Brief Summary:
This clinical trial studies the physical function and quality-of-life before and after surgery in patients with stage I cervical cancer. Studying quality-of-life in patients undergoing surgery for cervical cancer may help determine the intermediate-term and long-term effects of surgery.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cervical Adenocarcinoma Cervical Adenosquamous Carcinoma Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma Lymphedema Stage IA1 Cervical Cancer AJCC v6 and v7 Stage IA2 Cervical Cancer AJCC v6 and v7 Stage IB1 Cervical Cancer AJCC v6 and v7 Procedure: Conization Other: Quality-of-Life Assessment Other: Questionnaire Administration Procedure: Therapeutic Conventional Surgery Procedure: Therapeutic Lymphadenectomy Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To examine the changes before and after non-radical surgical treatment (simple hysterectomy or cone biopsy [fertility preservation] and pelvic lymphadenectomy) on functional outcomes of bladder, bowel, and sexual function for stage IA1 (lymphatic vessel invasion positive [LVSI+]) and IA2-IB1 (=< 2 cm) carcinoma of the cervix.

II. To evaluate incidence and severity of lymphedema after non-radical surgery (simple hysterectomy or cone biopsy [fertility preservation] and pelvic lymphadenectomy) for stage IA1 (LVSI+) and IA2-IB1 (=< 2 cm) carcinoma of the cervix.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To investigate if non-radical surgery (simple hysterectomy or cone biopsy [fertility preservation] with pelvic lymphadenectomy) demonstrates greater physical function and less toxicity in comparison to historical data on radical surgery (radical hysterectomy or radical trachelectomy).

II. To evaluate incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events, including surgical complications, among the entire cohort and by treatment type.

III. To evaluate changes in quality of life (QOL) (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cervix [FACT-Cx]), cancer worries (Impact of Events Scale [IES]) and sexual (Female Sexual Function Index [FSFI])/reproductive concerns (RCS) among the entire cohort and by treatment type.

IV. To explore relationships (correlation, interaction, independence) between functional outcomes (i.e., bladder function, bowel function, sexual function), adverse events (including and surgical complication lymphedema [Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire (GCLQ)]), cancer worry (IES), surgical complications, and overall quality of life (FACT-Cx).

V. To determine participants' intention for conception & fertility rates (Integrative Care for Fertility [ICF]) and assess the reproductive concerns (RCS) of women following cone biopsy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for stage IA1 (LVSI+) and IA2-IB1 (=< 2 cm) carcinoma of the cervix.

VI. To estimate the efficacy of non-radical surgery (simple hysterectomy or cone biopsy [fertility preservation] and pelvic lymphadenectomy) for stage IA1 (LVSI+) and IA2-IB1 (=< 2 cm) carcinoma of the cervix.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo cone biopsy and pelvic lymphadenectomy or simple hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.

Patients complete the FACT-Cx, the IES, the FSFI, the GCLQ, and the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires at baseline, 4-6 weeks after surgery, and then every 6 months for 3 years. Patients undergoing cone biopsy and pelvic lymphadenectomy also complete the ICF and RCS questionnaires.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4-6 weeks, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 2 years.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in bladder and bowel function score based on supplemental bladder and bowel questions plus 4 items from the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cervix (3 bladder and 1 bowel question) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3 years ]
    Analysis of variance methods with repeated measurements and a time component will initially be used to determine whether there are significant changes over time.

  2. Change in sexual function and activity based on Female Sexual Function Index (19 items) score plus 2 Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System screener items [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3 years ]
    Analysis of variance methods with repeated measurements and a time component will initially be used to determine whether there are significant changes over time.

  3. Lymphedema [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Based on Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire score.

  4. Maximum grade and duration of severe adverse events associated with bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction and lymphedema [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years after non-radical surgical procedure ]
    Graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (version 5.0 will be used staring April 1, 2018).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum grade of treatment-related adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days after surgical procedure ]
    Graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (version 5.0 will be used staring April 1, 2018).

  2. Change in overall quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3 years ]
    Will be assessed based on Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cervix (15 items) score. Analysis of variance methods with repeated measurements and a time component will initially be used to determine whether there are significant changes over time.

  3. Change in cancer worries based on Impact of Events score [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3 years ]
    Analysis of variance methods with repeated measurements and a time component will initially be used to determine whether there are significant changes over time.

  4. Change in reproductive concerns based on reproductive concerns (14 items) score [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3 years ]
    Analysis of variance methods with repeated measurements and a time component will initially be used to determine whether there are significant changes over time.

  5. Site of first recurrence [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Classified as either local (pelvis regions, including vaginal) or distant (abdomen, lung, bone, brain, and other).

  6. Recurrence-free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Product-limit estimates according to the method of Kaplan and Meier will be used to estimate recurrence-free survival. In addition, Cox proportional hazard regression will be employed to evaluate relative risk (hazard ratio) adjusting for known prognostic factors. Trellis plots will be used to display point estimates of hazard ratio and respective 95% confidence intervals from subgroup analyses. Local recurrence will be summarized using frequency tables and plot of cumulative incidence of local recurrence over time.

  7. Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Product-limit estimates according to the method of Kaplan and Meier will be used to estimate overall survival. In addition, cox proportional hazard regression will be employed to evaluate relative risk (hazard ratio) adjusting for known prognostic factors. Trellis plots will be used to display point estimates of hazard ratio and respective 95% confidence intervals from subgroup analyses. Gompertz hazard regression will also be employed to evaluate relative risk (hazard ratio) and cure rates, adjusting for known prognostics factors.
