Alexander Melamed,Daniel J. Margul,Ling Chen,Ling Chen,Nancy L. Keating,Marcela G. del Carmen,Junhua Yang,Brandon Luke L. Seagle,A.L. Alexander,Emma L. Barber,Laurel W. Rice,Jason D. Wright,Jason D. Wright,Masha Kocherginsky,Shohreh Shahabi,J. Alejandro Rauh-Hain +15 more
TL;DR: In an epidemiologic study, minimally invasive radical hysterectomy was associated with shorter overall survival than open surgery among women with stage IA2 or IB1 cervical carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
American Brachytherapy Society consensus guidelines for locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix. Part I: General principles
TL;DR: The American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) as discussed by the authors provided updated recommendations for locally advanced (Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Stages IB2-IVA) cervical cancer based on literature review and clinical experience.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Added Role of MR Imaging in Treatment Stratification of Patients with Gynecologic Malignancies: What the Radiologist Needs to Know
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to highlight the added role of MR imaging in the treatment stratification and overall care of patients with endometrial, cervical, or ovarian cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine tumors of the gynecologic tract: A Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) clinical document
TL;DR: Most neuroendocrine tumors of the gynecologic tract require a multi-modality therapeutic approach, determined by extent of disease and primary organ of involvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lymph node staging by positron emission tomography in cervical cancer: relationship to prognosis.
Elizabeth A. Kidd,Barry A. Siegel,Farrokh Dehdashti,Janet S. Rader,David G. Mutch,Matthew A. Powell,Perry W. Grigsby +6 more
TL;DR: Nodal involvement detected by FDG-PET in cervical cancer relates to clinical stage, is comparable to historical data, and stratifies patient recurrence and survival outcomes.

Prospective surgical-pathological study of disease-free interval in patients with stage IB squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix: a Gynecologic Oncology Group study.
Gregorio Delgado,Brian N. Bundy,Richard J. Zaino,Bernd-Uwe Sevin,William T. Creasman,Francis J. Major +5 more
TL;DR: DFI correlated strongly with depth of tumor invasion, both in absolute terms and infractional thirds, and was not significantly different for age, disease status of the surgical margins, tumor description, quadrant involved with tumor, uterine extension, and keratinizing status of tumor cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lymph Node Staging by Positron Emission Tomography in Patients With Carcinoma of the Cervix
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that FDG-PET detects abnormal lymph node regions more often than does CT and that the findings on PET are a better predictor of survival than those of CT in patients with carcinoma of the cervix.
Journal Article
Prognostic significance of cervical lesion size and pelvic node metastases in cervical carcinoma.
TL;DR: Excellent 5-year survival rates for women with Stage IB cervical carcinoma were associated with cervical lesions measuring less than 3 cm and resected pelvic lymph nodes which did not contain metastatic cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and distribution pattern of pelvic and paraaortic lymph node metastasis in patients with Stages IB, IIA, and IIB cervical carcinoma treated with radical hysterectomy.
Noriaki Sakuragi,Chikara Satoh,Naoki Takeda,Hitoshi Hareyama,Mahito Takeda,Ritsu Yamamoto,Toshio Fujimoto,Mamoru Oikawa,Takafumi Fujino,Seiichiro Fujimoto +9 more
TL;DR: The incidence and distribution pattern of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis in patients with cervical carcinoma should be investigated based on data from systematic pelvic lymph node and paraaortic lymph node dissection, so that a basis can be established for determining the site of selective lymph nodes dissection or sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results and complications of operative staging in cervical cancer: Experience of the Gynecologic Oncology Group
TL;DR: It is still not clear how many patients can be salvaged by treatment to extended paraaortic radiation fields, but longer periods of follow-up in patients whose treatment plans were based on surgical staging information will be required.
