Abstract

The development of more conservative techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of the early stages of cervical cancer has progressed, reducing mortality and improving the chance of women to conceive following treatment. This study focuses on a 33-year-old woman who presented with postcoital bleeding. The patient in this study had a radical trachelectomy for treatment of stage 1A2 cervical cancer.
