Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the kind of ovarian cancer relapse by separating residual from recurrent disease and correlating them with patient survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 200 women with ovarian carcinoma relapse between 2005 and 2017. RESULTS The main sites of residual disease included the great omentum, epiploic appendices, liver round ligament, gallbladder, and cervical/vaginal stump. The median survival for women with residual disease treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) + hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) + systemic chemotherapy was 38 months compared with the control group, which reached 23.8 months. The morbidity rates were 18% vs 7%, respectively, and the mortality rates were 2.5% vs 1.3%. The main sites of recurrent disease included the mesenterium, pelvic floor, diaphragm, and Glisson’s capsule. Women with recurrent disease treated with CRS + HIPEC + systemic chemotherapy had median survival rates of 26 months vs 16 months in the control group. The morbidity rates were 22% vs 15%, respectively, and the mortality rates were 3.3% vs 0%. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing secondary debulking plus HIPEC for ovarian carcinoma relapse have a different prognosis when compared with patients with residual and recurrent disease. A different prognosis is presented in women undergoing secondary debulking plus HIPEC for ovarian carcinoma relapse when comparing patients with residual and recurrent disease.

Abstract
Murici (Byrsonima crassifolia (L.) Kunth and B. verbascifolia (L.) DC.) and tapereba (Spondias mombin) are Amazonian fruits that contain bioactive compounds. Biochemical and molecular characterization of these fruits can reveal their potential use in preventing diseases, including cancer. The extracts were characterized regarding the presence and profile of carotenoids by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), total phenolic content by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay, and antioxidant activity by antioxidant value 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) content analysis, 22,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) content analysis, Ferric-Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP), and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) analysis. The extracts of tapereba and murici studied were important sources of total carotenoids and lutein, respectively. The extracts were then tested for their effect on the viability of the A2780 ovarian cancer (OC) cell line and its cisplatin (CDDP)-resistant derived cell line, called ACRP, by using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assays. Their influence on cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by using flow cytometry. Murici and tapereba cell extracts exhibited a strong bioactivity by inhibiting A2780 and ACRP cell viability by 76.37% and 78.37%, respectively, besides modulating the cell cycle and inducing apoptotic cell death. Our results open new perspectives for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies using these Amazon fruit extracts to sensitize ovarian cancer cells to current chemotherapeutic options.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine if the primary treatment approach (primary debulking surgery (PDS) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery (NACT-IDS)) influences the pattern of first recurrence in patients with completely cytoreduced advanced high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 178 patients with newly diagnosed stage IIIC-IV HGSOC, complete gross resection during PDS (n = 124) or IDS (n = 54) from January 2008-March 2013, and baseline and first recurrence contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans. Clinical characteristics and number of disease sites at baseline were analyzed for associations with time to recurrence. In 135 patients who experienced recurrence, the overlap in disease locations between baseline and recurrence and the number of new disease locations at recurrence were analyzed according to the primary treatment approach. RESULTS At univariate and multivariate analyses, NACT-IDS was associated with more overlapping locations between baseline and first recurrence (p ≤ 0.003) and fewer recurrences in new anatomic locations (p ≤ 0.043) compared with PDS. The same results were found in a subgroup that received intra-peritoneal adjuvant chemotherapy after either treatment approach. At univariate analysis, patient age, primary treatment approach, adjuvant chemotherapy route, and number of disease locations at baseline were associated with time to recurrence (p ≤ 0.009). At multivariate analysis, older patient age, NACT-IDS, and greater disease locations at baseline remained significant (p ≤ 0.018). CONCLUSION The distribution of disease at the time of first recurrence varied with the choice of primary treatment. Compared to patients treated with PDS, patients who underwent NACT-IDS experienced recurrence more often in the same locations as the original disease.

Abstract
The unmet need for novel therapeutic options for ovarian cancer (OC) deserves further investigation. Among the different novel drugs, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are particularly attractive because of their specificity of action and efficacy, as documented in many experimental setups. However, the fragility of these molecules in the biological environment necessitates the use of delivery materials able to protect them and possibly target them to the cancer cells. Among the different delivery materials, those based on polymers and lipids are considered very interesting because of their biocompatibility and ability to carry/deliver siRNAs. Despite these features, polymers and lipids need to be engineered to optimize their delivery properties for OC. In this review, we concentrated on the description of the therapeutic potential of siRNAs and polymer-/lipid-based delivery systems for OC. After a brief description of OC and siRNA features, we summarized the strategies employed to minimize siRNA delivery problems, the targeting strategies to OC, and the preclinical models available. Finally, we discussed the most interesting works published in the last three years about polymer-/lipid-based materials for siRNA delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysgerminomas are malignant ovarian germ-cell tumors that typically affect young women. Although these tumors have an excellent response to chemotherapy, surgery is an integral part of primary treatment. OBJECTIVE To evaluate outcomes of initial cytoreduction in patients diagnosed with dysgerminomas. METHODS Patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery for ovarian dysgerminoma between January 1985 and December 2013 were identified and included in the study. A comparison was made between patients who underwent optimal versus sub-optimal cytoreduction. Descriptive, comparative statistics and odds ratios were used to establish an association. Survival curves were performed with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using a log-rank test. A value of p<0.05 was used to establish a statistical difference. RESULTS A total of 180 patients with a histologically confirmed dysgerminoma were included in the analysis. A subsection of 37 patients in stages III/IV were analyzed. The median age at diagnosis was 21 years (IQR 18-26). Histologically, 166 (92.2%) patients had pure dysgerminomas, whereas the rest had mixed histologies. The median tumor size was 18 (IQR 12-22) cm. In all stages, factors associated with optimal cytoreduction, were higher lactate dehydrogenase levels (OR=1.01; p=0.03), higher CA125 levels (OR=1.01; p=0.04), receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (OR=0.22; p<0.01), or undergoing treatment in a specialized institution (OR=12.68; p<0.01). Patients in stages III/IV, initially managed outside our institution were less likely to be taken for cytoreduction (OR=16.88; p=0.013). Other factors, including age (OR=1.02; p=0.39), pelvic lymph-node positivity (OR=2.24; p=0.36), pregnancy during follow-up (OR=0.91: p=0.80), or recurrence of disease (OR=1.93; p=0.23) were found to be similar in both groups. Overall survival was higher in optimally cytoreducted patients (100% vs 95.7%; p=0.032) including all stages, but not if considering only stages III/IV (100% vs 90%, p=0.186); disease-free survival was the same for both groups regardless of stage (94.3% vs 91.1%; p=0.36). CONCLUSION Patients with optimal surgeries were most likely to be treated in referral centers. Initial residual disease did not significantly alter recurrence, progression, disease-free survival, or overall survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined factors associated with postoperative complications, 1-year overall and cancer-specific survival after epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) diagnosis. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for EOC between 2004 and 2013 were included. Multivariable models analyzed postoperative complications, overall survival, and cancer-specific survival. RESULTS Among 5223 patients, surgical complications were common. Postoperative complications correlated with increased odds of overall and disease-specific survival at 1 y. Receipt of chemotherapy was similar among women with and without postoperative complications and was independently associated with a reduction in the hazard of overall and disease-specific death at 1-year. Extensive pelvic and upper abdomen surgery resulted in 2.26 times the odds of postoperative complication, but was associated with longer 1-year overall 0.53 (0.35, 0.82) and disease-specific survival 0.54 (0.34, 0.85). CONCLUSIONS Although extent of surgery was associated with complications, the survival benefit from comprehensive surgery offset the risk. Tailored surgical treatment for women with EOC may improve outcomes.

Abstract
Background: To understand the relationship between imaging and the next generation multivariate index assay (MIA2G) in the preoperative assessment of an adnexal mass. Methods: Serum samples and imaging data from two previously published studies are reanalyzed using the MIA2G test. We calculated the clinical performance of MIA2G and discrete imaging features associated with malignant risk. Results: 878 women were eligible for this analysis, 48.3% post-menopausal and 51.7% pre-menopausal. The prevalence of having a malignant pathology was 18%. Ultrasound was the most frequently used imaging modality. The combination of MIA2G “or” ultrasound resulted in higher sensitivity than either test alone, 93.5% compared to 87.6% for MIA2G and 74.2% for ultrasound. The negative predictive value was high: 94.6% for ultrasound, 98.1% for MIA2G “or” ultrasound. MIA2G “and” ultrasound had higher specificity but lower sensitivity than MIA2G or ultrasound alone. Similar results were seen for CT scan when evaluated with MIA2G. Conclusion: MIA2G and pelvic imaging are complementary tests and interpreting them together can provide important information about the malignant risk of an ovarian tumor. For physicians making decisions about a referral to a specialist, the combination of MIA2G “or” ultrasound has the highest sensitivity in predicting ovarian malignancy.

Abstract
The best prognosis for advanced ovarian cancer is provided by no residual disease after primary cytoreductive surgery. It is thus important to be able to predict resectability that will result in complete cytoreduction, while avoiding unnecessary surgery that may leave residual disease. No single procedure appears to be sufficiently accurate and reliable to predict resectability. The process should include a preoperative workup based on clinical examination, biomarkers, especially tumor markers, and imaging, for which computed tomography, as well as sonography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron-emission tomography, can be used. This workup should provide sufficient information to determine whether complete cytoreduction is possible or if not, to propose neoadjuvant chemotherapy which is preferable in this case. For the remaining patients, laparoscopy is broadly recommended as an ultimate triage step. However, its modalities are still debated, and several scores have been proposed for standardization and improving accuracy. The risk of false negatives requires a final assessment of resectability as the first stage of cytoreductive surgery by laparotomy. Composite models, consisting of several criteria of workup and, sometimes, laparoscopy have been proposed to improve the accuracy of the predictive process. Regardless of the modality, the process appears to be accurate and reliable for predicting residual disease but less so for predicting complete cytoreduction and thus avoiding unnecessary surgery and an inappropriate treatment strategy. Overall, the proposed procedures are heterogeneous, sometimes unvalidated, or do not consider advances in surgery. Future techniques and/or models are still needed to improve the prediction of complete resectability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of multiple clinical features upon the outcome of interval cytoreductive surgery and thus upon the survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer and primary peritoneal carcinoma. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients receiving NACT followed by IDS between 2009 and 2017. Patients were analyzed according to the pre-NACT CA125, pre-IDS CA125, pre-IDS CA125 decline, patients' pre-IDS BMI, multisite bowel involvement and different working years of surgeons, for their influence upon the IDS outcome (e.g. optimal vs suboptimal) and the survival. RESULTS After interval debulking surgery following 1-6 cycles of NACT, all patients analyzed were identified as optimal (n = 113) and suboptimal (n = 47) based on patients' record. The PFS/OS were 21/68 months and 9/26 months in optimal and suboptimal groups, respectively (p = .000, p = .000). Although differential levels of pre-IDS CA125, pre-IDS CA125 decline, bowel involvement and surgeons' working years were found to be significantly different between the two groups, surgeons' working years and multisite bowel invasion were the independent factors for IDS outcome, and the latter one was also highly related to survival. CONCLUSIONS Following NACT, the rate of optimal IDS might be improved for patients without multisite bowel involvement. For those with bowel involvement, management strategy made by well-experienced surgeons might be a key factor for the outcome of IDS.

Perioperative change in CA125 is an independent prognostic factor for improved clinical outcome in advanced ovarian cancer. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2019; 240:364-369. [PMID: 31400565 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2019.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2018] [Revised: 05/25/2019] [Accepted: 07/08/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite being the most important prognostic factor for prolonged overall survival in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the measurement of residual disease is hampered by its subjective character. Additional assessment tools are needed to establish the success of cytoreductive surgery in order to predict patients' prognosis more accurately. The aim of this study is to evaluate the independent prognostic value of perioperative CA125 change in advanced stage EOC patients. STUDY DESIGN We identified all patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery for advanced stage (FIGO IIB-IV) EOC between 2008 and 2015, from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. The relative perioperative change in CA125 was categorized into four groups; increase, <50% decline, 50-79% decline and ≥80% decline. Overall survival (OS) was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariable cox regression models. RESULTS We included 1232 eligible patients with known pre- and postoperative CA125 serum levels. Patients with a decline of ≥80% in CA125 levels experienced improved OS compared to those with a decline of <50% (univariable Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.45, 95%CI 0.36-0.57). The prognostic effect of perioperative CA125 change was independent of patient- and treatment characteristics, such as the extent of residual disease after cytoreductive surgery (multivariable HR≥80% 0.52(0.41-0.66)). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the perioperative change in CA125 is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival after primary surgery for EOC patients. This pleads for the use of a combined model, consisting of perioperative CA125 change and the outcome of residual disease, in order to predict the prognosis of EOC patients more accurately.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the impact of hospital surgical volume on the rate of complete gross resection for patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian carcinoma undergoing primary debulking surgery. METHODS The National Cancer Data Base was used to identify patients undergoing between 2010 and 2014 for an advanced stage (III-IV) epithelial ovarian cancer. For analyses purposes facility surgical volume was divided into tertiles (high, intermediate and low). Patients with bulky stage III disease who underwent primary debulking surgery with known residual disease status were selected for further analysis. RESULTS A total of 8894 patients with macroscopic peritoneal disease were included. Rates of complete gross resection for patients managed in low, intermediate and high-volume centers were 41.0%, 41.6% and 43.3% respectively (p = 0.20). After controlling for year of diagnosis, age, insurance status, presence of co-morbidities, histology, size of peritoneal implants, stage, and complexity of surgery, patients undergoing primary debulking surgery at low (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.74, 0.97, p = 0.013) and intermediate (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.82, 0.99, p = 0.043) volume centers had a lower likelihood of achieving complete gross resection compared to those managed in high volume centers. CONCLUSIONS After controlling for multiple potential confounders, patients receiving surgery in high volume centers had a higher likelihood of complete gross resection following primary debulking surgery for advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) typically spreads intra-abdominally, but preoperative evaluation with FDG PET/CT often reveals metabolically active supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes (sdLNs). Their clinical significance and behavior during treatment has not been established. METHODS EOC patients with PET positive sdLNs at diagnosis were prospectively followed with PET/CT after primary chemotherapy and at the first recurrence. In each patient, 2 most active LNs in 5 different supradiaphramatic regions were evaluated and the size and changes in FDG uptake (SUVmax) were recorded. The patients´ overall response to primary treatment was defined with RECIST criteria. The behavior of sdLNs during chemotherapy were compared in treatment responders and non-responders. Recurrence patterns were monitored. RESULTS Forty-one patients with 127 PET/CT scans were systematically evaluated. In pretreatment scan, 76% (31/41) of patients had FDG-avid sdLNs in multiple anatomical sites. Only a minority (22/136) of the sdLNs were enlarged in size, but their histopathologic confirmation by biopsy was not possible. Only 6/41 patients had FDG-avid sdLNs in a single surgically approachable site. The sdLNs became inactive during primary chemotherapy more often in the RECIST responders compared to the non-responders (HR 1.46 (95%CI: 1.09-1.96), p = 0.002). The size and SUVmax values did not predict treatment outcome. In 50% of the responders the same sdLNs reactivated when recurrence occurred. Persistent post-treatment metabolic activity did not predict earlier disease relapse (p = 0.59). CONCLUSION The behavior of metabolically active sdLNs during chemotherapy supports their metastatic nature. Due to their distribution to multiple regions, the benefit of removal of reachable sdLNS seems unlikely. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT, NCT01276574 . Registered 1 September 2010.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The care for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC) is organised in eight different geographical regions in the Netherlands. This situation allows us to study differences in practice patterns and outcomes between geographical regions for patients with FIGO stage IIIC and IV. METHODS We identified all EOC patients who were diagnosed with FIGO stage IIIC or IV between 01.01.2008 and 31.12.2015 from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize treatment and treatment sequence(primary cytoreductive surgery(PCS) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval cytoreductive surgery(NACT-ICS)). Moreover, outcome of surgery was compared between geographical regions. Multilevel logistic regression was used to assess whether existing variation is explained by geographical region and case-mix factors. RESULTS Overall, 6,741 patients were diagnosed with FIGO IIIC or IV disease. There were no differences in the percentage of patients that received any form of treatment between the geographical regions(range 80-86%, P = 0.162). In patients that received cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy, a significant variation between the geographical regions was observed in the use of PCS and NACT-ICS(PCS: 24-48%, P < 0.001). The percentage of complete cytoreductive surgeries after PCS ranged from 10 to 59%(P < 0.001) and after NACT-ICS from 37 to 70%(P < 0.001). Moreover, geographical region was independently associated with the outcome of surgery, also when adjusted for treatment sequence(P < 0.001). CONCLUSION We observed a significant variation in treatment approach for advanced EOC between geographical regions in the Netherlands. Furthermore, the probability to achieve no residual disease differed significantly between regions, regardless of treatment sequence. This may suggest that surgical outcomes can be improved across geographical regions.

Ovarian Cancer Surgery in Australia and New Zealand: A Survey to Determine Changes in Surgical Practice Over 10 Years. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2019; 28:945-950.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to survey all practicing certified gynecological oncologists (CGOs) in Australia and New Zealand to determine their current surgical practice for primary advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and compare the findings with an identical survey conducted 10 years previously. METHODS/MATERIALS A questionnaire was e-mailed to all 53 practicing CGOs in Australia and New Zealand in July 2017 assessing their definition of optimal debulking for EOC, their use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the surgical procedures they use to achieve cytoreduction. Results were compared with an identical study performed in 2007 using χ and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Response rate was 89% (47/53). A higher percentage of patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery in 2017 than in 2007 (43% vs 16%, respectively). In 2017, CGOs were more likely to define optimal debulking as zero residual disease (R0; 21/44 [48%] vs 6/34 [18%], P < 0.001). To achieve this, CGOs were significantly more likely to independently perform stripping/resection of the diaphragm (44/47 [94%] vs 15/34 [44%], P < 0.001) and, with assistance from surgical colleagues, perform resection of upper para-aortic lymph nodes (39/46 [85%] vs 21/34 [62%], P = 0.02) and parenchymal liver metastases (30/46 [65%] vs 13/34 [38%], P = 0.02). They were now less likely to resect/reimplant the ureter without assistance (23% vs 53%, P = 0.01). A surgeon's definition of optimal debulking as R0 was significantly associated with a high use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (in ≥50% of patients). CONCLUSIONS Certified gynecological oncologists' definition of optimal debulking for primary EOC is more likely to be R0 in 2017 than in 2007. Radical abdominal surgery was performed more often in 2017, requiring assistance by a surgical colleague in many cases. An increased use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was the only factor significantly associated with CGOs' definition of optimal debulking as R0.

Abstract
Background We investigated the practice patterns of surgery for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) through relevant international surveys. Methods After searching for 878 studies on surgery for AOC till 2017, we extracted 18 questions with similar query and answer formats from eight studies. Among them, 5 and 13 were classified as comprehensive and procedure information. Results In comprehensive information, there was a higher preference for optimal cytoreduction defined as no visible tumor (44%) compared with residual tumors <1 cm (38%) or <2 cm (2%) and omental disease involving the spleen or pancreas was more important as an intraoperative finding precluding optimal cytoreduction (35%) since 2010. The preference for neoadjuvant chemotherapy was the highest at its use for 1-10% (36%), which was preferred in Europe over USA. The positive expectation of preoperative determination of optimal cytoreduction was higher in Europe than in USA (44 vs. 27%; P < 0.05). In procedure information, conventional gynecological surgery was mainly performed by gynecological oncologists, whereas more than 50% of upper abdominal or urological surgeries were conducted by other surgeons. European clinicians showed a higher response rate of diaphragmatic stripping and resection than those from USA (88 vs. 60%; 69 vs. 24%; P < 0.05). Conclusion No visible tumor as the criterion for optimal cytoreduction was preferred in AOC, and aggressive surgery beyond conventional gynecological surgery tended to be performed by other surgeons. Moreover, the preference of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the positive expectation of preoperative determination of optimal cytoreduction were higher in Europe than in USA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of close rectal dissection (CRD) compared with those of total mesorectal excision (TME) as the posterior rectal dissection procedure during rectosigmoid colectomy performed as part of cytoreductive surgery in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 163 patients who underwent posterior rectal dissection for rectosigmoid resection, including low anterior resection or subtotal colectomy, as part of ovarian cancer surgery from 2006 to 2018. The TME technique was mainly performed by colorectal surgeons, and the CRD technique preserving the mesorectal tissue was performed by an experienced gynecologic oncology surgeon. The patients were divided into the TME group and the CRD group, and their clinical outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 163 patients with ovarian cancer underwent rectosigmoid colon resection. Among the patients, 87 (53.4%) underwent CRD and 76 (46.6%) underwent TME as the posterior rectal dissection technique. The disease severity according to FIGO stage (p = .390) and the residual disease status (p = .412) were not statistically different between the 2 groups. However, the postoperative incidences of anastomotic leakage (p = .045) and prolonged ileus (>7 days, p = .055) were higher in the TME group. The pelvic recurrence rate and progression-free survival did not differ between the 2 groups (p = .663 and .790, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Considering the perioperative outcomes, CRD may be an alternative technique for rectal dissection in ovarian cancer with less perioperative morbidity and equivalent oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
Among a litany of malignancies affecting the female reproductive tract, that of the ovary is the most frequently fatal. Moreover, while the steady pace of scientific discovery has fuelled recent ameliorations in the outcomes of many other cancers, the rates of mortality for ovarian cancer have been stagnant since around 1980. Yet despite the grim outlook, progress is being made towards better understanding the fundamental biology of this disease and how its biology in turn influences clinical behaviour. It has long been evident that ovarian cancer is not a unitary disease but rather a multiplicity of distinct malignancies that share a common anatomical site upon presentation. Of these, the high-grade serous subtype predominates in the clinical setting and is responsible for a disproportionate share of the fatalities from all forms of ovarian cancer. This review aims to provide a detailed overview of the clinical-pathological features of ovarian cancer with a particular focus on the high-grade serous subtype. Along with a description of the relevant clinical aspects of this disease, including novel trends in treatment strategies, this text will inform the reader of recent updates to the scientific literature regarding the origin, aetiology and molecular-genetic basis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).

This review aims to provide a detailed overview of the clinical-pathological features of ovarian cancer with a particular focus on the high-grade serous subtype. Along with a description of the relevant clinical aspects of this disease, including novel trends in treatment strategies, this text will inform the reader of recent updates to the scientific literature regarding the origin, aetiology and molecular-genetic basis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).

Abstract
Among a litany of malignancies affecting the female reproductive tract, that of the ovary is the most frequently fatal. Moreover, while the steady pace of scientific discovery has fuelled recent ameliorations in the outcomes of many other cancers, the rates of mortality for ovarian cancer have been stagnant since around 1980. Yet despite the grim outlook, progress is being made towards better understanding the fundamental biology of this disease and how its biology in turn influences clinical behaviour. It has long been evident that ovarian cancer is not a unitary disease but rather a multiplicity of distinct malignancies that share a common anatomical site upon presentation. Of these, the high-grade serous subtype predominates in the clinical setting and is responsible for a disproportionate share of the fatalities from all forms of ovarian cancer. This review aims to provide a detailed overview of the clinical-pathological features of ovarian cancer with a particular focus on the high-grade serous subtype. Along with a description of the relevant clinical aspects of this disease, including novel trends in treatment strategies, this text will inform the reader of recent updates to the scientific literature regarding the origin, aetiology and molecular-genetic basis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).

The use of cisplatin plus doxorubicin or paclitaxel in hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for stage IIIC or IV epithelial ovarian cancer: a comparative study. Clin Transl Oncol 2019; 21:1357-1363. [PMID: 30788835 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-019-02065-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2018] [Accepted: 02/12/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Our main aim is to analyze the survival results in women operated on for advanced ovarian cancer with two different HIPEC regimens (cisplatin plus doxorubicin versus paclitaxel). PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective cohort of patients with stage IIIC or IV epithelial ovarian cancer operated on with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC, from October-2008 to February-2016, was retrospectively analyzed. The two drugs used, cisplatin/doxorubicin (Group A) and paclitaxel (Group B), were compared. RESULTS Forty-one patients were treated with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC; 19 patients (46%) were in Group A and 22 (54%) were in Group B. The extent of peritoneal disease was comparable between groups (Peritoneal Cancer Index of 10 in Group A versus PCI of 12.5 in Group B). There were no differences in morbidity between groups, with a severe morbidity (Dindo-Clavien III or IV) of 36.8% versus 27.3%, respectively. There was no postoperative mortality. Median follow-up was 39 months. Median overall survival was 79 months. Overall survival at 3 years in Group A was 66% versus 82.9% in Group B (p = 0.248). Incomplete cytoreduction (macroscopic residual tumour after surgery) was identified as the only independent factor that influenced overall survival (HR 12.30, 95% CI 1.28-118.33, p = 0.03). The cytostatic used in HIPEC had no influence in overall survival. CONCLUSION The cytostatic used in HIPEC did not have a negative effect in the prognosis of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Debulking surgery is the key step of advanced stage ovarian cancer treatment with chemotherapy. The quality of surgical resection is the main prognosis factor, thus a complete resection must be achieved (grade A) in an expert center (grade B). Surgery for stage IV is possible and has a benefit in case of complete peritoneal resection (LoE3). Pelvic and aortic lymphadenectomies are recommended in case of clinical or radiological suspicious lymph nodes (grade B). In absence of clinical or radiological suspicious lymph nodes and in case of complete peritoneal resection during initial debulking surgery, lymphadenectomy can be omitted because it won't change nor medical treatment nor overall survival (grade B). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be proposed in case of: impossibility to perform initial complete surgical resection (grade B) ; alteration of general state or co-morbidities or elderly patient (in order to decrease morbidity and increase quality of life) (grade B); stage IV with multiple intra-hepatic or pulmonary metastasis or important ascites with miliary (grade B). In case of stage III or IV ovarian cancer diagnosed on a biopsy during prior laparotomy, a neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery should be preferred (gradeC). In case of palliative surgery or peroperative impossibility to perform a complete resection, no data regarding the type of surgery to perform influencing survival or quality of life is available. Peritoneal carcinosis description before resection and residual disease at the end of the surgery should be reported (size, location and reason of non-extirpability) (grade B). A score of peritoneal carcinosis such as Peritoneal Carcinosis Index (PCI) should be used in order to objectively evaluate the tumoral burden (gradeC). A standardized operative report is recommended (gradeC).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To achieve optimal cytoreduction, extensive bowel resections are sometimes required in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Few studies have focused on the extent or number of resections of bowel surgeries and their feasibility. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent bowel surgery as part of debulking procedures at Ajou University Hospital from 2006 to 2018. Patients who received extensive bowel resections (two-segment resections or subtotal colectomy) were identified, and their perioperative outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 172 patients underwent bowel surgery. Of them, 128 (74.4%) underwent one-segment bowel resection, 25 (14.5%) underwent two-segment bowel resections, and 19 (11.1%) underwent subtotal colectomy. Although the operative time, transfusion rate, and postoperative bleeding events were higher in patients who underwent extensive bowel resection, the rates of perioperative complications were not significantly higher in this group. Anastomotic leakage occurred in two (1.5%) patients in the one-segment resection group, one (4.2%) patient in the multiple resection group, and two (10.5%) patients in the subtotal colectomy group. CONCLUSIONS Multiple bowel resections (up to two segments) are feasible and can be safely performed with an acceptable complication rate in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
In recent times, there has been a growing tendency to treat advanced gynaecological malignancies with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), with the goal of reducing tumour volume and enhancing operability resulting in optimal cytoreduction. This approach is used in particular for patients with advanced high-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum. Pathology plays a crucial role in the management of these patients, both before and after NACT. Prior to initiation of NACT, a biopsy should be performed, usually of the omental cake, to confirm that a malignancy is present, to identify the site of origin of the tumour and to type and grade the tumour. Histopathologists must be aware of the resultant morphological effects of NACT when examining specimens following interval cytoreduction surgery. Tumour typing and grading, and even the identification of residual neoplasia, are particular challenges. Immunohistochemistry, when used judiciously, can be a useful adjunct in certain scenarios. A pathological assessment of the response to chemotherapy, and the pathological stage should be provided in the pathology report, as these may inform prognosis and subsequent management. We present a comprehensive overview of the relevant clinical and pathological aspects pertaining to NACT for gynaecological malignancies for the practicing surgical pathologist.

Abstract
ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to investigate the correlation of chemotherapy response score (CRS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) to treatment outcomes in ovarian cancer (OC).MethodsChemotherapy response score was retrospectively determined on pathology slides of all patients with epithelial OC that had interval debulking surgery (IDS) between 2009–2014. Chemotherapy response score 1 was given when tumor was present and infiltrated by inflammatory cells, CRS 2 when both tumor and regressive chemotherapy changes were present, and CRS 3 when scant tumor was seen within extensive chemotherapy-induced changes. Patients’ characteristics including survival data were collected and compared between CRS groups.ResultsPathology slides of 132 patients were reviewed. Forty-nine patients had CRS 1, 65 had CRS 2, and 18 had CRS 3. Age, stage, and grade were not different across CRS groups. A higher percent of CRS 1 and 2 patients required more than 3 cycles of NACT, whereas CRS 3 patients had higher rates of no residual disease at completion of IDS. Chemotherapy response score 3 group showed the most significant CA125 decrease after NACT (97% decrease,P= 0.016). Kaplan-Meir survival curves showed a significantly longer progression-free survival but not overall survival for patients with CRS 3 (median progression-free survival = 7.5, 12, and 17 months for CRS 1, 2, and 3, respectively,P= 0.012), and this remained statistically significant in both univariate and multivariate analysis. Interobserver reproducibility for CRS was good (weighed κ = 0.762).ConclusionsPatients with CRS 3 have longest progression-free survival and highest CA125 drop after NACT. These parameters have important prognostic value and can be used for clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Locoregional recurrence negatively impacts both long-term survival and quality of life for several malignancies. For appropriate-risk patients with an isolated, resectable, local recurrence, surgery represents the only potentially curative therapy. However, oncologic outcomes remain inferior for patients with locally recurrent disease even after macroscopically complete resection. Unfortunately, these operations are often extensive, with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality. This review highlights selected malignancies (mesothelioma, sarcoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, rectal cancer, and peritoneal surface malignancies) in which surgical resection is a key treatment modality and local recurrence plays a significant role in overall oncologic outcome with regard to survival and quality of life. For each type of cancer, the current, state-of-the-art treatment strategies and their outcomes are assessed. The need for additional therapeutic options is presented given the limitations of the current standard therapies. New and emerging treatment modalities, including polymer films and nanoparticles, are highlighted as potential future solutions for both prevention and treatment of locally recurrent cancers. Finally, the authors identify additional clinical and research opportunities and propose future research strategies based on the various patterns of local recurrence among the different cancers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to determine the impact of intra-abdominal residual disease size, type (carcinomatosis, tumor mass or both), and location (upper/lower abdominal/both) on overall survival in women with Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIB-IIIC vs stage IV epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent primary debulking surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Altogether 2092 women diagnosed with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing primary debulking surgery in Denmark during 2005-2016 were identified in the Danish Gynecological Cancer Database. The impact of residual disease size, type, and location were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Complete cytoreduction (residual disease = 0) was achieved in 47.3% and 38.4% of women with stage IIIB-IIIC and IV epithelial ovarian cancer, respectively. A benefit in overall survival was observed in women with residual disease = 0 compared with women with residual disease, and among women with residual disease ≤1 cm compared with residual disease >2 cm in both stages IIIB-IIIC and stage IV in multivariate analyses. Multivariate analyses showed an inferior overall survival for women with both residual carcinomatosis and residual tumor mass compared with those with residual tumor mass or residual carcinomatosis only for stage IIIB-IIIC and IV, and an inferior overall survival for women with residual disease located in both the upper and lower abdomen compared with residual disease in the upper abdomen only in stages IIIB-IIIC. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm the positive prognostic impact of both complete cytoreduction and residual disease ≤1 cm in stages IIIB-IIIC as well as stage IV epithelial ovarian cancer. Women with stage IV do benefit from cytoreductive surgery and should be considered for primary debulking surgery, if residual disease = 0 can initially be expected.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the concordance between the laparoscopic scoring assessment and extent of disease identified at primary tumor reductive surgery (TRS) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS From April 2013 to June 2017, we prospectively triaged patients with stage IIA to IVB ovarian cancer to laparoscopic scoring assessment. A validated predictive index value (PIV) score (range: 0-14) was assigned. Patients with PIV scores <8 were offered primary surgery and those with score ≥8 received NACT. Patients who underwent primary TRS had a second PIV score based on laparotomy findings. Concordance percentages were calculated between the two scores. Positive predictive value (PPV) was calculated to reflect the performance of the laparoscopic PIV score to predict R0 (complete gross resection) at TRS. RESULTS 226 patients underwent laparoscopic scoring assessment, of which 139 (61.5%) had a PIV score <8 and 81 (35.8%) had a PIV score ≥8. 6 patients (2.7%) were unscoreable. There was 96% overall concordance between PIV scores at laparoscopy and primary TRS. Concordance scores by location were: bowel infiltration 74.7%, mesenteric disease 84.6%, liver surface involvement 86.5%, omental disease 89.7%, diaphragm disease 92.9%, stomach infiltration 94.7%, peritoneal carcinomatosis 94.8%. A laparoscopic PIV score of <8 had a PPV of 85.4% at predicting R0 at primary TRS. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic assessment of tumor burden is a feasible tool to predict R0 cytoreduction in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Concordance between PIV scores at laparoscopy and primary TRS varied by anatomic location, with the lowest concordance seen in predicting bowel infiltration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess complete gross resection (CGR) rates and survival outcomes in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent primary debulking surgery (PDS) during a 13-year period in which specific changes to surgical paradigm were implemented. METHODS We identified all patients with stage IIIB-IV high-grade ovarian carcinoma who underwent PDS at our institution, with the intent of maximal cytoreduction, from 1/2001-12/2013. Patients were categorized by year of PDS based on the implementation of surgical changes to our approach to ovarian cancer debulking (Group 1, 2001-2005; Group 2, 2006-2009; Group 3, 2010-2013). RESULTS Among 978 patients, 78% had stage IIIC disease and 89% had disease of serous histology. Carcinomatosis was found in 81%, and 60% had bulky upper abdominal disease (UAD). Compared to Group 1, those who underwent PDS during the latter 2 time periods had higher ASA scores (p < 0.001), higher-stage disease (p < 0.001), and more often had carcinomatosis (p = 0.015) and bulky UAD (p = 0.009). CGR rates for Groups 1-3 increased from 29% to 40% to 55%, respectively (p < 0.001). Five-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates increased over time (15%, 16%, and 20%, respectively; p = 0.199), as did 5-year overall survival (OS) rates (40%, 44%, and 56%, respectively; p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, CGR was independently associated with PFS (p < 0.001) and OS (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Despite higher-stage disease and greater tumor burden, CGR rates, PFS and OS for patients who underwent PDS increased over a 13-year period. Surgical paradigm shifts implemented specifically to achieve more complete surgical cytoreduction are likely the reason for these improvements.

Primary debulking surgery versus primary neoadjuvant chemotherapy for high grade advanced stage ovarian cancer: comparison of survivals. Radiol Oncol 2018; 52:307-319. [PMID: 30210049 PMCID: PMC6137361 DOI: 10.2478/raon-2018-0030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2018] [Accepted: 07/23/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to analyze the overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) of patients with high grade and advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) with at least 60 months of follow-up treated in a single gynecologic oncology institute. We compared primary debulking surgery (PDS) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus interval debulking surgery (NACT + IDS) stratifying data based on residual disease with the intent to identify the rationale for therapeutic option decision and the role of laparoscopic evaluation of resectability for that intention. Patients and methods This is observational retrospective study on consecutive patients with diagnosis of high grade and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III/IV EOC referred to our center between January 2008 and May 2012. We selected only patients with a follow-up of at least 60 months. Primary endpoint was to compare PDS versus NACT + IDS in term of progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints were PFS and OS stratifying data according to residual disease after surgery in patients receiving PDS versus NACT + IDS. Finally, through Cox hazards models, we tested the prognostic value of different variables (patient age at diagnosis, residual disease after debulking, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) stage, number of adjuvant-chemotherapy cycles) for predicting OS. Results A total number of 157 patients were included in data analysis. Comparing PDS arm (108 patients) and NACT + IDS arm (49 patients) we found no significant differences in term of OS (41.3 versus 34.5 months, respectively) and PFS (17.3 versus 18.3 months, respectively). According to residual disease we found no significant differences in term of OS between NACT + IDS patients with residual disease = 0 and PDS patients with residual disease = 0 or residual disease = 1, as well as no significant differences in PFS were found comparing NACT + IDS patients with residual disease = 0 and PDS patients with residual disease = 0; contrarily, median PFS resulted significantly lower in PDS patients receiving optimal debulking (residual disease = 1) in comparison to NACT + IDS patients receiving complete debulking (residual disease = 0). PDS arm was affected by a significant higher rate of severe post-operative complications (grade 3 and 4). Diagnostic laparoscopy before surgery was significantly associated with complete debulking. Conclusions We confirm previous findings concerning the non-superiority of NACT + IDS compared to PDS for the treatment of EOC, even if NACT + IDS treatment was associated with significant lower rate of post-operative complications. On the other hand, selecting patients for NACT + IDS, based on laparoscopic evaluation of resectabilty prolongs the PFS and does not worse the OS compared to the patients not completely debulked with PDS.

Perioperative epidural use and survival outcomes in patients undergoing primary debulking surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. Gynecol Oncol 2018; 151:287-293. [PMID: 30185381 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2018.08.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2018] [Revised: 08/16/2018] [Accepted: 08/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epidurals are associated with improved outcomes in some solid tumors, presumably due to their effect on surgical stress response. There are limited data on the prognostic significance of epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing primary debulking surgery (PDS) for advanced ovarian cancer. We sought to assess the impact of epidural anesthesia on the survival outcomes of patients undergoing PDS for advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS In this retrospective study, consecutive patients with stage IIIB-IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal carcinoma who underwent PDS at our institution from 01/2005-12/2013 were identified. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with regard to epidural use were analyzed. RESULTS Of 648 patients, 435 received an epidural and 213 did not. Patients in the former group were more likely to have higher stage disease (stage IV disease, 26% vs. 16%, respectively; P = .005), carcinomatosis (87% vs. 80%, respectively; P = .027), and bulky upper abdominal disease (66% vs. 58%, respectively; P = .046). Complete gross resection was achieved in 48% and 32%, respectively (P < .001). For the epidural vs. non-epidural groups, median PFS was 20.8 months and 13.9 months, respectively (P = .021); median OS was 62.4 months and 41.9 months, respectively (P < .001). After controlling for confounding factors, including residual disease, epidural use was independently associated with a decreased risk of progression (HR = 1.327; 95% CI, 1.066-1.653) and death (HR = 1.588; 95% CI, 1.224-2.06). CONCLUSIONS Perioperative epidural use was independently associated with improved PFS and OS in these patients. Epidural anesthesia at the time of PDS may be warranted in this setting.

Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in the Management of Advanced Ovarian Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2018; 10:cancers10090296. [PMID: 30200420 PMCID: PMC6162496 DOI: 10.3390/cancers10090296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2018] [Revised: 08/14/2018] [Accepted: 08/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has several potential benefits. Higher doses of chemotherapy can be used with HIPEC because the plasma-peritoneal barrier results in little absorption into the blood stream. HIPEC offers higher peritoneal penetration in comparison to an intravenous (IV) regimen and does not have the traditional normothermic intraperitoneal (IP) regimen limitation of post-operative adhesions. Hyperthermia itself has cytotoxic effects and can potentiate antineoplastic effects of chemotherapy in part by increasing the depth of tumor penetration by up to 3 mm. For the treatment of ovarian cancer, HIPEC has been evaluated in the recurrent setting with secondary cytoreduction. Recent studies, including a prospective trial, have evaluated its role in primary management of ovarian cancer. This review summarizes previous and ongoing studies regarding the use of HIPEC in the management of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Synchronous ovarian tumours are rare. Management of these patients can differ from that of patients with uniform tumours. We present a case of synchronous epithelial ovarian cancer and malignant mixed Müllerian tumour in different ovaries, its follow-up and management until death. To our knowledge this is the second case in the English literature to date. A 61-year-old woman with bilateral adnexal masses underwent complete debulking surgery for ovarian cancer. The final pathology was reported as malignant mixed Müllerian tumour in the right ovary with intact borders and stage 2 grade 3 serous carcinoma in the left ovary. She had a 17-month disease-free interval after 6 cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin. Recurrence of malignant mixed Müllerian tumour was reported in the pathology after secondary debulking including a partial ileal resection. After 6 cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin she had a widespread recurrence in the thorax and abdomen. The patient died of disease recurrence at the 25th month after diagnosis. Coexistence of serous and malignant mixed Müllerian tumour in different ovaries is very rare. The main treatment is complete cytoreduction followed with chemotherapy. Platinum-taxane based chemotherapy resulted in an acceptable disease-free interval in our case, but it is not standard yet. A management protocol may be developed with the increasing number of similar cases in the literature.

Interval between debulking surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with overall survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Gynecol Oncol 2018; 150:446-450.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Treatment for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) consists of debulking surgery and (neo)adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the time from surgery to adjuvant chemotherapy (TTC) was associated with clinical outcome. METHODS We identified all Dutch patients who received optimal or complete debulking surgery for primary EOC (FIGO IIb-IV) between 2008 and 2015 from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. TTC was divided into three groups based on the interquartile range (IQR). Early (<25%) and prolonged (>75%) TTC were compared to intermediate TTC (25-75%). Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with a prolonged TTC and multivariable Cox regression to evaluate the independent effect of treatment interval on overall survival (OS). Patients receiving primary debulking surgery (PDS) and patients receiving interval debulking surgery (IDS) were analyzed separately. RESULTS 4097 patients were included, 1612 underwent PDS and 2485 IDS. Median TTC was 29 days (IQR 24-37). Age ≥ 65, complete debulking surgery, postoperative complications, and hospitalization ≥10 days were independently associated with a longer TTC for both PDS and IDS. TTC in the longest quartile was associated with poor OS after both PDS (Hazard Rate (HR) 1.43, 95% CI 1.09-1.88) and NACT-IDS (HR 1.22 (1.02-1.47)) when compared to the intermediate TTC, but only in patients with no macroscopic residual disease after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides evidence that delayed initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy is an independent prognostic factor for worse overall survival after complete (interval)debulking surgery. We advise to start adjuvant chemotherapy within five to six weeks after debulking surgery.

Abstract
To develop effective therapies for advanced high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), understanding mechanisms of recurrence and metastasis is necessary. In this study, we define the epithelial/mesenchymal status of cell lines that accurately model HGSOC, and evaluate the therapeutic potential of targeting Snai1 (Snail), a master regulator of the epithelial/mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro and in vivo. The ratio of Snail to E-cadherin (S/E index) at RNA and protein levels was correlated with mesenchymal morphology in four cell lines. The cell lines with high S/E index (OVCAR8 and COV318) showed more CSC-like, motile, and chemoresistant phenotypes than those with low S/E index (OVSAHO and Kuramochi). We tested the role of Snail in regulation of malignant phenotypes including stemness, cell motility, and chemotherapy resistance: shRNA-mediated knockdown of Snail reversed these malignant phenotypes. Interestingly, the expression of let-7 tumour suppressor miRNA was upregulated in Snail knockdown cells. Furthermore, knockdown of Snail decreased tumour burden in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model. We conclude that Snail is important in controlling HGSOC malignant phenotypes and suggest that the Snail/Let-7 axis may be an attractive target for HGSOC treatment.

Abstract
The prognostic significance of pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy during primary debulking surgery for advanced-stage ovarian cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the survival impact of lymph node dissection (LND) in patients treated with optimal cytoreduction for advanced ovarian cancer. Data from 158 consecutive patients with stage IIIC–IV disease who underwent optimal cytoreduction (<1 cm) were obtained via retrospective chart review. Patients were classified into two groups: (1) lymph node sampling (LNS), node count <20; and (2) LND, node count ≥20. Progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method. Among the included patients, 96 and 62 patients underwent LND and LNS as primary debulking surgery, respectively. There were no differences in the extent of debulking surgical procedures, including extensive upper abdominal surgery, between the groups. Patients who underwent LND had a marginally significantly improved PFS (P = 0.059) and significantly improved OS (P < 0.001) compared with those who underwent LNS. In a subgroup with negative lymphadenopathy on preoperative computed tomography scans, revealed LND correlated with a better PFS and OS (P = 0.042, 0.001, respectively). Follow-ups of subsequent recurrences observed a significantly lower nodal recurrence rate among patients who underwent LND. A multivariate analysis identified LND as an independent prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.629; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.400–0.989) and OS (HR, 0.250; 95% CI, 0.137–0.456). In conclusion, systematic LND might have therapeutic value and improve prognosis for patients with optimally cytoreduced advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Background Survival from ovarian cancer (OC) is improved with surgery, but surgery can be complex and tumour identification, especially for borderline ovarian tumours (BOT), is challenging. The Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometric (REIMS) technique reports tissue histology in real-time by analysing aerosolised tissue during electrosurgical dissection. Methods Aerosol produced during diathermy of tissues was sampled with the REIMS interface. Histological diagnosis and mass spectra featuring complex lipid species populated a reference database on which principal component, linear discriminant and leave-one-patient-out cross-validation analyses were performed. Results A total of 198 patients provided 335 tissue samples, yielding 3384 spectra. Cross-validated OC classification vs separate normal tissues was high (97·4% sensitivity, 100% specificity). BOT were readily distinguishable from OC (sensitivity 90.5%, specificity 89.7%). Validation with fresh tissue lead to excellent OC detection (100% accuracy). Histological agreement between iKnife and histopathologist was very good (kappa 0.84, P < 0.001, z = 3.3). Five predominantly phosphatidic acid (PA(36:2)) and phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (PE(34:2)) lipid species were identified as being significantly more abundant in OC compared to normal tissue or BOT (P < 0.001, q < 0.001). Conclusions The REIMS iKnife distinguishes gynaecological tissues by analysing mass-spectrometry-derived lipidomes from tissue diathermy aerosols. Rapid intra-operative gynaecological tissue diagnosis may improve surgical care when histology is unknown, leading to personalised operations tailored to the individual.

Abstract
TWIST protein is critical to development and is activated in many cancers. TWIST regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and is linked to angiogenesis, metastasis, cancer stem cell phenotype, and drug resistance. The majority of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients with metastatic disease respond well to first-line chemotherapy but most relapse with disease that is both metastatic and drug resistant, leading to a five-year survival rate under 20%. We are investigating the role of TWIST in mediating these relapses. We demonstrate TWIST-siRNA (siTWIST) and a novel nanoparticle delivery platform to reverse chemoresistance in an EOC model. Hyaluronic-acid conjugated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-HAs) carried siTWIST into target cells and led to sustained TWIST knockdown in vitro. Mice treated with siTWIST-MSN-HA and cisplatin exhibited specific tumor targeting and reduction of tumor burden. This platform has potential application for overcoming clinical challenges of tumor cell targeting, metastasis and chemoresistance in ovarian and other TWIST overexpressing cancers.
