Résumé

Current guidelines (ASCO, ESTRO, and ESGO) recommend para-aortic lymphadenectomy (PAL) for lymph node staging in patients with a negative initial PET-CT in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), with the aim to determine the radiation fields for radiochemotherapy. The main goal of this study was to compare overall survival (OS) in two groups, which differed according to the para-aortic lymph node staging technique used: imaging alone versus imaging and PAL. Secondary objectives were to determine recurrence-free survival (RFS), the proportion of false negatives on PET-CT, and surgery-related complications.
