Objectives: Investigation of the prediction of para-aortic lymph node (LN) metastasis by metastatic pelvic lymph node diameter in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
Methods: Between 28 December 2010 and 30 March 2021, 57 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer [2B-4A 2018 FIGO] at Selcuk University's Faculty of Medicine were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. The involvement of pelvic and para-aortic LN in patients with surgical staging and outcomes were assessed.
Results: The average age of 57 patients was 56 [33-78] years. Of patients, 73.7% were stage 2b, 12.3% were stage 3 and 14.0% were stage 4a. Of samples, 91.2% had histological type squamous cells. The mean number of LNs collected was 4 [0-49] and 10 [7-37] in patients with pelvic and para-aortic LN involvement, respectively. Para-aortic LN was positive in 9 patients and negative in 48 patients according to ROC analysis. Para-aortic LN involvement was predicted by metastatic pelvic LN cut-off diameter of 0.75 cm with 100% sensitivity and 89.6% specificity [AUC=0.959, p=0.001 [95% CI, 0.912-1.000].
Conclusion: The cut-off for pelvic LN dissection and metastatic pelvic LN diameter in locally advanced cervical cancer was accepted as 0.75 cm for predicting para-aortic LN involvement.

Lokal İleri Evre Serviks Kanserinde Metastatik Pelvik Lenf Nodu Çapının Paraaortik Lenf Nodu Metastazına Yönelik Tahmini

Öz

Amaç: Lokal ileri servikal kanserli hastalarda metastatik pelvik lenf nodu çapına göre para-aortik lenf nodu [LN] metastazının tahmininin araştırılması.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: 28 Aralık 2010 ile 30 Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında Selçuk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nde lokal olarak ilerlemiş servikal kanserli 57 hasta [2B-4A 2018 FIGO] bu retrospektif analize dahil edildi. Cerrahi evreleme ve sonuçları olan hastalarda pelvik ve para-aortik LN tutulumu değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: 57 hastanın ortalama yaşı 56 [33-78] yıldı. Hastaların %73,7'si evre 2b, %12,3'ü evre 3 ve %14,0'ı evre 4a idi. Örneklerin %91,2'sinde histolojik tip skuamöz hücreler vardı. Pelvik ve para-aortik LN tutulumu olan hastalarda toplanan ortalama LN sayısı sırasıyla 4 [0-49] ve 10 [7-37] idi. ROC analizine göre para-aortik LN 9 hastada pozitif, 48 hastada negatifti. Para-aortik LN tutulumu %100 duyarlılık ve %89,6 özgüllük ile 0,75 cm'lik metastatik pelvik LN kesme çapı ile tahmin edildi [AUC=0,959, p=0,001 [95% CI, 0,912-1,000].
Sonuç: Lokal ileri servikal kanserde pelvik LN diseksiyonu ve metastatik pelvik LN çapı için kesme değeri, para-aortik LN tutulumunu tahmin etmek için 0,75 cm olarak kabul edildi.
