Population-Based Survival Analysis of Stage IVB Small-Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma in Comparison to Major Histological Subtypes of Cervical Cancer.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the current study is to investigate the survival outcome of stage IVB SCNEC of the uterine cervix in comparison to major histological subtypes of cervical cancer. A population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Osaka Cancer Registry data from 1994 to 2018. All FIGO 2009 stage IVB cervical cancer patients who displayed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (A), adenosquamous cell carcinoma (AS), or small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) were first identified. The patients were classified into groups according to the types of primary treatment. Then, their survival rates were examined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Overall, in a total of 1158 patients, clearly differential survival rates were observed according to the histological subtypes, and S
