Abstract: Objective:To discuss the clinical and pathological features, treatment and prognosis of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (SCNECC). Methods:From June 2012 to September 2017, 19 cases of SCNECC patients were reviewed and their data were analyzed retrospectively. Results:Patients′ age ranged from 30-63 years, with average of (45.8±10.0) years. Clinical stage: 7 stageⅠB1, 5 stageⅠB2, 2 stageⅡA1, 4 stageⅡB, 1 stageⅢB. The tumor size was 2-10 cm, with the average of (4.29±2.43) cm. 16 cases were positive for HPV 18, and 1 case was positive for HPV16. 17 patients underwent radical surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, including 8 patients were treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 9 patients received radiotherapy. Two patients who didn′t received surgery were treated by chemoradiotherapy. The disease-free 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates were 58.6%, 50.2%, 12.6% respectively. The overall 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates were 72.8%, 54.6%, 27.3%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that clinical stage (>ⅡA), lymph node metastasis and the tumor size (>4 cm) were the prognostic risk factors. Conclusions:Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix is a rare disease and associated with high mortality. The diagnosis relys on pathology. Radical surgery is the major therapy for early-stage patients, adjuvant chemotherapy has important significance.
