The current treatment for early-stage neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC) mainly relies on operation and chemotherapy. We want to evaluate values of postoperative radiation in early-stage NECC.
Retrospective cohort study. Early-stage NECC patients from 2006 to 2022 in our hospital were included and divided into Postoperative non-radiation group (Group A) and Postoperative radiation group (Group B). We use Kaplan-Meier method to analyze the progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), recurrence and OS rate.
Sixty-six cases were included, 32 (48.5%) in Group A and 34 (51.5%) in Group B. After 35 (range 12-116) months follow-up, 26 (39.4%) had recurrence. Compared with Group A, Group B had lower pelvic recurrence rate (12.5% vs 2.9%, = 0.142), higher distant recurrence rate (28.1% vs 44.1%, = 0.177), and similar mortality rate (29.4% vs 31.3%, = 0.871). Postoperative radiation in patients with cervical stromal invasion ≥1/2 showed an extended trend in PFS (33.9 months vs 47.9 months) and OS (40.7 months vs 70.0 months) but without statistical difference ( = 0.963, = 0.636). Lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) is a high-risk factor for tumour recurrence (HR 9.13, = 0.005), but radiation after surgery did not improve the PFS (51.5 months vs 48.8 months, = 0.942) and OS (53.9 months vs 60.6 months, = 0.715) in patients with LVSI.
Retrospective study and relative small sample size.
Postoperative radiation seems to prolong PFS and OS in patients with cervical stromal invasion ≥1/2. LVSI was a high-risk factor for tumour recurrence, but radiation after surgery in patients with LVSI seems have no survival benefits.
宫颈早期神经内分泌癌(NECC)的当前治疗主要依靠手术和化疗。我们想要评估早期NECC术后放疗的价值。
回顾性队列研究。纳入我院2006年至2022年的早期NECC患者,并分为术后未放疗组(A组)和术后放疗组(B组)。我们采用Kaplan-Meier法分析无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)、复发率和OS率。
共纳入66例患者,A组32例(48.5%),B组34例(51.5%)。经过35个月(范围12 - 116个月)的随访,26例(39.4%)出现复发。与A组相比,B组盆腔复发率较低(12.5%对2.9%,P = 0.142),远处复发率较高(28.1%对44.1%,P = 0.177),死亡率相似(29.4%对31.3%,P = 0.871)。宫颈间质浸润≥1/2的患者术后放疗在PFS(33.9个月对47.9个月)和OS(40.7个月对70.0个月)方面呈延长趋势,但无统计学差异(P = 0.963,P = 0.636)。脉管间隙浸润(LVSI)是肿瘤复发的高危因素(HR 9.13,P = 0.005),但LVSI患者术后放疗并未改善PFS(51.5个月对48.8个月,P = 0.942)和OS(53.9个月对60.6个月,P = 0.715)。
回顾性研究且样本量相对较小。
术后放疗似乎可延长宫颈间质浸润≥1/2患者的PFS和OS。LVSI是肿瘤复发的高危因素,但LVSI患者术后放疗似乎无生存获益。
