Brief summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the long-term outcomes and safety of Querleu-Morrow-B(QM-B) and Querleu-Morrow-C(QM-C) hysterectomy for early cervical cancer. In this study, the surgical approach for QM-B and QM-C hysterectomy will be abdominal.

Detailed description

Primary Objective: To compare 5-year overall survival and 5-year disease-free survival amongst patients who undergo a QM-B hysterectomy versus those who undergo a QM-C hysterectomy for early stage cervical cancer. Secondary Objectives: Compare operation time between arms. Compare blood loss between arms. Compare blood transfusion between arms. Compare intraoperative complications between arms. Compare postoperative complications between arms. Compare quality of lifes between arms.

Interventions

PROCEDUREQM-C Hysterectomy

This operation corresponds to the classical radical hysterectomy. The lateral border is defined as the medial aspect of the internal iliac artery and vein. Transection of the rectovaginal and rectouterine ligaments is performed at the rectum. Transection of the ventral parametrium ligament is performed at the bladder. Both the vesicouterine and vesicovaginal ligaments are resected. The ureter is completely mobilized and lateralized. The length of the vaginal cuff is adjusted to the vaginal extent of the tumor.

PROCEDUREQM-B Hysterectomy

Type B is the modified radical hysterectomy. The ureter is unroofed and mobilized laterally, permitting transection of the paracervix at the level of the ureteral tunnel. Partial resection of the uterosacral peritoneal fold of the rectouterine ligament (dorsal parametrium) and the vesicouterine (ventral parametrium) ligament also is a standard component of this resection. Approximately 10 mm of the vagina from the caudal edge of the cervix or tumor is resected, without intent to radically resect the paravaginal tissues.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients who have signed an approved Informed Consent * 18.5≤BMI\<28 * Histologically confirmed primary adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix; * Patients with Histologically confirmed stage IA1 (with lymph vascular invasion), stage IA2, stage IB1, stage IB2, or stage IIA1 disease(FIGO 2018). * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1. * Patients undergoing the Non-Fertility-Sparing surgery. * Patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Exclusion criteria

* The life expectancy of the patient is less than 6 months. * Patients with serious medical diseases. * Patients with contraindications to surgery or anesthesia. * Preoperative imaging studies suggest metastasis to pelvic lymph nodes or para-aortic lymph nodes. * Patient asks to preserve fertility. * The patient requested direct radiation therapy. * Patients with adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy before surgery. * Patients judged by the investigator to be unsuitable to participate in this trial.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of overall survival5 years from surgeryCompare treatment equivalence
Rate of disease-free survival5 years from surgeryCompare treatment equivalence

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of blood transfusionIntra-operativelyCompare rate of blood transfusion between groups
Rate of intraoperative complicationsIntra-operativelyCompare intraoperative complications between groups
Rate of postoperative complications6 months from surgeryCompare postoperative complications between groups
Operation timeIntra-operativelyCompare operation time between groups by timer
Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire5 years from surgeryCompare PFDI between groups by questionnaire PFDI-20. The calculation of the total scores of PFDI-20 range from 0 to 300; the higher the score the greater the perceived impact that pelvic floor dysfuntion has on a patient's life.
Costs6 months from surgeryCompare costs between groups
Quality of life Questionnaires6 months from surgeryCompare quality of lifes between groups by questionnaire: EORTC CX24. EORTC CX24 for symptom experience, body imageand sexual/vaginal functioning. The scores of EORTC CX24 range from 0 to 100; a higher score represents a higher (better) level of functioning, or a higher (worse) level of symptoms.
Volume of blood lossIntra-operativelyCompare blood loss between groups by assessment
