Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to confirm whether there is a difference between laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) and abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) in patient survival for Cervical Cancer (Stage IB1, IB2, IIA1).

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to compare LRH (or robotic-assisted) and ARH in patients with cervical cancer (Stage IB1, IB2, IIA1), by a multicenter stratified randomized controlled study, mainly including the following aspects: 1. To compare the differences in PFS and OS between patients receiving LRH and ARH. 2. To investigate whether PFS and OS in LRH can be improved by more rigorous specification of surgical details (including tumor-free principles and standard surgical scopes). 3. To assess postoperative complications and quality of survival.

Interventions

Radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is performed as standard type C RH by Q-M classification, including cardinal ligaments divided at pelvic sidewall and uterosacral ligaments divided at near the sacral origin and the upper 1/4 to 1/3 of the vagina.

Surgery type B and C (refer to Q-M surgical staging) 4. Normal range of liver and kidney function and blood count (specific details below) Hemoglobin \> 60g/L Platelets \> 70\*109/L Leukocytes \> 3\*109/L Creatinine \< 50mg/dL Transaminase abnormal indicators ≤ 3 Maximum value of transaminases not exceeding 3 times the corresponding normal value. 5. No history of other malignancies. 6. Non-pregnancy. 7. Physical strength classification: Karnofsky score ≥ 60; 8. Subjects voluntarily joined the study, signed the informed consent form, were compliant and cooperated with the follow-up. 9. No psychiatric disorders and other serious immune system disorders (e.g. lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, HIV infection, etc.) (Note: Maximum diameter measurement of cervical lesions is based on PET-CT, or CT, or MRI)

Exclusion criteria

1. Those who are contraindicated for various surgeries and cannot undergo surgery. 2. Patients who have received pelvic/abdominal radiotherapy irradiation or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for cervical cancer. 3. Patients with recurrent cervical cancer 4. Patients with CT, MRI or PET-CT suggesting suspicious metastasis of pelvic lymph nodes with maximum diameter \>2cm after further improvement of preoperative examination.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the rate of PFS at 5 years5 years from surgeryThe curves of PFS at 5 years will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The logrank test will be used to test the above hypothesis, the 5-year PFS rate difference and its 95% confidence interval (CI) for the comparison between the two groups will be estimated.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the rate of OS at 5 years5 years from surgeryCox proportional hazards model will be used to estimate the hazard ratio and 95% CI for the effect of treatment on the 5-year OS rate.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Analysis of continuous outcomes1 years from surgeryCompare these between groups(The continuous outcomes include operative duration, anesthesia time, blood loss during operation, postoperative pain score and postoperative hospital stay.)
Analysis of binary outcomes5 years from surgeryCompare these between groups(The intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, one-month and one-year postoperative quality of life and sexual life will be treated as binary outcomes and will be summarised by number (%) of participants with the event.)
Safety analysis5 years from surgeryAdverse events (AEs) will be summarised using the number of AEs, the number (%) of participants with AEs by groups.
