Is there a place for a less extensive radical surgery in locally advanced cervical cancer patients?
These data offer the basis for tailoring the extent of radical surgery in LACC patients, through the selection of those lymph node stations likely to provide reliable information on the pathological status of UPN and parametrium.
These data suggest a transient suppression of cell-mediated immunity in open procedures when compared with laparoscopic interventions using CO(2) in a pediatric animal model. In addition, the type of gas used during laparoscopy also may modulate this transient immunosuppression.
