Minimally invasive vs open surgery for early cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of removing the cervix and nearby tissue: minimally invasive (smaller incisions) versus open radical hysterectomy (a larger incision). It may help determine which approach works best for early-stage cervical cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical cancer that is squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous type
- Your cancer is early stage (IA1/IA2/IB1/IB2 or IIA1 with specific risk features)
- You are scheduled for a specific type of radical hysterectomy (Type II/III or Type B/C)
- Your scans show no spread to other organs and no lymph node spread larger than 2 cm
- You must be healthy enough for surgery (good blood counts and organ function, and energy level 0–1)

This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (using a stapler) for removing the uterus and cervix in women with early-stage cervical cancer (stage IB2 or IIA1). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective compared to standard surgery.
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 compares a modified, less-invasive tumor removal approach with standard surgery for people with early stage (IB2) cervical cancer. It aims to see if this technique reduces the risk of cancer coming back while helping you heal faster.
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 studies whether a radical hysterectomy—performed either through laparoscopy or an open abdominal operation—works best for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help improve cancer control and guide how doctors choose the best surgical approach for your stage.
This study tests whether a less invasive type of hysterectomy (keyhole surgery) works well for women with very early-stage cervical cancer. It aims to find a safer, faster recovery option for low-risk tumors.
