Comparing two types of hysterectomy for early cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman with early-stage cervical cancer (stages IB1 to IIA1, not IB3)
- You will have a radical hysterectomy (removal of uterus and cervix with some surrounding tissue) between November 2018 and August 2025
- Your surgeon does not use a tool called a uterine manipulator during the minimally invasive surgery
- A vaginal cuff (a protective stitch at the top of the vagina) is created during surgery
- You may have had a cone biopsy before surgery (optional) or a sentinel node biopsy first (optional)

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 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.
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 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.
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.
