Twenty years of experience with less radical fertility-sparing surgery in early-stage cervical cancer: Oncological outcomes

CONCLUSION: Less radical fertility-sparing surgery with SLNM is safe in cervical cancers <2 cm at the largest diameter and infiltrating less than half of the cervical stroma.
