This multi-center, randomized controlled study aims to compare the survival outcomes (including overall survival, progression-free survival and disease-free survival between Chinese uterine cervical patients receiving different surgical routes (laparotomy and laparoscopy) for radical hysterectomy or trachelectomy, which is the primary study objective. All patients with uterine cervical cancer of FIGO stage IA1 (with lymphovascular space invasion), IA2 and IB1 will be included and randomized into two groups: laparotomy and laparoscopy groups for radical hysterectomy or trachelectomy. Secondary study objectives include: patterns of recurrence, treatment-associated morbidity (6 months from surgery), cost-effectiveness, pelvic floor function, and quality of life.

RECRUITINGProgression-free survival
The length of time during and after the treatment of a disease, such as cancer, that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse.
Time frame: Five years
Overall survival
The length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease, such as cancer, that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive.
Time frame: Five years
Disease-free survival
In cancer, the length of time after primary treatment for a cancer ends that the patient survives without any signs or symptoms of that cancer.
Time frame: Five years
Morbidity rate
Refers to having a disease or a symptom of disease, or to the amount of disease within a population. In this study, morbidity of six months from the surgery is defined according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03
Time frame: Six months
