Incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of ovarian metastasis in early-stage cervical cancer: a population-based analysis of 983 patients

Key Points

• Ovarian metastasis occurs in 8.5% of early-stage cervical cancer patients, affecting overall survival rates significantly.
• Risk factors include advanced age and tumor characteristics, suggesting clinicians should monitor these closely.
• Population-based analysis from a cohort of 983 patients provides broad insights into cancer progression trends.
• Findings imply that recognizing these risk factors may enhance early detection and treatment strategies.
