RESUMO

The 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) revision to the staging criteria for uterine cervical cancer adopted pathological staging for patients who underwent surgery. We investigated the correlation between clinicopathological factors and prognosis in patients with high-risk factors in accordance with the FIGO 2018 staging criteria by analyzing a real-world database of 6,192 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy at 116 institutions belonging to the Japan Gynecologic Oncology Group. A total of 1,392 patients were categorized into the high-risk group. Non-squamous cell carcinoma histology, regional lymph node metastasis, pT2 classification, and ovarian metastasis were identified as independent risk factors for mortality. Based on pathological findings, 313, 1003, and 76 patients were re-classified into FIGO 2018 stages IIB, IIIC1p, and IIIC2p, respectively. Patients with stage IIIC2p disease showed worse prognoses than those with stage IIB or IIIC1p disease. In patients with stage IIIC1p disease, overall survival was significantly better if their tumors were localized in the uterine cervix, except for single lymph node metastasis, with a 5-year overall survival rate of 91.8%. This study clarified the heterogeneity of the high-risk group and provided insights into the feasibility of upfront radical hysterectomy for a limited number of patients harboring high-risk factors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the feasibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by debulking surgery, for clinically diagnosed FIGO stage IVb endometrial cancer (protocol number: JGOG2046). METHODS: The experimental treatment consisted of 3 cycles of paclitaxel (180 mg/m2) plus carboplatin (AUC5) followed by debulking surgery, including total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and 3 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients were considered as eligible if they were pathologically diagnosed as primary endometrial cancer, and had both endometrial tumor and distant metastasis confirmed by imaging examinations. The primary endpoint was the incidence of patients who completed debulking surgery after the neoadjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS: While 51 patients were enrolled from 23 hospitals, the final study cohort consisted of 49 patients with a mean age of 59.0 years. Although the response ratio of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 65.3% (95% CI 50.4-78.3%), 67.3% (95% confidence interval (CI) 52.5-80.1%) underwent debulking surgery after the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 59.2% (95% CI 45.2-71.8%) completed the protocol treatment including 3 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy. The median disease-free survival time was 9.1 months (95% CI 6.5-11.9), while the median overall survival time was 23.2 months (95% CI 11.9-27.8). A patient with sigmoid colon cancer and another with cervical cancer were included in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by debulking surgery was a feasible and acceptable treatment for metastatic endometrial cancer. (225 words).

RESUMO

Background and aim The prevalence and characteristics of physical complaints related to bad weather among the general population remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of subjective physical symptoms related to bad weather. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted by using self-reported health-related questionnaires obtained from individuals undergoing annual medical check-ups at a municipal hospital in Japan. Participants were asked about the presence and details of physical symptoms related to bad weather, together with other health-related questions. Results Among the 133 participants, 42 (32%) (95%CI 24-40) reported experiencing physical conditions related to bad weather. Among these 42 patients, the most common ailment was headache (67%; n=28), followed by low back pain (21%; n=9), fatigue (19%; n=8), and stiff neck/shoulder discomfort (12%; n=5). Comparison between individuals with and without bad weather-related conditions revealed that those affected were younger (p=0.0014) and exhibited higher numerical rating scale scores for gastrointestinal problems (p=0.0027), irritability/agitation (p<0.0001), and sleep disorders (p=0.0295). These associations were confirmed even after adjusting for age and sex. Conclusions Physical conditions related to bad weather, represented by headache, fatigue, and back pain, can be seen in 25-40% of the general population, especially in younger age groups. Individuals with these conditions are more likely to experience irritability/agitation, gastrointestinal problems, and sleep disorders.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the frequency of deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) in Japanese ovarian cancer patients, we examined microsatellite instability (MSI) status and immunohistochemistry (IHC) subtypes, including endometrioid carcinoma (EMC), clear cell carcinoma (CCC), or a mixture of both (Mix). METHODS: We registered 390 patients who were diagnosed with EMC/CCC/Mix between 2006 and 2015 and treated at seven participating facilities. For 339 patients confirmed eligible by the Central Pathological Review Board, MSI, IHC, and MutL homolog 1 methylation analyses were conducted. The tissues of patients with Lynch syndrome (LS)-related cancer histories, such as colorectal and endometrial cancer, were also investigated. RESULTS: MSI-high (MSI-H) status was observed in 2/217 CCC (0.9%), 10/115 EMC (8.7%), and 1/4 Mix (25%). Additionally, loss of MMR protein expression (LoE-MMR) was observed in 5/219 (2.3%), 16/115 (14.0%), and 1/4 (25%) patients with CCC, EMC, and Mix, respectively. Both MSI-H and LoE-MMR were found significantly more often in EMC (p<0.001). The median (range) ages of patients with MMR expression and LoE-MMR were 54 (30-90) and 46 (22-76) (p=0.002), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, advanced stage and histological type were identified as prognostic factors. CONCLUSION: The dMMR rate for EMC/CCC was similar to that reported in Western countries. In Japan, it is assumed that the dMMR frequency is higher because of the increased proportion of CCC.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective analysis of a real-world database of open radical hysterectomy in Japan aimed to reveal the clinicopathological findings and clinical outcomes of low-risk patients with stage IB-IIA cervical cancer. METHODS: A total of 1143 stage IB1, IB2 and IIA1 (reclassified by FIGO 2018 staging system) patients with cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy between January 2004 and December 2008 from the Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group database were analyzed. Low-risk patients were defined as those without a tumor size exceeding 4 cm, parametrial tumor involvement, deep (outer half) stromal invasion, lymphovascular space invasion or lymph nodal metastasis. RESULTS: 61.2% (772/1262) patients with stage IB1, 32.1% (229/932) with stage IB2 and 16.9% (72/294) of stage IIA1 were classified into the low-risk group. The 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 98.4 and 93.7%, respectively. Histological classification did not affect the survival rates, but stage IIA cases had significantly lower overall survival and disease-free survival (83.5 and 93.8%, respectively) than stage IB cases. The independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival were older age (≧50), histology, clinical stage and clinical stage as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Regarding recurrence, older age, non-SCC and stage IIA1 were independent risk factors for local recurrence, but stage IIA1 was the only independent risk factor for distant metastasis. CONCLUSION: We found that stage IIA1 was the strongest risk factor for survival and recurrence of low-risk uterine cervical cancer (FIGO, 2018). In low-risk cases, stage IIA1 should be considered separately from stage IB.

RESUMO

We report the case of a large pelvic lymphocele after an ovarian cancer operation, which incidentally vanished after bleeding resulting from percutaneous catheter drainage. The patient was a 74-year-old woman with stage IVB ovarian cancer who underwent surgery including pelvic lymph node dissection. Three months after surgery, computed tomography revealed a large (13-cm diameter) pelvic lymphocele with associated bilateral hydronephrosis and left femoral vein thrombosis. The lymphocele was repeatedly drained by percutaneous aspiration, and the day after the second procedure, the drainage fluid became bloody. The catheter was clamped for 3 days and then removed. The lymphocele volume gradually decreased, and it was not seen on a computed tomography scan 70 days after drainage. The lymphocele did not recur prior to her death. In this case, the intracystic hemorrhage was considered to have served as a blood patch for lymph leakage.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label study investigated the efficacy and safety of nivolumab versus chemotherapy (gemcitabine [GEM] or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin [PLD]) in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eligible patients had platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer, received ≤ 1 regimen after diagnosis of resistance, and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of ≤ 1. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to nivolumab (240 mg once every 2 weeks [as one cycle]) or chemotherapy (GEM 1000 mg/m2 for 30 minutes [once on days 1, 8, and 15] followed by a week's rest [as one cycle], or PLD 50 mg/m2 once every 4 weeks [as one cycle]). The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate, duration of response, and safety. RESULTS: Patients (n = 316) were randomly assigned to nivolumab (n = 157) or GEM or PLD (n = 159) between October 2015 and December 2017. Median OS was 10.1 (95% CI, 8.3 to 14.1) and 12.1 (95% CI, 9.3 to 15.3) months with nivolumab and GEM or PLD, respectively (hazard ratio, 1.0; 95% CI, 0.8 to 1.3; P = .808). Median PFS was 2.0 (95% CI, 1.9 to 2.2) and 3.8 (95% CI, 3.6 to 4.2) months with nivolumab and GEM or PLD, respectively (hazard ratio, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.2 to 1.9; P = .002). There was no statistical difference in overall response rate between groups (7.6% v 13.2%; odds ratio, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.2 to 1.3; P = .191). Median duration of response was numerically longer with nivolumab than GEM or PLD (18.7 v 7.4 months). Fewer treatment-related adverse events were observed with nivolumab versus GEM or PLD (61.5% v 98.1%), with no additional or new safety risks. CONCLUSION: Although well-tolerated, nivolumab did not improve OS and showed worse PFS compared with GEM or PLD in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to conduct a detailed survey of radical hysterectomy in Japanese patients with early-stage cervical cancer, and to compare oncologic outcomes between open and minimally invasive radical hysterectomy. METHODS: In Japan during 2015, the medical records of 929 patients with FIGO stage IB1 and IIA disease treated with radical hysterectomy were retrospectively reviewed. We assessed patients' characteristics, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and prognostic factors for survival. RESULTS: The median patient age was 44 (20-80) years. Most patients (94.4%) had stage IB1 disease. Of the patients who underwent radical hysterectomy, 91.2% underwent open surgery and 8.8% underwent minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The median follow-up period was 40.8 months (range, 0.49-51.1 months). The rate of DFS and OS at 4 years in all patients was 88.3% and 96.4%, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified age (≥ 47), adenocarcinoma histology, tumor size (≥ 2 cm), parametrial invasion, positive lymph node metastasis and institutional accreditation as independent predictors of recurrence, and adenocarcinoma, other cell types, and positive lymph node metastasis as independent predictors of death. Oncologic outcomes in all patients were similar between open and MIS, including DFS and OS. CONCLUSION: The survival rate of the Japanese patients underwent radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer was favorable. No significant differences were observed for DFS and OS between open and MIS performed by a limited number of surgeons at a limited number of facilities in Japan. Further investigations are required to identify the appropriate patients might benefit from MIS.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis is a useful imaging modality for identifying origin and extent of ovarian cancer before primary debulking surgery. However, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging for ovarian cancer is determined based on surgico-pathological findings. The purpose of this study is to determine whether computed tomography staging can be the surrogate for surgico-pathological International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging in advanced ovarian cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS: Computed tomography staging was compared with surgico-pathological International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging in primary debulking surgery arm patients in a randomized controlled trial comparing primary debulking surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (JCOG0602). The cancer of primary debulking surgery arm was identically diagnosed regarding the origin and extent with the cancer of neoadjuvant chemotherapy arm before accrual, using imaging studies (computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging), cytological examination (ascites, pleural effusion or tumor contents fluid) and tumor marker (CA125 > 200 U/mL and CEA < 20 ng/mL). Institutional computed tomography staging was also compared with computed tomography staging by central review. RESULTS: Among 149 primary debulking surgery arm patients, 147 patients who underwent primary debulking surgery immediately were analyzed. Positive predictive values and sensitivity of computed tomography staging for surgical stage III disease (extra-pelvic peritoneal disease and/or retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis) were 99%. Meanwhile, positive predictive values for the presence of small (≤2 cm) extra-pelvic peritoneal disease were low; <20% in omentum. Accuracy of institutional computed tomography staging was comparable with computed tomography staging by central review. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative computed tomography staging in each institution can be the surrogate for surgico-pathological diagnosis in stage III disease of ovarian cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy without diagnostic surgery, but reliability of diagnosis of stage IIIB disease is inadequate.Clinical trial registration: UMIN000000523(UMIN-CTR).

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether radical hysterectomy (RAH) can effectively treat true Stage IIB (pTIIB) cervical adenocarcinoma (AC) because FIGO (clinical) Stage IIB cervical cancer is rarely treated with RAH and radiotherapy has unfavorable effects on AC. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data for 82 patients with Stage pTIIB cervical cancer who underwent RAH at our institution between January 1997 and December 2017. The end points were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) among squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 60) and AC (n = 22) patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with and without propensity score matching was conducted to identify the impact of RAH. RESULTS: Para-aortic lymph node metastasis and tumor diameter were significant factors for recurrence, and adjuvant chemotherapy prevented recurrence on multivariate analysis. After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in DFS and OS between the groups. Five-year DFS and OS of the SCC group were 0.505 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.268-0.702) and 0.619 (95% CI 0.351-0.803), respectively, and those of the AC group were 0.444 (95% CI 0.232-0.638) and 0.602 (95% CI 0.351-0.782), respectively. CONCLUSION: Bulky Stage pTIIB cervical cancer is hard to cure, but RAH plus adjuvant therapy might be an option for radio-resistant pTIIB cervical AC.

RESUMO

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) is a rare uterine tumor that sometimes recurs and advances. Hormonal treatment, especially high-dose progestins and aromatase inhibitors (AIs), has demonstrated efficacy against these tumors. Because the standard treatment period is uncertain and hormonal treatment is effective, hormonal agents are likely to be used long-term, especially when a residual tumor is present. However, the long-term use of high-dose progestins and AIs may cause thromboembolism, as well as musculoskeletal stiffness and pain. Dienogest, a relatively new progestin, has demonstrated safety after long-term administration; it also appears to have a more favorable long-term safety profile compared with other progestins and AIs. We encountered a young patient with recurrent LG-ESS that metastasized to the liver and exhibited resistance to high-dose medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). The patient was successfully treated with dienogest monotherapy. This is the first report describing the efficacy of dienogest against recurrent and metastatic LG-ESS that is resistant to MPA and other agents.

RESUMO

Spin ice is an exotic type of magnetism displayed by bulk rare-earth pyrochlore oxides. We discovered a spin ice-like magnetic relaxation of [{Mn(saltmen)}4 {Mn(CN)6 }](ClO4 )⋅13 H2 O (saltmen2- =N,N'-(1,1,2,2-tetramethylethylene)bis(salicylideneiminate)). This magnetic system can be considered as a two-dimensional network of MnIII salen-type single-molecule magnets (SMMs) in which each SMM unit (ST =4) has two orthogonally oriented axial anisotropies and is connected ferromagnetically through the [Mn(CN)6 ]3- unit (S=1). This work illustrates that a two-dimensional SMM network with competition between the ferromagnetic interaction and local noncollinear magnetic anisotropies on SMMs is a new type of magnetic system exhibiting slow relaxation of magnetization with a Davidson-Cole-type broad distribution of the relaxation time.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Regarding the comparison between primary debulking surgery (PDS) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for stage III/IV ovarian, tubal and peritoneal cancers, EORTC55971 and CHORUS studies demonstrated noninferiority of NACT. Previously, we reported reduced invasiveness of NACT in JCOG0602. This is a final analysis including the primary endpoint of overall survival (OS). METHODS: Patients were randomised to PDS (PDS followed by 8x paclitaxel and carboplatin, i.e. TC regimen) or NACT (4x TC, interval debulking surgery [IDS], 4x TC). The primary endpoint was OS. The noninferiority hazard ratio (HR) margin for NACT compared with PDS was 1·161. The planned sample size was 300. FINDINGS: Between 2006 and 2011, 301 patients were randomised, 149 to PDS and 152 to NACT. The median OS was 49·0 and 44·3 months in the PDS and NACT. HR for NACT was 1·052 [90·8% confidence interval (CI) 0·835-1·326], and one-sided noninferiority p-value was 0·24. Median progression-free survival was 15·1 and 16·4 months in the PDS and NACT (HR: 0·96 [95%CI 0·75-1·23]). In the PDS arm, 147/149 underwent PDS and 49/147 underwent IDS. In the NACT arm 130/152 underwent IDS. Complete resection was achieved in 12% (17/147) of PDS and 31% (45/147) of PDS ± IDS in the PDS arm and in 64% (83/130) of IDS in the NACT arm. Optimal surgery (residual tumour <1 cm) was achieved in 37% (55/147), 63% (92/147), and 82% (107/130 respectively. In the NACT, PS 2/3, serum albumin ≤2·5, CA125 > 2000 an institution with low study activity was advantageous, whereas clear/mucinous histology was disadvantageous for OS. INTERPRETATION: The noninferiority of NACT was not confirmed. NACT may not always be a substitute for PDS. However, as our study had smaller numbers, the noninferiority of the previous studies cannot be denied. FUNDING: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan and the National Cancer Center, Japan.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is a rare gynecologic malignancy for which the currently available treatments do not consistently provide long-term disease control. This study aimed to reveal the current clinical status of uLMS to support future clinical trials. METHODS: This study enrolled patients with uLMS treated at 53 Japanese institutions from 2000 to 2012. Central pathological review (CPR) was performed. All cases were confirmed by CPR, and epidemiological features, treatment, and prognosis were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: A total of 307 patients were enrolled. A diagnosis of uLMS was confirmed in 266 patients (86.6%) of patients after CPR, of whom data for 259 were analyzed. Of these, 186 (71.8%) patients underwent complete gross resection as primary therapy. Ninety-eight patients received no additional adjuvant therapy, while docetaxel and gemcitabine was the most frequent regimen among 155 patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. In all cases, the median overall survival (OS) was 44.2 months. Multivariate analyses of prognostic factors in all cases identified stage III and IV disease, high serum lactate dehydrogenase level, and menopausal status as poor prognostic factors. However, in stage I cases, high serum lactate dehydrogenase level and no adjuvant treatment were identified as poor prognostic factors. The 5-year OS of patients with stage I uLMS treated with adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly better than that of those without adjuvant treatment (67.8% vs 46.7%, P = 0.0461). CONCLUSIONS: Despite complete removal of the primary lesion, the clinical course of patients with uLMS was poor due to recurrence of distant metastasis. The application of a suitable biomarker and effective adjuvant chemotherapy are required to improve the prognosis of patients with uLMS.

RESUMO

AIM: Serous carcinoma of the uterine cervix (USCC) is a very rare malignant tumor, while this histological subtype is common in the ovary, fallopian tube, uterine corpus and peritoneum. Because of its rarity, details of the clinicopathological features of USCC are largely unknown. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics of five cases of pure USCC. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records and pathological specimens of five USCC cases who were treated at the Gynecology Service of the National Hospital Organization Kyushu Cancer Center, Japan, between 2000 and 2017. The clinicopathological features were also compared with those of serous carcinomas of the endometrium and ovary who were treated during the same period. RESULTS: Five patients were treated at our hospital between 2000 and 2017. Three tumors were stage IB1, one was stage IIB, and one was stage IVB. The median follow-up time was 104 months (range 26-210). Four patients other than stage IVB were treated with radical hysterectomy and have been free of relapse. One patient with stage IVB tumor was treated with platinum-based combination chemotherapy and is currently on maintenance therapy with bevacizumab and remains free of relapse. CONCLUSION: USCC has a distinctive clinicopathological feature that differentiates it from serous carcinomas of other female organs. USCC had been thought to be a poor prognostic disease; however, it could be curable if it is not accompanied by lymph node metastasis or peritoneal dissemination. We might conquer USCC even if it is accompanied by lymph node metastasis with the use of multimodal therapy.

RESUMO

This study examined the association between peritoneal cytology and survival in early-stage cervical cancer. This is a nationwide multicenter retrospective study, examining consecutive women with clinical stage IB1-IIB cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy with available peritoneal cytology results from 2004-2008. Propensity score inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to assess the impact of malignant peritoneal cytology on survival. Among 1409 analyzed cases, 88 (6.2%) had malignant peritoneal cytology. On weighted models, malignant peritoneal cytology was associated with decreased disease-free survival (hazard ratio (HR) 1.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.36-2.32) and overall survival (OS, HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.44-2.59). On sensitivity analyses, malignant peritoneal cytology was associated with decreased OS in adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma, high-risk early-stage disease and those who received concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. However, among women who received postoperative systemic chemotherapy, malignant peritoneal cytology was not associated with OS (HR 1.21, 95% CI 0.72-2.04). A systematic review, including our results, showed that malignant peritoneal cytology was associated with decreased OS (HR 4.03, 95% CI 1.81-8.99) and increased recurrence in squamous carcinoma (odds ratio 1.89, 95% CI 1.05-3.39) and adenocarcinoma (odds ratio 4.30, 95% CI 2.30-8.02). In conclusion, the presence of malignant cells in peritoneal cytology is associated with decreased survival in early-stage cervical cancer. The possible benefit of systemic chemotherapy in this subgroup merits further investigation.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: The efficacy of taxane plus platinum regimens has been demonstrated for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer; however, it has not been assessed in postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for endometrial cancer. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical benefit of taxane plus platinum compared with standard doxorubicin plus cisplatin as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in endometrial cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In this multicenter, open-label, phase 3 randomized clinical trial, patients with endometrial cancer at high-risk stage I or II or stage III or IV that did not extend beyond the abdominal cavity and had 2 cm or greater residual tumor were included from 118 institutions in Japan from November 24, 2006, to January 7, 2011. Data was analyzed from March 15, 2017, to June 30, 2017. INTERVENTIONS: Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive 6 cycles of doxorubicin, 60 mg/m2, plus cisplatin, 50 mg/m2, on day 1; docetaxel, 70 mg/m2, plus cisplatin, 60 mg/m2, on day 1; or paclitaxel, 180 mg/m2, plus carboplatin (area under the curve, 6.0 mg/mL × min) on day 1 every 3 weeks. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary end point was progression-free survival. Secondary end points were overall survival, occurrence of adverse events, tolerability, and status of lymph node dissection. RESULTS: Among 788 eligible patients, the median (SD) age was 59 (22-74) years; 263 patients were assigned to doxorubicin plus cisplatin treatment, 263 patients to docetaxel plus cisplatin treatment, and 262 patients to paclitaxel plus carboplatin treatment. The number of patients who did not complete 6 cycles was 53 (20.1%) for the doxorubicin plus cisplatin group, 45 (17.1%) for the docetaxel plus cisplatin group, and 63 (24.0%) for the paclitaxel plus carboplatin group. Tolerability of these regimens were not statistically different. After a median follow-up period of 7 years, there was no statistical difference of progression-free survival (doxorubicin plus cisplatin, 191; docetaxel plus cisplatin, 208; paclitaxel plus carboplatin, 187; P = .12) or overall survival (doxorubicin plus cisplatin, 217; docetaxel plus cisplatin, 223; paclitaxel plus carboplatin, 215; P = .67) among the 3 groups. The 5-year progression-free survival rate was 73.3% for the doxorubicin plus cisplatin group, 79.0% for the docetaxel plus cisplatin group, and 73.9% for the paclitaxel plus carboplatin group, while the 5-year overall survival rates were 82.7%, 88.1%, and 86.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: There was no significant difference of survival among patients receiving doxorubicin plus cisplatin, docetaxel plus cisplatin, or paclitaxel plus carboplatin as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for endometrial cancer. Because each regimen showed adequate tolerability but different toxic effects, taxane plus platinum regimens may be a reasonable alternative to treatment with doxorubicin plus cisplatin.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes associated with the use of a novel monopolar scalpel with those associated with the use of an ultrasonic scalpel for cervical conization of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study in patients treated in our institute between April 2010 and March 2017. We used either the VIO monopolar scalpel (VIO) or Harmonic ultrasonic scalpel (HS) for cervical conization. We analyzed operative outcomes, postoperative complications, and pathological findings associated with the use of the 2 devices. RESULTS: In 500 patients treated with cervical conization, VIO and HS were used in 249 and 251 patients, respectively. No significant difference in patient background was found between the groups. The mean operative time was shorter with VIO than with HS (18.2 min vs. 27.4 min). The mean estimated blood loss was greater with VIO (7.2 g vs. 3.1 g), but the postoperative bleeding rate was higher with HS (5% vs. 20%). Regarding other complications, cervical stenosis was only noted with VIO (4 cases, 1.6%). The positive margin (11% vs. 16%) and positive endocervical curettage rates (7% vs 10%) were not significantly different between the groups. No significant differences were also found in the pathological results and need for additional treatment (the rate of the additional treatment: 20% vs. 23%). CONCLUSIONS: Considering short operating time and less postoperative bleeding, VIO was preferred to HS. However, the excessive coagulation in VIO is considered to lead to cervical stenosis.
