Objective: To compare survival outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and open surgery for radical hysterectomy (RH) in early cervical cancer patients with histologic subtypes of usual-type adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma.

Methods: From two centers' cervical cancer cohorts, patients with 2009 FIGO stage IB1-IB2 who underwent RH between 2007 and 2020 were retrospectively identified. Patients with usual-type adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma were included in the analysis after pathologic review according to the updated World Health Organization Classification of Tumors. Clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes were compared in terms of open surgery or MIS.

Results: This study included 161 patients. No significant differences were noted in overall survival (OS; P = 0.241) and disease-free survival (DFS; P = 0.156) between patients with usual-type adenocarcinoma (n = 136) and those with adenosquamous carcinoma (n = 25). MIS RH group (n = 99) had a significantly smaller tumor size (P < 0.001), lesser pathologic parametrial invasion (P = 0.001), and lesser lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001) than open RH group (n = 62). MIS and open RH groups showed similar OS (P = 0.201) and 3-year DFS rate (87.9% vs. 75.1%; P = 0.184). In multivariate analysis, worse DFS was not associated with MIS (P = 0.589) but was associated with pathologic parametrial invasion (adjusted HR, 3.41; 95% CI, 1.25-9.29; P = 0.016). Consistent results were observed among patients with usual-type adenocarcinoma; MIS was not associated with worse DFS.

Conclusions: Comparable survival outcomes were found for MIS and open RH in early-stage cervical usual-type adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma. Although MIS RH was not a poor prognostic factor, pathologic parametrial invasion was significantly associated with worse DFS in cervical usual-type adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma.

Background: Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) of the cervix is a rare malignant tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis, of which large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and HPV-independent adenocarcinoma are particularly rare, which have been reported limitedly in the literature. Here, we present 2 cases of MANEC of the cervix and discuss important considerations for diagnosing cervical poorly differentiated carcinoma.

Case Presentation: we reported two cases of mixed large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the cervix, one HPV-independent and one HPV-associated, both with vaginal bleeding.

Purpose: The purposes of the study are to assess the diagnostic performance of preoperative imaging for staging factors in gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (GEA) and to compare the performance for GEA with that of usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (UEA) among patients preoperatively deemed locally early stage (DLES) (< T2b without distant metastasis).

Materials And Methods: For this multi-center retrospective study, 58 patients were enrolled. All had undergone MRI with or without CT and FDG PET-CT preoperatively and had been pathologically diagnosed with GEA at five institutions.

Among cervical cancers, adenocarcinoma is less common than squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix; however, the incidence of these cancers is rising. The incidence has changed largely due to a shift in risk factors as well as the evolution of the diagnosis and classification of adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma of the cervix is composed of a diverse group of neoplasms that can be classified by various factors.

Background/aim: Invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (ISMC) is a rare but aggressive variant of endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC). The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in clinicopathological features, patient outcomes, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression among ISMC, usual-type EAC (UEA), and gastric-type EAC (GEA).

Patients And Methods: PD-L1 22C3 immunostaining was performed using 20 ISMCs, 20 UEAs, and 20 GEAs.

Background: The objective of this study was to elucidate the frequency and cytologic features of positive peritoneal washing cytology (PWC) in cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) and to clarify the clinical significance of positive PWC.

Methods: The authors analyzed cases from their institution between 1991 and 2023 in which patients underwent surgery and PWC. The study included 62 patients who had cervical GAS (1991-2023; including seven patients with adenocarcinoma in situ and 26, 15, nine, and five patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 stage I, II, III, and IV disease, respectively) and 100 patients who had usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (2007-2023; including 65, 15, and 20 patients with stage I, II, and III disease, respectively).
