How would you treat an isolated port recurrence of an early stage cervical patient s/p WLE?
A literature search indicates that most port site recurrences are managed fairly aggressively with chemoRT or RT doses 45-66 Gy. This is understandable in the setting of locally advanced or high risk disease, however, for a truly isolated port site recurrence that has been completely resected in a pt with initial early stage disease (i.e. stage IB1, closest margin 1mm), is such aggressive therapy really necessary?

In limited cases we have managed this with surgery and chemoRT as definitive treatment
