Abstract

Objective: Interest in long-term outcomes of radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer has increased, especially after the LACC trial findings, which showed worse outcomes for minimally invasive surgery. However, limited information is available on 10-year oncological outcomes, particularly, recurrence and survival. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the 10-year oncological outcomes of patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 stage IB1 cervical cancer treated with radical hysterectomy performed via minimally invasive or open approaches. Methods: This retrospective, multi-center, observational study updates the data from the SUCCOR cohort. Patients diagnosed between January 2013 and December 2014 with tumors ≤4 cm without extra-cervical metastasis and treated with radical hysterectomy as the primary treatment were included, and a 10-year follow-up after surgery was successfully conducted. Results: A total of 556 patients were analyzed. The median age was 46 years (range; 18-82). The most common final International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 stage was IB1, 474 patients (85%), and the most common histology was squamous carcinoma, 376 patients (67.6%). The 5-year disease-free survival was 93%, and the 10-year disease-free survival was 90%. The overall survival was 97% at 5 years and 89% at 10 years. During follow-up, 9% (n = 49) of patients experienced recurrences, 78% (n = 38) within the first 5 years. Comparing surgical approaches, 10-year disease-free survival was 92% for minimally invasive surgery and 88% for open surgery (p = .12). Similarly, 10-year overall survival was 92% for minimally invasive surgery and 88% for open surgery (p = .12). Post-recurrence disease-specific survival was 47% at 60 months and 39% at 96 months. The 2-year survival after recurrence was 80% for late recurrences (>5 years) versus 69% for early recurrences. Conclusions: The overall survival after radical hysterectomy at 5-years was 97% in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. The recurrence rate at 10 years was 9%. No differences in 10-year survival were observed between the surgical approaches.
