Abstract
Introduction/Background The SUCCOR study initially reported relevant findings in 2020 from a large European international study with a 5-year follow-up. Now, we offer an update, extending the analysis to a 10-year follow-up, addressing gaps in limited information about prolonged outcomes for this disease.
Methodology Contacting SUCCOR database authors, we requested data updates for 1272 patients. We dispatched a Case Report Form (CRF) to researchers from 126 institutions across 29 European countries. Our focus included tracking late recurrences and monitoring relapsed patients‘ progression, leading to a meticulous update of the 10-year follow-up for all participants.
Results The long-term analysis of 556 patients demonstrated an 8.81% relapse rate over a median 102-month follow-up. The 10-year overall survival stood at 91%, a decrease from 97% at the 5-year mark. Similarly, disease-free survival reached 90%, slightly lower than the 93% observed at 5 years. The data indicated that 77% of relapses occurred within the initial five years, highlighting a 3.22 relative risk for relapsing pre-5 years compared to post-5 years.
Regarding relapse locations, 55% occurred locally within five years, and after 5 years, 45.5% experienced local recurrences. No significant differences were found between the two groups. Patients with recurrences faced a 24-fold higher mortality risk (OR 23.7, 95%CI 11.4-47.8, p<0.001). The 2-year survival post-recurrence was 69% for those relapsing before 5 years and 80% after 5 years. However, during the last follow-up, 45% of patients with pre-5-year relapses were still alive, compared to 72% in the post-5-year relapse group over a median 34-month follow-up.
Conclusion In the Succor study, the 10-year overall survival and disease-free survival after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer were 91% and 90%, respectively. Patients facing recurrence had a 24-fold higher risk of death. Notably, 77% of recurrences appeared within the initial 5 years, while 45% of relapsed patients remained alive after 34-months of follow-up
