New surgical technique aims to reduce cancer spread in cervical cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07256977
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical methods for early-stage cervical cancer (IB2-IIA1). One is traditional open surgery, and the other is a minimally invasive approach using a stapler to prevent cancer cells from spreading. About 494 participants will be followed for 4.5 years to see which method works better and has fewer complications.
