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 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.
This is an observational study that follows people with endometrial cancer who have had surgery to check and remove pelvic (and sometimes paraaortic) lymph nodes. It looks at how different surgical approaches and any added treatment affect local control (keeping cancer from coming back in the pelvis/nearby areas).
This trial tests a specific chemotherapy start (induction) followed by standard treatment for cervical cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the aorta. It may help improve cancer control compared with standard timing/approach.
This trial studies whether removing (dissecting) lymph nodes during surgery can improve care for people with early-stage ovarian cancer that still needs chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have certain ovarian cancer types and your scans and surgery do not show clearly suspicious lymph nodes.
