Comparing surgical techniques for early cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares how well different surgical techniques for removing cervical cancer work in women with a fairly large tumor that hasn't spread far. You might consider joining if you are scheduled for this type of surgery and meet the health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 70 years old.
- Your cervical cancer is at a specific stage (IB3 or IIA2), meaning it is relatively large but has not spread far.
- You are having surgery to remove the uterus (radical hysterectomy) and the lymph nodes in the pelvis.
- Before surgery, tests show no signs of cancer in the lymph nodes, the tissue next to the cervix, or the lower part of the vagina.
- You are not pregnant and do not have another active cancer or a serious uncontrolled health condition.

This study compares two staging methods—using surgery results versus imaging tests—to help doctors plan treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may improve how accurately the cancer is mapped, which could affect treatment choices and outcomes.
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 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 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 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 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.
