Abstract
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare long-term survival outcomes of simple hysterectomy versus radical hysterectomy in stage IA2 cervical cancer.MethodsA total of 440 patients who underwent simple hysterectomy (SH group) or radical hysterectomy (RH group) between 2014 and 2019 were included in this study. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the Log rank test. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to control for confounders.ResultsThere were 258 patients in the RH group and 182 patients in the SH group. The two groups had similar 5-year DFS rate (89.25% vs 91.14%, P=0.562) and 5-year OS rate (95.71% vs 94.76%, P=0.482). Multivariable analysis showed that simple hysterectomy was not independently associated with poorer DFS (aHR, 1.608; 95% CI, 0.640–4.041; P=0.312) and OS (aHR, 1.122; 95% CI, 0.319–3.493; P=0.858) than radical hysterectomy for women with stage IA2 cervical cancer.ConclusionFor stage IA2 cervical cancer, a simple hysterectomy is safe and effective. Further studies are needed to testify against our findings.
