Abstract

Objectives To correlate the Silva system with prognosis and outcome.

Methods 32 patients with cervical adenocarcinoma were included between 6–90 and 10–16. Median age was 43 years. Median follow-up was 66 months. Slides from surgical specimens were classified by two pathologists. Results were correlated with: tumor size, FIGO staging, site of recurrence, DFS and OS.

Results Twelve patients (37%) had pattern A tumors; all stage I and with no lymph node metastases (LNM) or recurrences. Pattern B was seen in 13 tumors (41%); all stage I, LNM was seen in 2 (15%). One patient had a local recurrence in this group (8%). Pattern C was found in 7 cases (22%), all with LVI. Five (71%) showed LNM and recurrences were recorded in 4 (57%). Tumor size was: <2 cm A: 8 (66%), B: 2 (15%), C: 0 (0%) and = o >2 cm A: 4 (34%), B: 11 (85%) and C: 7 (100%). DFS was: A=73 months, B=76 months, C=58 and the OS was: A=55 months, B=79 months, C=62 months. One Pattern C tumor presented ovarian involvement. The only 2 distant recurrences were Pattern C patients.

Conclusions There is a relation between FIGO staging, DFS and OS. In our series, Pattern C tumors seem to have higher incidence of nodal involvement and local and distant recurrences.
