Cervical Cancer General Guidelines 1. Cervical cancer is diagnosed by biopsy.! ed cl All recommendations are based 2, Cervical cancer is on the 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) definitions and staging or TNM Classification (Appendie Of If dinically indicated, proctosigmoidoscopy and cystoscopy should be done to rule out bladder/bowel invasion. Metastatic work-up includes imaging studies, renal function tests, liver function tests, kidney urinary bladder intravenous pyelography (KUB IVP), barium enema and chest x-ray. Special diagnostic imaging studies may be done to guide treatment planning: ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, PET-CT scan and bone scintigraphy.’ Imaging is optional for patients with stage IB1 tumor or smaller, These imaging studies will not be part of the staging, I. MRIis more accurate than CT scan in determining the following? i. Primary tumor volume ii, Vaginal invasion iii, Parametrial involvement iv. Bladder and rectal involvement I. PET-CT scan is more accurate in determining lymph node, extrapelvic metastases and in detecting recurrence.** - Laparoscopic or robotic radical hysterectomy should not be performed for patients with early stage cervical cancer. The primary treatment of early stage cervical cancer is either surgery or concurrent chemotherapy and complete radiotherapy (chemoradiation). The primary treatment of late stage cervical cancer is concurrent chemotherapy and complete radiotherapy (chemoradiation).13 SGOP Treatment Guidelines 2018 3 ae a \ ¢ chemotherapy, radiati ble t0 receive che ‘tion wna 8.

Endometrial cancer requires his\ slogic confirmation and is diagnosed ts accuracy in detecting endometrial cancer by endometrial biop: is approximately 90%! The accuracy of Pipelle endometrial biopsy performed in an office is comparable to dilatation and curettage in women with postmenopausal bleeding with an endometrial thickness of 6 mm. With the 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system, performance of endocervical curettage (ECC) is no longer necessary.'27 Dilatation and curettage or hysteroscopy is reserved for those women who continue to have symptoms that cannot be explained by the results of the office biopsy.” Hysteroscopy with targeted endometrial biopsy is favored over D&C alone because it has a higher accuracy and superior diagnostic yield than a blind D&C" Directed biopsy thru hysteroscopic guidance and curettage of the background endometrium will result in an accurate diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma.**? If cervical stenosis or patient tolerance does not permit an office procedure, then Hysteroscopy with targeted endometrial biopsy and dilatation and curettage under anesthesia is necessary.'** For areas with no hysteroscope available then a dilatation and curettage may be performed. Imaging studies can aid in the metastatic work-up and tailoring of management but not to be used as basis for preoperative staging.

In centers where the facilities and expertise are available, laparoscopy should be considered as the preferred surgical approach for comprehensive surgical staging in women with endometrial cancer.” Laparoscopy (Laparoscopic-assisted vaginal _ hysterectomy [LAVH] and total laparoscopic hysterectomy [TLH]) in the following selected population appears to be a safe procedure:"” [Level 1a] a. endometrioid type b. body mass index (BMI) < 35 kg/m? c uterine diameter < 10 cm d. mobile uterus €. no severe cardiopulmonary disease f. no previous pelvic and abdominal radiation g with clinical stage I and II disease h. no bulky lymph node on imaging Laparoscopic surgery (LAVH/TLH + lymphadenectomy) has been shown to be associated also with fewer postoperative complications, lower incidence of transfusion, less blood loss, SGOP Treatment Guidelines 2018 31 eration time but shorter hospital stay: No difference ies ein terms of recurrence or survival."

The main advantages are in the short-term and clinical outcome showing decreased blood loss and length of hospitalization in the patients who undergo robotic surgery: ‘These advantages of robotic approach over laparoscopic technique are most pronounced in obese patients. However, robot-assisted surgery costs are greater with very limited access in the local setting.* (Level III B) 3. Alluterine specimens should be cut and examined immediately after removal to determine the extent of surgery. Ovarian preservation at the time of hysterectomy in young women with endometrial cancer is feasible but should be individualized. The recommendation of performing routine bilateral salpingo- oophorectomy as part of surgical staging procedure of women with endometrial cancer is based on the concept that the ovaries may be sites of occult metastatic disease and oophorectomy may decrease the risk of recurrence or subsequent ovarian cancer.
