Abstract |
(1) This study investigated the prognostic impact of tumor size in patients with metastatic cervical cancer. (2) Methods: Seventy-three cervical cancer patients in our institute were stratified into two groups based on distant metastasis: para-aortic lymph node metastasis alone (IIIC2) or spread to distant visceral organs with or without para-aortic lymph node metastasis (IVB) to identify primary tumor size and concurrent chemoradiotherapy. (3) Results: The overall survival (OS) for patients with a tumor >6.9 cm in size was significantly poorer than that for patients with a tumor ≤6.9 cm in the IVB group (p = 0.0028); the corresponding five-year OS rates in patients with a tumor ≤6.9 and >6.9 cm were 53.3% and 13.4%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, tumor size and primary treatment were significantly associated with survival in metastatic cervical cancer. (4) Conclusions: Tumor size ≤6.9 cm and concurrent chemoradiotherapy as the primary treatment were favorable prognostic factors for patients with metastatic cervical cancer.
