Purpose
The purpose of this study was to develop nomograms for predicting the probability of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in locally advanced cervical cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery.
Materials and Methods
Nomograms to predict the 5-year OS rates and the 2-year PFS rates were constructed. Calibration plots were constructed, and concordance indices were calculated. Evaluated variableswere body mass index, age, tumor size, tumor histology, grading, lymphovascular space invasion, positive parametria, and positive lymph nodes.
Results
In total 245 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery were included for the construction of the nomogram. The 5-year OS and PFS were 72.6% and 66%, respectively. Tumor size, grading, and parametria status affected the rate of OS, whereas tumor size and positive parametria were the main independent PFS prognostic factors.
Conclusion
We constructed a nomogram based on clinicopathological features in order to predict 2-year PFS and 5-year OS in locally advanced cervical cancer primarily treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery. This tool might be particularly helpful for assisting in the follow-up of cervical cancer patients who have not undergone concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

PURPOSE The prognosis of stage IV stomach cancer patients is very poor and the effectiveness of radical surgery including extended lymphadenectomy and combined resection in these patients is still controversial. The purposes of this retrospective study were to identify the prognostic factors and to evaluate the effectiveness of extended lymphadenectomy and combined resection in stage IV stomach cancer paients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 585 patients who were operated for stomach cancer at the NMC from Jan. 1987 to Oct. 1993, 154 patients of stage IV stomach cancer (121 patients who had distant metastasis and 33 patients who had not) were identified. We analyzed data of these 154 patients to find the characteristic clinicopathological features, the prognostic factors and the proper extent of surgical treatment. RESULTS Comparing with stage I, II and III groups, larger tumor size, higher proportions of Borrmann type IV and undifferentiated carcinoma and higher rates of lymph node metastasis and combined resection were noticed in stage IV stomach cancer group. In combined resection, pancreas tail was mainly resected due to tumor invasion but spleen was mainly resected for the completeness of lymph node dissection. In multivariate analyses, peritoneal metastasis and postoperative residual tumor were independent prognostic factors. The overall 5-year survival rate was 14.6%. Stage IV stomach cancer patients without distant metastasis had better 5-year survival rate than that of those who had distant metastasis (34.3% vs 7.9%, p=0.00001). CONCLUSIONS Radical procedures including extended lymphadenectomy and combined resection of the invaded organs should be considered in the stage IV stomach cancer patients without distant metastasis.
