- Abstract
Background: The SUCCOR cohort was developed to analyse the overall and disease-free survival at 5 years in women with FIGO 2009 stage IB1 cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the use of adjuvant therapy in these women, depending on the method used to diagnose lymphatic node metastasis. Patients and Methods: We used data from the SUCCOR cohort, which collected information from 1049 women with FIGO 2009 stage IB1 cervical cancer who were operated on between January 2013 and December 2014 in Europe. We calculated the adjusted proportion of women who received adjuvant therapy depending on the lymph node diagnosis method and compared disease free and overall survival using Cox proportional-hazards regression models. Inverse probability weighting was used to adjust for baseline potential confounders. Results: The adjusted proportion of women who received adjuvant therapy was 33.8% in the sentinel node biopsy + lymphadenectomy (SNB+LA) group and 44.7% in the LA group (p = 0.02), although the proportion of positive nodal status was similar (p = 0.30). That difference was greater in women with negative nodal status and positive Sedlis criteria (difference 31.2%, p = 0.01). Here, those who underwent a SNB+LA had an increased risk of relapse [hazard ratio (HR) 2.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.98–6.33, p = 0.056] and risk of death (HR 3.49, 95% CI 1.04–11.7, p = 0.042) compared with those who underwent LA. Conclusions: Women in this study were less likely to receive adjuvant therapy if their nodal invasion was determined using SNB+LA compared with LA. These results suggest a lack of therapeutic measures available when a negative result is obtained by SNB+LA, which may have an impact on the risk of recurrence and survival.

- Abstract
Objective To evaluate whether compliance with European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) surgery quality indicators impacts disease-free survival in patients undergoing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, 15 ESGO quality indicators were assessed in the SUCCOR database (patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage 2009 IB1, FIGO 2018 IB1, and IB2 cervical cancer between January 2013 and December 2014), and the final score ranged between 0 and 16 points. Centers with more than 13 points were classified as high-quality indicator compliance centers. We constructed a weighted cohort using inverse probability weighting to adjust for the variables. We compared disease-free survival and overall survival using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis in the weighted cohort. Results A total of 838 patients were included in the study. The mean number of quality indicators compliance in this cohort was 13.6 (SD 1.45). A total of 479 (57.2%) patients were operated on at high compliance centers and 359 (42.8%) patients at low compliance centers. High compliance centers performed more open surgeries (58.4% vs 36.7%, p<0.01). Women who were operated on at centers with high compliance with quality indicators had a significantly lower risk of relapse (HR=0.39; 95% CI 0.25 to 0.61; p<0.001). The association was reduced, but remained significant, after further adjustment for conization, surgical approach, and use of manipulator surgery (HR=0.48; 95% CI 0.30 to 0.75; p=0.001) and adjustment for adjuvant therapy (HR=0.47; 95% CI 0.30 to 0.74; p=0.001). Risk of death from disease was significantly lower in women operated on at centers with high adherence to quality indicators (HR=0.43; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.97; p=0.041). However, the association was not significant after adjustment for conization, surgical approach, use of manipulator surgery, and adjuvant t

- Abstract
Objective: Based on the SUCCOR study database, our primary objective was to identify the independent clinical pathological variables associated with the risk of relapse in patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer who underwent a radical hysterectomy. Our secondary goal was to design and validate a risk predictive index (RPI) for classifying patients depending on the risk of recurrence. Methods: Overall, 1116 women were included from January 2013 to December 2014. We randomly divided our sample into two cohorts: discovery and validation cohorts. The test group was used to identify the independent variables associated with relapse, and with these variables, we designed our RPI. The index was applied to calculate a relapse risk score for each participant in the validation group. Results: A previous cone biopsy was the most significant independent variable that lowered the rate of relapse (odds ratio [OR] 0.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17–0.60). Additionally, patients with a tumor diameter >2 cm on preoperative imaging assessment (OR 2.15, 95% CI 1.33–3.5) and operated by the minimally invasive approach (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.00–2.57) were more likely to have a recurrence. Based on these findings, patients in the validation cohort were classified according to the RPI of low, medium, or high risk of relapse, with rates of 3.4%, 9.8%, and 21.3% observed in each group, respectively. With a median follow-up of 58 months, the 5-year disease-free survival rates were 97.2% for the low-risk group, 88.0% for the medium-risk group, and 80.5% for the high-risk group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Previous conization to radical hysterectomy was the most powerful protective variable of relapse. Our risk predictor index was validated to identify patients at risk of recurrence.

- Abstract
Item does not contain fulltext, OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether compliance with European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) surgery quality indicators impacts disease-free survival in patients undergoing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, 15 ESGO quality indicators were assessed in the SUCCOR database (patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage 2009 IB1, FIGO 2018 IB1, and IB2 cervical cancer between January 2013 and December 2014), and the final score ranged between 0 and 16 points. Centers with more than 13 points were classified as high-quality indicator compliance centers. We constructed a weighted cohort using inverse probability weighting to adjust for the variables. We compared disease-free survival and overall survival using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis in the weighted cohort. RESULTS: A total of 838 patients were included in the study. The mean number of quality indicators compliance in this cohort was 13.6 (SD 1.45). A total of 479 (57.2%) patients were operated on at high compliance centers and 359 (42.8%) patients at low compliance centers. High compliance centers performed more open surgeries (58.4% vs 36.7%, p<0.01). Women who were operated on at centers with high compliance with quality indicators had a significantly lower risk of relapse (HR=0.39; 95% CI 0.25 to 0.61; p<0.001). The association was reduced, but remained significant, after further adjustment for conization, surgical approach, and use of manipulator surgery (HR=0.48; 95% CI 0.30 to 0.75; p=0.001) and adjustment for adjuvant therapy (HR=0.47; 95% CI 0.30 to 0.74; p=0.001). Risk of death from disease was significantly lower in women operated on at centers with high adherence to quality indicators (HR=0.43; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.97; p=0.041). However, the association was not significant after adjustment for conization, surgical approach, use of manipulator surgery, and adjuvant ther

ObjectiveTo evaluate disease-free survival of cervical conization prior to radical hysterectomy in patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009).MethodsA multicenter retrospective observational cohort study was conducted including patients from the Surgery in Cervical Cancer Comparing Different Surgical Aproaches in Stage IB1 Cervical Cancer (SUCCOR) database with FIGO 2009 IB1 cervical carcinoma treated with radical hysterectomy between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2014. We used propensity score matching to minimize the potential allocation biases arising from the retrospective design. Patients who underwent conization but were similar for other measured characteristics were matched 1:1 to patients from the non-cone group using a caliper width ≤0.2 standard deviations of the logit odds of the estimated propensity score.ResultsWe obtained a weighted cohort of 374 patients (187 patients with prior conization and 187 non-conization patients). We found a 65% reduction in the risk of relapse for patients who had cervical conization prior to radical hysterectomy (hazard ratio (HR) 0.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16 to 0.75, p=0.007) and a 75% reduction in the risk of death for the same sample (HR 0.25, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.90, p=0.033). In addition, patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery without prior conization had a 5.63 times higher chance of relapse compared with those who had an open approach and previous conization (HR 5.63, 95% CI 1.64 to 19.3, p=0.006). Patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery with prior conization and those who underwent open surgery without prior conization showed no differences in relapse rates compared with those who underwent open surgery with prior cone biopsy (reference) (HR 1.94, 95% CI 0.49 to 7.76, p=0.349 and HR 2.94, 95% CI 0.80 to 10.86, p=0.106 respectively).ConclusionsIn this retrospective study, patients undergoing cervical conization before radical hysterectomy had a significantly lower risk of relapse and death.

- Abstract
Panniculectomy combined with gynaecological surgery constitutes an alternative approach for endometrial cancer (EC) in obese patients. The present study aimed to assess the current knowledge concerning the safety and efficacy of combining panniculectomy in surgical management of EC. Four electronic databases were systematically searched for articles published up to May 2019. A total of five studies, of which two were noncomparative and three comparative, were included. Meta-analysis of complications among panniculectomy and conventional laparotomy group revealed no difference in either intra-or post-operative complication rates. Moreover, no difference was reported in surgical site complications (p=0.59), while wound breakdown rates were significantly elevated in the laparotomy group (p=0.02). Panniculectomy combined surgery for the management of EC appears to be a safe procedure and results in comparable outcomes compared with conventional laparotomy with regard to complications and improved wound breakdown rates.

Background. A sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva is a very rare malignancy of the female genital tract. It has been characterized as an aggressive disease typically associated with early development of local recurrences as well as distant metastases. Case. A 77-year old woman presented to our hospital with an aggravated vulvar mass, complaining about pruritus and pain. The patient underwent a radical vulvectomy with bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection and bilateral pelvic lymph node sampling. The histopathologic examination was consistent with a sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva with an identical microscopic and immunohistochemical appearance. The FIGO stage was IB and further management was decided to be radiotherapy. Conclusion. A sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma is a rare entity with an aggressive biological behavior. To date, there have been only a few cases of the disease reported in the literature. Therefore a more systematic collection and closer study of such cases would be helpful for achieving an early diagnosis and more effective therapeutic strategies in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This is a new case of Merkel cell carcinoma of the vulva. It is a rare neuroendocrine carcinoma with an aggressive behavior. Because of its rarity in this location, it is not clear whether it behaves differently from the usual neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin. A case of a 63-year-old patient with vulvar Merkel carcinoma is presented. The clinical presentation, microscopic and immunohistochemical features, and treatment are discussed.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Malignant mixed Mullerian tumours (MMMTs) of the uterus and adnexa represent aggressive gynaecologic malignancies with a high rate of loco-regional and distant failure. For that reason, we evaluated the paclitaxel-ifosfamide-carboplatin (TICb) combination in patients with advanced MMMTs. METHODS: Female patients with advanced MMMTs, WHO-PS 0-2, no prior chemotherapy for systemic disease, unimpaired haemopoietic and organ function were eligible. Chemotherapy was administered at the following doses; paclitaxel: 175 mg m(-2) on day 1, ifosfamide: 2.0 g m(-2) day(-1) - days 1 and 2, and carboplatin at a target area under the curve 5 on day 2, with prophylactic G-CSF from day 3. RESULTS: Forty patients of a median age 61 (45-72) years, performance status 0-2 with advanced MMMTs of the uterus (n = 34), tubes (n = 2) or ovary (n = 4) have entered and all were evaluable for response and toxicity. Responses were as follows: 27 out of 40 (67.5%) evaluable patients responded, with 11 complete responses and 16 partial responses, while 10 had stable disease, and 3 developed progressive disease. The median response duration was 9 months (range, 4-40 months), median progression-free survival 13 months (range, 3-42 months), while median overall survival 18 months (range, 4-48 months). Grade 3/4 neutropenia was recorded in 22 out of 40 (55%) - with 13 developing grade 4 (

Background: Endometrial brush cytology is a widely accepted method for the detection of endometrial lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of cytological sampling using Uterobrush in the screening of endometrial pathology. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective double-blind study evaluating the efficacy of the Utero brush method (Cooper Surgical, Trumbull, USA) in the detection of endometrial abnormalities. Endometrial cytology was performed during the period January 2009 to April 2010 in all symptomatic patients that underwent dilatation and curettage. The collected samples were firstly smeared directly onto a glassslide and consequently into Thin-Prep buffer. Cytologic features were evaluated according to the criteria of Tao. The main objective was to evaluate the efficacy of Uterobrush method comparing the results of cytologic and histopathologic examination. Results: The sample of the study consisted of 100 women aged 55.8 years (range 38-78 years) with recorded data regarding Uterobrush test and classic histologic examination. Fifty-five patients were postmenopausal. A total of 92% of the samplings were performed by trainees. Endometrial carcinoma was cytologically diagnosed in 819 patients, whereas endometrial polyps were diagnosed in 5/34 patients (14.7%). All the patients with simple hyperplasia were correctly diagnosed with the Uterobrush method, whereas the diagnosis of complex hyperplasia with or without atypia was correct in 85.7% and 100% of patients, respectively. Regarding endometrial carcinoma, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 88.9%, 100%, 100% and 98.9%, respectively. On the other hand, regarding endometrial polyps, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 14.7%, 100%, 100% and 69.5%, respectively. Conclusion: Uterobrush is a reliable direct intrauterine sampling for detecting endometrial abnormalities especially endometrial carcinoma and hyperplasia, but not endometrial polyps. It is a well-tolerated, easy to use method, which provides generous endometrial sampling without contamination from the endocervix or the vagina. Anticancer Res

Vorgias, G. Fotiou, S.
- Abstract
Uterine carcinosarcomas are rare and highly aggressive tumours. Although surgery is the cornerstone of treatment, the extent of the procedure remains controversial. We sought to evaluate the available literature data regarding the rationale of lymphadenectomy and its possible impact on survival. A systematic Medline, PubMed and Scopus search with special focus on the publications of the last decade. Carcinosarcomas have similar clinical characteristics and behaviour with grade 3 endometrioid or aggressive variants of uterine adenocarcinoma. All studies have demonstrated that the FIGO stage of disease is the most important prognostic factor, followed by the depth of myometrial invasion, extra-uterine spread and positive peritoneal cytology. Moreover, lymph node involvement will be found in 14-38% of patients undergoing lymphadenectomy. This figure is similar to the one reported for endometrial carcinoma. Therefore, lymphadenectomy is mandatory for staging purposes. Regarding its impact on survival, the majority of studies confirm a significant survival benefit. The possible mechanisms for the improvement of survival from lymphadenectomy include removal of micro-metastatic foci, reduction of recurrence risk (removal of “target tissue”) and mechanical circumvallate of the disease. Given that 5-38% of the patients will experience local recurrence and 30-83% distant metastases, lymphadenectomy reduces the risk of the first and identifies patients in advanced stage that may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, aiming to reduce the second and ultimately improve overall survival. Our review data fully justifies the rationale of lymphadenectomy, which beyond staging information seems to offer a measurable survival benefit.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer represents an aggressive malignancy with a high rate of locoregional and distant failure. Therefore, we evaluated the three-drug combination of paclitaxel-ifosfamide-cisplatin ( TIP). METHODS: Systemic chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced metastatic/relapsed cervical cancer and a World Health Organization ( WHO) performance status ( PS) of 0-2 were eligible. TIP chemotherapy doses were paclitaxel 175 mg m(-2) on day 1, ifosfamide 2.5 g m(-2) on days 1 + 2, and cisplatin 40 mg m(-2) on days 1+2, with prophylactic granulocyte-colony stimulating factor. RESULTS: A total of 42 patients with recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer are evaluable for response and toxicity: median age: 56 (25-74) years; PS: 1 (0-2); histologies-squamous: 35, adenosquamous: 5, and adenocarcinoma: 2. Responses were overall response rate (RR): 62% (95% confidence interval (CI): 47.3-76.7%), with complete response (CR): 26% ( 95% CI: 12.7-39.3%), and partial response (PR): 36% ( 95% CI: 21.5-49.9%). Responses according to the relapse site were overall RR: 32% ( 95% CI: 13.7-50.3%) within previously irradiated pelvis vs 75% (95% CI: 57.7-92.3%) in extra-pelvic sites. Median time to progression (TTP) was 7 (range, 2-34+) months and median overall survival (OS) was 16.5 (range, 3-36+) months. Toxicities included grade 3-4 neutropenia: 83% (21% febrile neutropenia), grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia: 9%, no grade 3 neuropathy (35% grade 2), grade 2 asthenia/fatigue 15%, and no treatment-related deaths. CONCLUSION: TIP is an active regimen with acceptable toxicity in advanced/ relapsed cervical cancer.
