Item High-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma versus undifferentiated uterine sarcoma: a Turkish uterine sarcoma group study-001(2021) Ayhan, Ali; Tunc, Mehmet; Boran, Nurettin; Khatib, Ghanim; Gokcu, Mehmet; Simsek, Tayup; Ozen, Ozlem Isiksacan; Toptas, Tayfun; Yalcin, Ibrahim; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9082-1317; 33392719; AAK-4468-2021Objective Prognostic factors associated with high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HGESS) and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma (UUS) have not been distinctly determined due to the repetitive changes in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. We aimed to compare clinicopathologic features and outcomes of patients with HGESS with those of patients with UUS. Methods A multi-institutional, retrospective, cohort study was conducted including 71 patients, who underwent surgery at 13 centers from 2008 to 2017. An experienced gynecopathologist from each institution re-evaluated the slides of their own cases according to the WHO2014 classification. Factors associated with refractory/progressive disease, recurrence or death were examined using logistic regression analyses. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival comparisons. Results The median disease-free survival (DFS) for HGESS and UUS was 12 months and 6 months, respectively. While the median overall survival was not reached in HGESS group, it was 22 months in the UUS group. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that patients with UUS had a significantly poorer DFS than those with HGESS (p = 0.016), although OS did not differ between the groups (p = 0.135). Lymphovascular-space involvement (LVSI) was the sole significant factor associated with progression, recurrence or death for HGESS (Hazard ratio: 9.353, 95% confidence interval: 2.539-34.457, p = 0.001), whereas no significant independent factor was found for UUS. Conclusions UUS has a more aggressive behavior than HGESS. While no significant predictor of prognosis was found for UUS, LVSI is the sole independent prognostic factor for HGESS, with patients 9.3 times more likely to experience refractory/progressive disease, recurrence or death.Item Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma: A Turkish uterine sarcoma group study analyzing prognostic factors and disease outcomes(2021) Ayhan, Ali; Toptas, Tayfun; Oz, Murat; Vardar, Mehmet Ali; Kayikcioglu, Fulya; Ozgul, Nejat; Gokcu, Mehmet; Simsek, Tayup; Tunc, Mehmet; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; 0000-0002-8646-0619; 33375988; AAA-6962-2022Objective. To investigate factors associated with refractory disease, recurrence, or death as well as disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in low-grade endometrial sarcoma (LGESS). Methods. A multi-institutional, retrospective study was conducted in a total of 124 patients, who received a curative-intent surgery. The exclusion criteria were as follows: i) history of any other invasive disease; ii) neoadjuvant therapy; iii) fertility sparing surgery; iv) a different diagnosis after review of the slides. Results. All patients underwent hysterectomy, 96% had bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and 65% had lymphadenectomy. Twelve (14.8%) of 81 patients undergoing lymphadenectomy had lymph node (LN) metastasis. Of those, 8 (9.8%) had pelvic LN metastasis whereas 4 (5.6% ) had isolated paraaortic LN metastasis. Six of 8 (75%) patients with positive pelvic LNs had concurrent paraaortic LN metastasis. Among 124 patients, 3 patients (2.4%) had refractory disease following primary therapy. During a median follow-up of 45.5 months, 27 (22.3%) of 121 patients who achieved complete remission after primary therapy developed recurrence, and 10 patients (8.1%) died of disease. The 3-year DFS and OS were 76.9% and 93.8%, respectively. Stage was the sole independent prognostic factor in the whole cohort. When analyzing factors within subgroups of stage I and stage >= II, there was no significant prognostic factor for stage I; however, lymphadenectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy were significantly associated with disease outcomes for stage >= II. While lymphadenectomy was related with improved DFS, chemotherapy was associated with poor DFS and OS. Conclusion. The risk of LN metastasis at pelvic as well as paraaortic lymphatic basins is not negligible to omit lymphadenectomy in stage >= II LGESS. Moreover, lymphadenectomy provides significant DFS advantage in patients with extrauterine disease. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc.

From 2011 to 2017, medical records of 142 patients who underwent primary radical surgery for VC at 6 referral centers in Turkey were collected, retrospectively. The median age of the cohort was 67.0 years. 124 patients underwent radical surgery and inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy. The overall recurrence rate was 33.8% within a median follow-up time of 22 months. Five-year DFS and OS rates were 55.8% and 62.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed surgical margin (HR:6.4, p= 0.017 for DFS; HR: 13.6, p=0.009 for OS) and lymph node metastasis (HR: 4.1, p= 0.014 for DFS; HR: 6.3, p= 0.020 for OS) were the independent prognostic factors. There was no statistically difference in DFS and OS for patients who had used metformin.
