Comparison of Pelvic Lymphadenectomy Versus Isolated Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Procedure for Early Stages of Cervical Cancers : a Multicenter Study With Evaluation of Medico-economic Impacts

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Uterine Cervical Dysplasia
Interventions
Procedure: only identification of sentinel nodes (without pelvic lymph-node dissection)
Procedure: identification of sentinel nodes + full pelvic lymph-node dissection
Registration Number
NCT01639820
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Patients with early cervical cancer are usually treated with radical hysterectomy + pelvic lymph-node dissection. The study randomizes patients in 2 arms. The control arm is the classical surgical treatment including identification of the sentinel nodes, full pelvic lymph-node dissection and radical hysterectomy.

The experimental arm is only sentinel node identification + radical hysterectomy.
