Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in gynecological cancers: bibliometric trends, clinical insights, and future directions
Background
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by germline mutations in the STK11 tumor suppressor gene. It is characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation, gastrointestinal polyposis, and a significantly elevated risk of various malignancies. While the association between PJS and gastrointestinal cancers is well established, its relationship with gynecological malignancies, particularly gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (G-EAC), remains poorly understood. The rarity and clinical heterogeneity of PJS have hindered the development of evidence-based guidelines, especially for gynecological tumors
Methods
We conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 96 English-language publications from 2010 to 2024 to map global research trends on PJS-related gynecological cancers, identifying key topics and tracing the evolution of knowledge in this field. This was complemented by a retrospective case series analysis of PJS patients diagnosed with G-EAC, integrating clinical, imaging, and pathological data to characterize their disease features.
Results
The bibliometric analysis revealed a growing research focus on STK11 molecular pathogenesis and improved surveillance strategies for PJS. Our case series of 10 PJS patients with G-EAC underscores the early onset and aggressive nature of this malignancy—all cases were HPV-negative. Clinical presentation often included watery vaginal discharge and pelvic pain, with imaging showing cervical masses and pelvic effusions. Pathological review confirmed G-EAC in six patients and atypical lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (aLEGH) in others, highlighting the need for heightened vigilance in monitoring PJS patients.
Conclusion
These findings emphasize the urgent need for individualized, multidisciplinary screening and management strategies for PJS-associated gynecological cancers. Improved awareness of PJS-related G-EAC is crucial for early detection. Integration of genetic counseling, advanced imaging, and molecular diagnostics into routine care for PJS patients will help optimize outcomes in this high-risk population
