[Clinical significance of loop electrosurgical excisional procedure in diagnosis and treatment of cervical adenocarcinoma in situ and invasive cervical adenocarcinoma].
Zhonghua Fu Chan Ke za Zhi 2018 March 26
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of colposcopic biopsy on diagnosis of cervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and the clinical significance of loop electrosurgical excisional procedure (LEEP) on diagnosis and treatment of AIS and invasive adenocarcinoma. Methods: All medical records of 193 patients diagnosed as AIS by colposcopic biopsy and (or) AIS or invasive adenocarcinoma diagnosed by LEEP conization from Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2016 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University were retrospectively reviewed. The final diagnosis was based on colposcopic biopsy or LEEP or the highest grade of pathological diagnosis after hysterectomy. Results: In the 193 patients, 155 cases were finally diagnosed as AIS and 38 cases as invasive adenocarcinoma by histopathologic examination. Among the 155 AIS patients, 21.9% (34/155) had positive cone margins, in which 26 patients had hysterectomy, 30.8% (8/26) had residual disease in hysterectomy specimens; 78.1% (121/155) had negative cone margins, 68 patients with negative margins had hysterectomy and 5.9% (4/68) had residual disease, which was significantly lower than that with positive margins (χ(2)=10.46, P =0.001) . One hundred and twenty from one hundred ninty-three (62.3%, 120/193) with AIS were detected by colposcopy. Pathological diagnosis of 50.8% (98/193) cases were upgraded after LEEP conization. Conclusions: Colposcopy is indispensable for the diagnosis of AIS, but accurate diagnosis should be made by LEEP. LEEP is capable of detecting AIS or cervical adenocarcinoma that was misdiagnosed by colposcopy, which is a pivotal method for accurate diagnosis. The margin status of LEEP is important for patients in choosing further hysterectomy, but the presence of cervical adenocarcinoma should always be aware of.
