In principle, treatment for cervical cancer should be decided according to clinical stage, lesion extent, patient’s age, general condition and comorbidities. The principle of individualized treatment should be followed in both early and advanced stages. Surgery is the most reasonable treatment option for early stage cervical cancer patients who are old and have no fertility requirements. Depending on the depth and extent of cancer infiltration in the cervix, total hysterectomy, subtotal hysterectomy, extensive hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection can be chosen. As long as there is no distant metastasis, all cancerous lesions can be removed through these surgeries. According to the statistics, the 5-year survival rate of early cervical cancer with extensive hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection is 100%. In recent years, clinicians have broken the traditional treatment model of cervical cancer and strengthened the overall concept of treatment, focusing on the improvement of quality of life, and the treatment of early-stage cervical cancer tends to be conservative, especially for young, infiltrating early-stage cervical cancer with fertility requirements, tumor diameter less than 2 cm and no lymph node metastasis, only wide hysterectomy of the cervix is performed, and laparoscopic removal of pelvic lymph nodes is performed at the same time. The operation is not only less invasive, but also preserves the uterus and gives patients a chance to have children after the operation, and can achieve the same treatment effect as extensive hysterectomy.
