Would need to determine if this is indeed a cervical primary or possibly an endometrial cancer with cervical involvement. Would order a TVUS and counsel the patient to undergo LLETZ or cervical conization. Would also need to know the depth of invasion.

The ConCerv and SHAPE trials each evaluated the cancer outcomes of patients with stage IA2 to IB1 cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy as compared to simple hysterectomy with lymph node assessment. These trials evaluated slightly different patient populations, but both found that simpl...
