Implication

Matched-pair analysis demonstrates that vascular invasion predicts poor outcome in stage I cervical carcinoma, suggesting a need for risk-tailored adjunctive therapy.

Key Points

To evaluate the prognostic impact of vascular invasion across various lesion sizes in stage I cervical carcinoma.
Evaluated clinical outcomes in 138 patients diagnosed with stage I cervical carcinoma.
Performed a matched-pairs analysis controlling for tumor lesion size and extracervical spread.
Used regression analysis to determine whether vascular invasion provides independent prognostic information beyond standard anatomical tumor features.
Vascular invasion was significantly associated with poor clinical outcome across all lesion sizes after controlling for tumor size and extracervical spread.
Regression analysis confirmed that vascular invasion contributes significant prognostic value beyond the risk captured by lesion size and extracervical spread.
