Abstract
We investigated current surgical management and follow-up of women with cervical cancer focusing on treatment of recurrent disease and the use of routine imaging during follow-up among gynaecological oncologists in the UK. A questionnaire including questions regarding perioperative management of primary disease in cervical cancer, follow-up post-treatment, assessment and management of recurrent cervical cancer, was sent to 84 gynaecological oncologists. Some 87% responded. Considerable variations in surgical management and follow-up were identified. With central recurrence of cervical cancer without prior radiotherapy, 90% would recommend radiotherapy instead of an exenteration. For central recurrence in irradiated women, only three (4%) would not recommend an exenteration. In women with pelvic sidewall relapse without prior radiotherapy, 65 responders (96%) would off er radiotherapy, while in pelvic sidewall relapse post-radiation 25 (37%) would recommend pelvic sidewall resection in a specialised centre. A total of 21% used routine imaging during follow-up. The wide variation in clinical practice indicates that there is a need to establish national guidelines for surgical management and follow-up of primary and recurrent cervical cancer.
