Pathological indications for conservative therapy in treating cervical cancer

Abstract

These results suggested that the indication of laser conization for early IC was the case within 4 mm invasion, completely excised.

Clinical efficacy of conservative laser therapy for early-stage cervical cancer

“…The main advantage of these methods over the destructive procedures, such as cryosurgery and laser vaporization, is that they provide histologic information on the depth of invasion and the involvement of the surgical margins (1) . We have performed neodymium-yttrium, argon, gadolinium (Nd-YAG) laser conization with vaporization of the base for the patients with cervical neoplasms and reported its usefulness as a conservative therapeutic tool for CIN and microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma (MIC) without lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI) (4)(5)(6) . In recent years, young patients with more advanced disease have been increasing in number, and the necessity of conservative therapy for those lesions is now becoming greater to preserve their fertility.…”
