Microinvasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma.
Squamous microcarcinomas of the uterine cervix represent a focus of controversy regarding a useful clinical definition. The confusion of terminology and numerous pathological definitions have led to a great variety of surgical treatments from the cone to the radical hysterectomy, with pelvic adenectomy. This report analyses retrospectively 133 cases of Stage IA cervical cancers which have been followed up for 10-240 months. The purpose of this work is to seek a uniform therapeutical approach to cervical microcarcinoma with the review of International Literature.
