Primary surgical treatment in cervical carcinoma offers an unrepeatable chance to assess the biologic characteristics of the neoplasia by surgical specimen. The detection of factors of risk for locoregional diffusion, clinical staging being equal, can guide a subsequent target radio-treatment by identifying a group of patients at higher risk for relapses. The analysis of 155 cases of cervical carcinoma treated with radical primary surgery and pelvic lymphadenectomy at the Gynecologic Institute of Padua University has stressed the statistically significant correlation (P < 0.05) existing between lymphatic diffusion and presence of neoplastic cells in capillaro-like spaces, degree of neoplastic cervical infiltration and parametrial diffusion. According to the Authors the presence of these features is a reliable basis to select patients eligible for post-surgery radiotreatment.
