Our study reaffirms the evidence against the use of adjuvant radio(chemo)therapy in low-risk early-stage cervical cancer. In intermediate-, and less pronounced in high-risk patients, however, it seems to be beneficial. The role of adjuvant radio(chemo)therapy in early cervical cancer should be further investigated in prospective randomized trials.
