Poor Treatment Outcomes of Locally Advanced Cervical Adenocarcinoma of Human Papilloma Virus Independent Type, Represented by Gastric Type Adenocarcinoma: A Multi-Center Retrospective Study (Sankai Gynecology Study Group).

ABSTRACT: The revised World Health Organization classification of cervical cancer divides adenocarcinomas into human papillomavirus-associated (HPVa) and -independent (HPVi) types; the HPVi type is represented by the gastric type. The treatment outcomes of locally advanced adenocarcinoma (LaAC), based on this classification, are understudied. We investigated the outcomes of patients with HPVa and HPVi LaACs. Data for all consecutive patients with stage IB3 to IIIC1 adenocarcinoma who received treatment at 12 institutions throughout Japan between 2004 and 2009 were retrieved to analyze progression-free and overall survival. Central pathological review classified 103 and 48 patients as having HPVa and HPVi tumors, respectively. Usual- (84%) and gastric- (90%) type adenocarcinomas were the most frequen
