Early response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy can help predict long-term survival in patients with cervical cancer. Oncotarget 2018; 7:87485-87495. [PMID: 27557523 PMCID: PMC5350004 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.11460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2016] [Accepted: 08/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
It is still controversial whether cervical cancer patients with clinical responses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) have a better long-term survival or not. This study was designed to investigate the effect of the clinical response on the disease-free survival (DFS) of cervical cancer patients undergoing NACT. A total of 853 patients from a retrospective study were used to evaluate whether the clinical response was an indicator for the long-term response, and 493 patients from a prospective cohort study were used for further evaluation. The survival difference was detected by log-rank test, univariate and multivariate Cox regression and a pooled analysis. The log-rank test revealed that compared with non-responders, the DFS of responders was significantly higher in the retrospective data (P = 0.007). Univariate Cox regression showed that the clinical response was an indicator of long-term survival in the retrospective study (HR 1.83, 95% CI 1.18-2.85, P = 0.007). In a multivariate Cox model, the clinical response was still retained as an independent significant prognostic factor in the retrospective study (HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.01-2.50, P = 0.046). The result was also validated in the prospective data with similar results. These findings implied that the clinical response can be regarded as an independent predictor of DFS.

The detection of sentinel lymph nodes in laparoscopic surgery for uterine cervical cancer using 99m-technetium-tin colloid, indocyanine green, and blue dye. J Gynecol Oncol 2016; 28:e13. [PMID: 27894166 PMCID: PMC5323283 DOI: 10.3802/jgo.2017.28.e13] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2016] [Revised: 09/28/2016] [Accepted: 10/21/2016] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine the feasibility and detection rates and clarify the most effective combination of injected tracer types for sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in uterine cervical cancer in patients who have undergone laparoscopic surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). METHODS A total of 119 patients with cervical cancer underwent SLN biopsy at radical hysterectomy using three types of tracers. The various factors related to side-specific detection rate, sensitivity, and false negative (FN) rate were analyzed. RESULTS The SLN detection rates using 99m-technetium ((99m)Tc)-tin colloid, indigo carmine, and indocyanine green (ICG) were 85.8%, 20.2%, and 61.6%, respectively. The patients with ≥2-cm-diameter tumors and those who received NAC had lower detection rates than those with <2-cm-diameter tumors (75.7% vs. 91.5%, p<0.01) and those who did not receive NAC (67.9% vs. 86.3%, p<0.01), respectively. Laparoscopic procedures had a higher detection rate than laparotomy (100.0% vs. 77.1%, p<0.01). No factors significantly affected the sensitivity; however, the patients with ≥2-cm-diameter tumors (86.0% vs. 1.4%, p<0.01), NAC (19.4% vs. 2.2%, p<0.01), and those who underwent laparotomy (7.4% vs. 0%, p<0.01) had an unfavorable FN rate. CONCLUSION Among the examined tracers, (99m)Tc had the highest detection of SLN mapping in patients with uterine cervical cancer. Patients with local advanced cervical cancer with/without NAC treatment might be unsuited for SLN mapping. SLN mapping is feasible and results in an excellent detection rate in patients with <2-cm-diameter cervical cancer. Laparoscopic surgery is the best procedure for SLN detection in patients with early-stage disease.

The efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in different histological types of cervical cancer. Gynecol Oncol 2014; 134:419-25. [PMID: 24918866 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2014.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2014] [Revised: 05/29/2014] [Accepted: 06/01/2014] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is different among cervical cancer types, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and non-SCC, including adenocarcinoma of the cervix (ACC) and adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC). METHODS We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Springerlink and CNKI for studies published between Jan 1987 and Sep 2012 and evaluated the studies published in English and Chinese on NACT and cervical carcinoma based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Because there was a relative lack of relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we included 2 RCTs and 9 observational studies in our analysis. Meta-analysis was applied to calculate the efficacy of NACT in different histological types of cervical cancer with 95% confidence intervals. The risk of bias was assessed by Begg's adjusted rank correlation test and Egger's regression asymmetry tests. RESULTS As many as 11 articles, 2 RCTs and 9 observational studies, were selected according to the eligibility criteria for a total of 1559 participants. For the short-term efficacy of NACT, either in terms of CR+PR or CR only, there was no difference between SCC and non-SCC when the data were pooled (P>0.05) in stratified studies based on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (P>0.05) or histological type (P>0.05) or in observational studies (P>0.05). Nevertheless, SCC was associated with a higher short-term response rate than non-SCC in RCTs [6.57 (95%CI 1.72-25.12) in CR+PR]. For the long-term outcome of NACT, patients with SCC experienced a significant 5-year overall survival (OS) and progress-free survival (PFS) when compared to patients with non-SCC in pooled [1.47 (95%CI 1.06-2.06)] and observational studies [1.96 (95%CI 1.61-2.38)] other than RCTs (P>0.05). Moreover, this difference was especially obvious when the subgroup analysis was restricted to patients in stages above IIB [2.06 (95%CI 1.79-2.36)] rather than in stages IB-IIB [1.33 (95%CI 0.99-1.79)]. CONCLUSION Although no significant differences exist in the short-term efficacy of NACT, the histological type may be used to predict the long-term efficacy of NACT in patients with cervical cancer, especially those with FIGO stages above IIB.
