Robotic vs open hysterectomy for early cervix cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares robotic surgery to open (traditional) surgery for women with early-stage cervix cancer. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for cancer control and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a specific type of cervix cancer: squamous, usual-type adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous (including “glassy cell”).
- Your cancer is early stage (FIGO 2018 Stage IA2, IB1, or IB2) with no spread to nearby tissues, lymph nodes, or distant organs on exam or scans.
- Your tumor is small enough for the study: it must be 4 cm or less on MRI (and if you qualify for “simple” hysterectomy, it must be 2 cm or less and with limited invasion on MRI).
- You must be eligible for surgery and agree to be randomly assigned to robotic or open surgery (a “simple” hysterectomy may be allowed only in specific small-tumor cases).
- You must be 18+ and able to complete follow-up; you should be generally well for surgery (ECOG performance 0–1) and able to have an MRI.

This trial studies whether robot-assisted surgery can be used safely and effectively for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help by using a precise surgical approach to remove the cancer while matching standard care for eligible patients.
This trial studies how well a less invasive laparoscopic surgery works for women with early-stage cervical cancer. If you have a small tumor and need a hysterectomy, this may be an option for you.
This study looks at two ways to remove the uterus and cervix for early-stage cervical cancer: minimally invasive surgery (like laparoscopic or robotic) versus open surgery (traditional large incision). It checks whether the less invasive approach works just as well in terms of survival and keeping the cancer from coming back.
This trial compares two ways of performing a radical hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and surrounding tissue) for early-stage cervical cancer: minimally invasive surgery versus traditional open surgery. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and more effective for treating the cancer.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (robot-assisted vs. conventional laparoscopy) for removing the uterus in people with early-stage, low- to intermediate-risk endometrial cancer. The goal is to see which approach offers the best value and outcomes.
This study tests a newer, less invasive way to remove the uterus and cervix in early-stage cervical cancer (tumor size 2–4 cm). The goal is to see if using a special stapling device makes the surgery safer with fewer side effects, while still effectively treating the cancer.
