SHAPE Trial: Can We Reduce Surgical Intervention in Cervical Cancer?
π Is Simple Hysterectomy a Safe and Effective Alternative to Radical Hysterectomy?
When a patient is diagnosed with early-stage cervical cancer, doctors ask:
π Does she need extensive radical surgery?
π Can we reduce surgical complications while maintaining treatment efficacy?
π¬ The SHAPE Trial Has the Answer!
The SHAPE trial found that simple hysterectomy could be a safe and effective alternative to radical hysterectomy for patients with low-risk, early-stage cervical cancer. The study revealed similar pelvic recurrence rates between the two procedures, suggesting a potential reduction in surgical intervention and complications.
π Key Findings from the Study:
β
Simple hysterectomy is a viable and safe surgical option.
β
Pelvic cancer recurrence rates were comparable for both procedures.
β
Fewer surgical complications lead to better recovery and improved patient outcomes.
