Impact of histological subtype on survival in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer that were treated with definitive radiotherapy: adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma versus squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the survival outcomes of patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma (AC/ASC) among patients with locally advanced cervical cancer that were treated with definitive radiotherapy.

Methods

The baseline characteristics and outcome data of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who were treated with definitive radiotherapy between November 1993 and February 2014 were collected and retrospectively reviewed. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to investigate the prognostic significance of AC/ASC histology.

Results

The patients with AC/ASC of the cervix exhibited significantly shorter overall survival (OS) (p=0.004) and progression-free survival (PFS) (p=0.002) than the patients with SCC of the cervix. Multivariate analysis showed that AC/ASC histology was an independent negative prognostic factor for PFS. Among the patients who displayed AC/ASC histology, larger tumor size, older age, and incomplete response to radiotherapy were found to be independent prognostic factors. PFS was inversely associated with the number of poor prognostic factors the patients exhibited (the estimated 1-year PFS rates; 100.0%, 77.8%, 42.8%, 0.0% for 0, 1, 2, 3 factors, respectively).

Conclusion

Locally advanced cervical cancer patients with AC/ASC histology experience significantly worse survival outcomes than those with SCC. Further clinical studies are warranted to develop a concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) protocol that is specifically tailored to locally advanced cervical AC/ASC.

Project description:ObjectivesTo examine the association of cervical cytology screening with the risk of adenosquamous cell carcinoma (ASC) and rare histological types of invasive cervical carcinoma (RICC), using comprehensive registry data, and to assess tumour human papillomavirus status of ASC and RICC.DesignNationwide, population based, nested case-control study.SettingSweden.ParticipantsAll cases of invasive cervical carcinoma in Sweden during 2002-11 (4254 confirmed cases after clinical and histopathological review). 338 cases were neither squamous cell carcinoma nor adenocarcinoma, including 164 cases of ASC and 174 cases of RICC (glassy cell carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma). 30 birth year matched controls from the general Swedish population were matched to each case by applying incidence density sampling.Main outcome measuresConditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios, interpreted as incidence rate ratios, for risk of ASC and RICC in relation to screening status and screening history, adjusted for education. Human papillomavirus distribution of ASC and RICC was based on available archival tumour tissues from most Swedish pathology biobanks.ResultsWomen with two screening tests in the previous two recommended screening intervals had a lower risk of ASC (incidence rate ratio 0.22, 95% confidence interval 0.14 to 0.34) and RICC (0.34, 0.21 to 0.55), compared with women without any test. High risk human papillomavirus was detected in 148/211 (70%) cases with valid human papillomavirus results from tumour tissues. The risk reduction among women with tumours that were positive (incidence rate ratio 0.28, 0.18 to 0.46) and negative (0.27, 0.13 to 0.59) for high risk human papillomavirus was similar, compared with women who did not attend any test.ConclusionsCervical screening is associated with reduced risk of ASC and RICC, and most ASC and RICC are positive for high risk human papillomavirus. This evidence provides a benchmark for evaluating future cervical screening strategies.

Project description:BackgroundDefinitive radiotherapy has become a more common treatment for cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (CESCC), but data about long-term clinical outcomes is still relatively sparse. The purpose of this study was to describe long-term clinical outcomes after definitive radiotherapy for CESCC, and identify the prognostic factors influencing these outcomes.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed all patients who received definitive radiotherapy for CESCC at our institution between 2006 and 2014. The overall survival (OS) rate, locoregional failure-free survival (LRFFS) rate, and toxicities were retrospectively evaluated during long-term follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors.ResultsA total of 120 patients were included for analysis. The median prescribed radiation dose for the gross tumor and metastatic lymph nodes was 60 Gy. Elective nodal irradiation (ENI) was performed on 99 patients (83%); 90 patients (75%) received concurrent chemotherapy. The OS rates were 22.7% at 5 years and 14.9% at 8 years. The LRFFS rates at 3, 5, and 8 years were 27.5%, 21.7%, and 15.0%, respectively. The univariate analysis suggested that N classification and non-regional lymph node metastasis (M1Lym) status were independent risk factors for overall survival (P<0.01). A dose of more than 60 Gy didn't have a statistically significant influence in the multivariate analysis, although a total dose of more than 60 Gy was associated with improved survival in the univariate analysis. Concurrent chemotherapy was not associated with OS or LRFFS time in the univariate or multivariate analysis. A total of 74 patients (61.7%) experienced locoregional treatment failure. The most commonly documented acute toxicities were grade 1 and grade 2 toxicities in 61 patients (50.8%). There were 2 patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism as a late toxicity event.ConclusionsDefinitive radiotherapy is a reasonable curative treatment option with laryngopharyngeal preservation for CESCC patients. Radical treatments for lymph node metastases may improve the OS and LRFFS times. Monitoring for thyroid function may be warranted during long-term follow-up.
