Adjuvant small field pelvic radiation for patients with high risk, Stage IB lymph node negative cervix carcinoma after radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection

“…6 -8 This makes it attractive theoretically to offer adjuvant pelvic radiation to the lymph node negative patients who are at high risk of local recurrence, because there should be a realistic expectation of improving overall survival by decreasing the pelvic recurrence rate. 6,9,10 Two problems have to be addressed before implementing such a strategy. The first is to identify the group of lymph node negative patients who are at high risk of recurrence so that the others can be spared adjuvant therapy.…”
