ObjectivePatients with early-stage, high-grade neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma typically undergo radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. To explore the role of radical surgery in patients with this disease, who have a high likelihood of undergoing postoperative adjuvant therapy, we aimed to determine the rate of parametrial involvement and the rate of parametrial involvement without other indications for adjuvant treatment in these patients.MethodsWe retrospectively studied patients in the Neuroendocrine Cervical Tumor Registry (NeCTuR) at our institution to identify those with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2018 stage IA1-IB2, high-grade neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma who underwent up-front radical surgery with or without adjuvant therapy.ResultsOne hundred patients met the inclusion criteria. The median age was 35 years (range 22–65), and 51% (51/100) had pure high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. No patient had a tumor >4 cm or suspected parametrial or nodal disease before surgery. Ten patients (10%) had microscopic parametrial compromise in the final surgical specimens. Ninety-four (94%) patients underwent nodal assessment, and 19 (19%) had positive nodes. Ten patients underwent both sentinel lymph node biopsy and pelvic lymphadenectomy, and none had false-negative findings. Patients with parametrial compromise were more likely to have positive pelvic nodes (80% vs 12%, p<0.0001), and a positive vaginal margin (20% vs 1%, p=0.03). All patients with parametrial compromise had lymphovascular space invasion (100% vs 73%, p=0.10). Of the 100 patients, 95 (95%) were recommended adjuvant therapy and 89 (89%) were known to have received it. Adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy reduced the likelihood of local recurrence by 62%.ConclusionsIn carefully selected patients with high-grade neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma, the rate of microscopic parametrial involvement is 10%. As most patients receive adjuvant treatment, we hypothesize that simple hysterectomy may be adequate when followed by adjuvant radiotherapy with concurrent cisplatin and etoposide followed by additional chemotherapy.

e18035 Background: Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) is a rare tumor with limited therapeutic options and no clearly established best treatment sequence strategy. Methods: Women with ULMS between 2013-2018 were identified. Clinical data was collected; descriptive statistics were performed and predictors of overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were analyzed. Results: 189 patients were included. Median age was 53 (20-84), 91% had grade 3 tumors and 51.3% had stage IB disease. 50% underwent surgery followed by chemotherapy (n = 94, 49.7%) and 37% had surgery only (n = 70). 49 patients retained their ovaries; there was no difference in OS by oophorectomy status (p = 0.71). Estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER/PR) status, positive in 41% and 33% respectively, was not independently associated with OS (p = 0.23, p = 0.12) nor did it impact OS among those with oophorectomy and without (p = 0.70). The most common adjuvant therapy regimens were gemcitabine/docetaxel (gem/doce, 64%) or ifosphamide/doxorubicin (ifos/doxo, 19%). There were no differences in the regimens prescribed by physician specialty (gynecologic oncology vs other, p = 0.21). 147 patients (78%) experienced a recurrence or progression. For the 73 patients who received gem/doce as adjuvant therapy, 58.9% recurred and were most commonly treated with doxo containing regimens (67%). Of the 22 patients treated with ifos/doxo, only 3 recurred and each received a different second line regimen. For those not treated with adjuvant therapy (70 patients), 58.2% recurred and were treated with gem/doce (62%) and ifos/doxo (24%). In early stage patients, the majority received surgery only (45%) or surgery followed by chemotherapy (44%). There was no difference in OS in those who received adjuvant therapy and those who did not (p = 0.39). 46 (24%) had molecular testing and 37 had identified mutations. The most common mutation found was P53 (n = 25, 54%) followed by RB1 (8, 17%), PTEN (7, 15%), and BRCA (2, 4%). Conclusions: Recurrence occurred in 78% of patient despite many women undergoing adjuvant therapy after surgery. Oophorectomy did not influence OS, even though 41% of tumors were ER positive. The sequence of treatment was not associated with OS, however, the risk for recurrence in patient treated with adjuvant Ifos/Doxo was 14% compared to 59% in gem/doce. This finding warrants additional evaluation to determine the optimal adjuvant therapy for these women.
