Fast growing cervical carcinomas: A retrospective analysis of 20 IB–IIB FIGO

Introduction: Fast growing cervix carcinomas have a pejorative outcome: they may occur quickly after cervical smears qualified as normal – within an interval from 12 to 18 months in women less than 50 years old, and involveing the endocervix. This retrospective analysis is aimed at assessing 5-year...

Description
Summary:Introduction: Fast growing cervix carcinomas have a pejorative outcome: they may occur quickly after cervical smears qualified as normal – within an interval from 12 to 18 months in women less than 50 years old, and involveing the endocervix. This retrospective analysis is aimed at assessing 5-year outcomes. Materials and methods: Twenty cases of fast-growing cancer of the uterine cervix classified according to the FIGO clinical staging system as IB ( n=14), IIA (3), and IIB (3), have been reviewed and compared to a cohort of 160 cases not having this feature. As regard to fast-growing carcinoma, the median age was 41 years (range 25–50), and the median follow-up 22 months (8–213) as compared to 54 years (27–79) and 80 months (5–199) for the reference cohort. The comparison of the two cohorts shows only a difference of breakdown which concerns the histological pelvic lymph nodes status ( P
