Laparoscopic Versus Open Radical Hysterectomy in Early-Stage Cervical Cancer
Egypt60 participantsStarted 2021-03-01
Plain-language summary
The study aims to compare laparoscopic-assisted radical hysterectomy with open radical hysterectomy in women with early-stage cervical cancer. A total of 60 patients diagnosed with FIGO stage IA1, IA2, and IB1 cervical cancer were enrolled and randomly assigned into two equal groups: laparoscopic surgery and open surgery. All patients underwent total hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, and pelvic lymph node dissection.
Perioperative outcomes were evaluated, including operative time, blood loss, complications, and hospital stay, as well as long-term oncological outcomes such as recurrence, recurrence-free survival, and overall survival. Patients were followed for up to three years postoperatively. The findings of this study aim to assess the safety, feasibility, and clinical effectiveness of laparoscopic-assisted surgery compared with the conventional open approach in the management of early-stage cervical cancer.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
