What to look for this week on Contemporary OB/GYN®

You can expect a variety of topics to be covered this week on Contemporary OB/GYN®, including:

While no difference was shown in disease-free survival rates between surgical and non-surgical staging methods, laparoscopy benefits patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIB cervical cancer. Surgical staging also has a cancer-specific survival benefit, according to a study published in the International Journal of Gynecological Cancers.
