Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the treatment outcome and survival of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer recurrence isolated to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes compared to intraperitoneal spread. METHODS A retrospective cohort study including women with recurrence of epithelial ovarian, cancer, who were treated at a single medical center, between 2000 and 2015. Patients were classified into three groups according to the site of recurrence: intraperitoneal only, retroperitoneal lymph nodes only, and both. Response to treatment was assessed by the RECIST criteria. RESULTS Out of 135 patients in our cohort, 66 were diagnosed with intraperitoneal recurrence, 30 with retroperitoneal lymph node recurrence and 39 with combined site recurrence. The clinical, pathological and surgical characteristics were similar among all groups, besides CA-125 which was significantly lower in the retroperitoneal recurrence group at diagnosis, end of treatment and recurrence. The median follow-up period was 45.8 months. Overall survival (OS) and post relapse survival (PRS) were significantly higher in the retroperitoneal recurrence group vs. the intraperitoneal and combined site recurrence groups. (OS - 93.07, 47.9 and 41.7 months, respectively, p < .001, PRS - 68.57, 29.67 and 19.7 months, respectively, p < .001). On cox's regression analysis, retroperitoneal recurrence was found to be an independent prognostic factor for survival. CONCLUSIONS The site of recurrence has significant prognostic value regarding PRS and OS. Patients with recurrence limited to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes have a favourable prognosis with median survival longer than 5 years.

Salvage lymphadenectomy in recurrent ovarian cancer patients: Analysis of clinical outcome and BRCA1/2 gene mutational status. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 46:1327-1333. [PMID: 32085925 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2020.01.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Revised: 12/28/2019] [Accepted: 01/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is aimed to analyze the clinical outcome of recurrent ovarian cancer patients bearing isolated lymph-node recurrence (ILNR) who underwent salvage lymphadenectomy (SL). The prognostic role of clinicopathological variables and the mutational status of BRCA1/2 have also been investigated. METHODS This retrospective, single-institutional study included women with platinum-sensitive lymph node recurrence underwent to SL between June 2008 and June 2018. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of clinical parameters, and BRCA1/2 mutational status on post salvage lymphadenectomy progression-free survival (PSL-PFS). RESULTS As of June 2019, the median follow-up after SL was 30 months, and the relapse has been documented in 48 (56.5%) patients. In the whole series, the median PSL-PFS was 21 months, and the 3-year PSL-PFS was 36.7%. The median PSL-PFS, according to patients with ILNR (N = 71) versus patients with lymph-nodes and other sites of disease (N = 14), was 27 months versus 12 months, respectively. Univariate analysis of variables conditioning PSL-PFS showed that platinum-free interval (PFI) ≥12 months, normal Ca125 serum levels, and number of metastatic lymph-nodes ≤3 played a statistically significant favorable role. In multivariate analysis, PFI duration ≥12 months and the number of metastatic lymph nodes ≤3 were shown to keep their favorable, independent prognostic value on PSL-PFS. CONCLUSIONS In the context of SL, the patients with long PFI and low metastatic lymph node numbers at ILNR diagnosis have the best outcome. The BRCA mutational status seems not associated with clinical variables and PSL-PFS, differently from other sites of disease in ROC patients.

Abstract
Despite optimal treatment, three-quarters of the patients with advanced ovarian cancer, experiment relapse and its treatment has become a public health issue. Initially debated, surgery is gaining legitimacy in the treatment of late relapse patients, compared to chemotherapy alone. Secondary complete cytoreduction should be proposed only to a highly selected population. The type of surgery depends on the recurrence localization and the relapse extension in the pelvis and to other organs. Innovating techniques of surgery have become widespread including heated intra peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), laparoscopy and robotic surgery. These specialized treatments should only be carried out in reference centers by oncological surgeons.

Survival outcomes of ovarian cancer patients treated with secondary cytoreductive surgery for isolated lymph node recurrence: A systematic review of the literature. Int J Surg 2019; 69:61-66. [PMID: 31362125 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2019.07.026] [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: 05/11/2019] [Revised: 07/07/2019] [Accepted: 07/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated lymph node recurrence (ILNR) is present in 12-37% of recurrences in ovarian cancer patients. Although several studies have investigated the impact of secondary cytoreduction in these cases, consensus still lacks concerning their optimal management. The purpose of the present review is to investigate whether secondary cytoreduction benefits patients with ILNR in terms of overall survival (OS) and post-relapse survival (PRS). METHOD The present systematic review was designed using the PRISMA and AMSTAR guidelines and has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD42019122854). We searched Medline, Scopus, Clinicaltrials.gov, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CENTRAL and Google Scholar databases from inception until February 2019. RESULTS Overall, eight studies where included that recruited a total number of 479 women. Current evidence suggests that ILNR in EOC patients should be clearly distinguished from recurrences in other sites (including peritoneal and parenchymal) as their course seems to be less aggressive. Furthermore, the implementation of secondary cytoreduction as an adjunct to standard chemotherapy should be taken into consideration in this specific group of patients as the PRS may easily reach and even extend beyond 5 years. Prolonged survival (>110 months) may be seen as a realistic target for a significant number of these patients when systematic lymphadenectomy is performed. CONCLUSION The findings of our review suggest that patients with ILNR should be treated with a combined surgical and chemotherapeutic approach to optimize survival outcomes. However, further studies are needed to reach firm conclusions as current evidence is based in low quality studies.
