Treatment
All patients underwent radical hysterectomy (RH) and pelvic
lymphadenectomy. Nine patients were subjected to para-aortic
lymphadenectomy. Methods of operation included laparotomy, laparoscopy,
and robotic laparoscopy. Three patients received systemic chemotherapy
before surgery, and fifty-three patients received adjuvant therapy after
surgery. The adjuvant therapy included radiotherapy alone (RT, n=3),
chemotherapy alone (CT, n=13), and radiotherapy plus chemotherapy
(RT+CT, n=37). CT represented systemic chemotherapy and was divided into
two groups: non-etoposide + platinum treatment (non-EP, n=31) and
etoposide + platinum treatment (EP, n=19). The RT included 25 cycles of
pelvic external radiation, typically 50 Gy in total.
