Proposal of Novel Binary Grading Systems for Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: We compared grading systems and examined associations with tumor stroma and survival in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Available tumor slides were collected from 10 international institutions. Broders tumor grade, Jesinghaus grade (informed by the pattern of tumor invasion), Silva pattern, and tumor stroma were retrospectively analyzed; associations with overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and presence of lymph node metastases were examined. Binary grading systems incorporating tumor stromal changes into Broders and Jesinghaus grading systems were developed. Of 670 cases, 586 were reviewed for original Broders tumor grade, 587 for consensus Broders grade, 587 for Jesinghaus grade, 584 for Silva pattern, and 556 for tumor stroma. Reproducibility among gr
