Recurrent cervical cancer after trachelectomy diagnosed by hysteroscopy: A case report.

Surveillance for cervical cancer recurrence after radical trachelectomy is challenging and warrants additional research to establish evidence-based screening guidelines. Papanicolaou (Pap smear) with HPV testing, physical exam, and symptom reporting remain the standard of care despite high false positive rates. In this patient with a history of early-stage cervical adenocarcinoma status post radical trachelectomy, a diagnosis of recurrence was made hysteroscopically, prompting evaluation of the utility of this technique for screening and management of patients with suspected recurrent cervical cancer after trachelectomy.
