Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the safety and feasibility of para-aortic surgical staging. This will be assessed by registering proportion of included patients amongst all eligible patients. Furthermore by registering duration of surgical procedure, blood loss, complications and adverse events. Nodal yield will be compared to results found in other studies in order to assess completeness of lymphadenectomy. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Data on sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive value of MRI, PET-CT and surgical staging will be gathered to base power calculations for a future independent phase 3 trial. The amount and diameter of metastases and proportion of modified initial treatment plans for adjuvant therapy, due to histological findings will be documented. Morbidity and mortality, Quality of life (QLQ-C30 version 3.0, QLQ-CX24) and progression-free and overall survival during the first year after surgery will be compared between treatment arms. Treatment delay due to surgical intervention and histological analyses will be compared. Time to treatment will be measured from the day of randomization until start of chemo radiation. | — |
