Occult invasive cervical cancer after simple hysterectomy: a multi-center retrospective study of 89 cases

Abstract: BackgroundOccult invasive cervical cancer (OICC) is sometimes incidentally found in surgical specimens after a simple hysterectomy (SH). This study was aimed at identifying a subset of patients with OICC who have a favorable prognosis. This patient group may not require adjuvant radiotherapy and other procedures.MethodsThe medical records of women in whom OICC was detected after an inadvertent SH were retrospectively reviewed. The relevant data, including clinicopathological characteristics, treatment and clin… Show more

“…OICC primarily results from insufficient preoperative examination. The development of improved screening technologies and enhanced awareness in both patients and doctors regarding disease prevention possibly contributed to the decrease in incidence [1,2]. The most common causes of inadvertent simple hysterectomy were the lack of preoperative Pap smear, negative cytology, followed by insufficient evaluation of an abnormal Pap smear or cervical biopsy, and failure to carry out conization or endocervical curettage [18,19].…”

“…Cervical cancer can be incidentally diagnosed after simple hysterectomy performed for preinvasive cervical lesions or benign gynecologic conditions. The incidence of occult invasive cervical cancer (OICC) is between 2.7 % and 1.9 % according to recent reports [1,2]. If a cervical lesion is not microinvasive, a simple hysterectomy (SH) procedure is suboptimal and related to undesired poor survival rates [3].…”
