Abstract
Objective:
To present comparison of survival outcomes between locally advanced adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with definitive chemoradiation.
Methods:
It is a retrospective analysis and direct comparison between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma cervix treated from January 2011 to December 2015. Of 73 patients analyzed 61 had squamous carcinoma histology and remaining 12 had adenocarcinoma. Inclusion criteria were patients with locally advanced stage (IIA) who have completed definitive chemoradiation and were available for response evaluation at 3 months of completion of treatment. Endpoints for the study were disease response evaluation at 3 months, progression rate, median progression free survival, median recurrence free survival, median loco-regional control, median distant metastasis free survival, median overall survival.
Results:
There was no significant difference between the two histology groups with respect to rate of achieving complete response (78.6 vs 75%, p = 0.718) and rate of disease progression (36% vs 50%, p = 0.517). There was no significant difference between median PFS (57.75 vs 17.74 months; p = 0.964), median RFS (NR vs 66.03 months; p = 0.876), median loco-regional control (not reached for both; p = 0.315), median DMFS (NR vs 66.03 months; p = 0.438) and median OS (NR vs 66.13 months; p = 0.884).
Conclusions:
Locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma treated with definitive chemoradiation have similar outcomes. Small sample size is the limitation of this study.
