Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ovarian metastases from gastrointestinal cancers such as colorectal cancer, also known as Krukenberg tumors (KTs), present unique challenges in management due to diagnostic uncertainty, decreased responsiveness to systemic therapies compared to other sites of metastasis, and associated debilitating symptomatology. Thus, we sought to characterize our institutional outcomes in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with KTs. METHODS A retrospective single-institution study was performed identifying adult, female patients from 2012 to 2021 with a diagnosis of mCRC. Patient demographics and clinicopathologic characteristics were collected and analyzed. Descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariable analyses, and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed. RESULTS Of 235 mCRC patients, 45 (19.1%) had KTs, 41 (91.1%) of whom had KTs in conjunction with other metastatic sites. Other initial sites of metastasis included the liver (n = 93, 39.6%), lung (n = 28, 11.9%), and peritoneum (n = 18, 7.7%). In the KT cohort, the median age was 48 y, 53.3% were non-Hispanic White, 100% had microsatellite stable tumors, 33.3% had Kristen Rat Sarcoma Virus (KRAS) mutations, and 6.7% had V-raf Murine Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog B (BRAF) mutations. Fifty five point six percent of KT patients underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS), 24.4% underwent palliative debulking, and 20% underwent no surgical intervention. Reasons for not undergoing CRS were disease-related (n = 14, 70%), due to poor performance status (n = 1, 5%), or both (n = 5, 25%). Five-year overall survival was 48.2% in KT patients who underwent CRS. Poor tumor grade was an independent predictor of mortality (hazard ratio 10.69, 95% confidence interval 1.20-95.47, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Almost 90% of our patient cohort with KTs from mCRC experience additional sites of metastasis. Around half of KT patients who underwent CRS were alive at 5 y.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2023; 49:106961. [PMID: 37355393 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2023.06.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with ovarian metastasis of colorectal cancer (CROM) usually have poor prognosis. Metastasectomy is controversial in patients with CROM. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of ovarian metastasectomy and other factors in CROM patients. METHODS We searched literature up to November 1, 2021 in MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov. Retrospective studies were assessed if survival outcome of CROM patients was reported. Results were pooled in a random-effects model and reported as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Sensitivity was analyzed. RESULTS Among 2497 studies screened, 15 studies with 997 patients, published between 2000 and 2021, were included. Longer overall survival (OS) was correlated with ovarian metastasectomy (pooled HR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.34-0.58, P < 0.05) and R0 resection (pooled HR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.16-0.41, P < 0.05). Longer disease-specific survival (DSS) was associated with systematic chemotherapy (pooled HR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.15-0.45, P < 0.0001). Shorter OS was associated with extraovarian metastases (pooled HR = 3.00, 95% CI 1.68-5.36, P < 0.05) and bilateral OM (pooled HR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.09-2.51, P < 0.05). No significant difference in OS was observed among patients with systematic chemotherapy (pooled HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.35-1.31, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Metastasectomy achieving R0 resection can significantly prolong OS and DSS of CROM patients as a reasonable treatment modality. Primary tumor resection and systematic chemotherapy can improve patients' outcomes. REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022299185 (http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO).

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2022:10.1007/s00432-022-04502-3. [PMID: 36539535 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-022-04502-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The genetic characteristics and mismatch repair (MMR) status of the primary tumor and corresponding metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC) are generally considered to be highly concordant. This implies that either the primary or metastatic tumor can be used for testing gene mutation and MMR status. However, whether this is also true for CRC and their ovarian metastases is currently unknown. Ovarian metastases generally show a poorer response to systemic therapy compared to other metastatic sites. Differences in biomarker status between primary CRC and ovarian metastases could possibly explain this difference in therapy response. METHODS The study cohort was selected from CRC patients treated in two Dutch hospitals. Eligible patients with CRC and ovarian metastasis who were surgically treated between 2011 and 2018 were included. CRC and corresponding ovarian metastatic tissues were paired. Gene mutation status was established using next-generation sequencing, while the MMR status was established using either immunohistochemistry or microsatellite instability analysis. RESULTS Matched samples of CRC and ovarian metastasis from 26 patients were available for analysis. A biomarker concordance of 100% was detected. CONCLUSION Complete biomarker concordance was found between MMR proficient CRC and their matching ovarian metastasis. Biomarker testing of MMR proficient CRC tissue appears to be sufficient, and additional testing of metastatic ovarian tissue is not necessary. Differences in therapy response between ovarian metastases and other metastases from CRC are thus unlikely to be caused by differences in the genetic status.

Role Of Ovarian Metastases In Colorectal Cancer (ROMIC): a Dutch study protocol to evaluate the effect of prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy in postmenopausal women. BMC Womens Health 2022; 22:441.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The mean incidence of ovarian metastases (OM) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) is 3.4%. The 5-year survival of these patients, even when operated with curative intent, is remarkably low. The lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is approximately 1.3%. Prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy (PSO, or surgical removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes) could reduce the number of CRC patients that develop OM after removal of the primary tumor, as well as preventing the occurrence of primary ovarian cancer. Recently, the care pathway for CRC has been changed in several hospitals in line with the updated Dutch guideline. The possibility of PSO is now discussed with postmenopausal CRC patients in these hospitals. The aims of the current study are firstly to estimate the incidence of OM and primary ovarian cancer in postmenopausal patients with CRC, and secondly to evaluate the effect of PSO in these patients.
Methods
An information bulletin and decision guide on this topic was implemented in several Dutch hospitals in 2020. Post-decision outcomes will be collected prospectively. The study population consists of postmenopausal (≥ 60 years of age) patients that are operated with curative intent for CRC. Based on their own preference, patients will be divided into two groups: those who choose to undergo PSO and those who do not. The main study parameters are the reduction in incidence of ovarian malignancies (metastatic or primary) following PSO, and the number needed to treat (NNT) by PSO to prevent one case of ovarian malignancy.
Discussion
This will be the first study to evaluate the effect of PSO in postmenopausal CRC patients that is facilitated by an altered CRC care pathway. The results of this study are expected to provide relevant information on whether PSO adds significant value to postmenopausal patients with CRC.

Ovarian metastases in young women with colorectal cancer: a retrospective multicenter cohort study. Int J Colorectal Dis 2022; 37:1865-1873. [PMID: 35857105 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-022-04217-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies indicated that approximately 3.4% of female colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are at increased risk of developing ovarian metastases (OM). It has been suggested that young women more frequently develop this form of metastatic disease. METHODS This study evaluated, in 6 Dutch hospitals, the proportion of young women with CRC who developed OM. RESULTS In a cohort of 200 young (age ≤ 55) women with CRC, the proportion of patients diagnosed with synchronous or metachronous OM was calculated. This study revealed that 5% (n = 10) of young female CRC patients developed ovarian metastases resulting in a 5-year overall survival rate of approximately 40%. Furthermore, six patients had concurrent peritoneal metastases, five patients had bilateral ovarian metastases, and five patients had synchronous metastases, while the median time of the occurrence of metachronous metastases (n = 5) was 19 months. CONCLUSION This retrospective multicenter cohort study indicates that 5% of young women with CRC either present with or develop OM. This result appears to be clinically relevant and demonstrates the need for improved surveillance for young women diagnosed with CRC.
