Radical trachelectomy has enabled select women with stage I cervical cancer to maintain fertility after treatment. Tumor size ≥2 cm has been considered a contraindication and those patients denied trachelectomy. We report our trachelectomy experience with tumors measuring 2–4 cm. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients planned for fertility-sparing radical trachelectomy. Largest tumor dimension was determined by physical exam, preoperative MRI, or pathology. No patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Twenty-nine of 110 (26%) patients had stage IB1 disease with tumors 2–4 cm. Median age was 31 years (range, 22–40) and 83% were nulliparous. Thirteen (45%) had squamous cell carcinoma, 12 (41%) adenocarcinoma, and 4 (14%) adenosquamous. Thirteen of 29 (45%) patients had positive pelvic nodes. All paraortic nodes were negative. Due to intraoperative frozen section, 13 (45%) patients underwent immediate hysterectomy and 1 (3%) definitive chemoradiation. Due to high-risk features on final pathology, 6 (21%) patients who had retained their uterus received chemoradiation. Nine (31%) patients underwent a fertility-sparing procedure. At median follow-up 44 months (range, 1–90) there was one recurrence. Expanding radical trachelectomy inclusion criteria to women with 2–4 cm tumors allows for a fertility-sparing procedure in 30% of patients who would otherwise have been denied the option, with no compromise in oncologic outcome.
