Objective:
To study the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and prognosis of cervical adenosquamous carcinoma.
Methods:
The data of 21 patients with adenosquamous cervical cancer who were admitted into Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University from Jan 2001 to Dec 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Six patients received surgical therapy only and 15 patients received combined therapy.
Results:
Seven cases were with positive pelvic lymph node metastases and 3 cases were with ovarian metastases. The median survival time of the combined therapy group and surgical therapy group was 54 and 20 months, respectively. In stage I and stage II patients, the median survival time of the combined therapy group and surgical therapy group was 66 and 20 months, respectively. The difference was significant between the two groups (P < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Combined therapy should be given to patients with adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix. Surgical therapy and chemotherapy play an important role in the management and prognosis of adenoquamous carcinoma of cervix. Preserve of ovary for patients with adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix should only be done when the ovary is confirmed free from any malignant involvement by pathology.
