    Objective: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting parametrial involvement in cervical cancer patients with tumor size <= 4 cm and selection of the low-risk patient group based on long-term oncologic outcomes. Material and Methods: Cervical cancer patients operated in the gynecologic oncology division between 2007 and 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. One-hundred and sixty-eight patients with tumor size <= 4 cm were identified. Of these, 159 (86.8%) underwent radical hysterectomy plus pelvic-para- aortic lymphadenectomy and nine (13.2%) underwent fertility-sparing surgery [radical trachelectomy (n= 7); large conization (n=2)]. Factors affecting parametrial invasion, including lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), deep stromal invasion (DSI), lymph node metastases, and tumor size, were evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Median age was 49.5 years and median tumor size was 2.5 cm ( 0.45-4 cm). In both univariate and multivariate analyses, the risk of parametrial involvement was increased with LVSI with a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.45 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-10.8] and DSI with a HR of 4.1 (95% CI: 1.18-14.8), while tumor size of <= 2 cm was only significant in univariate analyses. Furthermore, 26 early-stage patients were identified with low-risk factors and they had no parametrial involvement, lymph node metastases, recurrence, or death from disease over 77 months. Conclusion: Parametrial involvement in low-risk cervical cancer is very rare and less radical procedures may be safe in these patients.

    The prognostic significance of stage I ovarian clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas arising from endometriotic cysts: is it a myth?
    (2019) Ayhan, Ali; Akilli, Huseyin; Haberal, Nihan; 30315413
    PurposeThe aim of this study was to determine the clinicopathologic features and the prognostic significance of Stage I ovarian clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas arising from endometriotic cysts.Materials and methodsPatients with either Stage I ovarian clear cell or endometrioid carcinoma were divided into three groups. *Group 1: Patients with cancers arising from endometriotic cysts *Group 2: Patients with ovarian and pelvic endometriosis *Group 3: Patients without endometriosis Patient characteristics (overall survival and disease-free survival) were compared between groups.ResultsOf the 78 patients who participated in this study, 39 were in group 1, 13 were in group 2, and 26 were in group 3. The mean age in groups 1, 2, and 3 were 46years, 54years, and 48years, respectively (p=0.39). Tumoral characteristics, including capsule rupture, positive cytology, grade, and the presence of synchronous endometrial cancer were similar in both groups. The 5-year overall survival rate in groups 1, 2, and 3 were 100, 90, and 93%, respectively (p=0.4). Moreover, the recurrence rates did not differ significantly between groups. Furthermore, subgroup analysis of clear cell carcinoma and endometrioid adenocarcinoma separately showed no effect of endometriosis on disease-free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS).ConclusionClear cell or endometrioid ovarian carcinoma arising from ovarian and/or pelvic endometriosis shares the same clinicopathologic characteristics with their counterparts that do not arise from endometriosis and patients have similar overall and disease-free survival.
