Adeno squamousAdenosquamous cell carcinoma (ASC) carcinoma of the cervix is a rare histological sub typesubtype of cervical carcinoma of cervix.
Pathology
It has components of both cervical adenocarcinoma of cervix and and cervical squamous cell carcinoma of cervix.
Prognosis
An adenosquamous histology appears to be an independent predictor of poor outcome in women with cervical carcinoma compared with their counterparts who have pure adenocarcinoma. TheA significant decrease in survival, however is thought to apply, applies to patients with advanced-stage (usuallydisease, usually FIGO stage IIb or above) disease 1-2.
