Primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix:a clinicopathological analysis of 32 patients
Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological features and prognosis of primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix(PCCAC).Methods Thirty-two patients diagnosed with PCCAC and treated at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2013 to January 2023 were collected,their clinical and pathological characteristics were analyzed,and the Log-rank test was performed to explore factors associated with patient survival.Results The median age of the thirty-two patients was 48 years.All patients underwent hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy,and the unilateral or bilateral ovaries were preserved in 5 cases.The median follow-up was 45 months(ranging,1-116 months),1 case was lost to followup,3 patients died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome due to recurrence and metastasis,and 1 patient recurred but the prognosis was good after comprehensive treatment;no recurrence or metastasis was found in the follow-up of the remaining patients.Log-rank test showed that age>50 years,menopause,endogenous or cervical canal type and corpus uteri invasion were associated with worse prognosis(P<0.05).Conclusion Age>50 years,menopause,endogenous or cervical canal type and corpus uteri invasion may be prognostic factors for survival of PCCAC patients.Ovarian preservation does not seem to affect the prognosis of patients.
