Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) poses a significant health issue among women, and its incidence has been rising for a couple of decades. Surgery remains its principal treatment method and may have a curative, staging, or palliative aim. The type and extent of surgery depends on many factors, and the risks and benefits should be carefully weighed. While simple hysterectomy might be sufficient in early stage EC, modified-radical hysterectomy is sometimes indicated. In advanced disease, the evidence suggests that, similarly to ovarian cancer, optimal cytoreduction improves survival rate. The role of lymphadenectomy in EC patients has long been a controversial issue. The rationale for systematic lymphadenectomy and the procedure of the sentinel lymph node biopsy are thoroughly discussed. Finally, the impact of the molecular classification and new International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system on EC treatment is outlined. Due to the increasing knowledge on the pathology and molecular features of EC, as well as the new advances in the adjuvant therapies, the surgical management of EC has become more complex. In the modern approach, it is essential to adjust the extent of the surgery to a specific patient, ensuring an optimal, made-to-measure personalized surgery. This narrative review focuses on the intricacies of surgical management of EC and aims at summarizing the available literature on the subject, providing an up-to-date clinical guide.

Maudsley J, Clifford RE, Aziz O, Sutton PA. A systematic review of oncosurgical and quality of life outcomes following pelvic exenteration for locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer. Ann R Coll Surg Engl 2024.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pelvic exenteration (PE) is now the standard of care for locally advanced (LARC) and locally recurrent (LRRC) rectal cancer. Reports of the significant short-term morbidity and survival advantage conferred by R0 resection are well established. However, longer-term outcomes are rarely addressed. This systematic review focuses on long-term oncosurgical and quality of life (QoL) outcomes following PE for rectal cancer. METHODS A systematic review of the PubMed®, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE® and Embase® databases was conducted, in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Studies were included if they reported long-term outcomes following PE for LARC or LRRC. Studies with fewer than 20 patients were excluded. FINDINGS A total of 25 papers reported outcomes for 5,489 patients. Of these, 4,744 underwent PE for LARC (57.5%) or LRRC (42.5%). R0 resection rates ranged from 23.2% to 98.4% and from 14.9% to 77.8% respectively. The overall morbidity rates were 17.8-87.0%. The median survival ranged from 12.5 to 140.0 months. None of these studies reported functional outcomes and only four studies reported QoL outcomes. Numerous different metrics and timepoints were utilised, with QoL scores frequently returning to baseline by 12 months. CONCLUSIONS This review demonstrates that PE is safe, with a good prospect of R0 resection and acceptable mortality rates in selected patients. Morbidity rates remain high, highlighting the importance of shared decision making with patients. Longer-term oncological outcomes as well as QoL and functional outcomes need to be addressed in future studies. Development of a core outcomes set would facilitate better reporting in this complex and challenging patient group.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4725. [PMID: 37835424 PMCID: PMC10571688 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15194725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Treatment options for recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma are limited. In those cases, secondary surgical procedures such as pelvic exenteration form the only possible curative approach. The aim of this study was analyzing the outcomes of patients who underwent pelvic exenteration during the treatment of recurrent endometrial cancer intending to identify prognostic factors. More than 300 pelvic exenterations were performed. Fifteen patients were selected that received pelvic exenteration for recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma. Data regarding patient characteristics, indication for surgery, complete cytoreduction, tumor grading and p53- and L1CAM-expression were collected and statistically evaluated. Univariate Cox regression was performed to identify predictive factors for long-term survival. The mean survival after pelvic exenteration for the whole patient population was 22.7 months, with the longest survival reaching up to 69 months. Overall survival was significantly longer for patients with a curative treatment intention (p = 0.015) and for patients with a well or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (p = 0.014). Complete cytoreduction seemed favorable with a mean survival of 32 months in contrast to 10 months when complete cytoreduction was not achieved. Pelvic exenteration is a possible treatment option for a selected group of patients resulting in a mean survival of nearly two years, offering a substantial prognostic improvement.

[PMID: 37637510 PMCID: PMC10449593 DOI: 10.1155/2023/9219067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to explore prognostic factors, develop and internally validate a prognostic nomogram model, and predict the cancer-specific survival (CCS) of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients with pelvic exenteration (PE) treatment. Methods A total of 454 EOC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were collected according to the inclusion criteria and randomly divided into the training (n = 317) and validation (n = 137) cohorts. Prognostic factors of EOC patients with PE treatment were explored by univariate and multivariate stepwise Cox regression analyses. A predictive nomogram was constructed based on selected risk factors. The predictive power of the constructed nomogram was assessed by the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve stratified by patients' nomoscore was also plotted to assess the risk stratification of the established nomogram. In internal validation, the C index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were employed to assess the discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of the models, respectively. Results In the training cohort, age, histological type, Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, number of examined lymph nodes, and number of positive lymph nodes were found to be independent prognostic factors of postoperative CSS. A practical nomogram model of EOC patients with PE treatment was constructed based on these selected risk factors. Time-dependent ROC curves and KM curves showed the superior predictive capability and excellent clinical stratification of the nomogram in both training and validation cohorts. In the internal validation, the C index, calibration plots, and DCA in the training and validation cohorts confirmed that the nomogram presents a high level of prediction accuracy and clinical applicability. Conclusion Our nomogram exhibited satisfactory survival prediction and prognostic discrimination. It is a user-friendly tool with high clinical pragmatism for estimating prognosis and guiding the long-term management of EOC patients with PE treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pelvic exenteration remains the only curative treatment for advanced pelvic malignancies. However, identification of predictive factors for successful surgical outcomes is still a controversial issue at present time. METHODS This retrospective study included data from all adult patients with colorectal or anal advanced pelvic malignancy registered for pelvic exenteration at the Leon Berard Cancer Center (Lyon, France). The primary endpoint was the surgical outcomes and aimed to define the predictive factors for postoperative complications. Secondary endpoints included overall survival and progression free survival in patients having experienced pelvic exenteration (PE). RESULTS Data from 141 patients with locally advanced tumor (N = 81) or recurrent malignancies (N = 60) diagnosed between May 1994 and November 2018 were collected. The median age was 63.3 years (95%CI 20.0-92.0). Malignancies included different locations (rectal: 69.5%, left colon: 17.0% and anal: 13.5%). Posterior pelvectomy was the most frequent surgery (81.6%). The median length of hospital stay was 23.3 days (95%CI 3.0-82.0). The major complication rate at 30 days was 24.8% and 38.1% at 90 days. The median overall survival was 54.5 months (95%CI 41.5-104.1) and the median PFS was 34.5 months (95%CI 19.6-NA). CONCLUSION In selected patients, pelvic exenteration is associated with good surgical and survival outcomes.

A systematic review of the pathological determinants of outcome following resection by pelvic exenteration of locally advanced and locally recurrent rectal cancer. Int J Surg 2022; 104:106738. [PMID: 35781038 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2022.106738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite multimodal therapy 5-15% of patients who undergo resection for advanced rectal cancer (LARC) will develop local recurrence. Management of locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) presents a significant therapeutic challenge and even with modern exenterative surgery, 5-year survival rates are poor at 25-50%. High rates of local and systemic recurrence in this cohort are reflective of the likely biological aggressiveness of these tumour types. This review aims to appraise the current literature identifying pathological factors associated with survival and tumour recurrence in patients undergoing exenterative surgery. METHODS A systematic review was carried out searching MEDLINE, EMBASE and COCHRANE Trials database for all studies assessing pathological factors influencing survival following pelvic exenteration for LARC or LRRC from 2010 to July 2021 following PRISMA guidelines. Risk of bias was assessed using QUIPS tool. RESULTS Nine cohort studies met inclusion criteria, reporting outcomes for 2864 patients. Meta-analysis was not possible due to significant heterogeneity of reported outcomes. Resection margin status and nodal disease were the most commonly reported factors. A positive resection margin was demonstrated to be a negative prognostic marker in six studies. Involved lymph nodes and lymphovascular invasion also appear to be negative prognostic markers with tumour stage to be of lesser importance. No studies assessed other adverse tumour features that would not otherwise be included in a standard histopathology report. CONCLUSION Pathological resection margin status is widely demonstrated to influence disease free and overall survival following pelvic exenteration for rectal cancer. With increasing R0 rates, other adverse tumour features must be explored to help elucidate differences in survival and potentially guide tailored oncological treatment.

[PMID: 35565474 PMCID: PMC9104974 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14092346] [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: 04/19/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Considerable efforts have been carried out over the past 30 years to support patients with advanced cervical cancer. Throughout this time, Eastern European countries have been left aside from the decision-making groups on this matter, hence the absence of similar studies in this geographical area. In these countries, the quality of life (QoL) of patients with cervical cancer might be considered a “caprice”, and the discomforts they encounter following pelvic exenteration for cervical cancer are often perceived as a “normal phenomenon”. Methods: This study examined forty-seven patients submitted to pelvic exenteration followed up for nine years after the surgical intervention. The first objective of this study is to identify the prognostic factors that influence the overall survival (OS) of patients undergoing pelvic exenteration for FIGO stage IVA, recurrent or persistent cervical cancer after previous conclusive treatments. The second objective is to assess the QoL of the surviving patients using the QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CX24 standardized questionnaires. Results: The mean age of the participants was 54 years (range 36−67). At the time of the study, there were 25 living patients (53.2%), the 3-year OS was 61%, and the 5-year OS was 48.7%. Cox regression analysis recognized parameter invasion, pelvic lymph node metastases, positive resection margins, early postoperative complications, and infralevatorian pelvic exenteration as negative prognostic factors influencing the OS (p < 0.05). Of the 25 survivors, 18 patients answered the QoL questionnaires. The cost of favorable survival has been translated into poor overall QoL, unsatisfactory functional, social, and symptom scores, a high prevalence of cervical cancer-specific symptoms such as lymphedema, peripheral neuropathy, severe menopausal symptoms, distorted body image, and lack of sexual desire. The lower scores are comparable to the only three studies available in the literature that assessed the QoL of patients undergoing pelvic exenteration precisely for cervical cancer. Conclusions: Despite its retrospective nature and some limitations, this paper, similar to other studies, shows a decent OS but with a marked adverse impact on QoL, suggesting the importance of adequate psycho-emotional and financial support for these patients following pelvic exenteration. This study also contributes to the current knowledge regarding advanced cervical cancer treatment, depicting survival, prognostic factors, and QoL of patients undergoing pelvic exenteration for cervical cancer in a reference center in Eastern Europe. Our study can provide a comparison for future prospective randomized trials needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze clinical outcomes after pelvic exenteration for advanced primary or recurrent pelvic cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed the outcomes in 35 patients after pelvic exenteration for advanced primary or recurrent pelvic cancer (gynecological cancer, urologic cancers, colon cancer). There were 3 (8.57%) men and 32 (91.43%) women. Mean BMI was 26 kg/m2. RESULTS Total exenteration was performed in 10 (28.57%) patients, anterior exenteration - 18 (51.43%) patients, posterior exenteration - 7 (20.0%) patients. Intraoperative complications (damage to the common iliac vessels) occurred in 1 (2.86%) patient. Mean surgery time was 280 minutes (range 180-600), mean intraoperative blood loss - 400 ml (range 100-2000). Mean postoperative ICU-stay was 24 hours. Major postoperative complications Clavien-Dindo grade 3-4 were detected in 3 (8.57%) patients. One (2.86%) patient died in 84 days after surgery from multiple organ failure due to progression of disease (Clavien-Dindo grade 5). There were 4 (11.43%) patients with complications Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3. Negative resection margin (R0) was achieved in 32 (91.43%) cases. The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 70 months (median 16.5 months). Overall survival was assessed in 25 patients. Other 10 patients or their relatives did not get in touch and therefore did not participate in assessment of survival. Overall 2-year survival assessed in 6 patients with cervical cancer was 24%. Overall 2-year survival estimated in 8 patients with bladder cancer was 100%. A patient with colon cancer lived for 23 months. Among 2 patients with vulvar cancer, 1 patient died in 25 months after surgery, the second one was followed-up for 11 months. Patients with primary multiple tumors were followed-up for 10-21 months. Overall 1-year survival was 100%. One patient died after 21 months. CONCLUSION Analyzing own findings and world literature data, we can conclude that laparoscopic technique ensures better intra- and postoperative results compared to standard laparotomy. However, there are insufficient data to confirm superiority of laparoscopic approach regarding oncological results.

This study was designed with an aim to share our experience of primary pelvic exenterations. The study included 23 patients with different types of pelvic cancer enrolled at a single institution between November 2011 and July 2020. The patient mean age was 55 years (range, 43-72 years) and the oncological indications included: Stage IVa cervical cancer (11 cases, 48.9%), stage IVa endometrial cancer (1 case, 4.3%), stage IVa vaginal cancer (6 cases, 26%), stage IIIb bladder cancer (3 cases, 13%), stage IIIc rectal cancer (1 case, 4.3%) and undifferentiated pelvic sarcoma (1 case, 4.3%). Total, anterior, and posterior pelvic exenterations were performed on 34.4, 56.5 and 13% of cases, respectively. Related to levator ani muscle, 13 (56.5%) pelvic exenterations were supralevatorian, 10 (43.5%) infralevatorian, and 5 (21.7%) were infralevatorian with vulvectomy. No major intraoperative complications occurred. Seven patients (30.5%) developed early complications, 4 of them (17.4%) required reoperation and 1 (4.3%) perioperative death caused by a pulmonary embolism was recorded. Only 1 patient experienced a late complication, a urostomy stenosis. Over a median follow-up period of 35 months, 8 (34.8%) patients died. The median overall survival (OS) was 33 months (range, 1-96 months). The 2-year and 5-year survival rates were 72 and 66%, respectively. Primary pelvic exenteration may be related with various postoperative complications, without high perioperative morality and with long-term survival.

Impact of histological subtype on the response to chemoradiation in locally advanced cervical cancer and the possible role of surgery. Exp Ther Med 2020; 21:93.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women in developing countries, second only to breast cancer, with more than 450.000 new cases every year. Romania has the highest incidence of cervical cancer in Europe; more than four times the incidence found in Western Europe. Radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy is considered in most countries the gold standard for locally advanced cervical cancer. In Romania, if downstaging occurs after radiotherapy, adjuvant surgery is routinely performed. Thus, in the present study, we investigated the rate of residual cancer in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who underwent surgery after concurrent chemoradiotherapy and to determine the impact of tumor histological subtype on the chemoradiotherapy response. Of a total of 461 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer that underwent chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant surgery, 254 had a partial response defined as the presence of residual tumor at pathology examination. Depending on the histological subtype of the cervical cancer, partial response was obtained in 50.6% of squamous cell carcinoma cases and in 77.6% of adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma cases. The present study demonstrated that cervical cancer patients with adenocarcinomas and adenosquamous carcinomas had a significantly poorer treatment response to chemoradiotherapy than those with squamous cell carcinomas. We consider that in such cases where residual tumor is present, adjuvant surgery is mandatory for improving the survival rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Stomal metastases from a primary rectal adenocarcinoma are rare, therefore, clear guidelines on treatment options are limited. We performed a systematic review including a case report on this subject with the primary objective of identifying the total number of cases in the literature. The secondary objective was to assess median survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 59-year-old woman presented to our institution with anal incontinence to mucus leakage. Flexible sigmoidoscopy identified a carpet adenoma from the dentate line to the rectosigmoid junction. An abdomino-perineal resection (APR) was performed using the transanal total mesorectal excision technique (TaTME). No adjuvant chemotherapy was offered. Twenty-one months following the operation a stomal recurrence was identified. Palliative radiotherapy was commenced and the patient is alive 6 months later with no visible recurrence at the site of the stoma. A systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. RESULTS The systematic review identified 19 individual cases of either metachronous or true metastatic recurrence, including our own case. Median survival was 30 months in the 8 cases where further treatment was offered and accepted. CONCLUSION Stomal metastases or metachronous colorectal cancer is uncommon. The causes for this pattern of spread are not clear. Long-term survival from cutaneous recurrence is generally poor. For carefully selected patients, redo surgery is an option with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Background Pelvic exenteration (PE) may be associated with prolonged overall survival (OS) in selected patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. However, the factors related to improved survival following PE are not clearly defined. The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of OS rates in a group of patients undergoing PE in order to identify the factors related to improved long-term outcomes. Methods Our study group consisted of 44 patients, including 21 squamous cell cancer (SCC) patients, 22 patients with adenocarcinomas (AC) of the cervix, and one patient with undifferentiated cervical carcinoma. The patients were categorized according to the type of surgery, namely, primary surgery (12 patients) or surgery due to cancer recurrence (32 patients). Results In the group of patients with recurrent cervical cancer, we found that improved OS correlated with the SCC histological type and the presence of vaginal fistula. The need for reoperation within 30 days and the presence of severe adverse events significantly worsened the prognosis. We found a non significant trend toward improved survival in those patients with tumor-free margins. Lymph node metastases, the initial stage of the disease, the time to recurrence, and a history of hysterectomy had no impact on patients’ OS. In the group of patients undergoing primary PE, we observed a trend toward improved survival among those diagnosed with vaginal fistula. Conclusions Pelvic exenteration seemed to improve the long-term outcomes for patients with SCC cancer recurrence and vaginal fistula whose surgery was unrelated to severe adverse events.

In Vivo 2020; 34:793-797.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Although very rare tumors, uterine sarcomas are extremely aggressive gynecologic malignancies being responsible for a significant number of gynecological cancer-related deaths. However, in such cases, it seems that cytoreductive surgery might increase the lifespan if debulking to no residual disease is achieved. PATIENTS AND METHODS We present a case series of three patients diagnosed with endometrial stromal sarcomas in which urinary tract resections were needed in order to maximize the debulking effort. RESULTS In all cases total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy was performed; in the meantime, urinary tract resection was needed due to the local extension of the neoplastic disease and consisted of unilateral ureteral resection followed by reimplantation through ureteroneocystostomy in one case, bilateral ureteral resection en bloc with partial cystectomy and ureteral reimplantation in one case and total cystectomy with bilateral ureterectomy followed by cutaneous ostomy in the third case. Moreover, one case also necessitated rectosigmoidian resection followed by colorectal anastomosis. In all cases no residual disease was encountered at the end of the debulking surgery. CONCLUSION Urinary tract resections might be needed in order to maximize the debulking effort in patients presenting endometrial stromal sarcomas.
