Data from small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix: FIGO 2018 staging is more accurate than FIGO 2009.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the prognostic value of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 and 2018 staging systems in surgical patients with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (SCNEC).

Methods

We re-staged 64 surgical IB-IIA (FIGO 2009) SCNEC patients according to the FIGO 2018 system and refined stage IIIC of FIGO 2018 based on tumor local invasion. The prognostic factors were analyzed, and the advantages of FIGO 2018 were compared with 2009.

Results

The 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was 78.5% for stage I and 22.2% for stage II (FIGO 2009). In FIGO 2018, there was no difference between stage I and II, and the 5-year OS was 74.1%, 60.2%, and 0% for stage I/II, IIIC1, and IIIC2. After combining stage IIIC with the local invasion
