Agresive variants of uterine cervical cancers

Abstract

Three different variants of biologically agressive cervical cancers, such as: basaloid carcinoma, glassy cell carcinoma and small cell endocrine carcinoma, have been reported. Hematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid-Schiff and immunohistochemical stains were used. The course of disease and aplication of treatment has been analyzed as well. Characteristic morphologic features of these cancers have been emphasized. Rather limited susceptibility for radiotherapy and chemiotherapy of these cancers has not gone unnoticed. The description of these types of cervical cancers might enable us to arrive at right conclusions, both clinical and diagnostic.
