Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the oncologic safety of minimally invasive pelvic exenteration in patients with recurrence or persistence of cervical or vaginal cancer with pelvic location, suitable for pelvic exenteration according to the ESGO guidelines (European Society of Gynecological Oncology). The primary aim is to assess the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS). The secondary aim is to assess the 3-year overall survival (OS), the intraoperative and post-operative complication rate, and the patient's quality of life.
