RESUMEN

Primary peritoneal cancer has characteristics similar to high-grade serous carcinomas of ovarian and fallopian tube origin. However, the relationship between endometriosis and primary peritoneal cancer is not well understood. This study focuses on a case of peritoneal cancer in a patient who had undergone hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy 5 yr before. In addition to morphology, there was a positive for TP53 in immunohistochemistry and homologous recombination deficiency test, which were similar to high-grade serous carcinomas. However, WT1 was negative in the tumor, and extensive endometriosis coexisted. To reveal the clonal relationship between tumor and endometriosis, we dissected 3 sites each from the tumor and endometriosis and performed whole-exome sequencing analysis. As a result, we found that the tumors were of identical origin. Contrarily, no shared mutations were found in the 3 endometriosis sites. Furthermore, several shared mutations were found between the tumor and 1 endometriosis tissue, showing that the tumor and 1 ectopic endometrial gland originated from the same clone. This study indicates that several peritoneal cancers may be derived from endometriosis. We should consider the possibility of more diverse origins of peritoneal cancer than we speculated before.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of niraparib in Japanese women with heavily pretreated ovarian cancer. METHODS: This was the follow-up analysis of a phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study in Japanese women with homologous recombination-deficient, platinum-sensitive, relapsed, high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who had completed 3-4 lines of chemotherapy and were poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor naïve. Participants received niraparib (starting dose, 300 mg) once daily in continuous 28-day cycles until objective disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. The primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR), as assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Safety evaluations included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). RESULTS: 20 patients were enrolled in the study and included in both efficacy and safety analyses. Median total study duration was 759.5 days. Median dose intensity was 201.3 mg/day. Confirmed ORR was 60.0% (90% confidence interval [CI]=39.4-78.3); 2 patients had complete response and 10 patients had partial response. Median duration of response was 9.9 months (95% CI=3.9-26.9) and the disease control rate was 90.0% (95% CI=68.3-98.8). The most common TEAEs were anemia (n=15), nausea (n=12), and decreased platelet count (n=11). TEAEs leading to study drug dose reduction, interruption, or discontinuation were reported in 16 (80.0%), 15 (75.0%), and 2 patients (10.0%), respectively. CONCLUSION: The long-term efficacy and safety profile of niraparib was consistent with previous findings in the equivalent population in non-Japanese patients. No new safety signals were identified. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03759600.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by pathogenic germline variants in mismatch repair (MMR) genes, which predisposes to various types of cancers showing deficient MMR (dMMR). Identification of LS probands is crucial to reduce cancer-related deaths in affected families. Although universal screening is recommended for colorectal and endometrial cancers, and age-restricted screening is proposed as an alternative, LS screening covering a broader spectrum of cancer types is needed. In the current study, we elucidated the rate of dMMR tumors and evaluated the outcome of LS screening in young-onset extra-colorectal LS-associated cancers. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry for MMR proteins were retrospectively performed in a total of 309 tissue samples of endometrial, non-mucinous ovarian, gastric, urothelial, pancreatic, biliary tract, and adrenal cancers in patients < 50 years of age. Clinicopathological information and the results of genetic testing were obtained from medical charts. RESULTS: There were 24 dMMR tumors (7.8%) including 18 endometrial, three ovarian, two urothelial, and one gastric cancer. Co-occurrence of colorectal cancer and family history of LS-associated cancers was significantly enriched in patients with dMMR tumors. Among the 16 patients with dMMR tumors who were informed of the immunohistochemistry results, five with endometrial and one with urothelial cancer were diagnosed as LS with positive pathogenic variants in MMR genes. CONCLUSIONS: We report the outcome of immunohistochemistry for MMR proteins performed in multiple types of young-onset extra-colorectal LS-associated cancers. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of a comprehensive LS screening program incorporating young-onset patients with various types of extra-colorectal LS-associated cancers.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of niraparib in Japanese patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. METHODS: This was a follow-up analysis of a phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study in Japanese women with platinum-sensitive, relapsed ovarian cancer. Participants received niraparib (starting dose 300 mg) once daily in continuous 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia-related events (defined as the overall incidence of the MedDRA Preferred Terms "thrombocytopenia" and "platelet count decreased") occurring in the 30 days after initial administration of niraparib, and secondary endpoints included evaluation of treatment-emergent adverse events and progression-free survival. RESULTS: Nineteen patients (median age, 62 years; median body weight, 53.9 kg) were enrolled. As previously reported, the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia-related events during the first 30 days of treatment was 31.6%. At data cutoff, median (range) treatment exposure was 504.0 (56-1,054) days and mean ± standard deviation dose intensity was 154.4±77.5 mg/day. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were nausea (n=14, 73.7%), decreased platelet count (n=12, 63.2%), decreased neutrophil count (n=11, 57.9%), anemia, vomiting, and decreased appetite (all n=9, 47.4%). One patient was diagnosed with treatment-related leukemia, which resulted in death. Median (95% confidence interval) progression-free survival was 18.0 (5.6-26.7) months. CONCLUSION: Overall, the safety profile of niraparib was considered manageable in this study population of Japanese patients with platinum-sensitive, relapsed ovarian cancer and was consistent with that observed in studies of non-Japanese patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03759587.

RESUMEN

Four subtypes of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) have previously been identified, each with different prognoses and drug sensitivities. However, the accuracy of classification depended on the assessor's experience. This study aimed to develop a universal algorithm for HGSC-subtype classification using deep learning techniques. An artificial intelligence (AI)-based classification algorithm, which replicates the consensus diagnosis of pathologists, was formulated to analyze the morphological patterns and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte counts for each tile extracted from whole slide images of ovarian HGSC available in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data set. The accuracy of the algorithm was determined using the validation set from the Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group 3022A1 (JGOG3022A1) and Kindai and Kyoto University (Kindai/Kyoto) cohorts. The algorithm classified the four HGSC-subtypes with mean accuracies of 0.933, 0.910, and 0.862 for the TCGA, JGOG3022A1, and Kindai/Kyoto cohorts, respectively. To compare mesenchymal transition (MT) with non-MT groups, overall survival analysis was performed in the TCGA data set. The AI-based prediction of HGSC-subtype classification in TCGA cases showed that the MT group had a worse prognosis than the non-MT group (P = 0.017). Furthermore, Cox proportional hazard regression analysis identified AI-based MT subtype classification prediction as a contributing factor along with residual disease after surgery, stage, and age. In conclusion, a robust AI-based HGSC-subtype classification algorithm was established using virtual slides of ovarian HGSC.

RESUMEN

PURPOSES: This study investigates the clinical significance of the anterior parametrical invasion in surgically treated patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS: We included patients diagnosed with cervical SCC with local lesions classified as T2b, who were treated at our department between January 2006 and December 2020. We evaluated the degree of anterior invasion using pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging and divided patients into three groups: partial, equivocal, and full invasion. The frequency of recurrence within 3 years (early recurrence) and overall prognosis were assessed. RESULTS: There were 12, 24, and 46 cases in the partial equivocal, and full invasion groups, respectively. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy was the mainstay of treatment across all groups (7, 17, and 27 cases, respectively). Although the frequency of early recurrence tended to be worse in the full group (partial; 2/7 cases, equivocal; 3/17 cases and full; 9/27 cases), all early local recurrence cases in the full group (four cases) responded well to the subsequent treatment. As for overall survival, the full invasion group had the best prognosis among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: In surgical treatment, although full anterior invasion may increase the risk of early local recurrence, it was considered to have little prognostic impact.

RESUMEN

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), which has unique clinical characteristics, arises from benign endometriotic cysts, forming an oxidative stress environment due to excess iron accumulation, and exhibits poor prognosis, particularly in advanced stages owing to resistance to conventional therapeutics. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death induced by lipid peroxidation and controlled by Hippo signaling. We hypothesized that overcoming ferroptosis resistance is an attractive strategy because OCCC acquires oxidative stress resistance during its development and exhibits chemoresistant features indicative of ferroptosis resistance. This study aimed to determine whether OCCC is resistant to ferroptosis and clarify the mechanism underlying resistance. Unlike ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma cells, OCCC cells were exposed to oxidative stress. However, OCCC cells remained unaffected by lipid peroxidation. Cell viability assays revealed that OCCC cells exhibited resistance to the ferroptosis inducer erastin. Moreover, Samroc analysis showed that the Hippo signaling pathway was enriched in OCCC cell lines and clinical samples. Furthermore, patients with low expression of nuclear Yes-associated protein 1(YAP1) exhibited a significantly poor prognosis of OCCC. Moreover, YAP1 activation enhanced ferroptosis in OCCC cell lines. Furthermore, suppression of zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 7 (ZDHHC7) enhanced ferroptosis by activating YAP1 in OCCC cell lines. Mouse xenograft models demonstrated that ZDHHC7 inhibition suppressed tumor growth via YAP1 activation by erastin treatment. In conclusion, YAP1 activation regulated by ZDHHC7 enhanced ferroptosis in OCCC. Thus, overcoming ferroptosis resistance is a potential therapeutic strategy for OCCC.

RESUMEN

The transverse vaginal septum, a rare Müllerian duct anomaly, presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges owing to its variable location, thickness, and potential association with uterine malformations. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and selection of an appropriate treatment are important. Herein, the case of a 28-year-old nonpregnant woman with sexual dysfunction attributable to a transverse vaginal septum is presented. The septum, approximately 5 mm thick, was situated low on the vaginal wall near the urethral opening, with a small central aperture. Employing Y-V plasty, full extension of the posterior and lateral vaginal walls was achieved while minimizing the manipulation of the anterior wall to avoid urethral injury. Postoperatively, the patient achieved sexual function without vaginal stenosis. Y-V plasty is a minimally invasive and effective approach for preventing postoperative stenosis in the treatment of a thin transverse vaginal septum located low on the vaginal wall.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND/AIM: Although serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen values are known to be useful in predicting the prognosis of cervical SCC, they have only been examined in a cursory manner. This study aimed to meticulously investigate the clinical significance of serum SCC antigen levels in patients with locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma (LACSC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included patients who were diagnosed with local stage (T-stage) 1b3/2/3 LACSC and underwent initial treatment at our institute between January 2006 and December 2016 (T-1b3: n=30; T-2: n=75; T-3: n=34). The patients were divided into three groups based on pre-treatment SCC values, and differences in clinical background, laboratory and pathology findings, and prognosis were examined. RESULTS: No significant difference in the SCC distribution was observed among the T-1b3/2/3 cases with elevated SCC levels. In stages T-1b3, T-2, and T-3, most recurrences in the SCC-High group were distant (T-1b3: three out of five recurrences; T-2: six out of seven recurrences; T-3: four out of eight recurrences), while most recurrences in the SCC-Low group were pelvic (T-1b3: two out of three recurrences; T-2: eight out of eight recurrences; T-3: three out of three recurrences). CONCLUSION: In LACSC, serum SCC antigen levels before treatment correlate strongly with the recurrence site. Patients with low levels should be closely monitored for local recurrence, whereas those with high levels warrant vigilance for distant recurrence.

RESUMEN

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are associated with improved survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. However, TIL evaluation has not been used in routine clinical practice because of reproducibility issues. The current study developed two convolutional neural network models to detect TILs and to determine their spatial location in whole slide images, and established a spatial assessment pipeline to objectively quantify intraepithelial and stromal TILs in patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. The predictions of the established models showed a significant positive correlation with the number of CD8+ T cells and immune gene expressions. Patients with a higher density of intraepithelial TILs had a significantly prolonged overall survival and progression-free survival in multiple cohorts. On the basis of the density of intraepithelial and stromal TILs, patients were classified into three immunophenotypes: immune inflamed, excluded, and desert. The immune-desert subgroup showed the worst prognosis. Gene expression analysis showed that the immune-desert subgroup had lower immune cytolytic activity and T-cell-inflamed gene-expression profile scores, whereas the immune-excluded subgroup had higher expression of interferon-γ and programmed death 1 receptor signaling pathway. The established evaluation method provided detailed and comprehensive quantification of intraepithelial and stromal TILs throughout hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides. It has potential for clinical application for personalized treatment of patients with ovarian cancer.

RESUMEN

Objective: Endometriosis is associated with various symptoms, but their severity varies from case to case. In this study, we investigated the reality of symptoms presented by patients with clinically early-stage endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) and explored the relationship between symptoms and laboratory/imaging findings, pathological findings, and prognosis. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study of patients who received initial surgical treatment and were diagnosed with clinically early-stage EAOC, including ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC), ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), and seromucinous borderline tumor (SMBT). Patients with OEC/OCCC diagnosed between 2006 and 2016 and those with SMBT diagnosed between 2006 and 2020 were included. Chi-square and Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for statistical analyses. Results: One hundred-seven patients (OEC, n=31; OCCC, n=39; SMBT, n=37) were included. Fifty-nine (55.1%) patients presented with symptoms, and the proportion of patients with OEC who presented with symptoms was significantly higher than that of others (OEC, 77.4%; OCCC, 43.6%; SMBT, 48.6%). The details of symptoms differed significantly among the pathological types (lower abdominal pain/abdominal discomfort/abnormal bleeding, OEC: 11/8/9; OCCC: 6/12/1; SMBT: 15/5/3). Only in the OEC group did symptomatic patients show significantly higher white blood cell (WBC) count and neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio (symptomatic vs. asymptomatic, median: WBC count: 7250 vs. 5000, p=0.008; N/L ratio: 4.6 vs. 1.7, p=0.013). None of the asymptomatic patients showed recurrence during follow-up. Conclusion: Patients with EAOC show varying symptoms depending on the histological type of the tumor. Laboratory findings underlying symptoms also vary by histopathological type, which may reflect differences in the carcinogenesis process.

RESUMEN

There have been no reported cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the cervix with pagetoid spread (Pag-S). A 44-year-old woman came to our department because of abnormal cytology that persisted immediately after a radical hysterectomy for NEC of the cervix. A mapping biopsy in a large area from the vaginal wall to the vulva revealed that synaptophysin/Ki-67-positive tumor cells were scattered within the epithelium in multiple areas, suggesting a wide Pag-S of NEC. Because tumor cells were found beyond the vaginal wall, the anterior pelvic exenteration was performed. Since we could pathologically confirm the complete resection and no distant metastases were detected, no adjuvant therapy was performed. Four years have passed since the initial treatment without any tumor recurrence. It is known that the prognosis of NEC of the cervix that invades beyond the cervix is poor; however, if there is a Pag-S pattern, a radical surgical treatment can be considered.

RESUMEN

Objectives: Port placements at the mid-abdomen (mainstay of robotic surgery [Rob]) appear to be difficult compared to that at lower abdomen (mainstay of conventional laparoscopy [Con-Lap]). We hypothesized that the reason for this may be the difference in port puncture places. Materials and Methods: We examined how the differences between the place and puncture order of ports affected Con-Lap cases with ports mainly placed in the lower abdomen and Rob cases with ports mainly placed in the middle abdomen. The trocar time was measured from the time when the puncture position and skin incision were determined and initiated, respectively, to the time when the port was punctured and fixed and used as the indicator of difficulty. Results: In the Con-Lap group analysis, the trocar time of the left lower port was longer (right lower: 77 s, middle lower: 117.5 s, and left lower: 138 s, P < 0.0001). In the Rob group analysis, the trocar time of the left most port was significantly longer (right-most: 89.0 s, right-middle: 92.5 s, left-middle: 121.0 s, and left-most: 197.0 s; P < 0.0001). In addition, the total trocar time was significantly longer in the first puncture at the right-middle port in the Rob group (right-most first: 8.4 min, right-middle first: 12.4 min, and left-middle first: 8.5 min, P = 0.0063). Conclusion: In the mid-abdomen port placement, mainstay of Rob cases, the puncture order, and port site have a significant impact on the difficulty of the procedure. It is preferable to avoid initially puncturing the right-middle port in case of the Rob.

RESUMEN

The first prophylactic vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and HPV18 was licensed in Japan in 2009. HPV vaccine effectiveness against high-grade cervical lesions has been demonstrated among young Japanese women, but evidence of its effects on invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is lacking. Using data from two different cancer registries, we compared recent trends of new ICC cases by age group using Poisson regression analysis. We also analyzed time trends in HPV16/18 prevalence among 1414 Japanese women aged <40 years newly diagnosed with ICC in the past decade. Based on the population-based cancer registry, the incidence of ICC among young women aged 20-29 years showed a significant decline from 3.6 to 2.8 per 100 000 women-years during 2016-2019, but no similar decline was observed for older age groups (p < 0.01). Similarly, using data from the gynecological cancer registry of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the annual number of ICCs among women aged 20-29 years also decreased from 256 cases to 135 cases during 2011-2020 (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, a declining trend in HPV16/18 prevalence in ICC was observed only among women aged 20-29 years during 2017-2022 (90.5%-64.7%, p = 0.05; Cochran-Armitage trend test). This is the first report to suggest population-level effects of HPV vaccination on ICC in Japan. Although the declining trend in HPV16/18 prevalence among young women with ICC supports a causal linkage between vaccination and results from cancer registries, further studies are warranted to confirm that our findings are attributable to vaccination.

RESUMEN

AIM: This study aimed to investigate the real-world clinical practice of estrogen and progestogen prescriptions for menopausal women. METHODS: Using a health care database in Japan, we conducted a cross-sectional study on estrogen prescriptions and detailed analyses of newly initiated estrogens and concomitant prescriptions of progestogens. Data between January 2005 and December 2021 were analyzed. RESULTS: In 2021, the proportion of women aged 45-49 years receiving estrogens was 25.8 [95% confidence interval (CI): 25.3, 26.3] per 1000 women, while it was 6.4 [95% CI: 6.0, 6.7] for those aged ≥60 years. The prescription of estrogens gradually increased in women aged 50-59 years after 2009. In women without a history of hysterectomy, transdermal estradiol was the primary form of estrogens prescribed for ≥180 days, in women aged <60 years. The proportion of transdermal estradiol gradually increased each year, whereas that of oral-conjugated equine estrogens decreased. Among progestogen, the proportions of dydrogesterone and transdermal norethisterone acetate increased over time, while that of medroxyprogesterone acetate decreased. Approximately 30% of women prescribed estrogens for ≥180 days did not initiate progestogen concurrently. In women undergoing hysterectomy, progestogen was not initiated in >90% of cases, and transdermal estradiol was prescribed in approximately 80% of cases in 2021. CONCLUSIONS: This study reviewed the prescription of estrogens in menopausal women in Japan. A considerable number of women with a uterus are receiving estrogen therapy rather than estrogen-progestogen therapy (EPT), despite the guidelines recommending the use of EPT in these women.

RESUMEN

Importance: Although bevacizumab has been used in the treatment of ovarian cancer, its optimal use is unknown. Objective: To investigate time-dependent changes in the outcomes of bevacizumab therapy. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study was conducted using published data from 7 previous randomized phase 3 clinical trials with bevacizumab (ICON7, GOG-0218, BOOST, GOG-0213, OCEANS, AURERIA, and MITO16B) from January 10 to January 31, 2023. From 2 ancillary analyses of the ICON7 trial with individual patient data and tumor gene expression profiles, an ICON7-A cohort was generated comprising 745 cases. From other studies, published Kaplan-Meier curves were graphically analyzed. Exposures: Bevacizumab treatment vs placebo or no treatment. Main Outcomes and Measures: Restricted mean survival time and relative risk of progression at a given time point between bevacizumab treatment and control groups. Results: In the ICON7-A cohort (n = 745), restricted mean survival analysis showed that bevacizumab treatment (n = 384) had significantly better progression-free survival (PFS) than the control (n = 361) before bevacizumab discontinuation (restricted mean survival time ratio, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.05-1.11; P < .001), but had significantly worse PFS after bevacizumab discontinuation (0.79; 95% CI, 0.69-0.90; P < .001), showing rebound. In a post hoc analysis, the rebound was similarly observed both in homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) (before, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.09; P < .001; after, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.63-0.98; P = .04) and non-HRD tumors (before, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.03-1.15; P < .001; after, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.56-0.90; P < .001) of the serous subtype, but not in the nonserous subtype (before, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05-1.18; P < .001; after, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.78-1.15; P = .57). In Kaplan-Meier curve image-based analysis, the trend of rebound effect was consistently observed in the overall ICON7 and GOG-0218 cohorts and their subgroups stratified by prognostic factors, homologous recombination-associated mutations, and chemotherapy sensitivity. In contrast, no such trend was observed in the studies GOG-0213, OCEANS, AURERIA, and MITO16B, in which patients who experienced relapse received bevacizumab until progression. Conclusions and Relevance: In ovarian cancer, bevacizumab may reduce progression for approximately 1 year after initiation, but discontinuation may increase subsequent progression in the serous subtype regardless of HRD status. The results suggest that in the first-line treatment, bevacizumab may be more beneficial in patients with a shorter prognosis who are less likely to experience the rebound outcome.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the treatment efficacy and the risk of adverse events of imiquimod for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN), compared with placebo or no intervention. DATA SOURCES: We searched Cochrane, PubMed, ISRCTN registry, ClinicalTrials.gov , and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform up to November 23, 2022. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION: We included randomized controlled trials and prospective nonrandomized studies with control arms that investigated the efficacy of imiquimod for histologically confirmed CIN or VAIN. The primary outcomes were histologic regression of the disease (primary efficacy outcome) and treatment discontinuation due to side effects (primary safety outcome). We estimated pooled odds ratios (ORs) of imiquimod, compared with placebo or no intervention. We also conducted a meta-analysis of the proportions of patients with adverse events in the imiquimod arms. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS: Four studies contributed to the pooled OR for the primary efficacy outcome. An additional four studies were available for meta-analyses of proportions in the imiquimod arm. Imiquimod was associated with increased probability of regression (pooled OR 4.05, 95% CI 2.08-7.89). Pooled OR for CIN in the three studies was 4.27 (95% CI 2.11-8.66); results of one study were available for VAIN (OR, 2.67, 95% CI 0.36-19.71). Pooled probability for primary safety outcome in the imiquimod arm was 0.07 (95% CI 0.03-0.14). The pooled probabilities (95% CI) of secondary outcomes were 0.51 (0.20-0.81) for fever, 0.53 (0.31-0.73) for arthralgia or myalgia, 0.31 (0.18-0.47) for abdominal pain, 0.28 (0.09-0.61) for abnormal vaginal discharge or genital bleeding, 0.48 (0.16-0.82) for vulvovaginal pain, and 0.02 (0.01-0.06) for vaginal ulceration. CONCLUSION: Imiquimod was found to be effective for CIN, whereas data on VAIN were limited. Although local and systemic complications are common, treatment discontinuation is infrequent. Thus, imiquimod is potentially an alternative therapy to surgery for CIN. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO, CRD42022377982.

RESUMEN

AIM: We investigated the frequency of early recurrence of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (VaIN 2/3) (within 2 years) after hysterectomy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3). The characteristics of the clinicopathological factors common to them were explored including different surgical methods. METHODS: As a retrospective observational study, a total of 647 CIN3 patients were divided into a conization and hysterectomy group (C group, n = 492; H group, n = 155), and HSIL (CIN2/3 or VaIN2/3) recurrence within 2 years after surgery was evaluated. A stratified analyses was performed. Surgical methods were divided into trans-abdominal, trans-vaginal, and laparoscopic. RESULTS: The recurrence of VaIN3 was detected in four cases (2.6%) in the H group, which was similar to that of CIN2/3 in the C group, 12 out of 491 patients (2.4%). The patients who developed VaIN3 were significantly older than those who did not (median, VaIN3: 71.0; VaIN1 and less: 48.0; p < 0.0001). All VaIN3 cases were detected within 5 months, although majority of cases were negative in the margin (3/4 cases; margin negative). The method of hysterectomy was not related to the VaIN3 recurrence. CONCLUSION: For CIN3 patients for whom hysterectomy is the main treatment, VaIN3 can develop in 2.6% within very shortly after operation even if surgical margin was negative. The elder the age, the higher the risk of early recurrence could be. Laparoscopic surgery is considered to be acceptable methods of hysterectomy.
