[Micro-invasive cancer of the cervix. The diagnosis and indications for treatment (author's transl)].
The histological criteria for diagnosing micro-invasive carcinoma of the cervix and for deciding the treatment which should theoretically follow these criteria have been reviewed from the literature. To make a diagnosis of micro-invasive carcinoma it is necessary to have an adequate biopsy specimen and at least a cone that has been taken to include healthy material. There is a need to have a classification that can easily be used by pathologists and the following different stages of early epithelioma are therefore proposed: widespread, spreading-incipient, early micro-invasive and an established micro-invasive. The risk of metastasis, although it is slight, should only be considered in the established micro-invasive stage. This may make extended surgical treatment justified.
