Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radical hysterectomy is the most appropriate treatment for a stage IB1 squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, especially in a patient who has completed her family and where fertility preservation is not a concern. This approach aims to remove the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue and is typically recommended for early-stage cervical cancer.
