[Surgery alone or in association with preoperative uterovaginal brachytherapy for stage IB1 cervical cancer: Toxicities profiles].

CONCLUSION: The present study comparing two stage-IB1 cervical cancer treatment strategies found no significant difference in early or late complications. In 2 months, there was greater grade-3 urinary toxicity (21.1%) and sexual disorder (15.8%) with preoperative brachytherapy but no significant difference. Exclusive surgery is probably preferable for the patient's quality of life. PMID: 25986397 [PubMed - in process]
