How to stage cervical cancer
Pre op MRI or EUA & cystoscopy
FIGO says: Cool EUA Endocervical curettage Hysteroscopy Cystoscopy Proctoscopy IV urography XRay of lungs and skeleton
FIgo stage 1 cerv ca
Cancer confined to the cervix
IA:dx only by microscopy; stromal invasion with a max depth of 5.0mm and largest extension of < or =7mm
Ia1: measured stromal invasion <3.0mm
1A2: measured stromal invasion > or = 3 and <5mm
Figo stage IB
Clinically visible lesion confined to the cervix or microscopic lesion greater than T1a/IA2 (depth > or =5mm)
IB1: < or =4
IB2: >4cm, clinically visible
Figo stage 2 (a-B)
Cancer invades beyond uterus but not to pelvic wall or to lower third of vagina
IIA: no parametrial invasion
IIA1: clinically visible lesion < or =4cm
IIA2: clinically visible lesion >4cm
IIB: tumour with parametrial invasion
Stage III
Tumor extends to pelvic wall and/or involves lower third of vagina and or causes hydronephrosis or nonfunctional kidney
IIIA: tumor involves lower third of vagina, no extension to pelvic wall
IIIB: Tumor extend to pelvic wall or affects kidney
IIIB pelvic and para-aortic nodes
Figo stage 4
Tumour invades mucosa of bladder or rectum and or extends beyond true pelvis
IVA: local spread (bladed, rectum)
IVB: spread beyond pelvis
Treatment for stage 1AI
Can be treated conservatively with cone biopsy or LLETZ
LN risk <1.5%
Radical hysterectomy
Resection distant from edge of cervix
Uterine arteries are divided at the source
Vaginal cuff 1-2cm
Lymphadenectomy (not always)
Treatment for figo stage IB2 and IIa1
Surgery or RT
Both have similar outcomes
Treatment for 1B3 and IIA2
Radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy
Concurrent platinum-based chemoradiation (prognosis more favorable)
FIGO stage IIB to IVA or recurrence treatment
RT with chemo OR
Exteneration in medically fit patients
Treatment stage IVB/distant Mets
Chemoradiation
Cisplatin
