Objective

Frailty, nutritional deficiencies, and anemia frequently coexist in gynecologic cancer and may adversely influence clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the G8 geriatric screening tool (G8) for survival outcomes in patients undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery, with postoperative complications and selected modifiable preoperative conditions assessed as secondary outcomes.

Methods

Patients ≥60 years undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery were prospectively screened for frailty between May 2020 – June 2025. Survival was evaluated with Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression. Propensity score matching included demographics, comorbidities, and tumor characteristics; matched samples were analyzed using weighted Cox models.

Results

Of 257 screened patients, 180 were included (endometrial n = 72, ovarian n = 71, vulvar n = 26, cervical n = 6, vaginal cancer n = 5; mean age 69.6 ± 7.9 years; follow-up 25.1 ± 16.3 months). G8 positive patients (≤14 points) had more comorbidities and were more likely to present with preoperative anemia, hypoalbuminemia, and vitamin D or B12 deficiency. FIGO stages, surgical approach and postoperative complications were comparable. G8 positive patients were less likely to receive standard adjuvant therapy (p = 0.003). In matched analyses, G8 positivity remained significantly associated with reduced progression-free survival (HR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.01–3.49, p = 0.047) and showed a trend toward worse overall survival (HR: 2.25, 95% CI: 0.98–5.16, p = 0.055). Surgical resection status was the strongest predictor of oncological outcome.

Conclusions

A low preoperative G8 score was associated with reduced progression-free and potentially worse overall survival in older women with gynecologic tumors. The G8 may help identify modifiable factors such as anemia or vitamin D deficiency, while complete tumor resection remained the strongest prognostic factor.
目的:虚弱、营养缺乏和贫血在妇科癌症中经常共存,并可能对临床结果产生不利影响。本研究旨在评估G8老年筛查工具(G8)对妇科肿瘤手术患者生存结局的预后价值,将术后并发症和选定的可修改术前状况评估为次要结局。方法:在2020年5月至2025年6月期间,对≥60岁接受妇科肿瘤手术的患者进行前瞻性筛查。采用Kaplan-Meier曲线和Cox回归评估生存率。倾向评分匹配包括人口统计学、合并症和肿瘤特征;匹配样本采用加权Cox模型进行分析。结果:257例患者中,纳入180例(子宫内膜72例,卵巢71例,外阴26例,宫颈6例,阴道癌5例),平均年龄69.6±7.9岁,随访25.1±16.3个月。G8阳性患者(≤14分)合并症较多,术前更易出现贫血、低白蛋白血症、维生素D或B12缺乏。FIGO分期、手术入路和术后并发症具有可比性。G8阳性患者接受标准辅助治疗的可能性较小(p = 0.003)。在匹配分析中,G8阳性仍然与无进展生存期降低显著相关(HR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.01-3.49, p = 0.047),并显示出总生存期降低的趋势(HR: 2.25, 95% CI: 0.98-5.16, p = 0.055)。手术切除状态是肿瘤预后的最强预测因子。结论:术前G8评分较低与老年妇科肿瘤患者的无进展减少和潜在的更差的总生存率相关。G8可能有助于确定可改变的因素,如贫血或维生素D缺乏症,而完全切除肿瘤仍然是最强的预后因素。

Purpose

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used in oncology to assess patients' wellbeing. It is unclear if PROMs suit patients with low health literacy (HL). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of low HL in gynaecological cancer patients, describe associated clinical and sociodemographic factors, and explore PROMs use and comprehensibility for this group.

Methods

Patients treated for a gynaecological malignancy completed a waiting room questionnaire to assess self-perceived HL. Clinical and sociodemographic characteristics were collected via additional questions and the electronic patient file. Those with low HL, identified by the self-perceived HL screener and educational level, were interviewed, covering cognitive debriefings of a PROM-subset and semi-structured questions on attitudes toward PROMs. Patient characteristics were analyzed descriptively. Qualitative interview data were analyzed using Tourangeau's response process model and reflexive thematic analysis.

Results

In total, 136 patients completed the waiting room questionnaire. 23.5% (n = 32/136) had self-perceived low HL, of which 18 agreed to interviews. Cognitive debriefings revealed comprehensibility issues, particularly related to interpreting recall periods and response options. Some terms were perceived as ambiguous or emotionally charged. During semi-structured questions, participants expressed digital access issues and reluctance toward PROMs, often due to confusion about their purpose and absence of feedback on prior responses during consultations.

Discussion

Challenges with PROM comprehensibility and use among patients with low HL may hinder accurate health status reflection, impacting clinical work and research outcomes. Improvements are needed in clearly communicating PROMs' purpose and feedback on responses. To overcome comprehensibility barriers, PROMs should be developed and validated with low HL populations.
目的:患者报告结果测量(PROMs)在肿瘤学中用于评估患者的健康状况。目前尚不清楚PROMs是否适合低健康素养(HL)的患者。本研究旨在确定妇科癌症患者中低HL的患病率,描述相关的临床和社会人口因素,并探讨PROMs在该人群中的使用和可理解性。方法接受妇科恶性肿瘤治疗的患者填写一份候诊室问卷,评估患者对HL的自我认知。通过附加问题和电子患者档案收集临床和社会人口学特征。通过自我认知的HL筛选者和教育水平确定的低HL患者接受了采访,包括对prom子集的认知汇报和对prom态度的半结构化问题。对患者特征进行描述性分析。采用Tourangeau的反应过程模型和反身性主题分析对定性访谈数据进行分析。结果共136例患者完成了候诊室问卷调查。23.5% (n = 32/136)的受访者自我感觉低HL,其中18人同意接受访谈。认知汇报揭示了可理解性问题,特别是与解释回忆期和反应选项相关的问题。一些术语被认为是模棱两可或充满感情的。在半结构化的问题中,参与者表达了数字访问问题和对prom的不情愿,这通常是由于对其目的感到困惑,以及在咨询期间缺乏对先前答复的反馈。低HL患者对PROM的理解和使用的挑战可能会阻碍准确的健康状况反映,影响临床工作和研究成果。在清楚地传达prom的目的和对响应的反馈方面需要改进。为了克服可理解性障碍,应该在低HL人群中开发和验证PROMs。

Objectives

Despite evidence-based recommendations from SGO, ACOG, and NCCN, not all patients with gynecologic malignancies undergo consultation and management by a gynecologic oncologist. We aim to define the proportion of elderly patients with gynecologic cancers who had at least one visit with a gynecologic oncologist and evaluate for disparities in access to specialist care.

Methods

This is a retrospective cohort study of women with staged ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancer between 2000 and 2019 in the SEER Medicare database. Specialist visits were captured using Medicare Part B insurance claims. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-squared tests, and univariate logistic regression were used to assess clinical and socioeconomic factors associated with in-person visits.

Results

15,249 ovarian, 27,586 uterine, and 2647 cervical cancer patients were included in this study. There was an increase in the proportion of patients who saw gynecologic oncologists over time. Overall, 54.35% of ovarian, 61.49% of uterine, and 62.14% of cervical cancer patients saw a gynecologic oncologist for at least one visit. Those who were younger, living in census tracks with higher median income, and living in the Northeast were more likely to see a gynecologic oncologist. Visit access also varied by stage. Black and Hispanic patients with uterine cancer were more likely to see a gynecologic oncologist.

Conclusions

Less than two thirds of elderly patients with newly diagnosed gynecologic malignancies had a visit with a gynecologic oncologist. There were differences in access based on age, stage, geographic region, census track-based median income, and year of diagnosis in all subgroups.
尽管SGO、ACOG和NCCN提出了基于证据的建议,但并非所有妇科恶性肿瘤患者都接受妇科肿瘤医生的咨询和治疗。我们的目标是确定至少有一次妇科肿瘤医生就诊的老年妇科癌症患者的比例,并评估获得专科护理的差异。方法:这是一项回顾性队列研究,研究对象是2000年至2019年间SEER Medicare数据库中分期卵巢癌、子宫癌和宫颈癌的女性。专家访问记录使用医疗保险B部分保险索赔。使用描述性统计、t检验、卡方检验和单变量逻辑回归来评估与亲自就诊相关的临床和社会经济因素。结果15249例卵巢癌、27586例子宫癌和2647例宫颈癌患者纳入本研究。随着时间的推移,看妇科肿瘤医生的患者比例有所增加。总体而言,54.35%的卵巢癌、61.49%的子宫癌和62.14%的宫颈癌患者至少看过一次妇科肿瘤医生。那些更年轻、生活在人口普查轨道上、收入中位数更高、生活在东北部的人更有可能去看妇科肿瘤医生。访问权限也因阶段而异。黑人和西班牙裔子宫癌患者更有可能去看妇科肿瘤医生。结论新诊断的老年妇科恶性肿瘤患者到妇科肿瘤科就诊的比例不到三分之二。在所有亚组中,基于年龄、阶段、地理区域、基于普查轨迹的收入中位数和诊断年份的可及性存在差异。

Objective

While ovarian preservation has been shown to be safe for premenopausal patients with low-grade, early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer, there is limited data for higher risk tumors. We assessed the trends, predictors, and survival associated with ovarian preservation at the time of hysterectomy among premenopausal women with high-risk, early-stage endometrial cancers.

Methods

Women <50 years of age with stage I-II grade 2 endometrioid or high-risk (grade 3 endometrioid, non-endometrioid) endometrial cancers diagnosed from 2012 to 2022 and recorded in the National Cancer Database (NCDB) were examined. A multivariable logistic regression model, was used to examine factors associated with ovarian preservation. Adjusted survival curves and a Cox proportional hazards model (with inverse probability of treatment weighting [IPTW]) were used to compare the hazards of survvial in women who did and did not undergo ovarian preservation.

Results

A total of 7230 women including 295 (4.1 %) who underwent ovarian preservation were identified. The rate of ovarian preservation declined over time. Older age was associated with lower odds of ovarian preservation. After IPTW, 5-year survival was 94.2 % (95 % CI: 90.2–96.6 %) with ovarian preservation and 94.4 % (95 % CI: 93.5–95.2 %) with oophorectomy. In the weighted Cox proportional hazards model, ovarian preservation was not associated with overall survival (HR = 1.05, 95 % CI = 0.57–1.94).

Conclusions

Use of ovarian preservation in premenopausal women with high-risk endometrial cancers has decreased over time. Ovarian preservation was not associated with an adverse impact on survival.
虽然卵巢保存已被证明对绝经前低级别、早期子宫内膜样子宫内膜癌患者是安全的,但对于高风险肿瘤的数据有限。我们评估了高危、早期子宫内膜癌绝经前妇女子宫切除术时卵巢保存的趋势、预测因素和生存率。方法对2012年至2022年诊断并记录在国家癌症数据库(NCDB)的50岁I-II期2级子宫内膜样癌或高危(3级子宫内膜样癌、非子宫内膜样癌)子宫内膜癌的女性进行研究。一个多变量逻辑回归模型,用于检查与卵巢保存相关的因素。使用调整后的生存曲线和Cox比例风险模型(治疗加权逆概率[IPTW])来比较接受卵巢保存和未接受卵巢保存的女性的生存风险。结果共发现7230例,其中行卵巢保留术的295例(4.1%)。卵巢保存率随着时间的推移而下降。年龄越大卵巢保留的几率越低。IPTW后,卵巢保留组的5年生存率为94.2% (95% CI: 90.2 - 96.6%),卵巢切除组的5年生存率为94.4% (95% CI: 93.5 - 95.2%)。在加权Cox比例风险模型中,卵巢保存与总生存率无相关性(HR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.57-1.94)。结论绝经前高危子宫内膜癌患者卵巢保留率随时间的推移而降低。卵巢保存与生存的不利影响无关。

Objective

To compare oncologic outcomes and perioperative morbidity between simple hysterectomy (SH) and radical hysterectomy (RH) in patients with and without very low-risk early-stage cervical cancer from the phase III Simple Hysterectomy And PElvic node assessment (SHAPE) trial.

Methods

Patients who underwent SH or RH in the SHAPE trial were classified into the Conservative SHAPE group (very low-risk), meeting criteria similar to the ConCerv trial, and the Liberal SHAPE group (without very low-risk), including everyone else. Between the SH and RH arms in each group, survival outcomes, including recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), and intraoperative and postoperative morbidities were compared. Factors associated with recurrence and mortality rates were also investigated.

Results

In the Conservative SHAPE group (n = 107), no recurrence was observed in either SH or RH arms, and only one non-cancer-related death in the RH arm during a median follow-up of 4.5 years. In the Liberal SHAPE group (n = 575), the SH arm showed similar 3-year pelvic RFS (96.9 % vs. 97.4 %; HR, 1.15; 95 % CI, 0.49–2.70), extrapelvic RFS (97.7 % vs. 99.6 %; HR, 3.64; 95 % CI, 0.76–17.5), overall RFS (95.4 % vs. 97.4 %; HR, 1.56; 95 % CI, 0.70–3.48), and OS (98.9 % vs. 99.3 %; HR, 1.21; 95 % CI, 0.41–3.59), compared with the RH arm. In multivariate analyses, SH was not associated with recurrence and mortality rates, while absence of residual disease in the hysterectomy specimen was associated with lower recurrence. In both groups, SH was associated with a lower risk of urinary retention and incontinence.

Conclusion

There were similar recurrence and survival outcomes but less morbidity from simple hysterectomy compared to radical hysterectomy in patients with and without very low-risk early-stage cervical cancer from the SHAPE trial.
目的:比较单纯子宫切除术(SH)和根治性子宫切除术(RH)在III期单纯子宫切除术和盆腔淋巴结评估(SHAPE)试验中合并和不合并极低风险早期宫颈癌患者的肿瘤预后和围手术期发病率。方法:在SHAPE试验中接受SH或RH的患者被分为保守SHAPE组(极低风险),符合与ConCerv试验相似的标准,以及自由SHAPE组(无极低风险),包括其他人。在每组SH和RH组之间,比较生存结果,包括无复发生存(RFS)和总生存(OS),以及术中和术后发病率。与复发率和死亡率相关的因素也进行了调查。结果:在保守的SHAPE组(n = 107)中,在中位4.5年的随访期间,SH组和RH组均未观察到复发,RH组只有1例非癌症相关死亡。在Liberal SHAPE组(n = 575)中,与RH组相比,SH组显示相似的3年盆腔RFS(96.9%对97.4%;HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.49-2.70)、盆腔外RFS(97.7%对99.6%;HR, 3.64; 95% CI, 0.76-17.5)、总体RFS(95.4%对97.4%;HR, 1.56; 95% CI, 0.70-3.48)和OS(98.9%对99.3%;HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.41-3.59)。在多变量分析中,SH与复发率和死亡率无关,而子宫切除标本中没有残留疾病与较低的复发率相关。在两组中,SH与尿潴留和尿失禁的风险较低有关。结论:在SHAPE试验中,患有或不患有极低风险早期宫颈癌的患者中,单纯子宫切除术与根治性子宫切除术相比有相似的复发率和生存率,但发病率更低。

Objective

To design and implement a mobile health (mHealth) patient engagement platform for use in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing primary chemotherapy.

Methods

This prospective pilot study included patients with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing primary chemotherapy at a single institution from 8/2021–11/2023. Patients were offered enrollment in a mHealth platform which provided access to an education library and sent weekly health checks for the duration of their chemotherapy. Mild symptoms triggered recommendations for care at home, while more severe symptoms prompted a call or alert to the care team. The primary outcome was feasibility of the intervention. Secondary outcomes included frequency and severity of symptoms reported, recommended interventions, and patient reported outcomes (PROs).

Results

44 patients were enrolled during the study period. Activation rate was 79.5 %. Of the patients who activated, adherence was high with 77.1 % of patients still active at 3 months. Mean number of health checks completed was 16.1 (range 1–50). Commonly reported symptoms were fatigue (26.4 %), joint pain (24.2 %), neuropathy (22.2 %), and abdominal pain (18.7 %). Of 578 total health checks, 60.2 % triggered additional education, 20.9 % prompted a call to the care team, and 9.9 % resulted in an automated alert. 94 % of patients completed at least one PRO survey.

Conclusions

This mHealth intervention was feasible in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing primary chemotherapy and was associated with high adherence. mHealth interventions may help better identify adverse effects in patients undergoing chemotherapy and provide earlier opportunities for intervention compared to standard in-person visits.
目的:设计并实现用于晚期卵巢癌原发性化疗患者的移动健康(mHealth)患者参与平台。方法:这项前瞻性先导研究纳入了从2021年8月至2023年11月在单一机构接受初级化疗的新诊断上皮性卵巢癌患者。患者可以在一个移动健康平台注册,该平台提供访问教育图书馆的机会,并在化疗期间每周发送健康检查。轻微的症状会引发在家护理的建议,而更严重的症状则会给护理团队打电话或发出警报。主要观察指标是干预的可行性。次要结局包括报告症状的频率和严重程度、推荐的干预措施和患者报告的结局(PROs)。结果:研究期间共纳入44例患者。激活率为79.5%。在激活的患者中,依从性很高,77.1%的患者在3个月时仍然活跃。完成的健康检查的平均次数为16.1(范围为1-50)。常见的症状有疲劳(26.4%)、关节痛(24.2%)、神经病变(22.2%)和腹痛(18.7%)。在总共578次健康检查中,60.2%触发了额外的教育,20.9%提示了护理团队的电话,9.9%导致了自动警报。94%的患者完成了至少一次PRO调查。结论:这种移动健康干预在接受原发性化疗的晚期卵巢癌患者中是可行的,并且与高依从性相关。移动医疗干预可能有助于更好地识别化疗患者的不良反应,并提供比标准的亲自就诊更早的干预机会。

Objective

To evaluate the recall rate and positive predictive value of a novel algorithm for recommending germline testing in women with variants identified through tumor gene panel testing.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed in patients with gynecological cancers who underwent TruSight Oncology 500 tumor gene panel testing (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) between September 2020 and July 2023 at two tertiary institutions in Korea. The algorithm recommends germline testing for patients who meet the following criteria: (1) presence of Tier 1 or 2 variants in any of 11 oncogenes (BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, BRIP1, RAD51C, RAD51D, ATM, and CHEK2) with a variant allele frequency (VAF) of ≥40 %; and (2) exclusion of epithelial ovarian cancers with BRCA variants. Medical records were reviewed to assess germline testing results and their concordance with the somatic findings.

Results

The algorithm recommended germline testing for 19 of the 702 patients (recall rate: 2.7 %). Of these, four patients underwent germline testing based on tumor-detected variants. All four patients were confirmed to have germline variants identical to their somatic findings (positive predictive value: 100 %). Specifically, germline mutations were confirmed in one endometrial cancer (endometroid) patient with a BRCA variant, one tubo-ovarian cancer (high grade serous) patient with a RAD51D variant, and two tubo-ovarian cancers (high grade serous) patients with BRIP1 variants.

Conclusion

A conservative (specificity-focused) tumor-guided algorithm demonstrated high positive predictive value for identifying germline pathogenic variants and may provide a cost-effective means of prioritizing genetic counselling and germline testing in resource-limited settings.
目的:评估一种推荐生殖系检测的新算法在通过肿瘤基因面板检测发现变异的女性中的召回率和阳性预测值。方法:对2020年9月至2023年7月在韩国两所高等院校接受TruSight Oncology 500肿瘤基因面板检测(Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA)的妇科癌症患者进行回顾性分析。该算法建议对符合以下标准的患者进行生殖系检测:(1)11种癌基因(BRCA1、BRCA2、PALB2、MLH1、MSH2、MSH6、BRIP1、RAD51C、RAD51D、ATM和CHEK2)中存在1级或2级变异,变异等位基因频率(VAF)≥40%;(2)排除具有BRCA变异的上皮性卵巢癌。对医疗记录进行审查,以评估生殖系检测结果及其与躯体检查结果的一致性。结果:该算法推荐对702例患者中的19例进行生殖系检测(召回率为2.7%)。其中,4名患者接受了基于肿瘤检测变异的种系检测。所有4例患者均被证实具有与其体细胞结果相同的种系变异(阳性预测值:100%)。具体来说,一名子宫内膜癌(子宫内膜样)患者的BRCA变异,一名输卵管卵巢癌(高级别浆液性)患者的RAD51D变异,以及两名输卵管卵巢癌(高级别浆液性)患者的BRIP1变异证实了种系突变。结论:一种保守的(特异性聚焦的)肿瘤引导算法在识别种系致病变异方面显示出很高的阳性预测价值,并且可能在资源有限的环境中提供一种具有成本效益的优先遗传咨询和种系检测方法。

Objective

Although widely used for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy patient selection, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) remains an imperfect biomarker for such selection. We explored the impact of radiotherapy (RT) on PD-L1 and the tumor microenvironment (TME) and delved into the mechanisms underlying this effect in cervical cancer.

Methods

Patients with treatment-naïve cervical cancer who underwent RT between March 2021 and October 2022 were included. Cancer tissue samples were collected during RT. PD-L1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Lymphocytes in the TME were detected by multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF). SiHa, CaSki, U14, and TC-1 cells verified the in vitro findings using western blot analysis.

Results

Among the 40 cases, although the expression changed constantly, PD-L1 was significantly upregulated in most patients exposed to doses of 10–14 and 18–22 Gy; this radiation-induced acquired PD-L1 expression was consistently observed regardless of patients' baseline PD-L1 status or concurrent chemotherapy. In vitro experiments confirmed increased PD-L1 post-RT. RNA sequencing revealed NF-κB signaling pathway enrichment in the CD274-elevated group. Western blotting indicated significant p-P65 and p-IKKα/β increases post-irradiation; PD-L1 decreased with NF-κB activation inhibitors. mIF demonstrated increased CD8+ T cell and macrophage infiltration into tumor nests (P = 0.0496; P = 0.0017) and tumor stroma (P = 0.0049), with overall increased TME infiltration (P = 0.0139; P = 0.0321).

Conclusion

RT induces PD-L1 expression and enhances CD8+ T cell and macrophage infiltration into the TME of patients with cervical cancer. Therefore, it may establish an immunologically favorable context for synergistic action with subsequent immunotherapy.
目的:尽管广泛用于免疫检查点抑制剂(ICIs)治疗患者的选择,程序性死亡配体1 (PD-L1)仍然是这种选择的不完善的生物标志物。我们探讨了放疗(RT)对PD-L1和肿瘤微环境(TME)的影响,并深入研究了这种影响在宫颈癌中的机制。方法:纳入2021年3月至2022年10月期间接受RT治疗的treatment-naïve宫颈癌患者。rt期间收集肿瘤组织样本,免疫组织化学染色检测PD-L1表达。采用多重免疫荧光(mIF)检测TME淋巴细胞。SiHa, CaSki, U14和TC-1细胞使用western blot分析验证了体外研究结果。结果:在40例患者中,虽然PD-L1的表达在不断变化,但在10-14和18-22 Gy剂量下,大多数患者的PD-L1表达显著上调;无论患者的基线PD-L1状态或同期化疗如何,这种辐射诱导的获得性PD-L1表达都是一致的。体外实验证实rt后PD-L1升高。RNA测序结果显示,cd274升高组NF-κB信号通路富集。Western blot结果显示,辐照后p-P65和p-IKKα/β显著升高;NF-κB活化抑制剂降低PD-L1水平。mIF显示CD8+ T细胞和巨噬细胞浸润肿瘤巢(P = 0.0496; P = 0.0017)和肿瘤间质(P = 0.0049)增加,TME浸润总体增加(P = 0.0139; P = 0.0321)。结论:RT诱导PD-L1表达,增强CD8+ T细胞和巨噬细胞在宫颈癌患者TME中的浸润。因此,它可能为后续免疫治疗的协同作用建立一个有利的免疫环境。
