Treatment of secondary uterine malignancy following radiotherapy for cervical cancer: a study based on the SEER database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for cervical cancer. Long-term complications of radiation exposure include the emergence of secondary tumors. This is a retrospective study based on an American population. We discuss the optimal treatment modality for patients with radiation-induced secondary uterine malignancy based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.

Methods

The study included patients with a definitive pathological diagnosis of cervical cancer who were diagnosed with a uterine malignant tumor ≥ 1 year later. Patients in whom cervical cancer was not the first tumor or patients with missing data were excluded. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the COX regression model to screen independent prognostic fact
