Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Primary lymphomas of the uterus or cervix are so rare that treatment series of single institutions consist of very small numbers of patients, making standard treatment difficult to define. The outcome of patients treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy was analyzed for all but patients with the most advanced disease. METHODS:From 1976 to 1992, 16 patients received definitive treatment. Thirteen patients had intact uteri (group 1) and 3 presented with paracolpal lymphomas after previous hysterectomies (group 2). Twelve of the patients received chemotherapy and external irradiation. The remaining four underwent only chemotherapy. The overall survival and freedom from disease progression were analyzed according to Kaplan-Meier methods. Prognoses were related to the International Index, Ann Arbor stage, and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage. RESULTS:Five-year survival and freedom from disease progression were 77% and 67%, respectively, for group 1, and all patients in group 2 were cured. A statistically significant correlation of survival with scores of the International Index was found in group 1. For patients with scores in the low or low-intermediate range (n = 10), 5-year survival was 90%. All patients who scored in the high-intermediate or high range (n = 3) died by 66 months after their diagnosis (P = 0.0153). The Ann Arbor stage had less predictive value, with 5-year survival of 89% for Stage I and II patients (n = 9), compared with 50% survival for the four Stage III and IV patients (P = 0.0701). International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging did not predict outcome. CONCLUSIONS:The combination of chemotherapy and irradiation is the most effective treatment regimen for all uterine and cervical lymphomas. The International Index is most predictive of outcome.
