Do you offer adjuvant treatment for patients with early-stage cervical cancer and isolated tumor cells identified in sentinel lymph nodes, if they would otherwise not meet criteria for adjuvant radiation therapy?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
ITCs are treated as n0 in all cancers and thus in the absence of all other risk factors, I would recommend observation.
I may have a lower threshold re: the discussion of RT for patients that have 1 or 2 risk factors or are otherwise close to meeting Sedlis criteria.
