| style="background:#F5F5F5;" align="center" + |• Stage I (tumor invades myometrium) or <br> • Stage II (tumor demonstrates cervical stroma invasion) <br> • Tumor usually moderately differentiated or poorly differentiated
| style="background:#F5F5F5;" align="center" + |• Total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorecomy, and lymph node evaluation <br> • Adjuvant radiotherapy is indicated for patients with risk factors

| style="background:#DCDCDC;" align="center" + |High risk
| style="background:#F5F5F5;" align="center" + |• Stage III or higher  or <br> • Any stage with serous or clear cell carcinoma
