Background: Our aim was to study the prognostic value of the presence of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) in patients with stage IB and II cervical carcinoma treated by initial surgery.Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 193 patients who underwent, between 1985 and 1998, an initial radical hysterectomy with pelvic (+/-para-aortic) lymphadenectomy using midline laparotomy for stage IB (180 patients) or II (13 patients) cervical carcinoma. Postoperative therapy was delivered according to prognostic factors.Results: The rate of LVSI correlated significantly with tumor stage, nodal status and the location of positive nodes. Using univariate analysis, tumor size (
