Major cancer study questions safety of 'Keyhole' surgery
NCT ID NCT03955185
Summary
This study aims to determine which surgical method is better for treating early cervical cancer: traditional open abdominal surgery or newer minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery. It will follow 2,000 patients in China who choose their preferred surgery type, tracking their survival and cancer recurrence for several years. The research was launched after recent high-profile studies suggested minimally invasive surgery might lead to worse survival rates, creating significant debate among cancer doctors.
