ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In 2023 FIGO revised the endometrial cancer staging system after 13 years. There is a lacuna of data regarding the performance and practicality of the revised 2023 FIGO staging schema for endometrial cancer from Low Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). OBJECTIVE: To estimate the shift of stage and adjuvant management of endometrial cancer based on the FIGO 2023 system compared to the FIGO 2009 system and assess the predictive potential of the FIGO 2023 system. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2022. All patients with endometrial cancer were staged according to the FIGO 2023 and FIGO 2009 staging system. Follow-up of patients was done to determine recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 152 patients were included. Aggressive histology was seen in 66 (45%) patients. Eighteen (11%) had subserosal involvement. Substantial LVSI was noted in 23 (15%) of patients. Twenty-four (47%) patients of FIGO 2009 Stage IA and 26 patients (63%) of FIGO 2009 Stage IB were upstaged. Eleven (50%) patients of FIGO 2009 Stage IIIA were down staged to IA3. Overall 23 patients (15%) had a shift of stage. Fifteen out of 152 patients (15%) would have had a possible risk stratification change which would imply 23 patients (15%) would have needed a more radical treatment. Molecular classification was done in 32 patients; however, only 2 patients could afford POLE testing. Kaplan-Meier curves showed significant PFS differences in FIGO 2009 Stage IB and Stage IIIA when restaged according to the FIGO 2023 system. CONCLUSION: The FIGO 2023 endometrial staging is a more robust prognosticator; however, the practicality of molecular classification in LMICs is still a distant dream.

ABSTRACT

Background: Recurrence rates of FIGO stage IB-IIA and IIB-IVA cervical cancer  28-64  respectively. There is a scarcity of data on the recurrence recurrence pattern for unusual sites and theirrecurrence pattern for unusual sites and its association with survival and prognosis. Objective: To study overall survival in patients with distant metastasis compared to local and regional nodal metastasis. Methods: A retrospective study was done from 1/1/2017 to 30/12/22. Cervical cancer patients post primary treatments were included. Survival was analyzed with respect to 3 groups local, regional nodalconducted from 1/1/2017 to 30/12/22. Cervical cancer patients who had received primary post-primary treatments were included. Survival was analyzed with respect to three groups: local, regional nodal, and distant metastasis. Results: 225 patients had recurrences   post-completion of primary treatment, of which 105 (46.6%)(46.6 %) had local, 46 (20.4%)(20.4 %) had regional nodal, and 74 (33.3 %) had distant recurrences. The median time for recurrence in local, regional nodal, and atypical recurrences were 9, 9, and 13 months (p value - <0.05), respectively. Treatment included systemic chemotherapy 122 (54.2 %), metronomic therapy 19 (8.4 %), palliative radiotherapy 44 (19.5 %), palliative surgery 8 (3.5 %) and best supportive care 30 (13.3 %) patients. Median Time to treatment-death of patients after recurrence in local, nodal and distant recurrences was 17.0 months, 18.0 months and 10.0 months respectively (p value - < 0.05). Overall Survival of patients after primary treatment with local, nodal and distant recurrences was 35.0 months, 47.0 months and 50.0 months respectively (p value <0.05). Conclusion: Local recurrence is most common, followed by regional, nodal, and distant recurrences. Overall survival post recurrence was lowest for distant recurrences and highest for local recurrences however overall survival after primary treatment completion was highest for distant recurrence due to the late presen; however, tation of distant recurrences.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: In an oncological set up the role of frozen section biopsy is undeniable. They serve as an important tool for surgeon's intraoperative decision making but the diagnostic reliability of intraoperative frozen section may vary from institute to institute. The surgeon should be well aware of the accuracy of the frozen section reports in their setup to enable them to take decisions based on the report. This is why we had conducted a retrospective study at Dr B. Borooah Cancer Institute, Guwahati, Assam, India to find out our institutional frozen section accuracy. METHODS: The study was conducted from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2022 (5 years). All gynaecology oncology patients who were operated on during the study period and had an intraoperative frozen section done were included in the study. Patients who had incomplete final histopathological report (HPR) or no final HPR were excluded from the study. Frozen section and final histopathology report were compared and analysed and discordant cases were analysed based on the degree of discordancy. RESULTS: For benign ovarian disease, the IFS accuracy, sensitivity and specificity are 96.7%, 100% and 93%, respectively. For borderline ovarian disease the IFS accuracy, sensitivity and specificity are 96.7%, 80% and 97.6%, respectively. For malignant ovarian disease the IFS accuracy, sensitivity and specificity are 95.4%, 89.1% and 100%, respectively. Sampling error was the most common cause of discordancy. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative frozen section may not have 100% diagnostic accuracy but still it is the running horse of our oncological institute.
