The extent of aortic lymphadenectomy in locally advanced cervical cancer impacts on survival.

CONCLUSION: When performing preoperative surgical staging in LACC, it is not advisable to take simple samples from the regional nodes. Radical dissection of the aortic and pelvic regions offers a more reliable staging of the LNs and has a favorable influence on survival. PMID: 33185045 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
