Conformally invariant tensors on hermitian manifolds
Matsuo, Koji Korean Mathematical Society 1996 대한수학회보 Vol.33 No.3
In [3] and [4], Kitahara, Pak and the author obtained the conformally invariant tensor $B_0$, which is an algebraic Hermitian analogue of the Weyl conformal curvature tensor W in the Riemannian geometry, by the decomposition of the curvature tensor H of the Hermitian connection and the notion of semi-curvature-like tensors of Tanno (see[7]). In [5], the author defined a conformally invariant tensor $B_0$ on a Hermitian manifold as a modification of $B_0$. Moreover he introduced the notion of local conformal Hermitian-flatness of Hermitian manifolds and proved that the vanishing of this tensor $B_0$ together with some condition for the scalar curvatures is a necessary and sufficient condition for a Hermitian manifold to be locally conformally Hermitian-flat.

Objective: To examine the association between tumor grade and survival for women with squamous cervical cancer. Methods: This retrospective observational study utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result program data between 1983 and 2013 to examine women with squamous cervical cancer with known tumor differentiation grade. Multivariable analyses were performed to assess independent associations between tumor differentiation grade and survival. Results: A total of 31,536 women were identified including 15,175 (48.1%) with grade 3 tumors, 14,084 (44.7%) with grade 2 neoplasms and 2,277 (7.2%) with grade 1 tumors. Higher tumor grade was significantly associated with older age, higher stage disease, larger tumor size, and lymph node metastasis (all, p<0.001). In a multivariable analysis, grade 2 tumors (adjusted-hazard ratio [HR]=1.21; p<0.001) and grade 3 tumors (adjusted-HR=1.45; p<0.001) were independently associated with decreased cause-specific survival (CSS) compared to grade 1 tumors. Among the 7,429 women with stage II–III disease who received radiotherapy without surgical treatment, grade 3 tumors were independently associated with decreased CSS compared to grade 2 tumors (adjusted-HR=1.16; p<0.001). Among 4,045 women with node-negative stage I disease and tumor size ≤4 cm who underwent surgical treatment without radiotherapy, grade 2 tumors (adjusted-HR=2.54; p=0.028) and grade 3 tumors (adjusted-HR=4.48; p<0.001) were independently associated with decreased CSS compared to grade 1 tumors. Conclusion: Our study suggests that tumor differentiation grade may be a prognostic factor in women with squamous cervical cancer, particularly in early-stage disease. Higher tumor grade was associated with poorer survival.

Objective: To examine the trends and survival for women with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent adequate lymphadenectomy during surgical treatment. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study examining the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results program between 1988 and 2013. We evaluated 21,537 cases of stage I–II epithelial ovarian cancer including serous (n=7,466), clear cell (n=6,903), mucinous (n=4,066), and endometrioid (n=3,102) histology. A time-trend analysis of the proportion of patients who underwent adequate pelvic lymphadenectomy (≥8 per Gynecologic Oncology Group [GOG] criteria, ≥12 per Collaborative Group Report [CGR] criteria for bladder cancer, and >22 per Mayo criteria for endometrial cancer) and a survival analysis associated with adequate pelvic lymphadenectomy were performed. Results: There were significant increases in the proportion of women who underwent adequate lymphadenectomy: GOG criteria 3.6% to 28.6% (1988–2010); CGR criteria 2.4% to 22.4% (1988–2013); and Mayo criteria 0.7% to 9.5% (1988–2013) (all, p<0.05). On multivariable analysis, adequate lymphadenectomy was independently associated with improved cause-specific survival compared to inadequate lymphadenectomy: GOG criteria, adjusted-hazard ratio (HR)=0.75, CGR criteria, adjusted-HR=0.77, and Mayo criteria, adjusted-HR=0.85 (all, p<0.05). Compared to inadequate lymphadenectomy, adequate lymphadenectomy was significantly associated with improved cause-specific survival for serous (HR range=0.67–0.73), endometrioid (HR range=0.59–0.61), and clear cell types (HR range=0.66–0.73) (all, p<0.05) but not in mucinous type (HR range=0.80–0.91; p>0.05). Conclusion: Quality of lymphadenectomy during the surgical treatment for early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer has significantly improved. Adequate lymphadenectomy is associated with a 15%–25% reduction in ovarian cancer mortality compared to inadequate lymphadenectomy.

Trends of uterine carcinosarcoma in the United States

Objective: Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare type of high-grade endometrial cancer (EC) that has been understudied with population-based statistics due to its rarity. This study examined temporal trends in the proportion of UCS among women with EC. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study examining The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program between 1973–2013. Primary EC cases were eligible for analysis, and a time-specific proportion of UCS was examined during the study period. Results: UCS was seen in 11,000 (4.7%) women among 235,849 primary EC cases. Mean age at UCS diagnosis increased from 65.9 to 71.7 years between 1973–1989 and then decreased from 71.7 to 67.0 years between 1989–2013 (both, p<0.001). Proportion of Black women significantly increased during the study period (11.9%–20.0%, p<0.001), whereas the proportion of White women decreased from 86.0% to 60.5% between 1987–2013 (p<0.001). There was a significant increase in the proportion of UCS among primary EC from 1.7% to 5.6% between 1973–2013 (p<0.001). Among type II ECs (n=76,118), the proportion of UCS also increased significantly from 6.0% to 17.5% between 1973–2013 (p<0.001). An increasing proportion of UCS was seen in both young and older women but the magnitude of interval increase was larger in the older age group between 1973–2013 (<60 years, from 1.3% to 3.3%. p<0.001; and ≥60 years, from 2.6% to 7.0%, p<0.001). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that the proportion of UCS has significantly increased among EC, accounting for more than 5% in recent years.
