ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with uterine sarcoma treated following surgery for presumed benign disease.METHODS:
We identified all patients with uterine sarcoma found incidentally after primary surgery for presumed benign disease who presented to our institution and received re-exploration for completion surgery from January 1, 2004 to January 1, 2021. We analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.RESULTS:
Overall, 95 patients were included in our study. For the initial surgery, myomectomy was performed in 50 (52.6%, 50/95) patients, hysterectomy was performed in 45 (47.4%, 45/95) patients. All patients were re-explored to complete the staging operation. The median time to the staging surgery was 40 days (range 15-90 days). There were 29 patients (30.5%, 29/95) had remnant sarcomas, with 17 patients (17/95, 17.9%) on the remaining uterus, 9 patients (9/95, 9.5%) had disseminated diseases, and 4 patients (4/95, 4.2%) had positive lymph nodes. About 40 patients (42.1%) received adjuvant chemotherapy, 55.2% (16/29) and 36.4% (24/66) patients with/without remnant diseases received adjuvant chemotherapy, respectively (P = 0.087). The median follow-up duration was 76.7 months (IQR 34.8-118.1 months). And 17 patients (17.9%) had recurrence following re-exploration surgery. 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) for the entire cohort was 81.7% and 92.1%, respectively. Patients with remnant sarcomas had a tendency towards a worse 5-year PFS and 5-year OS, compared with those without (5-year PFS 75.6% vs. 84.5%, P = 0.224; 5-year OS 85.5% vs. 95.1%, P = 0.217). Patients with disseminated diseases had a worse 5-year OS (62.5% vs. 95.1%, P = 0.007) and non-significantly worse 5-year PFS (64.8% vs. 83.4%, P = 0.153) compared with those without.CONCLUSIONS:
Patients with uterine sarcoma treated following surgery for presumed benign disease have a favorable survival. Patients with disseminated diseases had a worse 5-year OS compared with those without. Surgical re-exploration may be valuable for removing remnant sarcomas and disseminated diseases.Palabras clave
