The prognostic value of chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy in adenoid cystic carcinoma and adenoid basal carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) are rare cervical cancer types and have unclarified clinicopathological features and survival outcomes. This retrospective study focused on predicting the value of radiotherapy or/and chemotherapy for cervical ACC and ABC patients.

Methods

The clinical data of cervical ACC and ABC patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 1973 and 2013 were included. The clinicopathological features, Kaplan-Meier curves, and overall survival (OS) of patients were evaluated. The prognostic nomogram was established based on the multivariate Cox models. To validate the nomogram prediction, Harrell's Concordance index (C-index) was calculated and receiver operating characte
