The purpose of the two pilot studies was to determine the feasibility and safety of using less-radical fertility-preserving surgery: laparoscopic lymphadenectomy with sentinel lymph node identification (SLNI) followed by a large cone or simple trachelectomy (LAP-I protocol) and the LAP-III protocol, which includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).LAP-I: Forty women underwent laparoscopic SLNI, frozen-section analysis, and a complete pelvic lymphadenectomy as the first step of treatment. Seven days after final histopathological processing of dissected nodes, a large cone or simple vaginal trachelectomy was performed in patients with negative nodes. Nine women had a tumor larger than 20 mm, prompting the administration of three cycles of NAC before surgery.LAP-I: Six frozen sections were positive (15%). In these cases, a type III Wertheim was immediately performed. There were no false-negative SLNs. There was one central recurrence, but after chemoradiation therapy, there was no evidence of the disease 62 months post-treatment. Twenty-four of 32 women whose reproductive ability had been maintained tried to conceive. Of these 24 women, 17 became pregnant (71% pregnancy rate). Eleven mothers gave birth to 12 children (I at 24 weeks, I at 34 weeks, I at 36 weeks, and 9 between 37 and 39 weeks). LAP-III: Nine patients were included. In 7 of these 9 women, reproductive ability was maintained, with 3 women becoming pregnant (1 full term and 2 ongoing).SLNI improves safety in fertility-sparing surgery. Large cone or simple trachelectomy combined with laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy can be a feasible method that yields a high, successful pregnancy rate. NAC followed by fertility-sparing surgery is an experimental alternative treatment for larger tumors. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
