Background. The priority direction of modern oncology is the development and introduction of organ-sparing treatments in cancer patients of reproductive age.
Case report. The paper describes the first clinical experience with complex organ-sparing treatment according to the radical program for stage IB invasive cervical cancer in a reproductive-aged patient. A set of therapeutic measures has been proposed to ensure the functional safety of the uterus and appendages in the patient with cervical cancer who needs combination treatment, i.e. extended surgery followed by radiation or chemoradiotherapy to the pelvic area. The main technical technique was the uterine and appendage transposition that was performed as part of radical abdominal trachelectomy and could remove the utero-ovarian complex from the radiation load zone.
In addition, the uterine locking apparatus was intraoperatively formed using a shape-memory implant made of titanium nickelide. The follow-up lasted 10 months and showed a satisfactory oncological efficacy.
Conclusion. Thus, the described clinical case shows that organ-sparing surgery can be performed as part of comprehensive treatment using the radical program in a reproductive-aged patient with invasive cervical cancer.
