Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare clinical and pathologic variables and prognosis of FIGO stage IB adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix.MethodsA retrospective review was performed of 521 patients with stage IB squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of cervix who treated primarily by type 3 hysterectomy and pelvic and/or para-aortic lymphadenectomy at Hacettepe University Hospitals between 1980 and 1997.ResultsAge, tumor size, grade, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, parametrial, vaginal, and lymphvascular space involvement (LVSI) were not different between two cell types except number of the lymph nodes involved. Metastasis to three or more lymph nodes was significantly higher in adenocarcinoma. Overall and disease-free survival were 87.7%, 84.0% versus 86.4%, 83.1% for squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, respectively (P > 0.05). The rate and site of recurrence were not different between two cell types. Multivariate analysis of disease-free and overall survival revealed independent prognostic factors as tumor size, LVSI, number of involved lymph node, and vaginal involvement.ConclusionPrognosis of FIGO stage IB cervical cancer patients who were treated by primarily radical surgery was found to be same for those with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract Background We investigated the expression and clinical significance of miR-141 and miR-340 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). Methods Expression of miR-141 and miR-340 in CSCC, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and normal cervical squamous epithelium were detected by qRT-PCR. PTEN was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Their relationship with clinicopathological features was analyzed. Results The changes of miR-141 and miR-340 were different in CSCC, HSIL, and normal squamous epithelium (P = 0.030). miR-141 expression was statistically significant in gross type, differentiation, uterine corpus invasion, nerve invasion, vagina invasion, and FIGO stage in CSCC (P < 0.05). miR-340 expression was related to tumor size, differentiation, nerve invasion, lymph node metastasis, and FIGO stage in CSCC (P < 0.05). miR-141 and miR-340 expressions were statistically significant in different ages (P < 0.05) in HSIL. The AUC of miR-141 in CSCC diagnosis and that of miR-340 in HSIL diagnosis were 0.893 and 0.764, respectively. The sensitivity and the specificity of miR-141 for diagnosis of CSCC were 95.0% and 60.8%, respectively, while those of miR-340 for diagnosis of HSIL were 90.0 and 48.6%, respectively. miR-141 and miR-340 expressions are associated with PTEN expression (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001). Conclusion miR-141 and miR-340 may be associated with their target gene PTEN and involved in the carcinogenesis of cervical squamous epithelium.

Abstract.Brenna SMF, Zeferino LC, Pinto GA, Souza RA, Andrade LAL, Vassalo J, Martinez EZ, Syrjänen KJ. P53 expression as a predictor of recurrence in cervical squamous cell carcinoma.P53 protein function is frequently down-regulated in cervical cancer by complexing with human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 protein, leading to degradation of p53, genomic instability, and mutations. Results are controversial, however, on the prognostic value of p53 protein expression in cervical cancer. In this study, a cohort of 220 Brazilian women with FIGO stage IB-III cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), followed for 5 years, was analyzed for p53 protein expression using immunohistochemistry. The disease-free survival (DFS) and relapse rate were analyzed using univariate (Kaplan-Meier) and multivariable (Cox's proportional hazards model) survival analyses. P53 protein expression was detected in 35% of the patients, including 21% in stage I, 28% in stage II and 51% in stage III of disease. Of 220 women, only 116 completed one of the treatment options standardized by FIGO within 120 days. There was a higher risk of relapse in stage II and III disease, that was not modified by p53 positivity; HR 3.0 (1.3–6.5) to stage II and HR 4.0 (1.9–8.5) to stage III. The multivariate analysis evidenced that p53 expression is not an independent factor exceeding the power of FIGO stage as the single most important determinant of the hazards for disease relapse.

e15568 Background: Current standard treatment for Stage IB/II/III Japanese squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is esophagectomy after two courses preoperative chemotherapy with 5-FU/CDDP. Prognosis of cases in which preoperative chemotherapy was successful is usually good, but some cases were recurrence. On the other hand, some reports showed that the negative survival impact of infectious complications after esophagectomy is canceled out by succeeding preoperative chemotherapy. So we evaluate of prognostic factors after esophagectomy in which preoperative chemotherapy was successful. Methods: Between 2011 and 2015, 122 cases were performed esophagectomy after two courses of preoperative chemotherapy using 5-FU/CDDP for stage IB / II / III esophageal cancer, and 46 cases were achieved Grade 2 histopathological effect(2/3 or more disappearance of tumor). We examined 3-year survival rate and 3-year RFS in this 46 cases and examined what could be a prognostic factor. PS, ASA, sex, operation time, volume of bleeding , postoperative complications(C-D classification≧G2), pT, pN, tumor wall retentivity, preoperative nutritional status(Albumin, CRP, Prealbumin, RBP), nutritional indicators at discharge (weight change rate, fat mass change rate, muscle mass change rate) were evaluated as recurrence prediction factor. Results: 3-year OS of histological Grade2 cases were 84.5%, and 3 -year RFS were 88.8%. In 46 cases, relapse was found in 12 cases, and univariate analysis showed pT, pN as a risk of relapse, and multivariate analysis showed only pT as a risk of relapse. There were 5 cases of recurrence within 1 year after esophagectomy, and there was a significantly poor prognosis compared with recurrent cases later than 1 year after esophagectomy. Conclusions: The risk factor of recurrence in patients with squamous cell carcinoma after preoperative chemotherapy followed by esophagectomy was pathological T factor, and recurrent case within 1 year after esophagectomy was significantly poor prognosis.
