Cervical cancer with ≤5 mm depth of invasion and > 7 mm horizontal spread - Is lymph node assessment only required in patients with LVSI?

CONCLUSIONS: Lymph node assessment is essential in any tumour with LVSI or in adenocarcinoma with 3-5 mm depth of invasion. It can be omitted in squamous cell carcinoma without LVSI, in adenocarcinoma with <3 mm depth of invasion and in any tumours without LVSI and with <3 mm depth of invasion.
