Abstract
The objective is to investigate the activity and toxicity of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) regimen in ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OGCTs). Twenty consecutive patients with initial metastatic (5 patients) or recurrent (15 patients) OGCT were treated; BEP regimen: B: 30 mg intravenously or intramurally on days 1, 8, and 15; E: 100 mg/m2/day on days 1–5; and P: 20 mg/m2/day on days 1–5. Median age: 42 years (range: 17–60); median follow-up: 45 months (range: 3–112). The overall response rate is 90% (nine clinical complete response [CR], nine clinical partial response) with a median duration of 24 months (range: 4–77). A second-look laparotomy performed in 11 patients showed a pathologic CR in 7 cases and microscopic disease in 1 case. Seven patients remain free of disease (at 4–84 months); 11 patients relapsed (median: 24 months, range: 13–58), 12 patients are still alive, and 9 patients are without disease (2 patients in second CR). At 4 years, overall survival and event-free survival are respectively 58% and 30%. Toxicity is evaluable for 19 patients (48 cycles). A grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 15% of cycles (in seven patients) with a febrile neutropenia in four patients. Five patients experienced a low bleomycin pulmonary toxicity. BEP regimen appears to be an active regimen for OGCT in first-line chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian yolk sac tumor (YST) is a very rare malignancy arising in young women. Chemotherapy has dramatically improved the prognosis. Current treatment consists of surgery followed by bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) chemotherapy. However, given the rarity of this tumor, ovarian YST-specific survival and outcome after such treatment are not precisely known. PATIENTS AND METHODS This report concerns prospectively recorded cases that were either treated at Institut Gustave Roussy (Villejuif, France) or referred there for advice about therapy. From 1990 to 2006, 52 patients underwent surgery followed by BEP chemotherapy. Data on patient characteristics, treatment, survival, and fertility outcome were analyzed to assess treatment efficacy and gonadal toxicity after achieving a complete remission. RESULTS Thirty-five patients had stage I/II tumors while 17 patients presented with stage III/IV disease. With a median follow-up of 68 months, the overall 5-year survival and disease-free survival rates were 94% and 90%, respectively. Forty-one women underwent fertility-sparing surgery. Pregnancy was achieved in 12 of 16 (75%) women who attempted conception. Overall, 19 pregnancies have been recorded. CONCLUSIONS BEP chemotherapy following fertility-sparing surgery is a very effective treatment of ovarian YSTs. Most of the patients who attempt conception after complete remission will have children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evaluation of first-line intensive combination therapy in small cell carcinoma of the ovary (SCCO). PATIENTS AND METHODS Debulking surgery; four to six cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin (P) 80 mg/m(2) day 1, adriamycin (A) 40 mg/m(2) day 1, vepeside (V) 75 mg/m(2)/day days 1-3, cyclophosphamide (EP) 300 mg/m(2)/day days 1-3, every 3 weeks and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with, in case of a complete remission, high-dose chemotherapy with carboplatin, vepeside, cyclophosphamide and stem-cell support. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients (median age 25 years); International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage: five I, four IIC, 17 IIIC-IV and one unknown. Twenty patients underwent complete surgery. Eight patients progressed under chemotherapy. Among 18 patients in complete response (CR), 10 received high-dose chemotherapy (CT) (three stem-cell collection failures, two protocol violations, two disease progression and one refusal). The main grade 3-4 toxic effects were hematologic. There were eight relapses among the 18 CR, four of which were pelvic alone. Among the 27 patients, 13 died and 10 patients are in CR1, three in CR2. The median follow-up is 37 months (8-166) and the median duration of the 18 CR is 30 months (5-111). Overall survival at 1 and 3 years is 58% [confidence interval (CI) 40% to 75%] and 49% (CI 30% to 67%). CONCLUSIONS Initial dose-intensive therapy achieves interesting overall survival in SCCO.

Abstract
Increased bone formation by PTH mainly results from activation of osteoblasts, an effect largely mediated by the cAMP-PKA pathway. Other pathways, however, are likely to be involved in this process. In this study we investigated whether PTH can activate p38 MAPK and the role of this kinase in osteoblastic cells. Bovine PTH(1-34) and forskolin markedly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and doubled osteocalcin (Oc) expression in early differentiating MC3T3-E1 cells. These effects were associated with increase in cellular cAMP and activation of the MAP kinases ERK and p38. Activation of these MAP kinases was detectable after 1 h incubation with 10(-7) M PTH and lasted 1-2 h. Activation of p38 was mimicked by 10 microM forskolin and prevented by H89 suggesting a cAMP-PKA-dependent mechanism of p38 activation. Interestingly, PTH-induced ALP stimulation was dose-dependently inhibited by a specific p38 inhibitor with no change in the generation of cAMP and the production of osteocalcin. Similar inhibitory effect was obtained in cells stably expressing a dominant-negative p38 molecule. Finally, treatment of MC3T3-E1 cells with PTH for 3 weeks significantly enhanced matrix mineralization and this effect was markedly reduced by a selective p38 but not a specific MEK inhibitor. In conclusion, data presented in this study indicate that PTH can activate p38 in early differentiating osteoblastic cells. Activation of p38 is cAMP-PKA-dependent and mediates PTH-induced stimulation of ALP which plays a critical role for the calcification of the bone matrix.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To summarize the indications and evaluate the Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) performances in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and other otologics indications, as postmeningitis ossified cochlea. MATERIAL AND METHODS Main and first indication of ABI is NF2. Emergent indications are bilateral total ossified cochlea, vestibular schwannoma with controlateral lesions, cochlear nerve aplasia or inner ear's malformations. The pre-operative evaluation includes clinical, radiological, lipreading, and psychological status. A translabyrinthine or retrosigmoid approach is performed, depending on tumoral or not tumoral status. The auditory perception with the ABI is evaluated by testing, the words recognition in open-set lists, and the speech understanding with usual sentences. RESULTS In NF2 patients, best results are obtained in cases of smaller vestibular schwannoma and none, or short term, auditory deprivation. Negative prognostic factors are duration of total hearing loss (>10 years), tumor size (>30 mm), difficulties in electrode array placement, complications during post-operative course and number of active electrodes (<10). In cases of postmeningitis total deafness with totally ossified cochlea, results demonstrate a good benefit reaching these obtained with cochlear implant in post-meningitis deafness. CONCLUSION These results show a clear benefit of ABI in NF2 patients, with or without previous tumor removal, in case of small tumor with a short duration of hearing loss. In case of postmeningitis ossified cochlea, results potentially reach those of cochlear implants.

Abstract
9551 Background: Ifosfamide-induced nephrotoxicity is a significant issue in patients treated for tumours during childhood. This study aimed at documenting incidence of late renal toxicity of ifosfamide and its risk factors. Methods: 183 patients have been investigated. 100 were male. Median age at treatment was 9.3 years (0.4–18 years). Median dose of ifosfamide was 54 g/m2 (18–77 g/m2). No patients received cisplatin and/or carboplatinum. Diagnoses included rhabdomyosarcoma (77), other soft tissue sarcoma (39), Ewing (39), and osteosarcoma (28). Investigations were performed at a median interval of 10.3 years (5–20.7) after the end of the treatment, at a median age of 21.6 years (7.1–44.2). No patient had electrolyte or vitamine supplementation. Glomerular and tubular functions were graded according to the Skinner's system. Results: After 5 year minimal follow-up 55% had normal tubular and 79% had normal glomerular functions. Natraemia, kalaemia, serum HCO3 and calcaemia were normal in all patients. Hypomagnesaemia was observed in 4, hypophosphaetemia in 8 %. The tubular threshold for phosphate was reduced in 44% of the patients (grade 2 or 3 in 15%, grade 3 in 1 pt). Significant glycosuria (> 0.5 g/24h) was detected in 5 % of the patients but it was clearly abnormal only in 5 patients. 34% of the patients had beta2 microglobulinuria, however, proteinuria was observed in only 12%. Cumulative dose of ifosfamide, older age at treatment and follow-up since treatment were predictor for tubulopathy in univariate and multivariate analyse. The glomerular filtration rate was normal in 79% of the patients. 21% had a grade 1 toxicity and 1 patient a grade 2. Univariate analysis did not find any prognostic factor for glomerular toxicity apart from the association with tubular toxicity. Conclusions: Since ifosfamide-induced renal toxicity can be severe, long term evaluation is important and this risk should be balanced carefully against efficacy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
16032 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of histological response at the time of interval debulking surgery (IDS) in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for unresectable advanced-stage ovarian cancer (ASOC). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in our institution to select cases fulfilling 3 following inclusion criteria: 1. Patients with unresectable (evaluated in most of them with initial surgery + biopsies) ASOC. All patients had residual disease > 2 cm after such initial surgery; 2. At least 3 courses of platinum + paclitaxel NACT; 3. Patients undergoing after NACT an IDS with absence of macroscopic residual disease at the end of the debulking surgery. IDS was followed by post-operative chemotherapy. Patients were classified into 3 groups according to the histological response (in the peritoneum & nodes) after NACT: group 1: no residual disease in peritoneum; group 2: persistent residual disease but with histological signs of chemoactivity (marked histological changes) and group 3: persistence of at least 1 site with no changes in the tumor (persistence of very active cells). Survival was compared between these 3 groups. Results: Fifty-eight patients treated between 1997 and 2004 fulfilled inclusion criteria (49 had stage IIIC and 9 stage IV disease). Respectively 47 & 11 patients received 3–4 or 5–6 courses of chemotherapy before IDS. Respectively 11, 11 and 36 patients were in groups 1, 2 & 3. The median time of follow-up was 41 months. Three-year overall survival in groups 1, 2 & 3 was respectively: 81%, 39% and 62% (no statistical difference). Three- year event-free survival in groups 1, 2 & 3 was respectively: 46%, 18% and 19% (p=.04 between group 1 versus 2+3). Conclusions: These results suggest that the degree of histological response have a limited impact on the survival of patients when complete debulking surgery is achieved at IDS. The degree of tumor cell viability after initial chemotherapy is not a reliable marker for modifying chemotherapy after debulking surgery in such patients.

Abstract
9542 Background: Prognosis factors on outcome for metastatic RMS are still matter of discussion. The analysis of a large cohort of patients can give arguments for development of risk-based therapy. Methods: We studied data from SIOP 84, SIOP 98, European Intergroup MMT89–91, Italian RMS4.99, IRS-III, -IV Pilot, -IV, -V, -D9501 to look at the influence of age, histology, sites of primary and metastatic disease, and number of sites of metastatic disease at the 3 year event-free survival. Results: 788 patients were included in the analyze and 776 in the multivariate analyse. The 3 year overall survival and EFS were 34% (se 1.7) and 27 % (se 1.6) respectively. By univariate analysis, 3-year EFS was significantly influenced by age 10 years or more (15% vs 36%), alveolar histology (28% vs 40%), location of primary tumor in unfavorable site -parameningeal, extremity and “other” sites- (31% vs 48%) the presence of three or more metastatic (17% vs 38%), the presence of bone or bone marrow involvement (24% vs 45%). By multivariate analysis, histology had no more impact on EFS. The EFS was strongly correlated to the number of the 4 other unfavorable prognostic factors: age, site of the primary, number of metastis sites, bone/bone marrow involvement relative risks were 1.6 for age (p<0.0001), 1.4 for site of primary tumor (p=0.002), 1.3 for bone/bone marrow involvement (p=0.005), 1.4 for number of metastatic sites (p=0.002). EFS was 58% for the 46 patients without any factors and was respectively 40%, 22%, 14% and 4% in patients with 1 factor (250 patients), 2 factors (233 patients), 3 factors (177 patients) or 4 factors (70 patients) (p<0.01). Conclusions: This analysis identified subsets of patients with very different outcomes. Patients with EFS less than 50% might be appropriate candidates for experimental approaches.

Abstract
5513 Background: Germline mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes account for the majority of hereditary breast-ovarian carcinomas. Nevertheless, in some patients with family history of ovarian cancers, neither point mutations nor genomic alterations are identified. Recently, IRIS gene, an open reading frame that extended from codon 1 of BRCA1 to a termination point in intron 11, has been identified. The encoded protein has been reported to play a role in controlling the replication origins firing (ROF) pathway. The study presented here aims at characterizing whether ROF-related proteins are differentially expressed among familial ovarian cancers associated with a germline BRCA1 or 2 mutation, familial ovarian cancers with wild-type BRCA1/2 genes, and sporadic ovarian cancers. Methods: Tumor samples from 72 patients with ovarian cancer and screened for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation because of family history of breast/ovarian cancer were collected. These cases were matched with 134 sporadic ovarian cancers (controls) according to age, year of diagnosis, tumor stage, histological subtype, and grade. The cases distributed among 26 BRCA1-linked (BRCA1*) tumors, 9 BRCA2-linked (BRCA2*) tumors and 37 with no identified mutation (BRCA1wt/BRCA2wt). Tissue micro-arrays were prepared from the paraffin blocks. P53, MCM3, MCM4, Geminin, PTTG and BRCA1-IRIS immuno-expression were scored with no information on the sample group as follows: the final score was the product of the positive cells percentage by the staining intensity, the final result being used as a continuous variable. Differences between cases and controls were tested by a Wilcoxon test for paired samples. Results: IRIS expression was significantly higher in familial cancers than in controls (P=0.002). When BRCA1/2 genes status was taken into account, differences remained significant when BRCA1wt/BRCA2wt tumors (P=0.04), but not when BRCA1* tumors were compared with controls. However, the latter showed significant higher expression of Geminin than controls (P=0.04). Conclusions: BRCA-1 IRIS protein is overaccumulated in ovarian cancers developed by patients with family history. Our results suggest IRIS may play a role in the development of ovarian cancers and could be related with an ovarian susceptibility. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
5542 Background: Standard primary treatment for locally ACC is RT with concomitant chemotherapy (CT). CB and P are radiosensitizers with in vitro synergistic action. Methods: Patients (pts) with FIGO stage IIB-IVA negative paraaortic lymph nodes cervical cancer were treated with 6 weekly cycles of CT during pelvic RT (45 Gy) and brachytherapy (BT) according to Table 1 . Each dose escalation step followed a 30-day period of observation on cohorts of 3 to 6 pts depending on dose limiting toxicity (DLT): toxic death; garde (G) 4 neutropenia > 1 week; G 4 toxicity (other hematologic or non-hematologic); any toxicity requiring = 1 week delay in RT, or > 2 dose reductions of CT, or G 3/4 hematologic toxicity > 3 weeks after treatment’s end; unendurable G 3 non hematologic toxicity. Results: 23 pts were included by 5 centers in 5 dose levels (L). Stage distribution: IIB (10), III (11), IVA (2); 20 epidermoid and 3 adenocarcinoma; ECOG: 0 (16), 1 (7). 22 pts received the 6 planned cycles. Median dose of irradiation was 45 Gy (43.2–50) with no toxicity related interruption. 17 pts underwent BT, 2 had hysterectomy and 1 received complementary external irradiation 12 Gy. CT dose reduction was necessary in 4 pts (cycle 5 or 6) and cycles postponed for 10 pts (cycle. 5 or 6). One pt experienced paclitaxel allergy at L1. G 3 anemia and/or neutropenia were reported in 11 pts and G 4 neutropenia = 1 week in 2 pts. Radiodermatitis occurred in 5 pts, asthenia in 3 and nausea in 1. One DLT was observed: unendurable G 3 asthenia + G 3 neutropenia and leucopenia at L3. Clinical and radiological complete response was obtained in 13 pts, 5 PRs and 2 SDs in 20 evaluable pts. Conclusions: Acceptable toxicity and optimal irradiation were possible at L4 in 7 pts. These doses are recommended for future phase II studies of concomitant CT/RT in ACC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of benign rectovaginal fistula has a high failure rate and entails difficult decisions. The purpose of this retrospective study was to clarify the concepts which may improve its management. METHODS Between 1983 and 2004, 46 consecutive women of median age 41 years were treated by the same surgeon. Etiology of simple fistulas was iatrogenic (n=6), obstetric (n=4) and septic (n=3). Complex fistulas were due to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) (n=18, 11 pouchvaginal) or were iatrogenic (n=9), actinic (n=5) or septic (n=1). Surgical techniques included endorectal or vaginal advancement flaps, fistulectomy and sphincteroplasty, vaginal/rectal closure and epiploplasty, restorative proctectomy and restorative proctocolectomy. In 20 patients, a diverting stoma was performed as a single procedure or concomitant to the curative attempt. RESULTS Overall, 33 of the 39 fistulas (85%) treated for cure healed, including all simple fistulas and 20 complex fistulas (8 iatrogenic, 3 actinic, 2 ulcerative colitis without restorative proctocolectomy; 5 pouch vaginal; 1 septic; 1 Crohn's disease) (p=0.009). The first operation for the fistula was curative in 20 of 39 fistulas, including 10 of 13 simple and 10 of 26 complex fistulas (p=0.023). There was no significant age difference between cured and not-cured patients. CONCLUSIONS Simple versus complex fistulas is the most determinant factor for healing. In IBD fistulas, ulcerative colitis shows better prognosis than Crohn's disease. For complex fistulas, a temporary diverting stoma seems necessary.

Abstract
AIM The alfa(v)beta(3) integrin is involved in angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-peptides bind with high affinity to this integrin. This study compares the influence of (99m)Tc-labeling applying novel Technetium-cores on imaging characteristics of the radiolabeled peptide. METHODS Different peptide conjugates based on the cyclic pentapeptide c(RGDyK) (cRGD) were prepared and characterized (HYNIC-, Cys-, L2- and Pz1-cRGD). Radiolabeling experiments using different coligands for HYNIC-cRGD, the (99m)Tc(CO)(3) metal fragment for PZ-1-cRGD (pyrazolyl-derivative), the Tc-nitrido-core using a phosphine-coligand (PNP) for Cys-cRGD and an isonitrile-conjugate (L2-cRGD) together with a NS(3)-coligand (4+1 concept) were performed and showed labeling yields >90% at high specific activities. RESULTS A high in vitro stability was observed, plasma protein binding and lipophilicity varied considerably between different radiolabeled cRGD conjugates. Experiments on biological activity of the radiolabeled peptides using alfa(v)beta(3) positive (M21) and negative (M21L) tumor cells did show specific uptake of various conjugates. Studies in tumor bearing animals revealed significant differences between different conjugates concerning pharmacokinetic behavior (predominant renal excretion to considerable hepatobiliary clearance) as well as tumor uptake (0.2-2.7%ID/g). Highest specific tumor uptake and tumor/background values were found for [(99m)Tc]EDDA/HYNIC-c(RGDyK), [(99m)Tc]Nitrido-PNP-Cys-c(RGDyK) and [(99m)Tc(CO)(3)]-Pz1-c(RGDyK). CONCLUSIONS Using novel Tc-cores such as the (99m)Tc(CO)(3) metal fragment, Tc-nitrido- and the 4+1 concept peptides could be labeled with [(99m)Tc]technetium at high specific activities resulting in complexes with high stability, but binding moieties have to be optimized especially concerning hydrophilicity resulting in renal rather than hepatobiliary excretion. This comparative study underlines that peptide labeling strategies using (99m)Tc have to be properly selected and optimized. Different in vitro assays are necessary to predict targeting properties in vivo.

Abstract
The synthesis and evaluation of a series of oxotechnetium and oxorhenium complexes containing a nitroaromatic moiety as potential radiopharmaceuticals for targeting tumour hypoxia is presented. 99mTc labelling was performed in high yield (>85%) and radiochemical purity (>90%). Their structure was corroborated by means of the rhenium complexes. Reduction potentials were in the range for bioreducible compounds. 99mTc complexes III-VI were selected for "in vivo" experiments in view of the results of cytotoxicity studies. Biodistribution in normal animals was characterized by high initial blood, lung and liver uptake, fast blood and soft tissue depuration and preferential excretion via the hepatobiliary system. Initial tumour uptake was moderate but tumour/muscle ratios for complexes III and IV, were favourable at all time points. Although the results are encouraging further development is still necessary in order to achieve higher tumour uptake and lower gastrointestinal activity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the outcome of infants with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of malignant mesenchymal tumor (MMT) included in the International Society of Paediatric Oncology studies MMT 84 and MMT 89. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred two infants (< or = 12 months old) were included. Twenty-four children were less than 3 months old, and 16 were less than 1 month old. Sixty-four patients had rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), 26 had undifferentiated sarcoma, and 12 had other histology. Clinical TNM stage was stage I (41%), II (39%), III (6%), and IV (14%). First-line treatment was ifosfamide, vincristine, dactinomycin, whereas the second-line combination consisted of either cisplatin and doxorubicin (in MMT 84) or vincristine, carboplatin, etoposide/teniposide (in MMT 89). Chemotherapy doses were adapted to age. Local therapy was conservative surgery as often as possible. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 7.8 years (range, 0.1 to 13 years), 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival rates were 66% and 55% for the total study population and 72% and 60% for nonmetastatic patients, respectively. Only two of 13 stage IV patients survived. Sixty-seven percent of newborn infants survived. Infants with alveolar subtype had a poorer survival than those with non-RMS MMT or nonalveolar RMS (5-year OS, 37% v 75% or 82%, respectively; P = .002). When compared with older children with MMT, young age does not seem to be an important prognostic factor. CONCLUSION OS was satisfactory even when local treatment was not aggressive, although the prognosis was poor for infants with alveolar RMS or metastatic tumors. Chemotherapy toxicity was manageable with appropriate dose modification.

Abstract
The aim of this report is to describe a novel technical approach to total anorectal reconstruction after a Miles operation for rectal cancer. Recreation of an internal neosphincter with colonic muscle, the implant of an artificial bowel sphincter (ABS), and the association of a coloplasty constitute a complete substitution of the lost structures and functions. Although the patient developed a late complication which required removal of the ABS, the functional result of the technique can be considered as excellent, to be demonstrated by the incontinence score and quality of life with and without the colostomy.

Abstract
AIM To determine the incidence and predictive value of residual disease in the hysterectomy specimens of cervical cancer patients treated with primary radiotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, followed by surgery and to determine whether pathologically confirmed residual disease is a surrogate marker of outcome. METHODS The medical records of patients treated for stage IB/II carcinoma of the cervix in a single institution between 1985 and 2000 were retrospectively analysed into two different groups, depending on whether they had received radiotherapy or concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Six to 8 weeks after irradiation, all patients underwent radical or extrafascial hysterectomy and pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. RESULTS A total of 403 patients were included in the study (360 in the radiotherapy only group and 43 in the chemo-radiotherapy group). One hundred and seventy-eight patients had residual disease on hysterectomy specimens in the radiotherapy group. Considering only the stages IB2 and II, 126 (52%) and 16 (37%) patients had residual disease on hysterectomy specimens in the radiotherapy group and in the chemo-radiotherapy group, respectively (P=0.08). Residual disease was associated with pelvic and para-aortic nodal metastases. The 5-year local control and overall survival rates were 88 and 86%, respectively, in the patients with complete pathologic response and 73 and 62%, respectively, in the patients with residual disease (P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, FIGO stage, residual disease, and pathologic nodal involvement were independent predictive factors of both local recurrence and overall survival. CONCLUSION Pathologically confirmed residual disease on hysterectomy specimen is an independent and strong predictive factor of both local recurrence and overall survival.

Abstract
AIMS To study the prognosis of patients with stage IIIC/IV primary peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma (PSPC) (study group) compared with that of patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) (control group). METHODS A retrospective case-control study including a study group of 37 patients who were matched with a control group of 37 patients. Patients were matched for the histologic subtype (serous tumor), tumor stage, tumor grade, residual disease at the end of debulking surgery (initial or interval) and age (+/-5 years). RESULTS Debulking surgery was performed initially or at interval surgery in respectively, 10 and 27 patients in the study group and 17 and 20 in the control group. All patients were treated with platinum-based chemotherapy (combined with paclitaxel in 33) in both groups. The overall survival rate at 3 years in the study and control groups was, respectively, 60% versus 55% (NS). However, event-free survival rates at 3 years (CI 95%) were statistically different (respectively, 29% in the study group versus 16% in the control group: p=0.008). CONCLUSIONS Peritoneal disease is more bulky in patients with PSPC. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is more often required to achieve optimal debulking surgery in PSPC. Overall survival of patients with PSPC is similar to that of their EOC counterparts. Thus, the management of PSPC should not be different from that of advanced stage EOC.
