To determine the feasibility of cervical conization and sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping as a fertility-sparing strategy to treat stage I cervical cancer and estimate the tumor margin status needed to achieve no residual carcinoma in the cervix. We identified all patients who desired fertility-preservation and underwent SLN mapping with cervical conization for stage I cervical cancer from 9/2005–8/2012. Relevant demographic, clinical, and pathological information was collected. Ten patients were identified. Median age was 28 years (range,18–36). None of the patients had a grossly visible tumor. The initial diagnosis of invasive carcinoma was made either on a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) or cone biopsy. All patients underwent preoperative radiologic evaluation (MRI and PET-CT). None of the patients had evidence of gross tumor or suspicion of lymph node metastasis on imaging. Stage distribution included: IA1 with lymphovascular invasion, 7(70%); and microscopic IB1, 3(30%). Histology included: squamous cell carcinoma, 8(80%); adenocarcinoma, 1(10%); and clear cell carcinoma, 1(10%). Nine patients underwent repeat cervical conization with SLN mapping, and 1 patient underwent post-conization cervical biopsies and SLN mapping. None of the patients had residual tumor identified on the final specimen. The median distance from the invasive carcinoma to the endocervical margin was 2.25mm, and the distance from the invasive carcinoma to the ectocervical margin was 1.9mm. All collected lymph nodes were negative for metastasis. After a median follow-up of 17 months (range,1–83), none of the patients were diagnosed with recurrent disease and 3 patients (30%) achieved pregnancy. Cervical conization and SLN mapping appears to be an acceptable treatment strategy for selected patients with small-volume stage I cervical cancer. Tumor clearance of ≥2mm appears to correlate well with no residual on repeat conization. A larger sample size and longer follow-up is needed to establish the long-term outcomes of this procedure.
