[Conisation in stage Ia cervix cancer].
Between 1975 and 1988, a total of 78 patients suffering from cervical cancer stage Ia were treated by conisation based on a positive smear. According to FIGO, these 78 patients consisted of 53 (67.9%) stage Ia1 and 25 (32.1%) stage Ia2 cases. Complete removal of the tumour by conisation was achieved in 51 patients. In 23 cases (29.5%) the margin of resection was reached by a carcinoma in situ, in 4 cases (5.1%) invasive carcinoma was found. Conisation was not followed by further surgery in 10/51 patients with complete tumour removal. One patient (1/23) with incomplete removal underwent surgery elsewhere. In the other 67/78 patients following hysterectomy, the pathologist diagnosed three cases of cervical cancer, 11 cases of carcinoma in situ and 53 cases (67.9%) without pathological findings. Carcinoma in situ after hysterectomy was found in only 2 cases (4.9%) with primarily free resection margins of the conus. Among the 27 patients with carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma reaching the conus margin, 9 cases of carcinoma in situ and 3 invasive carcinomas were diagnosed histologically after hysterectomy and one patient underwent surgery elsewhere. In this study, the value of conisation as single therapy of cervical cancer stage Ia1 and stage Ia2 with good prognosis (depth of infiltration of < 3 mm and no invasion of blood vessels) is discussed and the importance of thorough and exact histological examination is emphasised.
