To describe stage, treatment patterns, and survival for glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix (GCCC), a poorly understood rare tumor. Clinical data and survival were compared between GCCC and more common histologic types using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) from 2004 to 2017. A retrospective review of GCCC cases at our institution from 2012 to 2020 was simultaneously performed with staging updated according to 2018 FIGO staging. Descriptive statistics and survival analyses were performed, and outcomes compared to historical references. 143/89,001 (0.16%) NCDB cervical cancer cases were GCCC. Compared to other histologies, GCCC cases were younger, with 74.8% diagnosed before age 50. Stage distribution was similar. Stage I cases were less commonly treated with surgery alone (19/69, 27%). 79.4% of locally advanced (stage II-IVA) cases were treated with definitive chemoradiation. GCCC demonstrated worse OS for early-stage and locally-advanced disease. No survival differences were observed for patients with stage IVB disease. Our institutional review identified 14 GCCC cases. Median age at diagnosis was 34 years. All nine early-stage cases underwent radical hysterectomy. Adjuvant radiation was given for cases meeting Sedlis criteria (4/9, 44%). All five advanced stage cases were stage IIIC and received definitive chemoradiation. Recurrence rate was 0% (0/9) for early-stage and 60% (3/5) for advanced-stage cases. 3-year PFS was 100% for early-stage and 40% for advanced-stage. 3-year OS was 100% for early-stage and 60% for advanced-stage GCCC. GCCC presents at earlier ages than other cervical cancer histologic types. Although NCDB showed worse OS, our more contemporary institutional review, which incorporates updated staging and newer treatment modalities found outcomes more similar to historical references of more common histologic subtypes. •A National Cancer Database (NCDB) analysis shows worse outcomes for glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix across all stages.•When cases are staged by 2018 FIGO staging, outcomes are not worse for early-stage GCCC in the institutional series.
