Treatment of Recurrent or Metastatic Uterine Adenosarcoma

الملخص EN

Purpose.

This study retrospectively evaluated overall survival (OS) by treatment of recurrent or metastatic uterine adenosarcoma including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy and evaluated OS and progression-free survival (PFS) after 1st line systemic chemotherapy.

Methods.

78 patients with recurrent or metastatic adenosarcoma comprised the study population.

The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate OS and PFS.

The log-rank test was performed to test the difference in survival between groups.

Results.

Median OS from diagnosis of recurrent or metastatic disease was 1.8 yrs.

OS was influenced by pathology on recurrence, p=0.035.

Median OS differed by surgery for 1st recurrence 26.3 months versus 15.1 months.

OS was not influenced by chemotherapy, p=0.58, palliative radiation, p=0.58, or hormonal therapy, p=0.15.

The response rate (CR + PR) per RECIST 1.1 for chemotherapy was 31.2% for doxorubicin-based regimens and 14.3% for gemcitabine/docetaxel.

OS since 1st line chemotherapy was not significantly different among chemotherapy regimens.

However, the median PFS was superior for doxorubicin/ifosfamide (15.4 months) compared to gemcitabine/docetaxel (5.0 months), platinum-based regimens (5.7 mo), or other doxorubicin-based regimens (6.5 months).

Conclusion.

These results suggest that surgery is an important treatment modality for recurrent or metastatic uterine adenosarcoma, and the most effective chemotherapeutics are doxorubicin/ifosfamide and gemcitabine/docetaxel.
