ResumoOBJETIVO: Avaliar a preservação da fertilidade e dos ovários em mulheres submetidas à cirurgia por tumor anexial benigno. MÉTODOS: Para este estudo observacional com coleta prospectiva foram incluídas 206 mulheres operadas no CAISM-Unicamp de fevereiro de 2010 a janeiro de 2014. A preservação da fertilidade foi definida como tumorectomia ou anexectomia unilateral sem histerectomia em mulheres na pré-menopausa. A preservação ovariana foi considerada quando pelo menos um ovário ou parte dele foi preservado. RESULTADOS: Das 206 mulheres com tumores anexiais benignos, 120 (58%) estavam na pré-menopausa e 86 (42%) na pós-menopausa. Na pré-menopausa, foram encontrados 36 (30%) tumores de células germinativas, 31 (26%) neoplasias epiteliais e 11 (9%) do cordão sexual e estroma. Na pós-menopausa foram identificados 35 (41%) neoplasias epiteliais, 27 (31%) do cordão sexual e estroma e 8 (9%) de células germinativas. Entre as 36 mulheres com tumores ovarianos não neoplásicos, 21 (58%) apresentavam endometriomas e 8 (22%) cistos funcionais. Das 22 mulheres com tumores extra ovarianos, o leiomioma uterino foi o achado mais frequente (50%). Entre as pacientes com ≤35 anos, 26 (57%) foram submetidas à tumorectomia e 18 (39%) a anexectomia unilateral com preservação do útero e anexo contralateral. Mulheres com ≤35 anos foram mais frequentemente operadas por laparoscopia que esteve associada a maior taxa de preservação de fertilidade quando comparada com a laparotomia (p<0,01). Observou-se que 26 das pacientes submetidas à histerectomia com anexectomia (28%) bilateral estavam na pré-menopausa. CONCLUSÕES: Embora se observe uma tendência em realizar apenas tumorectomia em mulheres com ≤35 anos, uma proporção significativa de mulheres jovens ainda é submetida à anexectomia. Em mulheres entre 36 e 45 anos, apenas dois terços tiveram sua fertilidade preservada e 20% tiveram ambos os ovários removidos. No entanto, deve-se tentar preservar os ovários sempre que possível, sobretudo nas mulheres na pré-menopausa. Abstract PURPOSE:To evaluate the sparing of fertility and ovaries in women submitted to surgical treatment for benign adnexal tumors. METHODS: Between February 2010 and January 2014, 206 patients were included in this observational study as they were submitted to surgical treatment for benign ovarian tumors at CAISM, a tertiary hospital. Fertility sparing surgery was defined as tumorectomy or unilateral salpingoophorectomy without hysterectomy in premenopausal women. Preservation of the ovary occurred when at least one ovary or part of it was mantained. RESULTS: Of the 206 women with benign tumors, 120 (58%) were premenopausal and 86 (42%) were postmenopausal. There were 36 (30%) ovarian germ cell tumors, 31 (26%) epithelial neoplasms and 11 (9%) sex-cord stromal tumors among premenopausal women. In the group of postmenopausal women, 35 (41%) epithelial neoplasms, 27 (31%) sex-cord stromal tumors and 8 (9%) ovarian germ cell tumors were identified. Among 36 women with non-neoplastic ovarian tumors, 21 (58%) had

Cervical adenocarcinoma is associated with a poor prognosis, which may be caused by the infiltrative growth pattern and metastasis of tumor cells. There is a lack of consensus on hysterectomy after radiotherapy for the improvement of selected cases. The present study aimed to assess the oncological outcome of post-radiotherapy hysterectomy in females with cervical adenocarcinoma. A total of 39 females with cervical adenocarcinoma at stages IB1 to IIIB, managed primarily with radiotherapy with complete response, and underwent extrafascial hysterectomy as consolidation therapy between 1988 to 2015 were studied. Surgery complications and residual disease were evaluated. A comparison group was constructed, comprising 41 females with cervical adenocarcinoma managed with exclusive radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy demonstrating complete response, without surgery. Descriptive and survival analysis was performed. The groups were comparable in terms of age, cancer stage, radiotherapy (dose and duration) and follow-up, although 67% of hysterectomies were performed prior to 2002 and 46% of the radiotherapy group received chemoradiation. Late complications were similar. There were nine recurrences (23%) in the case series and 10 recurrences (24%) in the radiotherapy group. Residual disease was detected in 56% (22/39) of uterine specimens, of which 12 were up to 10 mm. Residual disease was associated with recurrence (31% vs. 6%, P=0.028). The overall survival rate was 75% for the case series vs. 88% for the radiotherapy group (P=0.579), and the disease-free survival rate was 79-80% for both. Removal of residual disease by hysterectomy did not improve the overall survival rate (P=0.283) and disease-free survival rate (P=0.072). Post-radiotherapy hysterectomy in cervical adenocarcinoma is a feasible procedure with acceptable complications, however, it did not bring relevant benefits in recurrences, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates.

There were selected 80 cases of women with endocervical adenocarcinomas FIGO IB to IIIB treated with radiotherapy and that had complete response: 39 received a post-radiation hysterectomy and 41 only follow-up, from 1988-2015 cared at University Hospital (Unicamp, Campinas-SP, Brazil). Diseasefree interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) were analysed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. This study was previously approved by local Ethics Committee.

Methods Were selected 80 cases of women with endocervical adenocarcinomas FIGO IB to IIIB from 1988-2015, 39 treated with radiotherapy followed by hysterectomy and isolated radiotherapy for 41. Disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) were analysed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Results There was no difference in OS between the groups (P=0.579) or in the DFI (p=0.963). It was observed that the DFI in patients with residual disease was lower, however without statistical significance (P=0.072). Recurrences were observed in 9/39 patients of the hysterectomy group and 10/41 patients of the isolated radiotherapy group. Residual disease in the hysterectomy group was associated with a higher rate of local and distance recurrence (P=0.028). Conclusions There were no differences in recurrence rates, disease-free interval, and overall survival among the groups, although the detection of residual disease in the hysterectomy was associated with a higher occurrence of recurrences. The findings do not support the routine hysterectomy in women previously irradiated in endocervical adenocarcinoma.
