In patients with LACC, hysterectomy is an option in the presence of a central residual tumor after CRT. However, the risk of grades 3 and 4 complications of performed surgery is high. The presence of macroscopic tumor in the pathology specimen and positive surgical margins are poor prognostic factors. The goal of the surgeon should be to achieve a negative surgical margin. It does not seem important if the surgery is simple or radical.
