Impact of sites vs number of metastases on survival of patients with organ metastasis from newly diagnosed cervical cancer
Cancer Management and Research Aug 21, 2019
Yin Z, et al. - Researchers examined patients newly diagnosed with cervical cancer for the potential associations of the sites and the number of specific metastases with survival. From October 2006 to December 2016, they identified medical records of 99 patients with newly diagnosed organ metastatic cervical cancer at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Univariate analysis revealed better OS (overall survival) rates for bone metastasis vs visceral metastasis, for oligometastasis vs non-oligometastasis and for single organ metastasis vs multiple organ metastases, while poorer OS rates for liver metastasis vs non-liver metastases. Multivariate analysis evealed a significant and independent correlation of liver metastasis with poor overall survival. These findings support the administeration of individualized treatments to patients depending on the specific metastatic sites.
