Abstract:
In the past two decades,laparoscopic surgery has been increasingly used in the treatment of early-stage cervical cancer because of equal survival and faster recovery compared to abdominal surgery.Recently,a phase Ⅲ randomized controlled clinical trial revealed unexpected results that minimally invasive surgery was associated with significantly increased risks for tumor recurrence and death in patients with early-stage cervical cancer,causing a great debate worldwide.Herein,we highlighted the key points in the debate and tossed out several ideas on how to face and deal with the controversy.
