โœฆ Synopsis

Cervical cancer is easily recognized when it presents as a visible lesion, but a problem arises when it adopts unusual presentations. Cervical cancer can develop high in the endocervical canal, beyond the reach of cone biopsy. Copious vaginal discharge from cervical adenocarcinoma may lead to a false-negative Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. Treatment of cervicitis can result in a delay in diagnosis. Successful and timely diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer requires experience and vigilance. Careful intraoperative palpation of the cervix and uterus can help determine the location and extent of the lesion. Flexibility during surgery is required to utilize intraoperative findings and thus optimize treatment. Pitfalls of cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment with actual case presentations are presented along with other special problems in cervical cancer management such as incidental findings of cervical cancer in hysterectomy specimens, treatment of cervical stump cancers, and unusual cervical cancer cell types.

The management of microinvasive carcinoma of the cervix (MIC) has been ill-defined in the past and is a persistent focus of controversy. MIC with </= 3 mm of invasion-without lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI)-can be treated conservatively. In the presence of LVSI and invasion of up to 5 mm, a hys

Since the early 1940s, the incidence of cervical cancer has dramatically decreased due in large part to the work of Papanicolaou and Traut. Successful treatment can now be done using simple or radical surgical intervention for early invasive lesions and radiation therapy for more advanced lesions. H

Limb-salvage surgery is a safe and effective treatment for malignancies of the musculoskeletal system. Careful evaluation and planning are necessary to avoid both early and late complications. Biopsy must be carefully performed to avoid unnecessary contamination and to obtain adequate tissue for an
