Abstract
Desmoplastic reaction (DR) and inflammation are significant pathological manifestations of tumorigenesis in several cancers. However, the correlation between these stromal reactions and cervical adenocarcinoma has been poorly documented. This investigation elucidated whether DR is a prognostic indicator in early cervical adenocarcinoma patients. Fifty-nine patients with early stage cervical adenocarcinoma (stages I/II) were included in the study. DR was divided into three groups, mature, intermediate, and immature, based on the presence of myxoid stroma and hyalinized keloid-like collagen. Inflammatory cell responses were classified as mild, moderate, and severe. Those stromal reactions were separately evaluated in the invasion front stroma and intratumoral stroma. In both the intratumor and invasion front stroma, intermediate/immature DR was correlated with tumor size, T stage, N stage, lymphovascular invasion, and parametrial infiltration (p < 0.001 to p < 0.05). In addition, in the intratumoral stroma, intermediate/immature DR led to short relapse-free survival and overall survival (p < 0.001). In the invasion front stroma, inflammatory cell responses were associated with DR immaturity and FIGO stage (p < 0.01). These results suggest that the classification of DR maturity is a potential prognostic biomarker in early stage cervical adenocarcinoma patients. DR can be evaluated by routine H&E staining without immunohistochemistry, making it convenient and economical in clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
Medical Molecular Morphology is an international forum for researchers in both basic and clinical medicine to present and discuss new research on the structural mechanisms and the processes of health and disease at the molecular level. The structures of molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, and organs determine their normal function. Disease is thus best understood in terms of structural changes in these different levels of biological organization, especially in molecules and molecular interactions as well as the cellular localization of chemical components. Medical Molecular Morphology welcomes articles on basic or clinical research in the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, and medical, veterinary, and dental sciences using techniques for structural research such as electron microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, enzyme histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, radioautography, X-ray microanalysis, and in situ hybridization.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
