  4. Article ; Online: Folate Receptor Alpha Is Preferentially Expressed in the Carcinoma Component of Endometrial Carcinosarcomas: A Potential Target for Adjuvant Therapy.

    Abstract Carcinosarcomas (CSs) of the endometrium are biphasic malignancies, composed of high-grade carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. Surgical stage and pathologic characteristics are the most important prognostic findings, with a 5-yr survival of 15% to 30% in advance stage disease. Folate receptor alpha (FRA) overexpression has been observed in endometrial carcinomas and not yet studied in CSs. This study evaluates semiquantitative expression of FRA in both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components of CSs on whole tissue sections. Immunohistochemistry for FRA expression was performed and extent and intensity of staining were recorded for each case for both histologic components. A total of 46 cases were stained for FRA. The majority of these (40/46, 87%) showed FRA staining at variable intensity in the carcinomatous component, stronger in serous carcinomas and high-grade endometrioid, while only a small subset of tumors demonstrated weak staining in the sarcomatous component (2/46, 4.35%). CS is known to be associated with poor prognosis and adjuvant therapy is recommended even in low stage disease. Serous and high-grade endometrioid carcinomas are the most common carcinomatous components of CSs and are known to show consistently high FRA expression. Folate plays a role in tumor cell migration and loss of cellular adhesion, which are key steps in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, the process by which CS develops from carcinoma cells. Our study shows expression of FRA in the carcinomatous component of almost all CS cases (87%), further favoring FRA as a target for adjuvant treatment. While expression of FRA in the sarcomatous component was rarely observed, the carcinomatous component being associated with metastatic potential underscores the importance of anti-FRA therapy for systemic disease control.

    Abstract Surgery is the primary treatment for vulvar cancer as well as early-stage carcinoma of the cervix. This article reviews the significance of margin status after surgery on overall survival, need for further surgical intervention, and role for possible adjuvant therapy. It summarizes the abundant literature on margin status in vulvar cancer and highlights the need for further investigation on the prognostic significance of margins in cervical cancer. In addition, it reviews other important operative considerations.

    Abstract Introduction: Treatment of advanced stage ovarian carcinoma is challenging, and despite surgical treatment and chemotherapy, the 5-year survival rate is estimated around 30%. Early recurrence and resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy are associated with poor prognosis and limited response to available second-line chemotherapy. The relative incidence of endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC) compared with squamous cell carcinoma is increasing. Although the first-line treatment modality for early stage EAC is surgical resection, for locally advanced disease chemoradiation or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is used. Recently, folate along with its receptor alpha (FRA) has been studied as a potential target in gynecologic malignancy. The objective of this study was to elucidate FRA expression in chemotherapy resistant ovarian cancer and primary EAC.
    Methods: FRA expression was evaluated in tissue samples in an epithelial ovarian tumor microarray and 2 study groups: platinum resistant ovarian cancer and primary EAC. Staining intensity was analyzed with a semiquantitative staining algorithm.
    Results: FRA expression was positive in 32 of 40 (80%) ovarian tumors in the control group. In the platinum resistant ovarian cancer group, FRA was expressed in all 30 samples with moderate to strong staining. None of the EAC samples stained positive for FRA expression.
    Conclusions: FRA expression occurs frequently in epithelial ovarian cancer. Our data supports that FRA expressions are maintained after chemotherapy treatment. Folate targeted therapies may be most useful in patients with chemotherapy resistant disease based on high levels of FRA expression in these tumors. There is likely no benefit to folate therapy as an adjuvant treatment in EAC.
