[PMID: 37695371 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-023-07207-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To elucidate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) of the uterine cervix, a clinically rare but highly invasive disease. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational, real-world study of 43 patients with pathologically confirmed MDA at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital of Fudan University between November 2010 and November 2021. Baseline clinicopathological data were collected and reviewed. Prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were investigated by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses. RESULTS Chief complaints included irregular vaginal discharge and/or bleeding (74.4%). Preoperative diagnosis was difficult, the detection rate was low (36.8%), all cases showed endophytic lesions, and 88.4% had deep stromal invasion, with biologically aggressive characteristics. The ovarian metastasis rate was high (16.3%, 7/43). The median maximum diameter of the tumour (MDOT) was 4.3 cm (range, 0.5-8.0 cm). MDOT was significantly associated with OS (P = 0.009), and the optimal cut-off value to define bulky MDA was 5.5 cm (P < 0.0001, χ= 21.161) using X-tile software. Independent prognostic factors included MDOT (HR = 10.095, P = 0.001) and ovarian metastasis (HR = 5.888, P = 0.008) for OS and MDOT (HR = 3.944, P = 0.028), ovarian metastasis (HR = 9.285, P = 0.001), and deep infiltration (HR = 3.627, P = 0.048) for PFS. CONCLUSION Endophytic lesion development and ovarian metastasis are likely in MDA. A bulky tumour and ovarian metastasis indicate a worse prognosis. Given the special biological features of MDA, it is more appropriate to use 5.5 cm as the threshold for defining a bulky tumour than it is to use 4 cm. Ovary removal should be given higher priority to improve prognosis.

Surgical Management for Transposed Ovarian Recurrence of Cervical Cancer: A Systematic Review with Our Experience. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:7158-7170. [PMID: 36290840 PMCID: PMC9600108 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29100563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
In early-stage cervical cancer, ovarian metastasis is relatively rare, and ovarian transposition is often performed during surgery. Although rare, the diagnosis and surgical approach for recurrence at transposed ovaries are challenging. This study focused on the diagnosis and surgical management of transposed ovarian recurrence in cervical cancer patients. A 45-year-old premenopausal woman underwent radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and pelvic lymphadenectomy following postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage IB1 cervical cancer. During the initial surgery, the ovary was transposed to the paracolic gutter, and no postoperative complications were observed. Ovarian recurrence was diagnosed using positron emission tomography-computed tomography, and a laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy was performed. A systematic review identified nine women with transposed ovarian recurrence with no other metastases of cervical cancer, and no studies have discussed the optimal surveillance of transposed ovaries. Of those (n = 9), four women had died of the disease within 2 years of the second surgery, and the prognosis of transposed ovarian cervical cancer seemed poor. Nevertheless, three women underwent laparoscopic oophorectomies, none of whom experienced recurrence after the second surgery. Few studies have examined the surgical management of transposed ovarian recurrence. The optimal surgical approach for transposed ovarian recurrence of cervical cancer requires further investigation.

Trends and characteristics of ovarian conservation at hysterectomy for young women with cervical cancer. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2022; 273:59-64. [PMID: 35487095 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2022.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between early surgical menopause and increased mortality has been well demonstrated. Prior studies have also demonstrated that ovarian conservation is not associated with worse oncologic outcomes in early-stage cervical cancer. This study examined the contemporary trends and characteristics of ovarian conservation at time of hysterectomy in young women with cervical cancer. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study examining the National Inpatient Sample. The study population was 4900 women aged ≤50 years with cervical cancer who had hysterectomy-based surgical treatment from 10/2015 to 12/2018. The exposure allocation was the adnexal procedure status (ovarian conservation versus oophorectomy). The main outcome measures were temporal trends of ovarian conservation over time and per patient age. Multivariable binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify independent characteristics associated with ovarian conservation. A classification-tree was constructed by recursive partitioning analysis to examine the utilization patterns of ovarian conservation. RESULTS A total of 2,940 (60.0%) women underwent ovarian conservation at hysterectomy. Ovarian conservation rates remained stable until age 37 years, ranging from 82.5% to 77.9% (P = 0.502), after which time the rate sharply and significantly decreased by 7.4% (95% confidence interval 5.4-9.3, P < 0.001) in one-year age increments from 77.9% at age 37 years to 28.7% at age 50 years. The rate of ovarian conservation increased from 54.7% in Q4/2015 to 64.4% in Q4/2018 (P = 0.002). In multivariable analysis, recent surgery remained an independent factor for ovarian conservation (adjusted-odds ratio per year-quarter 1.04, 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.06). A classification-tree model identified 24 unique patterns of ovarian conservation based on patient factor (age, race/ethnicity, primary expected payer, and year of surgery), surgical factor (minimally invasive hysterectomy), and facility factor (hospital bed capacity and region), ranging from <20% to 90% (absolute percentage difference, >80%). CONCLUSION Increasing rates of ovarian conservation at the time of hysterectomy in women undergoing surgical management of cervical cancer is encouraging; however, the marked decrease noted in patients in their mid-30s as well as substantial variability in ovarian conservation based on patient, surgical, and hospital factors are striking and warrant further consideration in clinical practice guidelines.

Abstract
Purpose Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the cervix (CCAC) is a rare pathological type of cervical cancer. This study aimed to report our clinical experience with CCAC treatment and analyze the factors associated with patient survival. Patients and Methods This single-center study included patients diagnosed with CCAC and treated between 01/2003 and 12/2017 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University. The patients diagnosed with CCAC that underwent radical resection were included. The Kaplan–Meier method and multivariable Cox regression analysis were performed to determine factors associated with patient survival. Results Fifty-four patients were included. None were exposed to diethylstilbestrol. The median follow-up was 96 (13.0, 120.0) months. The median recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were 68 and 78 months, respectively. Positive pelvic lymph nodes (HR=2.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14–7.22, P=0.03), tumor size >4 cm (HR=3.31, 95% CI 1.35–8.12, P=0.01), International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IB2-IIA2 stage (HR=2.49, 95% CI 1.56–3.99, P=0.02), and postoperative therapy (HR=1.73, 95% CI 1.07–2.81, P=0.03) were associated with OS. Multivariable analysis showed that FIGO stage IB2-IIA2 (HR=2.36, 95% CI 1.52–3.68, P<0.01) and lymph node status (HR=3.05, 95% CI 1.12–8.28, P=0.03) were independently associated with OS. Conclusion Advanced FIGO stage and positive lymph node status are independently associated with shorter survival in patients with CCAC who were not exposed to diethylstilbestrol. After surgery, chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy were not independently associated with the prognosis of patients with CCAC.

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has many benefits, in the form of reduced postoperative morbidity, improved recovery and reduced inpatient stay. It is imperative, however, when new techniques are adopted, in the context of treating oncology patients, that the oncological efficacy and safety are established rigorously rather than assumed based on first principles. Here we have attempted to provide a comprehensive review of all the contentious and topical themes surrounding the use of MIS in the treatment of endometrial and cervix cancer following a thorough review of the literature. On the topic of endometrial cancer, we cover the role of laparoscopy in both early and advanced disease, together with the role and unique benefits of robotic surgery. The surgical challenge of patients with a raised body mass index and the frail and elderly are discussed and finally the role of sentinel lymph node assessment. For cervical cancer, the role of MIS for staging and primary treatment is covered, together with the interesting and highly specialist topics of fertility-sparing treatment, ovarian transposition and the live birth rate associated with this. We end with a discussion on the evidence surrounding the role of adjuvant hysterectomy following radical chemoradiation and pelvic exenteration for recurrent cervical cancer. MIS is the standard of care for endometrial cancer. The future of MIS for cervix cancer, however, remains uncertain. Current recommendations, based on the available evidence, are that the open approach should be considered the gold standard for the surgical management of early cervical cancer and that MIS should only be adopted in the context of research. Careful counselling of patients on the current evidence, discussing in detail the risks and benefits to enable them to make an informed choice, remains paramount.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the study is to summarize the clinical characteristics and identify the prognosis of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix (CCAUC) in patients without a history of diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure. Methods Forty-two patients with CCAUC, treated initially at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between 1985 and 2017, were studied. Results Of all the CCAUC patients, the median age was 47 years old, and the median tumor size was 3 cm. Thirty-four early stage patients (IB = 28, IIA = 6) underwent radical surgery. Eight advanced stage patients (IIB = 8) received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (n = 4) or radical surgery (n = 4). Survival analysis showed that patients with early stage (IB-IIA) had a significantly better 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than those with advanced stage (IIB) (p < 0.05). The patients with negative pelvic lymph node (PLN) had a significantly better 5-year PFS and OS than those with positive PLN (p < 0.05). Radiotherapy (RT) did not affect PFS or OS in early stage patients with intermediate risk factors (p > 0.05). Adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) did not affect PFS or OS in early stage patients without risk factors (p > 0.05). Conclusion The FIGO stage and pelvic node status were important prognostic factors for both PFS and OS. For treatment modality, we recommended that radical surgery alone was used in early stage patients without high risk factors. Ovarian preservation in early stage patients involved some risk.

Safety and Prognostic Impacts of Ovarian Preservation during Radical Hysterectomy for Early-Stage Adenocarcinoma and Adenosquamous Cervical Cancer. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:5791381. [PMID: 33274215 PMCID: PMC7683125 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5791381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective To identify the incidence of ovarian metastasis and the impact of ovarian preservation on oncological outcomes for early-stage adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous cervical cancer. Methods 281 patients with stages IA2-IB1 adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy (RHND) were included in the study. The incidence of ovarian metastasis was evaluated from 173 patients who underwent oophorectomy during RHND. Subgroup analysis was performed for patients less than 50 years (196 of 281 patients) who were classified into two groups, ovarian preservation and nonovarian preservation groups. 5-year recurrence-free survival (5-yr RFS) and 5-year overall survival (5-yr OS) were evaluated and compared between these groups. Results There was no evidence of ovarian metastasis, synchronous ovarian cancer, or ovarian recurrence during follow-up. In patients less than 50 years of age, there were no statistically significant differences in the 5-yr RFS (P = 0.363), or 5-yr OS (P = 0.974) between the ovarian preservation and nonovarian preservation groups. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, the ovarian preservation group seemed to have a slightly better OS in long-term follow-up (after 15 years); however, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions Ovarian preservation was safe in adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous cervical cancer stages IA2-B1. However, the impact of ovarian preservation on oncological outcomes needs to be further investigated.

Abstract
Cervix cancer in many countries is declining and screening programmes and immunisation will reduce the incidence in the next few decades. This guideline attempts to cover management of invasive disease reflecting diagnosis and imaging including new imaging and sentinel lymph node biopsies. Smaller volume disease is usually managed surgically whereas advanced disease is treated with (chemo)- radiation. It also includes discussion of fertility sparing procedures. Practices are changing frequently for all aspects of care usually in attempts to reduce complications and improve quality of life. The management of advanced disease is treated by chemotherapy and the use of newer agents is also discussed. Other sections discuss specialist situations such as cancer in pregnancy, rare cervical tumours, late effects and supportive measures and fertility preserving approaches.

Abstract
Numerous therapeutic and prognostic studies of cervical carcinoma have necessitated a revision of the FIGO classification.For microinvasive carcinomas, the horizontal dimension is no longer considered and diagnosis and staging will solely be made by the depth of cervical stromal invasion. Lymphovascular invasion beyond the deepest point of stromal infiltration by tumor cells does not alter the stage.There will be a new subclassification of macroinvasive carcinoma confined to the uterine cervix, which will be made by largest tumor extension as follows: FIGO IB1/T1b1 - invasive carcinoma >0.5 cm depth of stromal invasion and ≤2 cm in largest dimension, FIGO IBII/T1b2: - invasive carcinoma >2 cm and ≤4 cm, FIGO IBII/T1b3 - invasive carcinoma >4 cm. Pelvic as well as para-aortic lymph nodes will be defined as regional nodes. Pelvic lymph node metastases only will be categorised as FIGO IIIC1/pN1a and para-aortic lymph node involvement with or without concomitant pelvic involvement will be FIGO IIIC2/pN1b. Uterine corpus as well as adnexal involvement are not relevant for staging purpose.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the oncological outcomes and safety of ovarian preservation, and to review the prognostic factors for ovarian metastases in early stage cervical adenocarcinoma. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for publications up to January 2019. Two investigators independently screened the studies for eligibility and extracted specific data. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using STATA statistical software version 19.0. Results: A total of 68 unique manuscripts were identified through the search strategy, and 10 studies were included in the meta-analysis of the safety of ovarian preservation. Fixed-effects model was used because of moderate heterogeneity. Pooled results of the included studies showed that ovarian preservation is not associated with a statistically significant OS (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.64–1.56, I2 = 25.7%) or PFS (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.57–1.66, I2 = 0%) in early stage cervical adenocarcinoma. In addition, 19 studies were included in the review of prognostic factors for cervical adenocarcinoma and risk factors for ovarian metastases. The incidence of ovarian metastases was 0% in stage IA, 2.8% in stage IB, 3.4% in stage IIA, and 11.8% in stage IIB cervical adenocarcinoma. International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, tumor size, deep stromal invasion (DSI), lymph node metastasis (LNM), and vaginal invasion were significantly related to poor prognosis. Risk factors associated with ovarian metastases included age, FIGO stage, tumor size, DSI, parametrial invasion, corpus uteri invasion, LNM, vaginal invasion, and blood vessel invasion. Conclusions: Ovarian preservation in young patients with early stage cervical adenocarcinoma is safe and has no significant effect on OS or PFS. Preserving ovaries in patients with FIGO stage IIB seems not reasonable because of the high rate of ovarian metastasis.

Ovarian conservation is associated with better survival in young patients with T1N0M0 cervical adenocarcinoma: a population-based study. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2018; 297:775-784. [PMID: 29362924 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-018-4674-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2017] [Accepted: 01/15/2018] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Ovarian conservation is controversial in patients with cervical adenocarcinoma due to the risk of ovarian metastasis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of ovarian conservation with survival outcomes in young patients with T1N0M0 cervical adenocarcinoma. METHODS Women who were 45 years of age or younger with T1N0M0 cervical adenocarcinoma from 1988 to 2013 recorded in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were included. Propensity score weighting was used to balance the intragroup differences. Cause-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were compared using Kaplan-Meier estimates. A multivariate Cox model was used to adjust for covariates including propensity score. A stratified analysis was then conducted. RESULTS Totally, 1090 (79.7%) patients underwent oophorectomy and 278 (20.3%) patients whose ovaries were preserved were identified. Patients with preserved ovaries were younger, with a lower T classification and less likely to undergo pelvic lymphadenectomy (all p < 0.05). After propensity weighting, ovarian conservation group had better cause-specific survival (CSS) (5-year 98.8 versus 97.1%, 10-year 98.0 versus 95.2%, p = 0.0370) and overall survival (OS) (5-year 98.8 versus 97.1%, 10-year 96.5 versus 93.5%, p = 0.0025). After adjustment, the CSS benefit of ovarian conservation was marginally significant (p = 0.051) and OS benefit was still significant (p = 0.006). Stratified analysis showed that the CSS benefit was found in T1b classification (HR, 0.23; 95% CI 0.06-0.89, p = 0.033) and histological grade > 1 (HR 0.12; 95% CI 0.02-0.87; p = 0.035). CONCLUSION Among young women with T1N0M0 cervical adenocarcinoma, ovarian conservation is associated with better survival.

Abstract
This study seeks to identify risk factors associated with ovarian metastasis and to characterize a population with minimum risk of ovarian metastasis in young women with stage IB-IIB cervical cancer. This was a nation-wide multicenter retrospective study in Japan examining consecutive cases of surgically-treated women with clinical stage IB-IIB cervical cancer who had oophorectomy at radical hysterectomy (n = 5,697). Multivariable analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for ovarian metastasis. Ovarian metastasis was seen in 70 (1.2%, 95% confidence interval 0.9-1.5) cases. In the entire cohort, adenocarcinoma, lympho-vascular space invasion, uterine corpus tumor invasion, and pelvic/para-aortic nodal metastases remained independent risk factors for ovarian metastasis (all, adjusted-p < 0.05). In a sensitivity analysis of 3,165 women aged <50 years (ovarian metastasis, 1.0%), adenocarcinoma, parametrial tumor involvement, uterine corpus tumor involvement, and pelvic/para-aortic nodal metastases remained independent risk factors for ovarian metastasis (all, adjusted-P < 0.05). In the absence of these five risk factors (representing 46.1% of women aged <50 years), the incidence of ovarian metastasis was 0.14%. With the presence of adenocarcinoma alone (representing 18.9% of women aged <50 years), the incidence of ovarian metastasis was 0.17% and was not associated with increased risk of ovarian metastasis compared to the subgroup without any risk factors (p = 0.87). In conclusion, nearly two thirds of women aged <50 years with clinical stage IB-IIB cervical cancer had no risk factor for ovarian metastasis or had adenocarcinoma alone: these subgroups had ovarian metastasis rates of around 0.1% and may be a candidate population for ovarian conservation at surgical treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify predictors of ovarian conservation at hysterectomy and to examine the association of ovarian conservation and survival of young women with early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program to identify hysterectomy-based surgically treated patients with stage I cervical cancer diagnosed between 1983 and 2012 (N=16,511). Multivariable models were used to identify independent factors associated with ovarian conservation. Among the subgroup of 9,419 women younger than 50 years of age with stage I disease, survival outcomes and causes of death were examined for 3,908 (41.5%) women who underwent ovarian conservation at hysterectomy without radiotherapy. RESULTS On multivariable analysis, age younger than 50 years, stage IA disease, and squamous histology were independent factors associated with ovarian conservation (all, P<.001). Among 5,526 women younger than 50 years of age with stage IA disease who underwent hysterectomy without radiotherapy, overall survival was significantly higher in patients undergoing ovarian conservation than in those undergoing oophorectomy (20-year rate, 93.5% compared with 86.8%, P<.001); cervical cancer-specific survival was similar between the patients who underwent ovarian conservation and those who underwent oophorectomy (98.8% compared with 97.8%, P=.12). On multivariable analysis, ovarian conservation remained an independent prognostic factor for improved overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio 0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49-0.82, P=.001) and was independently associated with lower cumulative risks of death resulting from cardiovascular disease (20-year cumulative rate, 1.2% compared with 3.3%, adjusted hazard ratio 0.47, 95% CI 0.26-0.86, P=.014) and other chronic disease (0.5% compared with 1.4%, adjusted hazard ratio 0.24, 95% CI 0.09-0.65, P=.005) compared with oophorectomy. Both cervical cancer-specific survival (20-year rate, 93.1% compared with 92.0%, P=.37) and overall survival (86.7% compared with 84.6%, P=.12) were similar between ovarian conservation and oophorectomy among 3,893 women younger than 50 years of age with stage IB disease who underwent hysterectomy without radiotherapy. CONCLUSION Among young women with stage IA cervical cancer, ovarian conservation at hysterectomy is associated with decreased all-cause mortality including death resulting from cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, many of who are still within their reproductive lifespan. Advances in screening and treatment have increased the 5-year survival for early stage disease to over 90 % in developed countries. The focus is now shifting to reducing morbidity and improving fertility outcomes for cervical cancer patients. Radical trachelectomy with lymph node assessment became the standard of care for selected women with lesions <2 cm who desire fertility preservation. However, several questions still remain regarding the degree of surgical radicality required for tumors <2 cm, and fertility-sparing options for women with early-stage disesase ≥2 cm, and those with more advanced disease. Here, we compile a narrative review of the evidence for oncologic and pregnancy outcomes following radical trachelectomy, non-radical fertility-sparing surgery, and the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery for larger lesions. We also review the literature for assisted reproductive technologies in women with more advanced disease. FINDINGS Available literature suggests that the crude recurrence and mortality rates after radical trachelectomy are <5 and <2 %, respectively (approx. 11 and 4 % for tumors ≥ 2 cm). Among 1238 patients who underwent fertility-sparing surgery for early cervical cancer there were 469 pregnancies with a 67 % live birth rate. Among 134 cases with lesions ≥ 2 cm, there were ten conceptions with a live birth rate of 70 %. Outcomes after non-radical surgery (simple trachelectomy or cervical conization) are similar, although only applicable among a highly selected patient population. For patients ineligible for fertility-preserving surgery or who require adjuvant radiation therapy, current options include ovarian transposition and cryopreservation of oocytes or embryos but other techniques are under investigation. CONCLUSION Today, many cervical cancer survivors have successful pregnancies. For those with early-stage disease, minimally invasive and fertility sparing techniques have resulted in improved obstetrical outcomes without compromising oncologic safety. Results from three ongoing trials on non-radical surgery for low-risk tumors <2 cm will further inform the need for radical surgery in such patients. For those in whom natural childbearing is unachievable, advances in assisted reproductive technologies provide reproductive options. Despite our advances, the effects of cervical cancer survivorship on quality of life are not fully elucidated.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the incidence of ovarian metastasis (OM) in adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in early-stage cervical cancer and evaluate the safety of ovarian preservation in early-stage ADC.MethodsTo perform a meta-analysis to compare the incidence of OM between early-stage ADC and SCC, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane for observational studies that compared it with pathological evidence after radical hysterectomy and oophorectomy. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated with a fixed effects model. We also found a few articles evaluating the oncological prognosis of patients with ovarian preservation to perform a systematic review.ResultsA total of 5 studies were included in the meta-analyses. The incidence of OM of patients with early-stage ADC and SCC were 2% and 0.4%, respectively (odds ratio, 5.27; 95% confidence interval, 2.14–13.45). In 1427 patients with ADC or SCC of the cervix FIGO stage (CIS-IIA) who underwent hysterectomy, no ovarian recurrences were observed after unilateral or bilateral ovarian preservation in ADC patients in the follow-up (30–68 months); however, 15 patients with SCC developed pelvic recurrence.ConclusionsAlthough the incidence of OM was higher in early-stage ADC than SCC according to ovarian pathology, it might be relatively safe to perform ovarian preservation with early-stage ADC because of low ovarian recurrence rate in short-term follow-ups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In cervical adenocarcinoma, surgical treatment involves bilateral oophorectomy, which affects the long-term quality of life. The aim of our study was to access the incidence of ovarian metastasis in early-stage cervical adenocarcinoma and to suggest an algorithm for the triage of these patients to preserve the ovaries. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total 101 patients with cervical adenocarcinoma who had undergone radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy and bilateral oophorectomy were included in this study. Data on the clinicopathologic characteristics of the cases were collected and low risk factors for ovarian metastasis in early-stage cervical adenocarcinoma were analyzed. RESULTS The ovary metastasis rate of cervical adenocarcinoma in this study was 4.95%, while it is only 2% in stage IB1. Pathological grade, LSVI, lymph node status, tumor size, depth of stromal invasion, and involvement of the junction of the cervix and the body of the uterus were associated with ovarian metastasis, while LSVI, lymph node status, depth of stromal invasion, and involvement of the junction of the cervix and the body of the uterus were associated with ovarian metastasis in stage IB. Multivariate analysis revealed that LVSI and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for ovarian metastasis in all stages of cervical adenocarcinoma, but involvement of the junction of the cervix and the body of the uterus was an independent risk factor for ovarian metastasis in stage IB. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of ovarian metastasis in cervical adenocarcinoma is low. Our study suggests that ovarian preservation is safe and feasible in patients with no risk factors for ovarian metastasis. Further prospective studies are warranted.
