One more opportunity in early-stage cervical cancer: the role of photodynamic therapy in managing positive surgical margins

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for early-stage cervical cancer with positive surgical margins.
• Examined the efficacy of PDT as a minimally invasive treatment.
• Focused on patients with early-stage cervical cancer and positive surgical margins.
• Evaluated HPV eradication rates and relapse-free survival.
• Considered PDT as an alternative to repeat surgery.
• PDT demonstrated high rates of HPV eradication.
• Patients experienced durable relapse-free survival (RFS).
• Indicates potential as an adjunct to or alternative for repeat surgeries.
