This study investigated potential preoperative predictors of pelvic lymph node (PLN) and para-aortic LN (PaLN) involvement in cervical cancer (CC).
This study retrospectively analyzed 283 patients diagnosed with early (stage IA1-IIA) CC who underwent retroperitoneal LN dissection between January 1992 and February 2015. Several risk factors that are believed to influence PLN and PaLN involvement in CC were analyzed as follows: age >50 years, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), tumor size ≥2 cm, hemoglobin <12 g/dL, and nonsquamous cell histologic type.
LVSI (odds ratio [OR] = 11.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.2-24.3) and tumor size (OR = 3.2, 95% CI = 1.4-7.2) were independent predictors of PLN involvement. None of the factors predicted PaLN involvement in a regression analysis. However, all nine patients who had PaLN involvement also had PLN involvement.
LVSI and tumor size independently increase the risk of PLN involvement.
本研究调查了宫颈癌(CC)患者术前盆腔淋巴结(PLN)及腹主动脉旁淋巴结(PaLN)受累的潜在预测因素。
本研究回顾性分析了1992年1月至2015年2月期间接受腹膜后淋巴结清扫术的283例诊断为早期(IA1-IIA期)CC的患者。分析了如下几种被认为影响CC患者PLN及PaLN受累的危险因素:年龄>50岁、脉管间隙浸润(LVSI)、肿瘤大小≥2 cm、血红蛋白<12 g/dL及非鳞状细胞组织学类型。
LVSI(比值比[OR]=11.3,95%置信区间[CI]=5.2-24.3)及肿瘤大小(OR=3.2,95%CI=1.4-7.2)是PLN受累的独立预测因素。回归分析中无因素可预测PaLN受累。然而,所有9例有PaLN受累的患者均有PLN受累。
LVSI及肿瘤大小独立增加PLN受累风险。
