Abstract:
Objective To demonstrate the clinicopathological characteristics and determine the prognostic factors for women with synchronous primary endometrial and ovarian cancer(SEOC). Methods A retrospective analysis of 63 pathologically proven cases of SEOC diagnosed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2000 to May 2018 was carried out. Results (1)Clinical features: mean age at diagnosis was(48.3±10.0)years, and the mean body mass index(BMI)was(23.4±3.7)kg/m2. The most common presenting symptom was abnormal uterine bleeding with a ratio of 73%(46/63). Forty-three patients(68%,43/63)were premenopausal, and 30%(19/63)were nulliparous.(2)Pathological features:for the endometrial cancer, 90% patients were diagnosed at stageⅠ, and 81% were low grade tumors(G1- G2). The histological type of endometrial cancer was mainly endometrioid carcinoma(86%)and majority (81%)of patients were proved without or with superficial myometrial invasion. For the ovarian cancer, 70% patients were diagnosed at stage Ⅰand 65% were low grade tumors(G1-G2). Sixty-two percent of ovarian cancers were endometrioid carcinoma and 68% of patients had unilateral involvement of the ovaries.(3) Treatment and prognosis: all patients underwent surgery, of which 56 (89%) underwent staging surgery including retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, and 57(90%)received postoperative adjuvant therapy. The median follow-up time was 48.0 months(range, 2-176 months), and 13% of the patients experienced tumor recurrence during the follow-up period. The median time to recurrence was 38.5 months, and 6 patients (10%)died of tumor recurrence. The 5-year progression-free survival(PFS)and 5-year overall survival(OS) for all patients were 69% and 80%, respectively.(4)Prognostic factors: univariate analysis showed that the presence of lymphovascular space invasion(LVSI), non-endometrioid histology of ovarian cancer and stage of ovarian cancer above stageⅠwere associated with significantly worse PFS(P<0.05). LVSI, high grade of endometrial cancer, and above stage Ⅰof ovarian cancer were associated with significantly worse OS(P<0.05). On multivariate analysis, LVSI, non-endometrioid type ovarian cancer and stage of ovarian cancer above stageⅠwere associated with significantly worse PFS(P<0.05). In addition, LVSI and stage of ovarian cancer above stage Ⅰwere also associated with significantly worse OS(P<0.05). Conclusions Women with SEOC are young, premenopausal and have a favorable overall prognosis. Presence of LVSI, non-endometrioid type ovarian cancer and stage of ovarian cancer above stageⅠare independent prognostic factors for PFS,and stage of ovarian cancer above stageⅠare independent prognostic factors for OS.
