About this study

Official title: Oncological and Obstetrical Outcomes for Fertility Preservation in Early Cervical Cancer Patient With Laparoscopic-assisted Vaginal Radical Trachelectomy

Purpose: To evaluate the oncological and obstetrical outcomes of women with early-stage cervical cancer who underwent laparoscopic-assisted vaginal radical trachelectomy (LAVRT). All women with early-stage cervical cancer who planned to undergo fertility-preserved radical trachelectomy. The obstetric outcome evaluation was restricted to women with ≥12 months of follow-up and an active desire to conceive. The oncological outcome was evaluated in all patients.

Statistical methods: Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 26. The t-test is used for analyzing the continuous variables and the chi-squared test for categorical variables.

Read the detailed description

This retrospective cohort study reported the reproductive intentions and outcomes of cervical cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted vaginal radical trachelectomy (LAVRT) .The LAVRT procedure began with laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy, and all lymph nodes were removed for frozen pathological analysis. The laparoscopic-assisted vaginal radical trachelectomy procedure was continued only if the nodes were negative. The pararectal pouch was revealed, and the uterine arteries were divided from their origin to the internal iliac artery. The ureters were freed from the posterior leaf of the broad ligament down to the level where they entered the ureteral tunnel and then displaced laterally. The uterosacral ligaments, cardinal ligaments, and parametrial portions were then divided and dissected. The section of the procedure was performed laparoscopically. The vaginal epithelium was circumferentially incised approximately 3 cm distal to the endocervix. Frozen section analysis confirmed no cancer involvement at the endocervical or vaginal margin. The vaginal mucosa was sutured to the cervical stump to form a "new cervical os".

Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is indicated when women have at least one of 3 intermediate risk factors: stromal invasion of more than half of the cervix, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), or a tumor diameter of 4 cm or greater. Platinum-based chemotherapy (combination of paclitaxel and cisplatin or carboplatin for 3 courses) was used for these women.

Women attended follow-up visits every 3 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months for the next 3 years, and annually every year thereafter. At each follow-up visit, a physical and gynecological examination and a conventional Pap smear combined with an HPV test were performed. Abdominal (including both kidneys) and pelvic ultrasound (US) and serum tumor marker (SCC antigen or CA125 for adenocarcinoma) data were also included.

When tumor recurrence was suspected based on clinical findings or imaging studies, a positron emission tomography (PET)-CT scan was performed to investigate the extent of disease. Recurrence was confirmed by a lesion on biopsy or a positive PET-CT scan. The follow-up duration was measured from the day of the operation to the day of the last follow-up, death or loss to follow-up.

    The LAVRT procedure began with laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy, and all lymph nodes were removed for frozen pathological analysis. The laparoscopic-assisted vaginal radical trachelectomy procedure was continued only if the nodes were negative. The pararectal pouch was revealed, and the uterine arteries were divided from their origin to the internal iliac artery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-Free Survival

    the date of the treatment to the date of disease progression or death from any cause in the absence of progression

    Measured: 5-10 years

  2. Pregnancy rate after surgery

    Postoperative patients who have successfully conceived

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Recurrence rate

    The ratio of recurrent patients to the total enrolled patients

    Measured: 20years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Average operation time

    The length of the surgery

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. bleeding volume

    the amount of blood loss in the patient

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cervical Cancer, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-Free Survival (time frame: 5-10 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06489171, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jul 2024.
