The challenges of implementing less invasive surgical management for cervical cancer in a limited-resource setting in Botswana: A case series

This case series investigates the feasibility of implementing less invasive surgical management, specifically simple hysterectomy (SH), for early-stage cervical cancer in Botswana, where there is a critical shortage of gynecologic oncologists. The authors assess the accuracy of clinical and imaging-based staging for risk stratification and identify significant challenges, including delays in care and the reliability of staging, that hinder the adoption of SH in a limited-resource setting.
