Abstract
INTRODUCTION The standard of care for treating early invasive cervical cancer is radical hysterectomy or radiation alone while chemo-radiation is a definitive treatment for advanced disease. Occasionally, a simple hysterectomy is performed in the cancer cervix and these patients merit adjuvant treatment in view of the high chances of loco-regional recurrences. The aim of the study was to analyze the survival outcome of these patients treated with salvage chemo-radiotherapy and also to determine the prognostic factors affecting survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of all patients with cervical cancer post simple hysterectomy outside and who received salvage treatment in our department between 2014 and 2020 were retrieved. The data regarding clinical, treatment details and survival were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 198 patients were included. Median follow-up duration was 45.5 months. Gross disease and lymphadenopathy were seen in 60% and 28% patients, respectively. The 5-year progression-free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS) was 75% and 76%, respectively. Concurrent chemotherapy alone or in combination with induction chemotherapy using three-drug regimens showed better survival compared to those treated by radiation alone. On multivariate analysis, factors found to be adversely affecting OS and PFS were lymph node (LN) size of more than 2 cm, non-squamous histology, overall treatment time(OTT) of more than 12 weeks and use of non three-drug chemotherapy regimen. CONCLUSION Subtotal hysterectomy results in a higher incidence of local recurrence of disease. Factors that impair the outcome in this sub-group of patients are gross lymphadenopathy, non-squamous histology and prolong OTT.

A propensity score-matched analysis of a nationwide clinical oncology database. Jpn J Clin Oncol 2021; 51:630-638. [PMID: 33395486 DOI: 10.1093/jjco/hyaa251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We used National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result database to assess the role of salvage radiotherapy for women with unanticipated cervical cancer after simple hysterectomy. METHODS Patients with non-metastatic cervical cancer and meeting inclusion criteria were divided into three groups based on treatment strategy: simple hysterectomy, salvage radiotherapy after hysterectomy and radical surgery. Parallel propensity score-matched datasets were established for salvage radiotherapy group vs. simple hysterectomy group (matching ratio 1: 1), and salvage radiotherapy group vs. radical surgery group (matching ratio 1:2). The primary endpoint was the overall survival advantage of salvage radiotherapy over simple hysterectomy or radical surgery within the propensity score-matched datasets. RESULTS In total, 2682 patients were recruited: 647 in the simple hysterectomy group, 564 in the salvage radiotherapy group and 1471 in the radical surgery group. Age, race, histology, grade, FIGO stage, insured and marital status and chemotherapy were comprised in propensity score-matched. Matching resulted in two comparison groups with neglectable differences in most variables, except for black race, FIGO stage III and chemotherapy in first matching. In the matched analysis for salvage radiotherapy vs. simple hysterectomy, the median follow-up time was 39 versus 32 months. In the matched analysis for salvage radiotherapy vs. radical surgery, the median follow-up time was 39 and 41 months, respectively. Salvage radiotherapy (HR 0.53, P = 0.046) significantly improved overall survival compared with simple hysterectomy, while salvage radiotherapy cannot achieve similar overall survival to radical surgery (HR 1.317, P = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS This is the largest study of the effect of salvage radiotherapy on overall survival in patients with unanticipated cervical cancer. Salvage radiotherapy can improve overall survival compared with hysterectomy alone, while cannot achieve comparable survival to radical surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate surgical outcomes and survival outcomes of cervical cancer patients who underwent complementary surgery after an extrafacial hysterectomy METHODS: Patients with cervical cancer, who underwent extrafacial hysterectomy initially and thereafter underwent complementary surgery were reviewed retrospectively. Complementary surgery consisted of radical parametrectomy, proximal vaginectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. RESULTS Twenty patients were evaluated. Histopathologic subtype was squamous cell carcinoma in twelve patients, adenocarcinoma in six patients and adenosquamous carcinoma in two patients. Route of surgery was laparotomy in 19 patients and laparoscopy in one patient. Two patients were staged as stage 1A2, nine were staged as stage 1B1, four were staged as stage 1B2, one was staged as stage 2A1, one was staged as stage 2B and three were staged as stage 3C1. The median tumor size was 16.5 (Range, 4-40) mm. Grade ≥ 3 complications related to surgery occured in 8 (40%) patients. Four of them were managed intraoperatively and recovered problem free. Remaining four (20%) needed reoperation. Pathology reports revealed involvement of parametrium in one (5%) patient, involvement of the proximal vagina in one (5%) patient, matastasis to pelvic lymph nodes in 3 (15%) patients. Five (25%) patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. Consequently, 5-year and 10-year cumulative survival was calculated as 94%. CONCLUSION Complementary surgery and radiotherapy show similar oncologic outcomes in patients with early-stage cervical cancer who had undergone simple hysterectomy initially. Complementary surgery is associated with slightly higher rate of morbidity compared with radiotherapy, however significant proportion of complications can be noticed and repaired intraoperatively.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the predictive value of convenience of rectum dosimetry with Quantitative Analysis of Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (QUANTEC) dose limits, maximum rectum dose (Dmax), total rectal volume (TVrectum), rectal volume included in PTV (VrectumPTV) on Grade 2-3 acute rectal toxicity for utilization in clinical practice. Background Numerous previous data have reported frequent acute proctitis after external-beam RT of prostate cancer. Predicting toxicity limited with dose information is inadequate in clinical practice due to comorbidities and medications used. Materials and Method Sixty-four non-metastatic prostate cancer patients treated with IMRT were enrolled. Patients were treated to a total dose of 70-76 Gy. Rectal dose volume histograms (DVH) of all patients were evaluated retrospectively, and a QUANTEC Score between 0 and 5 was calculated for each patient. The correlation between the rectal DVH data, QUANTEC score, TVrectum, VrectumPTV, rectum Dmax and Grade 2-3 rectal toxicity was investigated. Results In the whole group grade 1, 2 and 3 acute rectal toxicities were 25%, 18.8% and 3.1%, respectively. In the DVH data, rectum doses of all patients were under RTOG dose limits. Statistically significant correlation was found between grade 2-3 rectal toxicity and TVrectum (p = 0,043); however. It was not correlated with QUANTEC score, VrectumPTV and Dmax. Conclusion Our results were not able to show any significant correlation between increasing convenience with QUANTEC limits and lower rectal toxicity. Conclusively, new dosimetric definitions are warranted to predict acute rectal toxicity more accurately in prostate cancer patients during IMRT treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the proportion of women with undiagnosed cervical carcinoma before simple hysterectomy and its causes and to compare the oncologic outcomes of women diagnosed and treated with standard therapy to those undergoing inadvertent simple hysterectomy with subsequent treatment. METHODS Medical records were reviewed for patients with cervical carcinoma who underwent hysterectomy between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2014. Demographic data, chemotherapeutic agents, and response rates were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The categorical variables were compared using chi-square or Fisher's exact test. The continuous data were compared using the independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test, as appropriate. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the survival outcomes. RESULTS Of the 526 patients with cervical carcinoma who underwent hysterectomy, 57 patients (10.8%) were diagnosed with cervical carcinoma after simple hysterectomy. After excluding 121 patients with invasion of <3 mm and without lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), 353 patients were preoperatively diagnosed with cervical carcinoma stage IA1 with LVSI to IIA and underwent proper surgical treatment. Fifty-two patients were encountered for inadvertent hysterectomy. Forty-four of 52 patients in the inadvertent hysterectomy group consented to subsequent treatment, with 43 patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy and one undergoing additional surgery. The median time before subsequent treatment initiation was 1.6 months [0.5-9.2 months]. The 5-year DFS rates of the standard surgical treatment group and inadvertent hysterectomy group were 88.4% vs. 93.2%, respectively (P = 0.147). The 5-year OS rates of the standard surgical treatment group and the inadvertent hysterectomy group were 98.9% vs. 100%, respectively (P = 0.767). CONCLUSIONS Women with cervical carcinoma who had small tumors and underwent inadvertent simple hysterectomy with appropriate consequent management had oncologic outcomes comparable to those in the standard surgical treatment group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study is to identify predictive factors in patients with a diagnosis of early-stage cervical cancer after simple hysterectomy in order to avoid a radical parametrectomy. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of all patients who underwent radical parametrectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy at MD Anderson Cancer Center and at the Instituto de Cancerologia Las Americas in Medellin, Colombia from December 1999 to September 2017. We sought to determine the outcomes in patients diagnosed with low-risk factors (squamous, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous lesions<2cm in size, and invading<10mm) undergoing radical parametrectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. RESULTS A total of 30 patients were included in the study. The median age was 40.4years (range; 26-60) and median body mass index (BMI) was 26.4kg/m2 (range; 17.7-40.0). A total 22 patients had tumors<1cm and 8 had tumors between 1 and 2cm. A total of 6 (33%) of 18 patients had evidence of lymph-vascular invasion (LVSI). No radical parametrectomy specimen had residual tumor, involvement of the parametrium, vaginal margin positivity, or lymph node metastasis. None of the patients received adjuvant therapy. After a median follow-up of 99months (range; 6-160) only one patient recurred. CONCLUSION Radical parametrectomy may be avoided in patients with low-risk early-stage cervical cancer detected after a simple hysterectomy. Rates of residual disease (parametrial or vaginal) and the need for adjuvant treatments or recurrences are very low.

Abstract
Cervical carcinoma is the third-most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the metastasis of cervical cancer are still unclear. Oligonucleotide microarrays coupled with bioinformatics analysis show that cytoskeletal remodeling and epithelial-to- mesenchymal transition (EMT) are significant pathways in clinical specimens of cervical cancer. In accord with clinical observations demonstrating ectopic expression of lipocalin 2 (LCN2), an oncogenic protein associated with EMT, in malignant tumors, was significantly upregulated in cervical cancer and correlated with lymph node metastasis. Overexpression of LCN2 enhanced tumor cell migration and invasion both in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, knockdown or neutralization of LCN2 reduced tumor cell migration and invasion. LCN2-induced migration was stimulated by activation of the EMT-associated proteins, Snail, Twist, N-cadherin, fibronectin, and MMP-9. Our findings collectively support a potential role of LCN2 in cancer cell invasion through the EMT pathway and suggest that LCN2 could be effectively utilized as a lymph node metastasis marker in cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment for early-invasive adenocarcinoma of the cervix remains controversial. Although data have shown similar survival rates to those seen with squamous cell carcinoma, conservative options for patients with microinvasive adenocarcinoma have not been as widely accepted. Despite comparable survival outcomes, patients with early-invasive adenocarcinoma are still routinely subjected to more radical surgical techniques than their equivalently staged squamous cell counterparts. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate how less radical surgery has an impact on 5 year survival in patients with microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the cervix. STUDY DESIGN The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was queried from 1988 through 2010 to perform a retrospective analysis of women with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IA1 or IA2 cervical carcinoma. Five year survival by procedure type (local excision, simple hysterectomy, or radical hysterectomy) was determined for each cell type (squamous or adenocarcinoma), as was lymph node status. RESULTS Among 1567 patients with cervical adenocarcinoma, 5 year survival was 97.3% (confidence interval, 95.8-98.2%) for stage IA1 disease and 98.3% (confidence interval, 96.5%, 99.2%) for stage IA2. For comparison, the 5-year survival rates for 5,749 patients with stage IAI or lA2 squamous cell carcinoma were 96.7% (confidence interval, 96.0-97.3%) and 95.6% (confidence interval, 94.4-96.5%), respectively. For stage IA1 ACA, survival was 96.6%, 98.4% and 96.5% following excision, hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy, respectively. For stage IA2 ACA, survival rates were 100%, 96.9% and 99.4%, respectively. There was no statistical difference in survival between patients having either cell type undergoing local excision (P = .26), simple hysterectomy (P = .08), or radical hysterectomy (P = .87). We also found no statistically significant difference in survival among patients with adenocarcinoma compared by treatment type (local excision compared with simple hysterectomy [P = .64]; local excision compared with radical hysterectomy [P = .82]; or simple hysterectomy compared with radical hysterectomy [P = .70]). Among patients with adenocarcinoma, 0.97% had positive pelvic lymph nodes, none had positive aortic lymph nodes, and 91.85% had confirmed negative lymph nodes. For squamous cell carcinoma, 0.72% of patients had positive pelvic lymph nodes and 0.10% had positive aortic lymph nodes. CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in survival when patients were compared by cell type or procedure, suggesting that survival of patients with microinvasive adenocarcinoma is not improved by utilizing more invasive surgical methods. Regardless of histology, the frequency of nodal involvement was very low among both groups, supporting an overall excellent prognosis for all patients with microinvasive disease. We submit these data as evidence that preoperative planning of more conservative techniques is appropriate, not just for those with squamous histology or who desire future fertility, but for all patients with microinvasive cervical disease.

Abstract
Background Occult invasive cervical cancer (OICC) is sometimes incidentally found in surgical specimens after a simple hysterectomy (SH). This study was aimed at identifying a subset of patients with OICC who have a favorable prognosis. This patient group may not require adjuvant radiotherapy and other procedures. Methods The medical records of women in whom OICC was detected after an inadvertent SH were retrospectively reviewed. The relevant data, including clinicopathological characteristics, treatment and clinical outcome were evaluated. The primary and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS), respectively. Results Eighty-nine patients who met the inclusion criteria were included for analysis, and the risk of OICC was found to be 1.9 %. Finding an invasive cancer in a hysterectomy specimen after a conization procedure that shows positive margins was the most common reason (41.6 %) for the performance of inadvertent SH. In the univariate analysis, a tumor width > 20 mm, deep stromal invasion, and lymph node metastasis (LNM) were adversely associated with relapse (P < 0.001, < 0.001, and = 0.001, respectively) and survival (P = 0.003, 0.004, and 0.027, respectively), although these parameters were not independently associated with patient prognoses in the multivariate analysis. In patients with a tumor width ≤ 20 mm and superficial stromal invasion in the observation subgroup, the 5-year RFS and 5-year OS were both 100 %, whereas they were 57.1 % and 66.7 %, respectively, in patients with a tumor size > 20 mm and deep stromal invasion in the radiotherapy or chemotherapy subgroup (P < 0.001, and = 0.008, respectively). Conclusions Simple observation after a lymphadenectomy procedure may be feasible in OICC patients with a tumor width ≤ 20 mm, superficial stromal invasion, a negative section margin in hysterectomy specimens, and no LNM.

Choudhary S. Impact of Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Radiotherapy in Patients of Invasive Cervical Carcinoma with Inadvertent Hysterectomy: A Retrospective Study. J Clin Diagn Res 2015; 9:XC01-XC04. [PMID: 26557599 DOI: 10.7860/jcdr/2015/15739.6640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2015] [Accepted: 09/03/2015] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard of care for patients who undergo an inadvertent hysterectomy for invasive cervical carcinoma is not well established. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of induction chemotherapy followed by external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy in patients who had an inadequate hysterectomy for carcinoma of the cervix. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with history of inadequate hysterectomy with no residual disease at presentation to our outpatients department of Radiotherapy and registered between October 2011 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Most of these patients had received three cycles of induction chemotherapy using Paclitaxel and Carboplatin regime. Thereafter, these patients had received external beam radiotherapy and vaginal brachytherapy. The primary end points were overall survival and disease-free survival. Survival analysis was done using Kaplan-Meier method and the differences in survival rates were compared using log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 34 patients were eligible for the study. Overall survival and Disease-free survival at 3-years were 70% and 68%. Patients who had Taxane-based chemotherapy had significantly better survival outcomes than their counterparts. Vaginal vault boost with brachytherapy had a significant impact on prognosis of these patients. CONCLUSION Induction chemotherapy using Paclitaxel and Carboplatin followed by external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy is a good treatment option for patients of carcinoma of the cervix who have undergone inadvertent hysterectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility and surgical outcomes of laparoscopic nerve-sparing radical parametrectomy (LNSRP) and lymphadenectomy for treatment of occult early-stage invasive cervical cancer after simple hysterectomy. METHODS From 2006 to 2010, 28 patients who were discovered to have occult early-stage invasive cervical cancer after a simple hysterectomy underwent LNSRP, upper vaginal resection, and pelvic lymphadenectomy. A retrospective analysis of these cases was performed. RESULTS All patients underwent successful LNSRP. There was no conversion to laparotomy. The mean ± SD operation time was 173.30 ± 56.20 minutes. The mean ± SD estimated blood loss was 230.00 ± 109.55 mL. Two intraoperative complications were recorded. The median number of extracted pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes was 23 (range, 12-36) and 7 (range, 3-15), respectively. The mean ± SD time before Foley catheter removal was 5.6 ± 2.74 days (range, 3-14 days ), and bladder voiding function recovery to grade 0 to grade 1 was observed in 26 patients (92.9%). Of the 28 patients, 3 patients received further adjuvant therapy. The median follow-up period was 38 (range, 4-62) months for all patients. No recurrence case was found in this series. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic nerve-sparing radical parametrectomy is a therapeutic option for occult early-stage invasive cervical cancer discovered after hysterectomy. Nerve-sparing radical surgery in indicated patients may lead to optimal preservation of bladder function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility and morbidity of surgical management by combined laparoscopic and vaginal approach after cervical cancer diagnosed at the time of simple hysterectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 2000 to 2005, 10 patients were referred with occult cervical cancer discovered after simple hysterectomy. All these patients had laparoscopy for surgical staging. RESULTS Eight on ten patients had complete laparoscopic staging: pelvic lymphadenectomy (N=8), radical colpectomy (N=5). Operative time, pelvic lymph nodes resected, postoperative stay were respectively 261.3 minutes (200-400), 27 (23-38), 4.4 days. There were 2 symptomatic lymphocysts. Pelvic lymph nodes were positive for 1 patient with negative paraaortic nodes. Residual disease was present in 2 cases: 1 parametrial and vaginal involvement, 1 ovarian metastasis. 5 patients had adjuvant treatment: 2 combined pelvic external radiotherapy and brachytherapy, 1 pelvic external radiotherapy, 1 pelvic concurrent chemoradiation and 1 brachytherapy only. Two on ten patients needed a laparoconversion, one for ovarian involvement and one for technical failure. With a median follow-up of 29.7 months (4-63), 3 patients recurred. 3 patients recurred above 5 patients with pelvic lymphadenectomy but without parametrectomy versus no recurrence above 5 patients with pelvic lymphadenectomy and parametrectomy. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Surgical staging of occult cervical cancer discovered after simple hysterectomy is necessary for indication of adjuvant treatment. Laparoscopy combined with vaginal surgery is feasible and safe, inducing fewer adhesions which is important for adjuvant radiotherapy. The realization of a radical parametrectomy seems to offer a local control of the disease and a decrease in the risk of recurrence, which need to be confirmed by conducting a study with more patients. This emphasize the necessity of creating a national record to register all women managed for occult cervical cancer.

Proctitis after external-beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer classified by Vienna Rectoscopy Score and correlated with EORTC/RTOG score for late rectal toxicity: results of a prospective multicenter study of 166 patients. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2007; 67:78-83. [PMID: 17189064 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2006.08.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2006] [Revised: 08/02/2006] [Accepted: 08/08/2006] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the Vienna Rectoscopy Score (VRS) as a feasible and effective tool for detecting and classifying pathologic changes in the rectal mucosa after radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer, and, also, to correlate its findings with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)/Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) score for late rectal toxicity. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 486 patients with localized prostate cancer underwent external-beam RT up to 70 or 74 Gy within an Austrian-German prospective multicenter trial. In 166 patients, voluntary rectal sigmoidoscopy was performed before and at 12 and/or 24 months after RT. Pathologic findings such as telangiectasia, congested mucosa, and ulcers were graded (Grades 0-3) and summarized according to the VRS. Late rectal side effects (EORTC/RTOG) were documented and correlated with the corresponding VRS. RESULTS Before RT, 99% had a VRS score of 0. The median follow-up was 40 months. Overall, a late rectal side effects grade or score 1-3 was detected in 43% by EORTC/RTOG compared with 68% by VRS (p < 0.05). Grades 0, 1, 2, and 3 late rectal side effects were found using EORTC/RTOG in 57%, 11%, 28%, and 3%, respectively; the corresponding percentages were 32%, 22%, 32%, and 14% for a VRS of 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. A significant coherence between the VRS and EORTC/RTOG was found (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The VRS is a feasible and effective tool for describing and classifying pathologic findings in the rectal mucosa after RT within a multicenter trial. The VRS and EORTC/RTOG showed a high coherence. However the VRS was significantly more sensitive.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the results of salvage radiotherapy (RT) after inadequate surgery in patients with invasive carcinoma of the cervix. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between 1996 and 2001, 105 invasive cervical carcinoma patients were treated at our center with external beam RT with or without intracavitary RT after having undergone total/subtotal hysterectomy at outside institutions. RESULTS The median follow-up was 34 months. The gap between surgery and RT was 23-198 days (median, 80). Clinically visible residual disease was present in 81 patients (77.1%). Total hysterectomy had been done in 82 patients (78%) and subtotal hysterectomy in 23 patients (22%). The 5-year overall survival, disease-free survival, and pelvic control rates of all patients were 55.2%, 53.3%, and 72.4%, respectively. On univariate analysis, older age, total hysterectomy, hemoglobin level >10 g% before RT, nonsquamous histologic type, use of intracavitary RT, a shorter gap between surgery and RT, and the absence of, or a small volume of, residual disease favorably affected the outcome. The 5-year actuarial rate of late toxicity (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Criteria) was 19% in the rectum, 4.8% in the bladder, 24.8% in the skin, and 14.3% in the small intestine. CONCLUSIONS Inadequate and inappropriate surgery in invasive cervical cancer with resulting gross residual disease is common in India. Factors such as the use of intracavitary RT, the correction of anemia, and a shorter gap between surgery and RT will enable postoperative RT to achieve acceptable results with minimal morbidity.
