New approach to cervical cancer treatment: comparing simple and radical hysterectomy

Cervical cancer remains a significant health concern, affecting millions of women each year. In this context, treatments for low-risk cervical cancer are gaining increasing interest.

Despite an elevated risk of complications, radical hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the uterus, cervix, and surrounding tissues, is the current standard for treating early-stage cervical cancer. However, recent data suggest that simple hysterectomy, which only removes the uterus and cervix, could be a safe and effective alternative for women with low-risk cervical cancer.
