Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to confirm whether there is a difference between laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) and abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) in patient survival for Cervical Cancer (Stage IB1, IB2, IIA1).

Description:

The purpose of this study is to compare LRH (or robotic-assisted) and ARH in patients with cervical cancer (Stage IB1, IB2, IIA1), by a multicenter stratified randomized controlled study, mainly including the following aspects:

1. To compare the differences in PFS and OS between patients receiving LRH and ARH.

2. To investigate whether PFS and OS in LRH can be improved by more rigorous specification of surgical details (including tumor-free principles and standard surgical scopes).

3. To assess postoperative complications and quality of survival.

Intervention

Other:
• Total Laparoscopic or Robotic Radical Hysterectomy
Radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is performed as standard type C RH by Q-M classification, including cardinal ligaments divided at pelvic sidewall and uterosacral ligaments divided at near the sacral origin and the upper 1/4 to 1/3 of the vagina.
• Total Abdominal Radical Hysterectomy
Radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is performed as standard type C RH by Q-M classification, including cardinal ligaments divided at pelvic sidewall and uterosacral ligaments divided at near the sacral origin and the upper 1/4 to 1/3 of the vagina.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Analysis of continuous outcomes	Compare these between groups(The continuous outcomes include operative duration, anesthesia time, blood loss during operation, postoperative pain score and postoperative hospital stay.)	1 years from surgery
Other	Analysis of binary outcomes	Compare these between groups(The intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, one-month and one-year postoperative quality of life and sexual life will be treated as binary outcomes and will be summarised by number (%) of participants with the event.)	5 years from surgery
Other	Safety analysis	Adverse events (AEs) will be summarised using the number of AEs, the number (%) of participants with AEs by groups.	5 years from surgery
Primary	the rate of PFS at 5 years	The curves of PFS at 5 years will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The logrank test will be used to test the above hypothesis, the 5-year PFS rate difference and its 95% confidence interval (CI) for the comparison between the two groups will be estimated.	5 years from surgery
Secondary	the rate of OS at 5 years	Cox proportional hazards model will be used to estimate the hazard ratio and 95% CI for the effect of treatment on the 5-year OS rate.	5 years from surgery
