“…Women diagnosed at a pre-scheduled visit due to symptoms had a higher educational level and more often high-risk disease compared to symptomatic women diagnosed at regular follow-up. Previous studies have used retrospectively collected survival data to conclude on the efficacy and justification of follow-up visits [3,4,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In addition to the present study, a minority of the studies [3,4] found a better survival of women with asymptomatic recurrence and it seems tempting to conclude that follow-up visits improve survival.…”

“…Consequently, there is a relatively low risk for disease recurrence; the preponderance of cases are identified within 3 years from the initial diagnosis [2,3,4]. Despite 5-year relative survival rates approaching 83%, nearly 7,780 patients expired from disease in 2009 [1,5].…”

“…Most cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas (sccs); adenocarcinoma accounts for 10%-15% of cases 2 . Depending on disease stage, treatment consists of surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of radiation and chemotherapy 2 , and the risk of recurrence ranges from 13% to 17% 3 . Most cases are diagnosed at International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage i or ii 3 , and the 5-year survival rate for those women is high-that is, 80%-85% for stage ib disease treated with radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy 4 .…”
