The Impact

ObjectiveTo date, there is no convincing evidence comparing the impact of combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy with chemotherapy alone in postoperative uterine serous carcinoma (USC), which remains an unclear issue. We conducted a meta-analysis assessing the impact of combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone on overall survival in postoperative USC.MethodsA comprehensive search was performed in the databases of EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from inception to March 2016. Studies comparing survival among patients who underwent combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone after surgery for USC were included. Quality assessments were carried out by the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Hazard ratio (HR) for overall survival was extracted, and a random-effects model was used for pooled analysis. Publication bias was assessed using both funnel plot and the Egger regression test. Statistical analyses were performed using Stata version 13.0 software.ResultNine retrospective studies with relatively high quality containing 9354 patients were included for the final meta-analysis. The pooled results demonstrated that combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy significantly reduced the risk of death (HR, 0.72; P < 0.0001) compared to chemotherapy alone with a low heterogeneity (I2 = 21.0%, P = 0.256). Subgroup analyses indicated that calculating HR by unadjusted method may cause the heterogeneity among studies. Exploratory analyses showed that either patients with early stage disease (HR, 0.73; P = 0.011) or advanced stage disease (HR, 0.80; P < 0.0001) have survival benefits from combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy. No significant evidence of publication bias was found.ConclusionsThis is the first meta-analysis examining the role of combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone in USC. Our results suggest the potential survival benefits of combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Further studies, preferably randomized clinical trials, are needed to confirm our results.

Over Time

ObjectiveThe objectives of this study were to evaluate the rates of chemotherapy and radiotherapy delivery in the treatment of uterine serous carcinoma in the Medicare population and to compare clinical outcomes in treated and untreated patients.MethodsThe linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results and Medicare databases were queried to identify patients with a diagnosis of uterine serous carcinoma between 1992 and 2009. The impact of chemotherapy on survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors predictive of outcome were compared using the Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsA total of 2188 patients met study eligibility criteria. Stages I, II, III, and IV diseases accounted for 890 (41%), 174 (8%), 470 (21%), and 654 (30%) of the study population, respectively. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, both, or none, were administered as adjuvant therapy in 635 (29%), 536 (24%), 308 (14%), and 709 (32%) of the study population, respectively. Use of chemotherapy became more frequent over time. Over the study period, and after adjusting for race, time of diagnosis, SEER registry, marital status, stage, age, surgery, lymph node dissection, socioeconomic status, and comorbidity index, there was an association between receipt of radiotherapy alone (hazard ratio [HR], 1.3; 95% CI, 1.04–1.67) and not receiving any treatment (HR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.2–2.01) and worst survival. Survival was not improved over time.ConclusionAlthough adjuvant chemotherapy and combination treatment with chemotherapy and radiation were associated with improved survival in our model, there was no significant improvement in survival over time.
