The role of adjuvant therapy in stage IA serous and clear cell uterine cancer: A multi-institutional pooled analysis.
OBJECTIVE: As the optimal adjuvant management of stage IA serous or clear cell endometrial cancer is controversial, a multi-institutional review was conducted with the objective of evaluating the appropriateness of various strategies including observation.
METHODS: Retrospective chart reviews for 414 consecutive patients who underwent hysterectomy for FIGO stage IA endometrial cancer with serous, clear cell or mixed histology between 2004 and 2015 were conducted in 6 North American centers. Time-to-event outcomes were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier estimates, log-rank test, univariable and multivariable cox proportional hazard regression models.
RESULTS: Post-operative management included observation (50%), chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) (27%), RT only (16%) and chemotherapy only (7%). The 178 RT patients received external beam (EBRT, 16%), vaginal vault brachytherapy (VVB, 56%) or both (28%). Among patients without any adjuvant treatment, 5-year local control (LC), disease free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were 82% (95% confidence interval: 74-88), 70% (62-78) and 90% (82-94), respectively. CSS in patients without adjuvant treatment was improved with adequate surgical staging (100% vs. 87% (77-92), log-rank p=0.022). Adjuvant VVB was associated with improved LC (5-year 96% (91-99) vs. 84% (76-89), log-rank p=0.007) and DFS (5-year 79% (66-88) vs. 71% (63-77), log-rank p=0.033). Adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with better LC (5-year 96% (90-98) vs. 84% (77-89), log-rank p=0.014) and DFS (5-year 84% (74-91) vs. 69% (61-76), log-rank p=0.009). On multivariable analysis, adjuvant chemotherapy and VVB were associated with improved LC while adjuvant chemotherapy and age were significant for DFS.
CONCLUSIONS: In stage IA serous or clear cell uterine cancer, adjuvant RT and chemotherapy were associated with better LC and DFS. Observation may be appropriate in patients who have had adequate surgical staging

La plume et le sabre
Histoire d’une presse en Révolution, histoire militaire aux multiples facettes, histoire du Consulat et de l’Empire sont autant de thèmes chers à Jean-Paul Bertaud, tant dans ses activités d’inlassable chercheur que par son constant souci d’intégrer ses découvertes à son enseignement, qui a passionné des générations successives d’étudiants. D’un livre à l’autre, ses travaux nous ont donné à voir les réalités contrastées de l’entreprise de presse, les portraits de ceux qui prenaient la plume, intégrant les recherches en cours, en histoire politique comme en histoire culturelle, en histoire sociale comme en histoire militaire. Cette dernière, en profond renouvellement depuis trente ans, a vu Jean-Paul Bertaud engagé sur tous les fronts, du récit classique des batailles aux dimensions anthropologiques du combat et des combattants. Ce temps est certes celui de la Révolution française, mais peut-être surtout celui du Consulat et de l’Empire, dont Jean-Paul Bertaud est devenu l’un des spécialistes reconnus. Jeunes historiens s’inscrivant dans son sillage, auteurs plus chevronnés qui ont souvent été ses compagnons de recherche, chercheurs étrangers qui témoignent du rayonnement international de ses travaux, tous, avec le présent ouvrage, ont voulu rendre hommage au chercheur, à l’enseignant, à l’homme enfin. Les nombreuses contributions ici rassemblées apportent de multiples éclairages sur la presse de la fin de l’Ancien Régime au premières décennies du xixe siècle, sur les diverses manières d’aborder l’histoire militaire, sur les acteurs historiques et les espaces européens à l’époque du Consulat et de l’Empire
