Abstract Background To explore the factors that affect the prognosis of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with stage IIIC1 cervical cancer and establish nomogram models to predict this prognosis. Methods Data from patients in the Surveil-lance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) programme meeting the inclusion criteria were classified into a training group, and validation data were obtained from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from 2010 to 2019. The incidence, Kaplan-Meier curves, OS and CSS of patients with stage IIIC1 cervical cancer in the training group were evaluated. Nomograms were established according to the results of univariate and multivariate Cox regression models. Harrell’s C-index, calibration plots, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and decision-curve analysis (DCA) were calculated to validate the prediction models. Results The incidence of pelvic lymph node metastasis, a high-risk factor for the prognosis of cervical cancer, decreased slightly over time. Eight independent prognostic variables were identified for OS, including age, race, marriage status, histology, extension range, tumour size, radiotherapy and surgery, but only seven were identified for CSS, with marriage status excluded. Nomograms of OS and CSS were established based on the results. The C-indexes for the nomograms of OS and CSS were 0.687 and 0.692, respectively, using random sampling of SEER data sets and 0.701 and 0.735, respectively, using random sampling of external data sets. The AUCs for the nomogram of OS were 0.708 and 0.705 for the SEER data sets and 0.750 and 0.750 for the external data sets, respectively. In addition, AUCs of 0.707 and 0.709 were obtained for the nomogram of CSS when validated using SEER data sets, and 0.788 and 0.785 when validated using external data sets. Calibration plots for the nomograms were almost identical to the actual observations. The DCA also indicated the value of the two models. Conclusions Eight independent prognostic variables were identified for OS. The same factors predicted CSS, with the exception of the marriage status. Both OS and CSS nomograms had good predictive and clinical application value after validation. Notably, tumour size had the largest contribution to the OS and CSS nomograms.

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.

IntroductionComprehensive updated information on cervical cancer surgical treatment in Europe is scarce.ObjectiveTo evaluate baseline characteristics of women with early cervical cancer and to analyze the outcomes of the ESGO quality indicators after radical hysterectomy in the SUCCOR database.MethodsThe SUCCOR database consisted of 1272 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for stage IB1 cervical cancer (FIGO 2009) between January 2013 and December 2014. After exclusion criteria, the final sample included 1156 patients. This study first described the clinical, surgical, pathological, and follow-up variables of this population and then analyzed the outcomes (disease-free survival and overall survival) after radical hysterectomy. Surgical-related ESGO quality indicators were assessed and the accomplishment of the stated recommendations was verified.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 47.1 years (SD 10.8), with a mean body mass index of 25.4 kg/m2 (SD 4.9). A total of 423 (36.6%) patients had a previous cone biopsy. Tumor size (clinical examination) <2 cm was observed in 667 (57.7%) patients. The most frequent histology type was squamous carcinoma (794 (68.7%) patients), and positive lymph nodes were found in 143 (12.4%) patients. A total of 633 (54.8%) patients were operated by open abdominal surgery. Intra-operative complications occurred in 108 (9.3%) patients, and post-operative complications during the first month occurred in 249 (21.5%) patients, with bladder dysfunction as the most frequent event (119 (10.3%) patients). Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complication occurred in 56 (4.8%) patients. A total of 510 (44.1%) patients received adjuvant therapy. After a median follow-up of 58 months (range 0–84), the 5-year disease-free survival was 88.3%, and the overall survival was 94.9%. In our population, 10 of the 11 surgical-related quality indicators currently recommended by ESGO were fully fulfilled 5 years before its implementation.ConclusionsIn this European cohort, the rate of adjuvant therapy after radical hysterectomy is higher than for most similar patients reported in the literature. The majority of centers were already following the European recommendations even 5 years prior to the ESGO quality indicator implementations.

e17502 Background: Glassy cell carcinoma of cervix (GCCC) is a rare histological subtype of cervical cancer which has historically been associated with rapidly progressive disease, early development of metastases and overall poor prognosis. We attempt to define real-world trends in GCCC in the United States based on data from SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) database. Methods: We extracted data from the US National Cancer Institute's SEER 2018 dataset using ICD-O code for ‘Cervix Uteri Glassy Cell Carcinoma’. All patients who were diagnosed between 1973-2015 were included. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 26. Kaplan Meier curve was used for survival analysis. Results: Data for a total of 57 patients with GCCC was available from 1975 to 2017. Median age at diagnosis was 38 years (range 30.5-44.5). Increased frequency of cases was noted in white females (77.2%) as compared to black population (22.2%). Most cases initially presented with localized or regional spread (47.4% and 40.4% respectively) with distant metastasis seen in only 10.5% patients. Data analysis revealed that 63.2% patients had Grade III poorly differentiated carcinoma, 66.7% received radiation therapy, 57.9% underwent chemotherapy and 59.6% had cancer direceted surgery performed. Calculated mean overall survival was 121.9 months. We were unable to calculate 5 year and 10 year median overall survival due to small sample size and censored data. Conclusions: GCCC is a rare histologic type of cervical cancer that presents at a younger age, is more frequently seen in white females and is commonly associated with localized or regional spread at time of initial presentation.[Table: see text]

e17505 Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate data regarding the outcome of pelvic exenteration (PE) when performed for advanced or recurring cervical cancer. Methods: A total of 24 patients underwent PE for cervical cancer at the University Hospital Marburg between 2011 and 2016. Their data were retrospectively assessed and statistically analyzed. Survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meyer method. Results: Mean age was 52.2 years (29.7 to 72.6 years), mean BMI was 23.4 kg/m2. Most common indication was squamous cell carcinoma, whereas 3 patients underwent PE for adenocarcinoma. The majority of the tumors (62.5%) were stage pT4. Negative margins could be achieved in 70.8%. Lymph nodes could be assessed in 55% and were tumor-afflicted in 20.8%. 45.8% were treated for recurrent cancer; median recurrence free time between previous treatment and PE was 16 months. Up-front PE was performed in 20.8%. Another 79.2% received treatment prior to PE: 20.8% received all 3 treatment modalities whereas 37.5% had two treatments before (29.2% underwent chemo- and radiotherapy, 8.3% had surgery and radiotherapy) and 20.8% underwent one type of treatment. Anterior PE (APE) and total PE (TPE) were performed in 62.5% and 37.5%, respectively. Median operation time was 324min. Blood products were administered perioperatively in 75%; 37.5% needed 2 or more. Median hospital stay was 25 days. Major complications (Clavien Dindo≥3) were observed in 41.7% and 16.7% had no complications. Overall Survival (OS) was 29.2%; median overall survival was 19.1 months. 2- and 3-year survival rates for curative PE were 50% and 35% respectively. 4 patients underwent PE with palliative intent. Overall survival correlated significantly with R1- (p = 0.012), N1- (p = 0.047) and M1-status p < 0.01), TPE (p = 0.034) and surgical time > 6 h (p = 0.003). Conclusions: In cases of advanced or recurrent cervical cancer gynecologists struggle to find suitable therapeutic options, especially since most patients have already received radio- and/or chemotherapy. PE is a valid option for selected patients that may represent a cure with tolerable complication rates.
