Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma

Background/Aims: To evaluate the clinicopathologic aspects of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix (SCNEC). Methods: A retrospective review of 40 patients with SCNEC in 3 hospitals from 2009 to 2015 was conducted to assess the survival rates and examine the associations between clinicopathological variables and overall survival (OS). A meta-analysis of 22 studies containing 1901 patients was also conducted to further confirm the results. Results: In the clinical group of 40 patients, the 5-year OS rate was 20%. Advanced International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and radiation therapy (RT) were associated with poor survival. However, radical surgery was associated with prolonged survival. In the meta-analysis of 1901 patients, the 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate, 5-year DFS rate, 2-year OS rate, 3-year OS rate and 5-year OS rate of SCNEC were 48%, 35%, 62%, 35%, and 35% respectively. Advanced FIGO stage, larger tumor size, lymph node metastasis (LNM) (+), lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI) (+), parametrial involvement (PI) (+), depth of stromal invasion (DSI) > 2/3, and RT were associated with poor survival. However, a chemotherapy regimen similar to that for small cell lung cancer was associated with prolonged survival. Conclusion: Advanced FIGO stage, larger tumor size, LNM (+), LVSI (+), DSI > 2/3, PI (+), and RT were independent predictors of poor prognosis of SCNEC. Radical surgery combined with a chemotherapy regimen similar to that of small cell lung cancer may be a potential therapeutic approach for SCNEC.
