Cervical cancer - does the morphological subtype affect survival rates?

This study uses excess mortality modelling to investigate the effects of the morphological subtypes whilst adjusting the other factors that affect cervical cancer survival such as stage, age and grade. What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research: It is known that cervical neuroendocrine tumours have a poor prognosis and this is confirmed by this study. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), adenocarcinomas (AC) and adenosquamous carcinomas (ASC) have the highest net survival and when accounting for other factors there are no differences amongst these morphological subtypes in terms of survival.
