Surgical resection based on ontogenetic cancer field theory for cervical cancer: mature results from a single-centre, prospective, observational, cohort study.
Previous findings from our centre suggest that carcinoma of the cervix propagates within ontogenetic cancer fields, tissue compartments defined by staged morphogenesis. We aimed to determine whether surgical treatment that accounts for stage-associated, ontogenetic cancer fields and their associated lymphoid tissues results in locoregional tumour control without the need for adjuvant radiotherapy. ⋯ Leipzig School of Radical Pelvic Surgery, University of Leipzig Medical School, and the Gynecologic Oncology Research Foundation.
