A patient diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer is 25 years old and expresses a desire to have children. What procedure might the physician offer as treatment?
A) Radical hysterectomy
B) Radical culposcopy
C) Radical trabeculectomy
D) Radical trachelectomy
Ans: D
Feedback: A procedure called a radical trachelectomy is an alternative to hysterectomy in women with invasive cervical cancer who are young and want to have children. In this procedure, the cervix is gripped with retractors and pulled down into the vagina until it is visible. The affected tissue is excised while the rest of the cervix and uterus remain intact. A drawstring suture is used to close the cervix. For a woman who wants to have children a radical hysterectomy would not provide the option of children. A radical culposcopy and a radical trabeculectomy are simple distracters for this question
