Objective To explore the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics，prognostic factors of pailents with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix.Methods The clinical,pathologic and follow-up data of patients with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix treated in our hospital from Jan 2003 to Dec 2006 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The relative literature was reviewed.Results Five patients with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix were treated(1 case stage Ⅰ b1，2 of stage Ⅰ b2，1of stage Ⅱ a，1 of stage Ⅳa).The mean age was 40.2 years(32 to 50 years).The primary symptom was mostly irregularly vaginal bleeding(3/5)and clinical type was predominantly(4/5)endophytie growth.The positive rate of cervical cytologic examination was 2/4,the negative rate of cervical human papillomavirus(HPV)DNA examination was 4/4.Serum CA125 level was abnormal(62.5 to 592.1 kU/L)before operation and when relapse occurred,and returned to normal after operation.All of five patients underwent operation,pathologic examination showed that three patients with infihration in deep 1/2 myomctrium of cervix,and two patients with infiltration in cervix-corpus juncture.Four patients underwent radical abdominal hysterectomy with systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy.All of four patients underwent four courses of chemotherapy with fluorouracil(5-FU)and carboplatin，one patient(stage Ⅱ a)was added with intracavitary brachytherapy.None of the four patients had relapse or metastasis after a follow-up of 10 to 44 months.The patient with stage Ⅳ a underwent firstly hysterectomy and prerectum mass removal.Pelvic relapse occurred three months after operation and the patient then underwent the second operation，external beam radiotherapy and intracavitary brachytherapy and 8 courses of chemotherapy with paclitaxel(taxol) and carboplatin.There was no relapse or metastasis after a follow-up of 26 months.Conclusions Primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix may be unrelated to HPV infection.It shows predominantly endophytic growth and tends toward deep infiltration in cervix and extending to uterine corpus.Operation combined with chemotherapy with carboplatin and 5-FU or taxol may lead to relatively perfect short-term therapeutical effect.Serum CA125 can help to monitor prognosis.Objective To study the clinical characteristics，treatment modalities.and prognosis of cervical adenosquamous carcinoma.Methods The data of 21 patients with adenosquamous cervical cancer who were admitted into Zhongnan Hospital，Wuhan University from Jan 2001 to Dec 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.Six patients received Surgical therapy only and 15 patients received combined therapy.Results Seven cases were with positive pelvic lymph node metastases and 3 cases were with ovarian metastases.The median survival time of the combined therapy group and surgical therapy group was 54 and 20 months，respectively.In stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ patients，the median survival time of the combined therapy group and surgical therapy group was 66 and 20 months,respectively.The difference was significant between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusions Combined therapy should be given to patients with adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix.Surgical therapy and chemotherapy play an important role in the management and prognosis of adenoquamous carcinoma of cervix.Preserve of ovary for patients with adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix should only be done when the ovary is confirmed free from any malignant involvement by pathology.
