    Endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) have been recently reclassified according to their morphologic features linked to etiology by the International Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Criteria and Classification (IECC) and this system is adopted by WHO 2020. This classification separates the ECAs as human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated (HPVA) and HPV-independent (HPVI) subtypes. According to WHO 2020, high risk (HR)-HPV association can be histologically recognized by the presence of luminal mitoses and apoptosis. Therefore, investigating the reproducibility of the morphologic criteria of this new classification will be important in observing the recognizability of tumor types. Full slide sets of 94 ECAs were collected from 4 institutions in Turkey and reclassified on the basis of IECC/WHO 2020 criteria and the presence or absence of HR-HPV. HR-HPV presence was confirmed by HPV DNA in situ hybridization, p16 immunohistochemistry and in conflicted cases with real time-polymerase chain reaction. The final diagnoses were given based on the combination of the histologic evaluation and ancillary test results. Our cohort consisted of 73.4% HPVA and 26.6% HPVI cases. According to the WHO 2020 criteria 92.7% of HPVAs and 88% of HPVIs were easily classified. HPV DNA in situ hybridization was positive in 91.3% of the HPVAs and p16 was positive in all HPVAs, and also positive in 8% of the HPVIs. In conclusion, most of the ECAs can be diagnosed by their characteristic morphologic features by the WHO 2020 criteria. However, we want to emphasize that mitosis/apoptosis criteria may not be helpful especially in mucinous ECAs and ancillary tests for HR-HPV should be used in challenging cases.

    Comparison of two intraoperative examination methods for the diagnosis of sentinel lymph node metastasis in clinically early stage endometrial cancer: A Turkish Gynecologic Oncology Group Study (TRSGO-SLN-003)
    (2021) Taskin, Salih; Varli, Bulut; Altin, Duygu; Takmaz, Ozguc; Vatanseverc, Dogan; Ersoz, Cevriye Cansiz; Turan, Hasan; Bulutay, Pinar; Zeren, Handan; Havare, Semiha Battal; Karabuk, Emine; Naki, Murat; Gungor, Mete; Kose, Faruk; Ortac, Firat; Arvas, Macit; Ayhan, Ali; Taskiran, Cagatay; 33894621
    Objective: This study evaluated diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative sentinel lymph node (SLN) frozen section examination and scrape cytology as a possible solution for management of SLN positive patients. Study design: Clinically early-stage endometrial cancer patients who underwent SLN algorithm and intraoperative SLN examination were analyzed. Findings were compared with final pathology results and diagnostic accuracy of frozen section and scrape cytology were evaluated. Results: Of the 208 eligible patients, 100 patients (48 %) had frozen section examination and 108 (52 %) had scrape cytology of the SLN. Intraoperative examination and final pathology were negative for metastasis in 187/208 (90 %) cases. The rest 21 cases had metastatic SLNs according to final pathology. 12 of 21 (57 %) metastases were classified as macrometastasis. Intraoperative examination of SLNs correctly identified 13 cases (true positive) and missed 8 cases (false negative). Five of 8 false negative cases had micrometastasis or isolated tumor cells. Considering identification of macrometastasis, sensitivity and negative predictive value were 85.71 % and 98.94 %, respectively, for the frozen section and 60.00 % and 98.15 %, respectively, for the scrape cytology. Conclusion: Frozen section examination of SLN has higher sensitivity in detecting macrometastasis compared to scrape cytology and it could help the surgeon in decision for further lymphadenectomy intraoperatively.
