This study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes in carcinoma cervix before and after gynecologic oncology sub-specialization at a tertiary care hospital, in India. This was a retrospective cohort study comparing women with operable cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy before and after gynecologic oncology sub-specialization. Electronic medical records of women operated for early carcinoma cervix between 2001 and 2010 and 2011-2015 were reviewed and compared for treatment and oncological outcomes. Seventy-four patients were operated over 5 years after sub-specialization as against 59 over 10 years before sub-specialization, with similar clinical characteristics. After surgical-pathological examination, both cohorts were comparable with regard to mean tumor size, lymph nodes retrieved, deep stromal invasion, and involvement of lymph nodes, parametrium, and vaginal margins. After sub-specialization, the rate of intraoperative (3% versus 14%, p  = 0.018) and postoperative complications (15% versus 46%, p  &lt; 0.001) was lower. Adjuvant radiation was used more after sub-specialization (50% versus 24%, p  &lt; 0.001). The follow-up rates were similar in both groups with comparable 5-year recurrence-free survival and overall survival rates. The hazard ratio for death after sub-specialization was 0.39 (95% CI 0.12 to 1.22) after adjusting for histology, stage, grade, and presence of intermediate or high risk factors. Gynecological oncologic sub-specialization decreased intraoperative and postoperative complications, improved pathological reporting, and enabled appropriate tailoring of adjuvant therapy.
