OBJECTIVE To analyze clinical characteristics and treatmentmethods of the patients with adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix(AUC) and adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix (ASCC). Tocompare the survival time of the patients in 2 groups and analyzethe prognostic factors.METHODS Clinical data of both 123 patients with AUC and32 patients with ASCC treated at the Cancer Hospital, ChineseAcademy of Medical Science (CAMS) & Peking Union MedicalCollege (PUMC), were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS The median age of the AUC patients was 50 years, andthat of the ASCC patients was 44, P = 0.019. Poorly-differentiated(grade 3) cases accounted for 59.5% of the total ASCC patients,while only 32.5% of the AUC patients were in grade 3, P = 0.002.In 123 AUC patients, relapse or failure of the treatment occurredin 63 of the patients (51.2%), and the median relapse time was6 months (0-59 months). In 32 ASCC patients, relapse or failureof the treatment occurred in 8 of these patients (51.2%), with amedian relapse time of 4.5 months (0-52 months). The overall5-year survival rate of the AUC patients was 49.8%, which wassignificantly lower than that of the ASCC patients (74.1%), P =0.015. The 5-year survival rates of the ASCC patients in Stage Ⅰ-Ⅲwere higher than that of the AUC patients with the same stages.However, statistical significant difference could only be foundamong the patients in Stage Ⅱ, P = 0.006. The 5-year survival ratesof the ASCC patients with various differential grade were higherthan those of the AUC patients with the same differential grade,but statistical significant difference could only be found amongthe patients in the two groups with moderately differentiation,P = 0.039. It was found by Cox regression analysis that onlyclinical stage (P < 0.001) and histological type (P = 0.046) were theindependent prognostic factors.CONCLUSION Clinical stage and histological type were theindependent prognostic factors of the AUC and ASCC patients.The prognosis of ASCC patients is better than that of the AUCpatients.
