Contemporary management of uterine clear cell carcinoma: A Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) review and recommendation.   
ABSTRACT
Uterine clear cell cancer (UCCC) is a rare but aggressive disease. Due to its rarity, large, prospective studies focused on UCCC are exceedingly difficult therefore available data are generally from small, retrospective studies. There is also pertinent information from subsection analysis of larger studies that include UCCC and other histotypes. In 2009, the clinical practice committee of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) published a review on UCCC aimed at guiding management. Since that publication, there have been developments which are relevant to UCCC, these include availability of data from landmark trials regarding adjuvant therapy, increasing utilization of sentinel lymph node approach and availability of immunotherapy as a treatment option. This SGO review is updated with all relevant, published information since 2009 considered clinically important for management of UCCC. In addition, it follows the new SGO's style for this type of publication which includes utilization of the question and answer format.
