Poorer prognosis of ovarian squamous cell carcinoma than serous carcinoma: a propensity score matching analysis based on the SEER database
BACKGROUND: Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare cancer with possible poor survival, however no direct evidence supports this viewpoint and the independent prognostic factors are controversial. Patients with ovarian SCC and serous carcinoma (SC) who were diagnosed between 2004 and 2016 we...

description | BACKGROUND: Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare cancer with possible poor survival, however no direct evidence supports this viewpoint and the independent prognostic factors are controversial. Patients with ovarian SCC and serous carcinoma (SC) who were diagnosed between 2004 and 2016 were selected using the recent released SEER database. Propensity score matching was used to balance the characteristics of the two groups. The difference of survival between patients with ovarian SCC and SC was explored using Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression analyses were performed to further identify the independent prognostic factors among patients with ovarian SCC. RESULTS: Of 15,286 patients (15,106 SC cases and 180 SCC cases), 304 were identified in the matched cohort (200 SC cases and 104 SCC cases). The overall survival and cause-specific survival for patients with SCC were significantly poorer (P(log-rank) < 0.001). The median survival time was 21 months for SCC and 95 months for SC. Patients who underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with hysterectomy and omentectomy seemed to have a better outcome. In multivariate analysis, older age at diagnosis, larger tumor size, bilateral and FIGO stage IV malignancy were the independent risk factors for poor disease outcome. CONCLUSIONS: The prognosis of ovarian SCC is worse than ovarian SC. Older age at diagnosis, advanced disease stage, larger tumor size and bilateral malignancy are the independent risk factors for poor survival. |
