Surgery to remove pelvic lymph node spread in cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether surgically removing cancerous pelvic or nearby lymph nodes before or as part of standard treatment improves outcomes for women with certain cervical cancers. It focuses on people whose scans suggest lymph node metastasis can be safely removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re a woman age 20 to 70
- You were newly diagnosed with cervical cancer type: squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous cancer
- Your CT or MRI shows pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes large enough for the study (or multiple nodes of a certain size)
- Your planned treatment includes chemotherapy plus radiation (often called CCRT)
- You can have surgery and are well enough for treatment (performance score 0–1)
- Imaging suggests the cancer in the lymph nodes can be removed with surgery

This trial studies whether removing lymph nodes during surgery helps people with stage IIICr cervical cancer. It looks at outcomes and may help guide better treatment for lymph node spread.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a preventive radiation treatment to lymph node areas near the abdomen helps stop cervical cancer from spreading. It aims to improve outcomes for people with certain cervical cancer stages and lymph node results on PET-CT.
This trial looks at two surgical approaches to remove the cervix in people with specific early-to-mid stage cervical cancer. It aims to see which approach is safer and/or works better for cancer control based on your cancer stage and scan results.
This trial studies whether a specific type of surgery (done through the abdomen or with keyhole surgery) is the right treatment for certain early cervical cancers. It aims to see how well these surgeries work when cancer hasn’t spread to lymph nodes.
This trial tests a new way to look at lymph nodes during surgery for gynecologic cancers. It may help doctors decide immediately if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, which could guide treatment decisions during the same operation.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether removing specific lymph nodes in the lower pelvis and around the aorta, along with standard curative treatment, improves outcomes for people with locally advanced cervical cancer. It is mainly aimed at patients whose scans show pelvic lymph nodes involved but not clearly cancer in the para-aortic nodes.
