Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study hypothesizes that specific subgroups of LACC patients, (AJCC stage T3/T4, grade 3 tumors, and para-aortic lymph node involvement), have a higher prevalence of peritoneal metastasis. This peritoneal spread may serve as a prognostic factor, and diagnostic laparoscopy could improve staging accuracy, thereby guiding personalized treatment strategies and improving oncological outcomes.
