The role of radiotherapy in neuroendocrine cervical cancer: SEER-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are few randomised prospective data or guidelines for the treatment of neuroendocrine cervical cancer (NECC). In addition, the role of radiotherapy (RT) in NECC remains controversial. We used the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database to investigate the role of RT for the treatment of NECC. Particular attention was paid to the different role of RT in patients with or without a metastasis (M1 or M0).

Methods

The SEER database was queried for studies on NECC. We limited the year of diagnosis to the years 2000 to 2015. A Pearson's two-sided Chi-squared test, the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis models were used for statistical analyses. The overall survival (OS) was studied for the overall group and between-subgroup groups.
