N2 - Introduction The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the demographics, treatment, and survival rates in patients with uterine clear cell carcinoma (UCCC) and ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program data for all 18 registries from 1988 to 2010 was reviewed to identify women with OCCC and UCCC. Demographic and clinical data were compared, and the impact of tumor site on survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors predictive of outcome were compared using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results The final study group consisted of 5421 women with clear cell histopathology. 3631 (67%) had OCCC and 1790 (33%) had UCCC. The mean age at diagnosis was 56 (± 12) years for women with OCCC and 67.7 (± 12.0) years for UCCC (P < 0.001). Patients with OCCC had a higher rate of late stage disease (38.9% vs. 21.2%; P < 0.001). Over the entire study period, after adjusting for known variables, there was no significant difference in cancer specific mortality between UCCC and OCCC, HR 1.05 (0.92-1.19). In the subset analysis by staging, in women with localized disease there was an improved survival in UCCC compared to OCCC. In contrast, in women with distant disease there was an increased mortality in women with UCCC. Conclusion In the entire population, there was no significant difference in cancer related mortality between the groups. However, in women with localized disease, UCCC had improved survival, but increased mortality in distant disease compared to OCCC.
