We aimed to determine appropriate treatment guidelines for patients with stages I-II high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (HGNEC) of the uterine cervix in a multicenter retrospective study.
We reviewed the clinicopathological features and prognoses of 93 patients with HGNEC of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages I and II. All patients were diagnosed with HGNEC by central pathological review.
The median overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 111.3months and 47.4months, respectively. Eighty-eight patients underwent radical surgery, and five had definitive radiotherapy. The hazard ratio (HR) for death after definitive radiotherapy to death after radical surgery was 4.74 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-15.90). Of the surgery group, 18 received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Pathological prognostic factors and optimal adjuvant therapies were evaluated for the 70 patients. Forty-one patients received adjuvant chemotherapy with etoposide-platinum (EP) or irinotecan-platinum (CPT-P). Multivariate analyses identified the invasion of lymphovascular spaces as a significant prognostic factor for both OS and DFS. Pelvic lymph node metastasis was also a prognostic factor for DFS. Adjuvant chemotherapy with an EP or CPT-P regimen appeared to improve DFS (HR=0.27, 95% CI, 0.10-0.69). A trend toward improved OS was also observed, but was not statistically significant (HR=0.39, 95% CI, 0.15-1.01).
Radical surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with an EP or CPT-P regimen was optimal treatment for stages I and II HGNEC of the uterine cervix.
我们旨在通过一项多中心回顾性研究,为国际妇产科联合会(FIGO)分期 I 和 II 期的子宫颈高级别神经内分泌癌(HGNEC)患者确定适当的治疗指南。
我们回顾了 93 例 HGNEC 患者的临床病理特征和预后,这些患者均经中心病理复查诊断为 HGNEC。
中位总生存期(OS)和无病生存期(DFS)分别为 111.3 个月和 47.4 个月。88 例患者接受了根治性手术,5 例患者接受了根治性放疗。根治性放疗后死亡的风险比(HR)为 4.74(95%置信区间[CI],1.01-15.90),显著高于根治性手术后死亡的 HR。手术组中有 18 例接受了新辅助化疗。对 70 例患者进行了病理预后因素和最佳辅助治疗的评估。41 例患者接受了依托泊苷-铂(EP)或伊立替康-铂(CPT-P)辅助化疗。多变量分析确定淋巴血管空间浸润是 OS 和 DFS 的显著预后因素。盆腔淋巴结转移也是 DFS 的预后因素。EP 或 CPT-P 方案的辅助化疗似乎改善了 DFS(HR=0.27,95%CI,0.10-0.69)。OS 也有改善的趋势,但无统计学意义(HR=0.39,95%CI,0.15-1.01)。
对于子宫颈 I 期和 II 期 HGNEC,根治性手术联合 EP 或 CPT-P 方案的辅助化疗是最佳治疗方法。
