Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess survival outcomes of stage IA3 endometrial cancer and the association of adjuvant therapy and survival. METHODS The National Cancer Database was retrospectively queried to examine 594 and 1455 patients with stage IA3 and IIIA1 endometrial cancer, respectively, from 2010-2015. Overall survival (OS) was examined based on adjuvant therapy: multimodal combination chemotherapy and external beam radiotherapy, chemotherapy alone, external beam radiotherapy alone, and none. RESULTS For stage IA3 disease, 109 (18.4%) patients did not receive adjuvant therapy. The 5-year OS rates for the no adjuvant therapy group and the combination group were 86.3% and 91.4%, respectively (adjusted-hazard ratio [aHR] 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.70-2.18). This survival association was consistent when compared to chemotherapy alone (5-year OS rates 86.3% vs 86.3%, aHR 1.11, 95%CI 0.67-1.83). The results were similar among those who underwent nodal evaluation (5-year OS rates, 92.6%, 86.6%, and 89.4% for combination therapy, chemotherapy alone, and no adjuvant therapy), including grade 1 lesions (96.2%, 89.4%, and 100%, respectively). In grade 2 lesions, 5-year OR rates was modestly lower for no adjuvant therapy than combination therapy (89.4%, 84.0%, and 82.7% for combination, chemotherapy alone, and no adjuvant therapy, P = 0.03). For stage IIIA1 disease, omission of adjuvant therapy was associated with decreased OS compared to combination therapy (43.2% vs 73.1%, aHR 1.65, 95%CI 1.30-2.11) or chemotherapy alone (43.2% vs 67.1%, aHR 1.62, 95%CI 1.32-1.99). CONCLUSION The results of this investigation suggest that survival effects of adjuvant therapy differ for stage IA3 and IIIA1 diseases. Patients with stage IA3 disease have overall good prognosis regardless of adjuvant therapy particularly grade 1 lesions, partly supporting the FIGO committee suggestion for adjuvant therapy de-escalation in stage IA3 endometrial cancer.

Dedifferentiated and Undifferentiated Ovarian Carcinoma: An Aggressive and Molecularly Distinct Ovarian Tumor Characterized by Frequent SWI/SNF Complex Inactivation. Mod Pathol 2024; 37:100374. [PMID: 37925057 DOI: 10.1016/j.modpat.2023.100374] [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: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
Dedifferentiated and undifferentiated ovarian carcinomas (DDOC/UDOC) are rare neoplasms defined by the presence of an undifferentiated carcinoma. In this study, we detailed the clinical, pathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of a series of DDOC/UDOC. We collected a multi-institutional cohort of 23 DDOC/UDOC and performed immunohistochemistry for core switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) complex proteins (ARID1A, ARID1B, SMARCA4, and SMARCB1), mismatch repair (MMR) proteins, and p53. Array-based genome-wide DNA methylation and copy number variation analyses were performed on a subset of cases with comparison made to a previously reported cohort of undifferentiated endometrial carcinoma (UDEC), small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), and tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). The age of all 23 patients with DDOC/UDOC ranged between 22 and 71 years (with an average age of 50 years), and a majority of them presented with extraovarian disease (16/23). Clinical follow-up was available for 19 patients. Except for 2 patients, the remaining 17 patients died from disease, with rapid disease progression resulting in mortality within a year in stage II-IV settings (median disease-specific survival of 3 months). Eighteen of 22 cases with interpretable immunohistochemistry results showed loss of expression of core SWI/SNF protein(s) that are expected to result in SWI/SNF complex inactivation as 10 exhibited coloss of ARID1A and ARID1B, 7 loss of SMARCA4, and 1 loss of SMARCB1. Six of 23 cases were MMR-deficient. Two of 20 cases exhibited mutation-type p53 immunoreactivity. Methylation profiles showed coclustering of DDOC/UDOC with UDEC, which collectively were distinct from SCCOHT and HGSC. However, DDOC/UDOC showed an intermediate degree of copy number variation, which was slightly greater, compared with SCCOHT but much less compared with HGSC. Overall, DDOC/UDOC, like its endometrial counterpart, is highly aggressive and is characterized by frequent inactivation of core SWI/SNF complex proteins and MMR deficiency. Its molecular profile overlaps with UDEC while being distinct from SCCOHT and HGSC.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies have demonstrated that co-occurring sporadic endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC) and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EOC) are clonally related, suggesting that they originate from a single primary tumor. Despite clonality, synchronous EEC and EOC when diagnosed at early stage behave indolently, similar to isolated primary EEC or isolated primary EOC. In the present study, we compared the DNA methylation signatures of co-occurring EEC and EOC with those of isolated primary EEC and isolated primary EOC. We also performed targeted NGS to assess the clonal relatedness of 7 co-occurring EEC and EOC (4 synchronous EEC and EOC and 3 metastatic EEC based on pathologic criteria). NGS confirmed a clonal relationship in all co-occurring EEC and EOC. DNA methylation profiling showed distinct epigenetic signatures of isolated primary EEC and isolated primary EOC. Endometrial tumors from co-occurring EEC and EOC clustered with isolated primary EEC while their ovarian counterparts clustered with isolated primary EOC. Three co-occurring EEC and EOC cases with peritoneal lesions showed a closer epigenetic signature and copy number variation profile between the peritoneal lesion and EOC than EEC. In conclusion, synchronous sporadic EEC and EOC are clonally related but demonstrate a shift in DNA methylation signatures between ovarian and endometrial tumors as well as epigenetic overlap between ovarian and peritoneal tumors. Our results suggest that tumor microenvironment in the ovary may play a role in epigenetic modulation of metastatic EEC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancer (SEOC) is a rare genital tract tumor. Precise diagnosis is crucial for the disease management since prognosis and overall survival differ substantially between metastatic endometrial cancer (EC) or OC. In this review we present 2 cases of women who were diagnosed with SEOC, and discuss the clinical characteristic of SEOC, diagnostic and molecular profiling issues. Next generation sequencing of 10 gene panel was performed on cancerous tissue and uterine lavage samples.
CASE SUMMARY In our report patients with SEOC had endometroid type histology with early stage and low-grade histology for both EC and OC. They underwent surgical treatment and staging. Next-generation sequencing of 10 gene-panel identified CTNNB1, PIK3CA, and PTEN gene mutations in ovarian tissue in one case, while none of these genes were mutated in other case. Literature review in support to our data suggest a good prognosis for SEOC diagnosed at early stage.
CONCLUSION Accurate diagnosis of SEOC is essential for disease management and gene mutation analysis can be helpful as a complementary diagnostic and prognostic tool.

Abstract
The aim of our study is to present the particularities of a specific subset of gynecological cancer patients in Romania. We present a review of synchronous gynecological neoplasia (SGN) treated in the Bucharest Oncological Institute's surgery departments over a decade. Between 2012 and 2022, 7419 female patients with genital malignancies were treated. We identified 36 patients with invasive synchronous primary gynecological cancers (0.5%) and 12 cases with one primary gynecological and another primary invasive pelvic cancer (rectal/bladder). All recurrent, metastatic, or metachronous tumors detected were excluded. Demographic data, personal history, presenting symptoms, pathologic findings, staging, treatment, and evolution for each case were recorded. Usually, the most common SGN association is between ovarian and endometrial cancer of endometrioid differentiation (low-grade malignancies with very good prognosis). However, we noticed that, given the particularities of the Romanian medical system, the most frequent association is between cervical and endometrial, followed by cervical and ovarian cancers. Moreover, the cancer stage at diagnosis is more advanced. In countries with low HPV vaccination rate and low adherence to screening programs, SGNs can present as extremely advanced cases and require extensive surgery (such as pelvic exenterations) to achieve radicality. This multimodal treatment in advanced cases with high tumor burden determines a reduction in survival, time until progression, and quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful pregnancy outcome in women with synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancers is very rare. We report successful pregnancy outcome in a young woman managed conservatively for synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancer. CASE PRESENTATION Thirty years old nulliparous lady presented following exploratory laparotomy, left salpingo-oophorectomy and hysteroscopic polypectomy for left adnexal mass. Histology revealed endometrioid carcinoma of left ovary and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in the resected polyp. She underwent staging laparotomy along with hysteroscopy which confirmed above findings without any evidence of further tumor spread. She was treated conservatively with high dose oral progestin (megestrol acetate, 160 mg) and leuprolide acetate 3.75 mg monthly injections for three months along with four cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel based chemotherapy followed by monthly injection of leuprolide for further three months. After failure of spontaneous conception, she underwent ovulation induction for six cycles along with intrauterine insemination which failed. She underwent in vitro fertilization with donor egg followed by elective cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation. She delivered a healthy baby of weight 2.7 kg. Intraoperatively 5 × 6 cm right ovarian cyst was found which drained chocolate coloured fluid on puncture and cystectomy was carried out. Histological examination revealed endometrioid cyst of right ovary. Uterus was spared as she wanted to preserve her fertility. She is being followed periodically and is normal nine months following delivery. She is on injection Depot medroxy progesterone acetate once every three months.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine characteristics and survival of patients who developed secondary ovarian cancer after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for a prior nonovarian pelvic malignancy. METHODS This is a population-based retrospective cohort study, querying the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result program from 1975 to 2016. 167,269 women who received EBRT for 7 malignancies (anus, rectum, bladder, cervix, uterus, vulva, or vagina) were examined to identify subsequent secondary ovarian cancer diagnosis after EBRT. Then, within the ovarian cancer cohort (n = 147,618), characteristics and survival of patients with secondary ovarian cancer after EBRT were compared to those with ovarian cancer who did not receive prior EBRT. RESULTS Following EBRT for a pelvic malignancy, 215 (1.3 per 1000) patients developed secondary ovarian cancer. Among those, the most frequent prior malignancy was cervical cancer (45.6%), followed by rectal cancer (20.9%). The median time from prior EBRT to secondary ovarian cancer was 8.8 years (interquartile range, 2.8-14.5). In multivariable analysis, patients with secondary ovarian cancer after EBRT were more likely to be older, and have a recent year of diagnosis, but less likely to have early-disease compared to ovarian cancer patients without prior EBRT (all, P < 0.05). In weighted model, patients with secondary ovarian cancer after EBRT had decreased overall survival compared to those with ovarian cancer without prior EBRT (5-year rates, 19.6% versus 39.9%, hazard ratio 1.62, 95% confidence interval 1.43-1.85). Similar association was observed in ages <70, ≥70, White, non-White, early-disease, and advanced-disease in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION Radiotherapy-related secondary ovarian cancer may be associated with decreased overall survival.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries and approximately 7% of the women with endometrial cancer are below the age of 45. Management of endometrial cancer in young women who desire to maintain fertility presents a unique set of challenges since the standard surgical treatment based on hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy is often not compatible with the patient's goals. A fertility-preserving approach can be considered in selected patients with early stage and low-grade endometrial cancer. An increasing amount of data suggest that oncologic outcomes are not compromised if a conservative approach is utilized with close monitoring until childbearing is completed. If a fertility-preserving approach is not possible, assisted reproductive technologies can assist patients in achieving their fertility goals.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine incidence and characteristics of women who developed secondary breast cancer after uterine cancer. METHODS This is a population-based retrospective cohort study utilizing the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result Program from 1973 to 2013. Women with uterine cancer who did not have synchronous or a history of breast cancer were followed after their uterine cancer diagnosis (N = 236,561). A time-dependent competing risk analysis was performed to examine cumulative incidences and clinico-pathological characteristics of those who subsequently developed breast cancer. RESULTS There were 7110 (3.0%) women who developed secondary breast cancers after uterine cancer with 5-, 10-, and 20-year cumulative incidence rates of 1.5, 2.8, and 4.7%, respectively. The increase in the rate of secondary breast cancer was particularly high in the first 3 years after a uterine cancer diagnosis (annual percent change [APC] 4.9), followed by 3-7 years (APC 1.6) after diagnosis (P < 0.001). The median time to develop secondary breast cancer was 6.4 years. Older women had significantly shorter time intervals between uterine and breast cancer diagnoses (3.7 years for aged > 71, 5.9 for aged 64-71, 7.6 for aged 56-63, and 9.4 for aged < 56, P < 0.001). In a multivariable analysis, older age, White race, married status, endometrioid, serous, and mixed histology types, and early-stage tumors remained as independent factors of developing secondary breast cancer (all, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Tumor factors with endometrioid and serous histology types and early-stage disease were the factors associated with secondary breast cancer after uterine cancer diagnosis. Older women had shorter time to develop secondary breast cancer.

Abstract
Malignant Brenner tumor (MBT) of the ovary is a rare malignant ovarian tumor, whereas uterine corpus endometrioid carcinoma (UEC) constitutes one of the most common malignant tumors of the female reproductive system. The present study reported on a case of the coexistence of ovarian MBT and borderline mucinous cystadenoma combined with primary UEC. Therefore, the present case is a synchronous primary cancer of both ovary and endometrium. Although synchronous primary cancers of the endometrium and ovary are relatively uncommon, they are not rare; however, due to the rarity of MBT, this case was considered singular. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first-ever reported case of the coexistence of an ovarian MBT and borderline mucinous cystadenoma combined with primary UEC. Based on a review of the literature associated with the present case, its clinicopathological features, immunohistochemical phenotype, differential diagnosis, molecular changes, prognosis and treatment were summarized and discussed. The aim of the present study was to improve the understanding of this rare synchronous primary cancer of the ovary and endometrium so as to avoid future misdiagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current clinical practice guidelines for endometrial cancer specify sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy to be performed in apparent uterine-confined disease. However, a recent population-based analysis found that the utilization of SLN biopsy is increasing in extra-uterine disease such as T2 classification. The objective of this study was to examine trends and outcomes related to SLN biopsy for endometrial cancer with T3 classification, another extra-uterine disease. METHODS A population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted to examine 7004 women with T3 endometrial cancer who underwent primary surgery between 2010 and 2018, identified in the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. Trends and characteristics related to SLN biopsy were assessed by multinomial regression analysis, and inverse probability of treatment weighting propensity score was used to assess overall survival related to SLN biopsy. RESULTS Nodal evaluation type included lymphadenectomy (n = 5276, 75.3%), SLN biopsy (n = 287, 4.1%), and none (n = 1441, 20.6%). The utilization of SLN biopsy increased from 0.4% to 12.9% between 2010 and 2018 (P < 0.001) that this association remained independent in multivariable analysis (adjusted-odds ratio compared to 2010-2012, 2.63 [95% confidence interval 1.57-4.42] for 2013-2015 and 10.1 [95% confidence interval 6.30-16.2] for 2016-2018). When compared to the lymphadenectomy group, the SLN biopsy group was less likely to have T3b disease (adjusted-odds ratio 0.69, 95% confidence interval 0.51-0.94) but had similar postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy (both, P > 0.05). In a weighted model, the 3-year overall survival rate was 66.3% for the SLN biopsy group and 64.7% for the lymphadenectomy group (hazard ratio 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.69-1.05). Similar association was observed in subcohorts for young, old, endometrioid, non-endometrioid, T3a, T3b, and N0 cases. CONCLUSION Utilization of SLN biopsy in T3 endometrial cancer is increasing in the United States.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine trends, characteristics, and oncologic outcomes of sentinel lymph node biopsy for early endometrial cancer. METHODS This observational study queried the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program by examining 83,139 women with endometrial cancer who underwent primary hysterectomy with nodal evaluation for T1 disease from 2003 to 2018. Primary outcome measures were the temporal trends in utilization of sentinel lymph node biopsy and patient characteristics associated with sentinel lymph node biopsy use, assessed by multivariable binary logistic regression models. Secondary outcome measure was endometrial cancer-specific mortality associated with sentinel lymph node biopsy, assessed by propensity score inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS The utilization of sentinel lymph node biopsy increased from 0.2 to 29.7% from 2005 to 2018 (P<.001). The uptake was higher for women with endometrioid (0.3-31.6% between 2005 and 2018) compared with nonendometrioid (0.6-21.0% between 2006 and 2018) histologic subtypes (both P<.001). In a multivariable analysis, more recent year surgery, endometrioid histology, well-differentiated tumors, T1a disease, and smaller tumor size were independently associated with sentinel lymph node biopsy use (P<.05). Performance of sentinel lymph node biopsy was not associated with increased endometrial cancer-specific mortality compared with lymphadenectomy for endometrioid tumors (subdistribution hazard ratio [HR] 0.96, 95% CI 0.82-1.13) or nonendometrioid tumors (subdistribution HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.69-1.04). For low-risk endometrial cancer, the increase in sentinel lymph node biopsy resulted in a 15.3 percentage-point (1.4-fold) increase in surgical nodal evaluation by 2018 (expected vs observed rates, 37.8 vs 53.1%). CONCLUSION The landscape of surgical nodal evaluation is shifting from lymphadenectomy to sentinel lymph node biopsy for early endometrial cancer in the United States, with no indication of a negative effect on cancer-specific survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine trends and outcomes related to sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for stage II endometrial cancer. METHODS This is a retrospective observational cohort study querying the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. The study population was 6,314 women with T2 endometrial cancer who underwent hysterectomy from 2010-2018. Exposure allocation was based on nodal evaluation type: lymphadenectomy (LND; n=4,915, 77.8%), SLN biopsy (n=340, 5.4%), or no surgical nodal evaluation (n=1,059, 16.8%). The main outcomes were (i) trends and characteristics related to nodal evaluation assessed by multinomial regression, and (ii) overall survival (OS) assessed by an inverse probability of treatment weighting propensity score analysis. A sensitivity analysis was performed to examine concurrent LND in women who underwent SLN biopsy. RESULTS The utilization of SLN biopsy increased from 1.6% to 16.1%, while the number of LND decreased from 81.5% to 65.7% between 2010-2018 (P<0.05). In multivariable analysis, the utilization of SLN biopsy increased 45% annually (adjusted-odds ratio 1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.37-1.54, P<0.001). The frequency of SLN biopsy alone exceeded the frequency of SLN biopsy with concurrent LND in 2017 (6.8% versus 3.4%), followed by continued increase in SLN biopsy alone (11.2% versus 4.9%) in 2018. In the weighted model, the 3-year OS rate was 79.9% for the SLN biopsy group and 78.6% for the LND group (hazard ratio 0.98, 95%Cl 0.80-1.20, P=0.831). Similarly, the SLN biopsy alone without concurrent LND had comparable OS compared to the LND group (hazard ratio 0.90, 95%CI 0.59-1.36, P=0.615). CONCLUSION Utilization of SLN biopsy in stage II endometrial cancer increased significantly over time, and SLN biopsy-incorporated nodal assessment was not associated with worsened short-term survival outcome.

Abstract
In 2020, endometrial cancer continues to be the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States. The majority of endometrial cancer is low grade, and nearly 1 of every 8 low-grade endometrial cancer diagnoses occurs in women younger than 50 years with early-stage disease. The incidence of early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer is increasing particularly among women in their 30s. Women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer generally have a favorable prognosis, and hysterectomy-based surgical treatment alone can often be curative. In young women with endometrial cancer, consideration of ovarian conservation is especially relevant to avoid both the short-term and long-term sequelae of surgical menopause including menopausal symptoms, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, and osteoporosis. Although disadvantages of ovarian conservation include failure to remove ovarian micrometastasis (0.4%-0.8%), gross ovarian metastatic disease (4.2%), or synchronous ovarian cancer (3%-5%) at the time of surgery and the risk of future potential metachronous ovarian cancer (1.2%), ovarian conservation is not negatively associated with endometrial cancer-related or all-cause mortality in young women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer. Despite this, utilization of ovarian conservation for young women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer remains modest with only a gradual increase in uptake in the United States. We propose a framework and strategic approach to identify young women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer who may be candidates for ovarian conservation. This evidence-based schema consists of a 2-step assessment at both the preoperative and intraoperative stages that can be universally integrated into practice.

Abstract
Simple Summary Endometrial cancer is a common gynecological malignant disease. Its incidence in women of reproductive age in developed countries is increasing. The standard treatment is surgical in the form of hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which has a significant impact on the quality of women’s lives and precludes further fertility. Conservative management to preserve reproductive function and delay final surgery can today be considered in carefully selected women. We analyze the current approaches to select appropriate candidates and current medical regimens for fertility sparing management. We elaborate on the future perspectives of management. With better characterization of the disease and implementation of molecular biomarkers, more women should be able to benefit from conservative approaches to management of endometrial cancer. Abstract Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in developed countries. The disease is diagnosed with increasing frequency in younger women, commonly also in their reproductive age. The standard treatment of endometrial cancer is surgical in the form of hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and this precludes future fertility in younger women. The current challenge is to identify the group of women with endometrial cancer and low-risk features that would benefit from more conservative treatment options. More focus in management needs to be aimed towards the preservation of quality of life, without jeopardizing oncological outcomes. In this review, we analyze the current approaches to identification of women for conservative management and evaluate the success of different medical options for treatment and surgical techniques that are fertility sparing. We also elaborate on the future perspectives, focusing on the incorporation of molecular characterization of endometrial cancer to fertility preservation algorithms. Future studies should focus specifically on identifying reliable clinical and molecular predictive markers in this group of young women. With improved knowledge and better risk assessment, the precision medicine is the path towards improved understanding of the disease and possibly widening the group of women that could benefit from treatment methods preserving their fertility.

Abstract
SEO – synchronous endometrial ovarian cancer is a well-known phenomenon, which has
for years been managed as two primary independent cancers. The results of recent molecular
studies, especially next-generation sequencing, suggest that the condition should
be regarded as a continuum, with its origin probably lying in the endometrium or endometrial
foci. It has been found that 0.7% to 1.0% of endometriosis patients may develop
malignant lesions. Although SEO is being increasingly studied, diagnostics and treatment
still leave many questions. The most important thing is to improve the diagnosis with rapid
and simple detection. A few molecular methods are already known, but genetic diagnostic,
still remains unclear. Old criteria implemented by Scully in 1998 should be nowadays
complemented by immunohistochemical staining of estrogen and progestin receptors, bcl2
antibodies and molecular analyses of genes: B-catenin, PTEN, KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA and microsatellite
instability. Will genetic diagnostics preserve fertility in young patients with SEO?
This paper reviews relevant literature to determine a strategy for distinguishing between
SEO and metastatic cancers, and presents management options for patients with SEO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To examine the utility of a 3-tier schema (≤5 cm, 5.1-10 cm, and > 10 cm) in determining characteristics and survival in Stage I uterine leiomyosarcoma. METHODS This retrospective observational study queried the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result Program from 1988 to 2016. Surgically treated stage I uterine leiomyosarcomas with known tumor size were examined (N = 2217). Trends, characteristics, and survival were assessed based on tumor size. RESULTS The most common tumor size was 5.1-10 cm (45.7%) followed by >10 cm (35.0%) and ≤5 cm (19.4%). Tumor size-shift occurred during the study period; the percentage of tumor size >10 cm increased from 12.9% to 44.5% and the groups with smaller tumor sizes decreased (p < .001). In weighted models, 5-year overall survival rates ranged from 49.9% to 71.6% in the 3-tier system and 55.2%-70.6% in the 2-tier system: the absolute difference was larger in the 3-tier system (21.7% vs. 15.4%). In the 3-tier system, all-cause mortality risk of tumor size >10 cm versus ≤5 cm nearly doubled (hazard ratio 1.96, 95% confidence interval 1.78-2.16). CONCLUSION In the past decades, tumors of stage I uterine leiomyosarcoma have become larger. Our study suggests that a tumor size-based 3-tier staging system may be useful to differentiate survival in stage I uterine leiomyosarcoma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hysterectomy is traditionally part of the surgical treatment for advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian carcinomas, although the incidence of uterine involvement has not been fully investigated. Some young patients with advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian carcinomas want uterine preservation. We aimed to determine the frequency of non-serosal (deep) uterine involvement in patients with high-grade epithelial ovarian carcinomas and to establish predictive factors for such involvement. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed of 366 consecutive patients with advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian carcinomas who had surgery between January 2012 and December 2019. Data collected included demographic and clinical details, and surgical and pathological reports to determine macroscopic and microscopic deep uterine involvement. The characteristics of the patients with and without deep uterine involvement were compared and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess correlations and determine risk factors. RESULTS A total of 311 patients were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 62±11.6 years, with 32 (10.3%) being younger than 45. Most (92.3%) had serous carcinoma. Uterine involvement, excluding superficial (serosa-only), was present microscopically in 194 patients (62.4%) but was detected macroscopically at surgery in only 166 patients. Deep involvement was missed at surgery in 28 patients (14.4%), including parametrial involvement (n=18), parametria plus cervix (n=2), cervical involvement (n=3), endometrium (n=3), and myometrium (n=2). Multivariate analysis identified factors associated with deep uterine involvement including residual disease at surgery (HR 2.43, 95% CI 1.13 to 4.48; p=0.004) and CA125 >1000 U (HR 1.8, 95% CI 1.09 to 2.94; p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of deep uterine involvement in high-grade epithelial ovarian carcinomas is high. It can be diagnosed in most but not all cases on gross examination at surgery and is associated with residual disease and CA125 >1000 U. Patients who desire uterine preservation should be advised on an individual basis, given these factors and the operative findings.

[PMID: 33033501 PMCID: PMC7532502 DOI: 10.7150/jca.46584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: With the improvement in the prognostic outcomes of multiple malignancies, the population of cancer survivors is growing rapidly and is at higher risk of developing secondary ovarian cancer. However, the prevalence and clinical outcomes of prior cancer among newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients remain unknown. Methods: Patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2004 and 2015 were identified using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether there was a prior malignancy. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to calculate all-cause and ovarian-specific survival. Furthermore, we conducted subgroup survival analyses of patients stratified by previous cancer site to explore the associations between prior cancer site and survival outcomes. Results: A total of 52,182 patients with primary ovarian cancer were identified, and 3.6% (n=1,860) had a documented prior malignancy. In multivariate analyses, patients with prior malignancies had a worse all-cause and ovarian cancer-specific prognosis than those without. In subset analyses, patients with a history of thyroid cancer had a better all-cause and ovarian cancer-specific prognosis, and patients with prior colorectal, urinary system, skin, lung, haematologic and stomach cancers were at risk of decreased survival compared to that of patients without a prior cancer. Conclusions: Prior malignancy has an adverse impact on the survival of patients with ovarian cancer, and the impact on prognostic outcomes varies by different prior cancer sites. The inconsistent survival effects of previous malignancies should be considered in clinical trial design and recruitment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the survival of women with stage I non-endometrioid endometrial cancer with malignant peritoneal cytology. METHODS A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted to examine the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program from 2010 to 2016. Women with stage I serous, clear cell, carcinosarcoma, undifferentiated, and mixed endometrial cancer with known peritoneal cytology results at hysterectomy were examined (N = 4506). Propensity score inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to balance the measured covariates, and survival outcomes were assessed according to peritoneal cytology results. RESULTS Malignant peritoneal cytology was reported in 401 (8.9%) women. In multivariable analysis, older age, serous histology, and large tumors were associated with an increased likelihood of malignant peritoneal cytology (all, P < 0.05). In a propensity score weighted model, malignant peritoneal cytology was associated with a nearly two-fold increase in all-cause mortality risk compared to negative peritoneal cytology (5-year rates, 63.4% versus 80.2%, hazard ratio 2.18, 95% confidence interval 1.78-2.66). In sensitivity analyses, malignant peritoneal cytology was associated with decreased overall survival in old and young age groups, serous, clear cell, carcinosarcoma, and mixed histology groups, stage T1a disease, and staged and unstaged cases, but not for stage T1b disease. Difference in 5-year overall survival rates between the malignant and negative peritoneal cytology groups was particularly large among those with clear cell histology (24.0%), stage T1a disease (19.4%), aged >78 years (18.2%), and serous tumors (17.6%). CONCLUSION Malignant peritoneal cytology can be prevalent in stage I non-endometrioid endometrial cancer. Our study suggests that malignant peritoneal cytology is a prognostic factor for decreased survival in stage I non-endometrioid endometrial cancer.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the fifth most common cancer in women worldwide. Global estimates show rising incidence rates in both developed and developing countries. Most women are diagnosed postmenopausal, but 14–25% of patients are premenopausal and 5% are under 40 years of age. Established risk factors include age and hyperestrogenic status associated with nulliparity, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Standard treatment for EC, which involves total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, has excellent survival outcomes, particularly for low-grade endometrioid tumors. However, it leads to permanent loss of fertility among women who wish to preserve their reproductive potential. With current trends of reproductive-age women delaying childbearing, rising EC incidence rates, and a growing epidemic of obesity, particularly in developed countries, research on conservative non-surgical treatment approaches remains a top priority. Fertility-sparing treatment predominantly involves the use of oral progestins and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices, which have been shown to be feasible and safe in women with early stage EC and minimal or no myometrial invasion. However, data on the efficacy and safety of conservative management strategies are primarily based on retrospective studies. Randomized clinical trials in younger women and high-risk obese patients are currently underway. Here, we have presented a comprehensive review of the current literature on conservative, fertility-sparing approaches, defining the optimal candidates and evaluating tumor characteristics, reproductive and oncologic outcomes, and ongoing clinical trials. We have also summarized current guidelines and recommendations based on the published literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To examine the association between malignant peritoneal cytology and survival in women with early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program from 2010 to 2016. Women with stage I endometrioid endometrial cancer who had peritoneal cytology testing at hysterectomy were examined (N = 24,800). Characteristics and survival related to malignant peritoneal cytology were assessed. The propensity score inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to balance the measured covariates. FINDINGS Malignant peritoneal cytology was reported in 1081 (4.4%) women. In multivariable analysis, stage IB disease and moderately/poorly differentiated tumours were associated with an increased likelihood of malignant peritoneal cytology (both P < 0.05). In a weighted model, malignant peritoneal cytology was associated with decreased cause-specific survival (5-year rates, 92.1% versus 96.8%, hazard ratio [HR] 1.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.56-2.52) and overall survival (89.4% versus 93.1%, HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.16-1.72). In sensitivity analyses, malignant peritoneal cytology was associated with decreased overall survival in the high-intermediate-risk group (5-year rates, 77.8% versus 83.6%, HR 1.57, 95% CI 1.20-2.06) and decreased cause-specific survival in the low-risk group (95.4% versus 98.0%, HR 1.64, 95% CI 1.01-2.68). In the high-intermediate-risk group with malignant peritoneal cytology, postoperative chemotherapy was associated with improved overall survival compared to whole pelvic radiotherapy (5-year rates, 82.7% versus 64.6%, HR 0.36, 95% CI 0.14-0.96). This association was not observed in negative cytology cases (81.5% versus 79.7%, HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.53-1.14). INTERPRETATION Malignant peritoneal cytology may be associated with decreased survival in stage I endometrioid endometrial cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine trends, characteristics and outcomes of women who develop both ovarian and breast cancers. METHODS This is a retrospective study examining the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program from 1973 to 2013. Among ovarian cancer (n = 133,149) and breast cancer (n = 1,143,219) cohorts, women with both diagnoses were identified and temporal trends, tumor characteristics and survival were examined. RESULTS There were 6446 women with both malignancies, representing 4.8% of the ovarian cancer cohort and 0.6% of the breast cancer cohort. Women with ovarian cancer who had secondary breast cancer were younger than those without secondary breast cancer early in the study period (52.3 versus 59.2 in 1973) but older in more recent years (68.5 versus 62.1 in 2013, P < 0.001). The number of breast cancer survivors who developed postcedent ovarian cancer decreased from 1.5 to 0.2% from 1979 to 2008 (relative risk reduction 90.0%, P < 0.05). Similarly, the number of ovarian cancer survivors who developed postcedent breast cancer decreased from 7.2 to 2.0% from 1973 to 2008 (relative risk reduction 72.4%, P < 0.05). Tumor characteristics were more likely to be favorable in women with ovarian cancer who developed postcedent breast cancer but unfavorable in those who had antecedent breast cancer (all, P < 0.05). Women with ovarian cancer who had secondary breast cancer had superior cause-specific survival compared to those who did not develop breast cancer regardless of breast cancer timing (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that the demographics of women who develop breast cancer and ovarian cancer have changed over time and diagnosis of secondary breast cancer after ovarian cancer has decreased.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between ovarian conservation and oncologic outcome in surgically-treated young women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer. METHODS This multicenter retrospective study examined women aged <50 with stage I grade 1-2 endometrioid endometrial cancer who underwent primary surgery with hysterectomy from 2000 to 2014 (US cohort n = 1196, and Japan cohort n = 495). Recurrence patterns, survival, and the presence of a metachronous secondary malignancy were assessed based on ovarian conservation versus oophorectomy. RESULTS During the study period, the ovarian conservation rate significantly increased in the US cohort from 5.4% to 16.4% (P = 0.020) whereas the rate was unchanged in the Japan cohort (6.3-8.7%, P = 0.787). In the US cohort, ovarian conservation was not associated with disease-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.829, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.188-3.663, P = 0.805), overall survival (HR not estimated, P = 0.981), or metachronous secondary malignancy (HR 1.787, 95% CI 0.603-5.295, P = 0.295). In the Japan cohort, ovarian conservation was associated with decreased disease-free survival (HR 5.214, 95% CI 1.557-17.464, P = 0.007) and an increased risk of a metachronous secondary malignancy, particularly ovarian cancer (HR 7.119, 95% CI 1.349-37.554, P = 0.021), but was not associated with overall survival (HR not estimated, P = 0.987). Ovarian recurrence or metachronous secondary ovarian cancer occurred after a median time of 5.9 years, and all cases were salvaged. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that adoption of ovarian conservation in young women with early-stage low-grade endometrial cancer varies by population. Ovarian conservation for young women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer may be potentially associated with increased risks of ovarian recurrence or metachronous secondary ovarian cancer in certain populations; nevertheless, ovarian conservation did not negatively impact overall survival.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the female reproductive system in the developed countries. Metformin is a widely used medication that has been prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes. In recent years, metformin has been found to improve the survival prognosis of cancer patients clinically. We aimed to investigate inhibition of metformin on the proliferation of endometrial carcinoma. Metformin was used to treat endometrial cancer cell lines Ishikawa and RL95-2. The expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in the treated cells was assessed by western blot. The tumor cell proliferation was evaluated by colony formation assay. The binding between PD-L1 and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was identified by co-immunoprecipitation. Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells were co-cultured with activated T cells to detect the survival of Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells in the presence or absence of metformin. Our results showed that metformin treatment on endometrial cancer cells Ishikawa and RL95-2 decreased the expression level of PD-L1 protein. Metformin treatment significantly activated T cells against Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells. We demonstrated that the inhibition of PD-L1 by metformin is dependent on the AMPK signaling protein, and that metformin promotes direct binding of the AMPK protein to the PD-L1 protein. We confirmed that metformin, a conventional medication used in diabetes therapy, holds anti-tumor activity in endometrial cancer. The suppression of metformin is relevant to the inhibition of PD-L1 expression and the activation of AMPK signaling protein, providing a novel mechanism in the anti-tumor property of metformin.

Decreasing secondary primary uterine cancer after breast cancer: A population-based analysis. Gynecol Oncol 2019; 154:169-176. [PMID: 31130286 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2019.05.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2019] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 05/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report population-based statistics of women with uterine cancer and a history of prior breast cancer. METHODS This is a retrospective study examining the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program between 1973 and 2013. Temporal trends, clinico-pathological characteristics, and survival of women with uterine cancer who had prior breast cancer were assessed. RESULTS Among 237,686 women with uterine cancer, 8235 (3.5%) women had antecedent breast cancer. The number of women with uterine cancer who had a history of breast cancer increased between 1975 and 1989 (21.1-fold relative risk-increase, P < 0.001) and then decreased between 1989 and 2013 (relative risk-reduction [RRR] 11.1%, P = 0.008). The number of uterine cancer among breast cancer survivors decreased between 1990 and 2008 (RRR, 86.0%, P < 0.001). Women with uterine cancer and antecedent breast cancer were more likely to be older and white compared to those without a history of breast cancer (P < 0.05). Uterine tumors after breast cancer were more likely to have serous (10.5% versus 5.7%), carcinosarcoma (8.9% versus 4.4%), or clear cell (2.1% versus 1.2%) histology and present with grade 3 (30.8% versus 21.5%) and stage I disease (64.6% versus 62.5%) compared to tumors in women without breast cancer (all, P < 0.05). After propensity score matching, women with uterine cancer after breast cancer were less likely to die from uterine cancer (adjusted-hazard ratio [HR] 0.675) but more likely to die from other malignancies (adjusted-HR 4.090), particularly breast cancer, and had poorer overall survival (adjusted-HR 1.154) compared to those without breast cancer. CONCLUSION The diagnosis of uterine cancer after breast cancer is decreasing. While uterine tumors following breast cancer are associated with high-risk tumor characteristics, women with uterine cancer after breast cancer are more likely to die from other malignancies.

Decreasing Trends of Secondary Primary Colorectal Cancer among Women with Uterine Cancer: A Population-Based Analysis. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8050714. [PMID: 31137471 PMCID: PMC6571981 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8050714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2019] [Revised: 05/06/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The current study examined trends, characteristics, and outcomes of women with uterine cancer who had secondary colorectal cancer. This is a retrospective study utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program between 1973-2013. Among uterine cancer (n = 246,272) and colorectal cancer (n = 421,312) cohorts, women with both diagnoses were identified, and clinico-pathological factors and survival were extracted and analyzed. There were 6862 women with both cancer diagnoses, representing 2.8% of the uterine cancer cohort and 1.6% of the colorectal cancer cohort. Among 123,940 women with uterine cancer survivors, the number with postcedent colorectal cancer decreased from 5.3% to 0.7% between 1981-2008 (relative risk reduction 87.0% p < 0.001). Similarly, of 141,801 women with colorectal cancer survivors, the number with postcedent uterine cancer decreased from 1.7% to 0.5% between 1973-2008 (relative risk reduction 71.6%, p < 0.001). In the uterine cancer cohort, women with antecedent/synchronous colorectal cancer had more high-grade tumors and advanced-stage disease resulting in poorer survival, whereas those who had postcedent colorectal cancer had more low-grade tumors and early-stage disease resulting in superior survival compared to those without secondary colorectal cancer (all, p < 0.05). In conclusion, the development of postcedent colorectal cancer following uterine cancer has decreased in recent years in the United States.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To profile patient characteristics associated with and outcomes of ovarian conservation at the time of hysterectomy in young women with minimal-risk endometrial cancer. METHODS A population-based retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2007 and 2015 was performed. Women aged <50 with minimal-risk endometrial cancer who had ovarian conservation (n = 2314) were compared to those who had oophorectomy (n = 8191). A classification-tree model with recursive partitioning analysis was constructed to examine patterns of ovarian conservation. Propensity score matching was performed and length of stay and perioperative complications were compared. Two validation cohorts were also analyzed in a similar fashion (benign gynecologic disease and cervical cancer). RESULTS There were nine distinct patterns of patient characteristics identified, and ovarian conservation rates ranged from 11.7% (women aged 40-49 who underwent abdominal hysterectomy at an urban teaching hospital) to 60.5% (non-obese women aged <40 with median household income ≥$63,000) (absolute difference, 48.8%, 95% confidence interval 39.9-57.7; P < 0.001). After propensity score matching, ovarian conservation was significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of hospitalization >2 days (relative risk reduction, 16.7%, P < 0.001). Rates of surgical complications were not different between the two groups (8.2% versus 8.3%, P = 0.91). In the benign gynecologic disease and cervical cancer cohorts, ovarian conservation was also associated with decreased length of hospitalization (all, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION There is substantial variability in the utilization of ovarian conservation in young women with minimal-risk endometrial cancer based on patient, surgical, and hospital factors. Our study suggests that guidelines for ovarian conservation in this population would be helpful for improving patient selection and rates of ovarian conservation.

Gynecol Oncol 2018; 151:250-256.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine survival of women who develop metachronous uterine malignancy after definitive pelvic radiotherapy for cervical cancer. METHODS This retrospective observational study examined the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program between 1973 and 2013. Women with cervical cancer who received definitive radiotherapy without hysterectomy were examined for the diagnosis of metachronous uterine malignancy (n = 5277). Survival was compared between metachronous and non-metachronous uterine malignancies according to tumor factors. RESULTS The 10- and 20-year cumulative incidences of metachronous uterine malignancy were 0.6% and 1.2%, respectively. When compared to non-metachronous uterine malignancy, metachronous tumor were more likely to be non-endometrioid and advanced-stage (both, P < 0.001). As a whole cohort, metachronous uterine malignancy was significantly associated with decreased overall survival (OS) compared to non-metachronous tumors (hazard ratio [HR] 4.22, P < 0.001). OS was significantly worse in metachronous compared to non-metachronous malignancies, although the magnitude of statistical significance was greater for endometrioid tumors (HRs for endometrioid versus non-endometrioid: 6.17 versus 1.92). For grade 1-2 endometrial cancer, metachronous cases had significantly decreased OS compared to non-metachronous cases, a larger difference than that seen in higher grade tumors (HRs for grade 1-2 versus 3: 7.79 versus 2.15). Similarly, in early-stage endometrial cancer, metachronous cases had significantly decreased OS, with a greater HR compared to advanced-stage disease (HRs for stage I-II versus III-IV: 5.29 versus 2.29). CONCLUSION Radiotherapy-associated metachronous uterine malignancy after cervical cancer is rare but commonly presents with aggressive tumor characteristics. The impact on survival is considerably high when metachronous uterine malignancy is endometrioid, low-grade, and early-stage.
