ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic factors of early stage adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix.METHODS: Totally 176 cases of early stage adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix who were admitted to Liaoning Cancer Hospital from January 2003 to May 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS: The median age of 176 cases was 45(20-73),The 5-year overall survival rate was 81%. The 5-year tumor-free survival rate was 74.0%. The median survival time was 85 months.In univariate analysis,prognostic factors of patients with early cervical adenocarcinoma were clinical stage and lymph node metastasis.The five-year survival rate of ⅠB1,ⅠB2 and ⅡA1 was 86.0%,74.0% and 66.0%,and there were statistical differences(P<0.05).Compared with patients of ⅠB stage,the risk of death inⅡA1 patients was significantly increased(HR=2.92,95%CI 1.37-6.21).Totally 151 cases were pathologically proved with negative lymph node metastasis and 25 cases positive. The 5-year survival rates of them were 87.0% and 32.0% respectively and there were statistical differences between them(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that only lymph node metastasis was an independent factor for survival(HR=5.86,95%CI 2.85-12.05).CONCLUSION: The 5-year survival rate of early-stage adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix is high;lymphnode metastasis is an important prognostic factor of early stage adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix.
