Abstract
BACKGROUND This report describes the oncologic outcomes for patients with advanced ovarian cancer who had bowel surgery performed by gynecologic oncologists (GOs) and compares the outcomes with those for bowel surgery performed by general surgeons (GSs) during maximal cytoreductive surgery. METHODS Patients from six academic institutions who had FIGO stage III or IV ovarian cancer and underwent any bowel surgeries during maximal cytoreductive surgery were eligible for the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether bowel surgery was performed by a GO or a GS. In both groups, the GOs were mainly involved in extra bowel debulking procedures. Perioperative and survival outcomes were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The 761 patients in this study included 113 patients who underwent bowel surgery by a GO and 648 who had bowel surgery by a GS. No discernible differences were observed in age, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, FIGO stage, histologic type, timing of cytoreductive surgery (primary or interval debulking surgery), or complications between the two groups. The GO group exhibited a shorter operation time than the GS group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no survival differences between the two groups. In the Cox analysis, non-serous cell types and gross residual diseases were associated with adverse effects on overall survival. However, performance of bowel surgery by a GO did not have an impact on survival. CONCLUSION Performance of bowel surgery by a GO during maximal cytoreductive surgery is both feasible and safe. These results should be reflected in the training system for GOs regarding bowel surgery, and further research is needed to confirm that GOs can play a more leading role in performing extra-uterine procedures.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer death in women worldwide. Most often, it is detected in an advanced stage due to its insidious onset and lack of symptoms in stages I and II. That is why imaging diagnostics is so important. Therefore, we assessed the consistency of the image seen on CT with the actual image assessed during surgery. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare preoperative evaluation based on CT reports with those obtained during ovarian cancer surgery to determine whether CT is helpful in assessing the possibility of optimal or complete cytoreduction. Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer who underwent diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy with cytoreduction. We compared ovarian cancer lesions described by radiologists on CT scans to those described during laparoscopy or laparotomy; the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for paired observations was used to compare the variables. Results: We observed that the morphology of the tumor, mesenteric infiltration, and the assessment of the involvement of the abdominal, para-aortic, and iliac lymph nodes may differ in CT examination and during surgery. Conclusions: The site of the tumor exit on a CT scan does not always reflect the original site seen during surgery.

Preferences and considerations for interval cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer: The patient's perspective. Gynecol Oncol 2024; 187:227-234. [PMID: 38823307 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.05.018] [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: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Treatment of advanced-stage ovarian cancer contains cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and chemotherapy. Achieving successful CRS (≤ 1 cm residual disease) is prognostically important, but may not be feasible peri-operatively while still risking complications. Therefore, patients' treatment expectations are important to discuss. We investigated patient considerations for interval CRS. METHODS Patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer planned for interval CRS completed a questionnaire about the impact of chance of successful CRS, survival benefit and becoming care-dependent on decision-making regarding CRS. The questionnaire included a vignette study, in which patients repeatedly chose between two treatment scenarios with varying levels for chance of successful CRS, survival benefit and risk of complications including stoma. Patient preferences were analyzed, including differences between patients aged < 70 and ≥ 70 years. RESULTS Among 85 included patients, 31 (37%) patients considered interval CRS worthwhile irrespective of survival benefit and 33 (39%) irrespective of chance of successful surgery. However, 34 patients (41%) considered interval CRS only worthwhile if survival benefit was > 12 months, while 41 (49%) thought so if chance of successful surgery was ≥ 25%. Older patients considered these factors more important. Overall, 27% considered becoming permanently dependent of home care unacceptable. In the vignette study (n = 72) risk of complications and stoma were considered less important than chance of successful CRS and survival benefit. CONCLUSION Survival benefit, chance of successful surgery and becoming care-dependent are important factors in patient's decision for interval CRS, while risk of complications and stoma are less important. Our results are useful in shared decision-making for interval CRS in ovarian cancer.

Impact of surgical compliance on survival prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer and associated influencing factors: A propensity score matching analysis of the SEER database. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33639. [PMID: 39040330 PMCID: PMC11261776 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the impact of surgical compliance on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in ovarian cancer patients and identify factors influencing surgical compliance. Materials and methods Data from patients with ovarian cancer in the SEER database (2004-2015) were analyzed to compare the characteristics of patients with high and low surgical compliance. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models were used to assess the impact of surgical compliance on survival outcomes. Nomograms incorporating surgical compliance and independent prognostic factors were constructed to predict OS and CSS and were validated using internal validation sets. Predictive accuracy was evaluated using Harrell's concordance index (C-index), decision curve analysis (DCA), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and calibration plots. Binary logistic regression analysis identified factors significantly affecting surgical compliance, and propensity score matching (PSM) was used to adjust for confounders. Results Among the 41,859 patients, 783 (1.87 %) demonstrated poor surgical compliance, while 41,076 (98.13 %) exhibited good compliance. Surgical compliance has emerged as an independent prognostic indicator for ovarian cancer. Patients with high compliance had significantly better OS and CSS rates (P < 0.0001). The prognostic models were internally validated and showed strong discriminative and calibration capabilities. Factors affecting compliance included older age, advanced pathological stage, metastasis, elevated CA-125 levels, and lower income. After PSM, Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed significantly improved survival in patients with good compliance (P < 0.0001). Conclusion Surgical compliance is a pivotal and independent predictor of overall and cancer-specific survival in patients undergoing OC. Factors contributing to lower surgical compliance include advanced age, later tumor stage, metastatic spread, elevated CA-125 levels, and reduced family income.

Radiomics combined with clinical and MRI features may provide preoperative evaluation of suboptimal debulking surgery for serous ovarian carcinoma. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024:10.1007/s00261-024-04343-3. [PMID: 39003651 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04343-3] [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: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and validate a model for predicting suboptimal debulking surgery (SDS) of serous ovarian carcinoma (SOC) using radiomics method, clinical and MRI features. METHODS 228 patients eligible from institution A (randomly divided into the training and internal validation cohorts) and 45 patients from institution B (external validation cohort) were collected and retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent abdominal pelvic enhanced MRI scan, including T2-weighted imaging fat-suppressed fast spin-echo (T2FSE), T1-weighted dual-echo magnetic resonance imaging (T1DEI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and T1 with contrast enhancement (T1CE). We extracted, selected and eliminated highly correlated radiomic features for each sequence. Then, Radiomic models were made by each single sequence, dual-sequence (T1CE + T2FSE), and all-sequence, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to screen the clinical and MRI independent predictors. The radiomic model with the highest area under the curve (AUC) was used to combine the independent predictors as a combined model. RESULTS The optimal radiomic model was based on dual sequences (T2FSE + T1CE) among the five radiomic models (AUC = 0.720, P < 0.05). Serum carbohydrate antigen 125, the relationship between sigmoid colon/rectum and ovarian mass or mass implanted in Douglas' pouch, diaphragm nodules, and peritoneum/mesentery nodules were considered independent predictors. The AUC of the radiomic-clinical-radiological model was higher than either the optimal radiomic model or the clinical-radiological model in the training cohort (AUC = 0.908 vs. 0.720/0.854). CONCLUSIONS The radiomic-clinical-radiological model has an overall algorithm reproducibility and may help create individualized treatment programs and improve the prognosis of patients with SOC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a pre-operative tool to estimate the risk of peri-operative packed red blood cell transfusion in primary debulking surgery. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed an institutional database to identify patients who underwent primary debulking surgery for ovarian cancer at a single center between January 1, 2001 and May 31, 2019. Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated. Five-fold cross-validation was applied to the multivariate model. Significant variables were assigned a 'BLOODS' (BLood transfusion Over an Ovarian cancer Debulking Surgery) score of +1 if present. A total BLOODS score was calculated for each patient, and the odds of receiving a transfusion was determined for each score. RESULTS Overall, 1566 patients met eligibility criteria; 800 (51%) underwent a peri-operative blood transfusion. Odds ratios (OR) were statistically significant for American Society of Anesthesiologists scores of 3 and 4 (OR 1.34, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.09 to 1.63), pre-operative levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) (OR 2.43, 95% CI 1.98 to 2.99), platelets (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.45 to 1.74), obesity (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.96), presence of carcinomatosis (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.93 to 3.11), bulky upper abdominal disease (OR 2.86, 95% CI 2.32 to 3.54), pre-operative serum albumin level (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.40), and pre-operative hemoglobin level (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.61). The corrected AUC was 0.748 (95% CI 0.693 to 0.804). BLOODS scores of 0 and 5 corresponded to 11% and 73% odds, respectively, of receiving a peri-operative blood transfusion. CONCLUSIONS We developed a universal pre-operative scoring system, the BLOODS score, to help identify patients with ovarian cancer who would benefit from surgical planning and blood-saving techniques. The BLOODS score was directly proportional to the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, presence of upper abdominal disease, carcinomatosis, CA125 level, and platelets level. We believe this model can help physicians with surgical planning and can benefit patient outcomes.

The paradigm shift in advanced ovarian cancer: Outcomes of extensive primary cytoreductive surgery. A single-center retrospective analysis. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108523. [PMID: 38996586 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The standard surgical treatment of advanced ovarian carcinoma is primary debulking surgery (PDS) aiming to complete cytoreduction. The need to achieve complete cytoreduction has shifted the surgical paradigm to more complex procedures, whose impact on morbidity is controversial. The objective of this retrospective analysis is to explore the impact of extensive PDS on morbidity and oncologic outcomes in a real-world scenario. METHODS A retrospective single-center analysis was performed on 137 patients with advanced high-grade ovarian carcinoma (HGOC) who received PDS in 2015-2020. Patients treated in 2015-2017 (Group 1) were compared to patients treated in 2018-2020 (Group 2). The two periods were chosen according to the higher complexity of surgical procedures introduced in 2018. RESULTS The increase in complete cytoreduction observed in Group2 (RD 0: 33 % vs 61 %, p = 0,008) was related to a higher surgical complexity (Aletti Score: 4 vs 6, p = 0,003) and did not reflect an increase in peri-operative complications (CCI: 20,9 vs 20,9, p = 0,11). After a median FUP of 44 months, PFS and OS at 24 months were 33,60 % vs 47,33 % (p = 0,288) and 72,10 % vs 80,37 % (p = 0,022) in Group 1 and 2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS An extensive surgical effort leads to a significant increase in complete cytoreduction with acceptable morbidity. Arm-in-arm with novel maintenance therapies, it contributes to increasing the outcomes of patients with advanced HGOC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metastases in the supragastric lesser sac (SGLS) are not only occult but are also barriers to complete resection of ovarian cancer. We describe a cohort of patients with SGLS disease undergoing debulking surgery. METHODS We identified all patients who underwent evaluation and eventual resection of SGLS disease as part of cytoreductive surgery for stage IIIC-IVB high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer at our institution from January 2018 to August 2022. RESULTS Thirty-three of 286 patients (11.5%) underwent resection of SGLS disease. Metastases in the SGLS were identified by preoperative imaging in 4 of 33 patients (12.1%). The median peritoneal cancer index score was 22 (range, 9-33). Through surgical exploration, metastases were frequently seen in the right diaphragm (100%), hepatorenal recess (97%), lesser omentum (81.8%), left diaphragm (78.8%), supracolic omentum (75.8%), anterior transverse mesocolon (72.7%), splenic hilum (63.6%), ligamentum teres hepatis (60.6%), and gallbladder fossa (51.5%). The lesser omentum was normal in 6 of 33 (18.2%) patients, despite metastases within the SGLS. A total of 54.5% of patients underwent complex surgery (surgical complexity scores; median, 8; range, 3-14). Complete resections were achieved in 19 (57.6%) patients. No complications were related to the resection of SGLS disease. The median length of progression-free survival was 24.8 months (95% confidence interval=16.6-32.9). CONCLUSION Metastases to the SGLS are not uncommon in advanced ovarian cancer, particularly those with widely disseminated disease. Disease in this recess is rarely identified by preoperative imaging and deserves systematic surgical exploration to attain complete cytoreduction.

The impact of varying levels of residual disease following cytoreductive surgery on survival outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis. BMC Womens Health 2024; 24:179. [PMID: 38491366 PMCID: PMC10941390 DOI: 10.1186/s12905-024-02977-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Residual disease following cytoreductive surgery in patients with ovarian cancer has been associated with poorer survival outcomes compared with no residual disease. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the impact of varying levels of residual disease status on survival outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer who have undergone primary cytoreductive surgery or interval cytoreductive surgery in the setting of new therapies for this disease. METHODS Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases (January 2011 - July 2020) and grey literature, bibliographic and key conference proceedings, were searched for eligible studies. Fixed and random-effects meta-analyses compared progression and survival by residual disease level across studies. Heterogeneity between comparisons was explored via type of surgery, disease stage, and type of adjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS Of 2832 database and 16 supplementary search articles screened, 50 studies were selected; most were observational studies. The meta-analysis showed that median progression-free survival and overall survival decreased progressively with increasing residual disease (residual disease categories of 0 cm, > 0-1 cm and > 1 cm). Compared with no residual disease, hazard ratios (HR) for disease progression increased with increasing residual disease category (1.75 [95% confidence interval: 1.42, 2.16] for residual disease > 0-1 cm and 2.14 [1.34, 3.39] for residual disease > 1 cm), and also for reduced survival (HR versus no residual disease, 1.75 [ 1.62, 1.90] for residual disease > 0-1 cm and 2.32 [1.97, 2.72] for residual disease > 1 cm). All comparisons were significant (p < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed an association between residual disease and disease progression/reduced survival irrespective of type of surgery, disease stage, or type of adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis provided an update on the impact of residual disease following primary or interval cytoreductive surgery, and demonstrated that residual disease was still highly predictive of progression-free survival and overall survival in adults with ovarian cancer despite changes in ovarian cancer therapy over the last decade. Higher numerical categories of residual disease were associated with reduced survival than lower categories.

Association between the quantitative characteristics of dual-energy spectral CT and cytoreduction surgery outcome in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancers: A prospective observational study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37437. [PMID: 38457565 PMCID: PMC10919493 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the association between the quantitative characteristics of dual-energy spectral CT and cytoreduction surgery outcome in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). In this prospective observational study, patients with advanced EOC (federation of gynecology and obstetrics stage III-IV) treated in the Department of Gynecological Oncology at our Hospital between June 2021 and March 2022 were enrolled. All participants underwent dual-energy spectral computed tomography (DECT) scanning 2 weeks before cytoreductive surgery. The quantitative data included peritoneal cancer index (PCI) determined by DECT, CT value at 70 keV, normalized iodine concentration, normalized water concentration, effective atomic number (effective-Z), and slopes of the spectral attenuation curves (slope λ Hounsfield unit). Fifty-five participants were included. The patients were 57.2 ± 9.8 years of age, and 72.7% were menopausal. The maximal diameter of tumors was 8.6 (range, 2.9-19.7) cm, and 76.4% were high-grade serous carcinomas. Optimal cytoreduction was achieved in 43 patients (78.2%). Compared with the optimal cytoreductive group, the suboptimal cytoreductive group showed a higher PCI (median, 21 vs 6, P < .001), higher 70 keV CT value (69.5 ± 16.6 vs 57.1 ± 13.0, P = .008), and higher slope λ Hounsfield unit (1.89 ± 0.66 vs 1.39 ± 0.60, P = .015). The multivariable analysis showed that the PCI (OR = 1.74, 95%CI: 1.24-2.44, P = .001) and 70 keV CT value (OR = 1.07, 95%CI: 1.01-1.13, P = .023) were independently associated with a suboptimal cytoreductive surgery. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of PCI and 70 keV CT value was 0.903 (95%CI: 0.805-1.000, P = .000) and 0.740 (95%CI: 0.581-0.899, P = .012), respectively. High PCI and 70 keV CT value are independently associated with suboptimal cytoreductive surgery in patients with advanced EOC. The PCI determined by DECT might be a better predictor for suboptimal cytoreduction.

Abstract
Complex surgery is an essential component in the management of advanced ovarian cancer. Furthermore, achieving complete gross resection in cytoreductive surgery appears to be associated with significant survival benefits in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The goal of this review is to demonstrate the advancement of surgical techniques in gynecologic oncology surgery, including resection of disease within the intrathoracic and inguinal regions. This progress has expanded the option of surgery to more patients, especially those who would have previously been deemed inoperable. In this review we describe the most notable studies and reports of surgical resection of ovarian cancer involving cardiophrenic/supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes, mediastinum, lung pleura or parenchyma, and the inguinal region. We also describe the growing role that video-assisted thoracic surgery has played in advanced ovarian cancer diagnosis and management. The studies, series, and reports described demonstrate that comprehensive surgical procedures outside of the abdomen or pelvis can be both safe and feasible in properly selected patients. They also suggest that resection of disease outside of the abdomen or pelvis may benefit appropriately selected patients. Future studies are necessary to identify which patients may benefit most from upfront surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy when ovarian cancer metastasis is present in the thoracic or inguinal regions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the theoretical impact of regionalizing cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer (OC) to high-volume facilities on patient travel. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with OC who underwent cytoreduction between 1/1/2004-12/31/2018 from the New York State Cancer Registry and Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System. Hospitals were stratified by low-volume (<21 cytoreductive surgical procedures for OC annually) and high-volume centers (≥21 procedures annually). A simulation was performed; outcomes of interest were driving distance and time between the centroid of the patient's residence zip code and the treating facility zip code. RESULTS Overall, 60,493 patients met inclusion criteria. Between 2004 and 2018, 210 facilities were performing cytoreductive surgery for OC in New York; 159 facilities (75.7%) met low-volume and 51 (24.3%) met high-volume criteria. Overall, 10,514 patients (17.4%) were treated at low-volume and 49,979 (82.6%) at high-volume facilities. In 2004, 78.2% of patients were treated at high-volume facilities, which increased to 84.6% in 2018 (P < .0001). Median travel distance and time for patients treated at high-volume centers was 12.2 miles (IQR, 5.6-25.5) and 23.0 min (IQR, 15.2-37.0), and 8.2 miles (IQR, 3.7-15.9) and 16.8 min (IQR, 12.4-26.0) for patients treated at low-volume centers. If cytoreductive surgery was centralized to high-volume centers, median distance and time traveled for patients originally treated at low-volume centers would be 11.2 miles (IQR, 3.8-32.3; P < .001) and 20.2 min (IQR, 13.6-43.0; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Centralizing cytoreductive surgery for OC to high-volume centers in New York would increase patient travel burden by negligible amounts of distance and time for most patients.

Abstract
Due to the typical peritoneal spread of the disease, together with cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, the role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is gainig more interest in advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) treatment. Indeed, the addition of hyperthemia seems to enhance the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy directly delivered on peritoneal surface. So far, data on HIPEC administration during the primary debulking surgery (PDS) have been controversial. Indeed, despite flaws and biases, a survival advantage in a subgroup analysis of a prospective randomized trial of PDS+HIPEC treated patients was not demonstrated, whilst positive results are coming from a large retrospective cohort of patients treated with HIPEC after upfront surgery. In this setting, larger prospective data from an ongoing trial are expected by 2026. Contrariously, the addition of HIPEC with cisplatin 100mg/m2 at the time of interval debulking surgery (IDS) has shown to prolong both progression-free and overall survival by prospective randomized data, despite few controversies on the methodology and the results of this trial arose among the experts. So far, available high quality data on HIPEC treatment after surgery for disease recurrence failed to demonstrate a survival benefit in this group of patients, however few trials are ongoing and results are awaited. With this article, we aim to discuss the main findings of available evidence and the objectives of ongoing trials on the addition of HIPEC to various timing of cytoreductive surgery in AOC, also in view of the development of precision medicine and targeted therapies in AOC treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the current state for ovarian cancer surgery in France from 2009 to 2016 and to examine the impact of the volume of activity on morbidity and mortality by institution. MATERIAL AND METHOD National retrospective study analyzing surgical sessions for ovarian cancer from the program of medicalization of information systems (PMSI), from January 2009 to December 2016. Institutions were divided according to the number of annual curative procedures into 3 groups: A<10; B: 10-19; C≥20. A propensity score (PS) and the Kaplan-Meier method were employed for statistical analyses. RESULTS In total, 27,105 patients were included. The 1-month mortality rate in group A, B and C was 1.6; 1 and 0.7 %, respectively (P<0.001). Compared to group C, the Relative Risk (RR) of death within the first month was 2.22 for group A and 1.32 for group B (P<0.01). After MS, the 3- and 5-year survival in group A+B and group C were 71.4 and 60.3% (P<0.05) and 56.6, and 60.3% (P<0.05), respectively. The 1-year recurrence rate was significantly lower in group C (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION An annual volume of activity>20 advanced stage ovarian cancers is associated with a decrease in morbidity, mortality, recurrence rate and improved survival.

Preoperative serum level of CA153 and a new model to predict the sub-optimal primary debulking surgery in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:64. [PMID: 38395933 PMCID: PMC10885626 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03336-2] [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: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish a preoperative model to predict the outcome of primary debulking surgery (PDS) for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) patients by combing Suidan predictive model with HE4, CA125, CA153 and ROMA index. METHODS 76 AOC Patients in revised 2014 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III-IV who underwent PDS between 2017 and 2019 from Yunnan Cancer Hospital were included. Clinical data including the levels of preoperative serum HE4, CA125, CA153 and mid-lower abdominal CT-enhanced scan results were collected. The logistics regression analysis was performed to find factors associated with sub-optimal debulking surgery (SDS). The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive performances of selected variables in the outcome of primary debulking surgery. The predictive index value (PIV) model was constructed to predict the outcome of SDS. RESULTS Optimal surgical cytoreduction was achieved in 61.84% (47/76) patients. The value for CA125, HE4, CA153, ROMA index and Suidan score was lower in optimal debulking surgery (ODS) group than SDS group. Based on the Youden index, which is widely used for evaluating the performance of predictive models, the best cutoff point for the preoperative serum HE4, CA125, CA153, ROMA index and Suidan score to distinguish SDS were 431.55 pmol/l, 2277 KU/L, 57.19 KU/L, 97.525% and 2.5, respectively. Patients with PIV≥5 may not be able to achieve optimal surgical cytoreduction. The diagnostic accuracy, NPV, PPV and specificity for diagnosing SDS were 73.7%, 82.9%, 62.9% and 72.3%, respectively. In the constructed model, the AUC of the SDS prediction was 0.770 (95% confidence interval: 0.654-0.887), P<0.001. CONCLUSION Preoperative serum CA153 level is an important non-invasive predictor of primary SDS in advanced AOC, which has not been reported before. The constructed PIV model based on Suidan's predictive model plus HE4, CA125, CA153 and ROMA index can noninvasively predict SDS in AOC patients, the accuracy of this prediction model still needs to be validated in future studies.

Abstract
Purpose Achieving no residual disease is essential for increasing overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in ovarian cancer patients. However, the survival benefit of achieving no residual disease during both intrathoracic and abdominopelvic cytoreductive surgery is still unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the survival benefit and safety of intrathoracic and abdominopelvic cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer patients. Methods We systematically searched for studies in online databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. We used Q statistics and I-squared statistics to evaluate heterogeneity, sensitivity analysis to test the origin of heterogeneity, and Egger's and Begg's tests to evaluate publication bias. Results We included 4 retrospective cohort studies, including 490 patients, for analysis; these studies were assessed as high-quality studies. The combined hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for OS was 1.92 (95% CI 1.38-2.68), while the combined HR for PFS was 1.91 (95% CI 1.47-2.49). Only 19 patients in the four studies reported major complications, and 4 of these complications were surgery related. Conclusion The maximal extent of cytoreduction in the intrathoracic and abdominopelvic tract improves survival outcomes, including OS and PFS, in advanced ovarian cancer patients with acceptable complications.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer most commonly presents at advanced stages, and prognosis is influenced by residual disease following cytoreduction. The significance of cardiophrenic lymph node resection at the time of cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer remains a topic of debate. Enlarged cardiophrenic lymph nodes are detected through high-resolution imaging; however, the optimal imaging technique in determining feasibility of node resection remains uncertain. Similarly, the impact of excision of cardiophrenic lymph nodes on progression-free and overall survival remains elusive. The indications for resection of cardiophrenic lymph nodes are not addressed in standard ovarian cancer guidelines. Patients with cardiophrenic lymph nodes exceeding 1 cm in size may be considered for resection if complete intra-abdominal cytoreduction is feasible to no gross residual. The surgical approach might be either by open access or by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (minimally invasive approach), and major complications following cardiophrenic lymph nodes resection are low. Pathological cardiophrenic lymph nodes are associated with a poorer overall prognosis and can serve as a prognostic parameter; however, the therapeutic benefit of cardiophrenic lymph nodes resection remains inconclusive.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the factors associated with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with ovarian cancer in Cyprus. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from patients with histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and primary peritoneal cancer (PPC). RESULTS A total of 106 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer were included, with a median age at diagnosis of 58 years. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a median OS of 41 months (95% C.I = 36.9, 45.1), and the FIGO stage (p < 0.001), type of surgery (p < 0.001) and performance status (p < 0.001) were identified as statistically significant prognostic factors for OS. PFS analysis revealed the FIGO stage (p = 0.006) and the performance status (p < 0.001) as significant prognostic factors. Additionally, a Cox regression analysis for median OS was performed for patients with high-grade serous carcinoma, identifying the performance status, FIGO stage, and type of surgery as prognostic factors in univariate analysis. However, in the subsequent multivariate analysis, the performance status and the FIGO stage were confirmed to be the only statistically significant prognostic factors for OS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study confirms that the FIGO stage, performance status, and surgery type were considered as prognostic factors for OS in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare 30-day postoperative complications for patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent resection to no gross residual disease versus optimal and suboptimal cytoreduction. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of women drawn from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program who underwent cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer between 2014 and 2019 was performed. Exposure of interest was extent of surgical resection defined as no gross residual disease; residual disease <1 cm (optimal); and residual disease >1 cm (suboptimal). Primary outcome was postoperative complication. Associations were examined with bivariable tests and multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 2248 women underwent cytoreductive surgery; 68.4% (n = 1538) underwent resection to no gross residual disease, 22.4% (n = 504) had an optimal, and 9.2% (n = 206) had a suboptimal cytoreduction. Optimal cytoreduction patients had the highest rates of any postoperative complication (35.5%, p < 0.001). They also had the longest operative times and procedures that were most surgically complex (203 min, 43.6 relative value units, both p < 0.05). However, patients who underwent optimal cytoreduction did not have increased odds of major complications (adjusted odds ratio: 1.20, 95% confidence interval: 0.91-1.58). CONCLUSION Patients who underwent optimal cytoreduction had more postoperative complications, required the most operating room time, and represented more complex surgeries compared with suboptimal cytoreduction or resection to no gross residual disease.

Abstract
Giant ovarian cysts (>10 cm) are rare due to the widespread use of routine imaging. However, in the absence of compressive symptoms, giant cysts remain a diagnostic challenge, especially in patients with larger body habitus. Complications of benign ovarian cysts are infrequent but can include torsion of the adnexa. Bilateral torsion is a rare emergency that can threaten a patient's future fertility. In this case, we report on a 24-year-old female with bilateral torsion due to a triad of adnexal masses including a 30 cm mucinous cystadenoma, a 10 cm mature teratoma, and an 8 cm paratubal cyst. Controlled fluid aspiration was performed prior to en bloc resection of the cystadenoma due to the emergent nature of the case and lack of malignant features.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the available evidence on the use of minimal invasive surgery (MIS) in the management of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Background MIS is currently performed to stage and treat EOC at different stage of presentation. We will evaluate risks and benefits of minimally invasive surgery for early stage EOC treatment, then potential advantages provided by staging laparoscopy in identifying patients suitable for primary cytoreductive surgery (PDS) will be discussed. Finally we will investigate the growing role of MIS in the treatment of advanced EOC after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and in the treatment of EOC recurrence. Methods An electronic database search was performed on PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar for relevant studies up to December 2022. Conclusion LPS represents a feasible surgical procedure for the staging and treatment in early, advanced and EOC relapse in selected patients treated in high-volume oncological centers by surgeons with adequate experience in advanced surgical procedures. Despite the increasing use of MIS over the last few years, randomized clinical trials are still needed to prove its effectiveness.

Abstract
Extrapelvic endometriosis is a rare presentation of endometriosis with atypical clinical symptoms. It can mimic peritoneal surface malignancy, as well as some abdominal infectious diseases. A 29-year-old Moroccan woman presented with abdominal pain, progressive abdominal distention, and an intermittent inflammatory syndrome. Imaging revealed multiple, progressively growing abdominal cysts. She had elevated tumor markers CA125 and CA19.9. Despite thorough investigation, several differential diagnoses persisted for a long time. Definitive pathological diagnosis could only be established after debulking surgery. Literature review on malignant and benign conditions causing multicystic abdominal distention is provided. When definitive diagnosis is not established, but suspicion for peritoneal malignancy remains, a debulking procedure can be undertaken. Organ preservation can be pursued whenever benign disease is still considered. In case of malignancy, short-term (curative) debulking procedure with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can be proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been no studies concerning the complications or benefits of cholecystectomy in ovarian cancer. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the outcomes of cholecystectomy performed during various time periods of the disease course and suggest a management strategy for cholecystectomy in ovarian cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent cholecystectomy during the cytoreductive surgery from 2009 to 2020. Cholecystectomy was primarily indicated when the gallbladder and surrounding structures were considered to have metastatic tumor invasion. If the final pathologic results showed free of malignant tumor, patients were placed into the no-infiltration group. Clinical outcomes including the recurrence rate and complications were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 62 patients underwent cholecystectomy, 48 of whom (77.4%) underwent cholecystectomy during primary or interval debulking surgery, whereas 14 (22.6%) underwent cholecystectomy during the follow-up period (five with benign disease and 9 with disease recurrence). Among the patients, 32 (51.6%) patients were included in the no-infiltration group in the final pathology. There were no complications observed in the no-infiltration group (n = 32). Seven (78%) of the nine patients who received cholecystectomy for disease recurrence had metastatic disease in the porta-hepatis or lesser sac at the time of primary surgery. However, no recurrent lesions were observed around the porta-hepatis in patients who received cholecystectomy during primary treatment. CONCLUSION Considering the safety of the procedure, as well as the risk of disease recurrence or cholecystitis, a cholecystectomy can be offered to patients with ovarian cancer who have metastatic lesions around the gallbladder and porta-hepatis at the time of primary surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the feasibility, safety, and survival outcomes of intrathoracic cytoreduction during primary debulking surgery (PDS) for advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS We conducted a database review of patients with stage IIIB-IV ovarian (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) carcinoma who underwent PDS at our institution from 01/01/2006-9/30/2021. Patients who underwent intrathoracic cytoreduction as part of primary treatment were included. Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or surgery for reasons other than cytoreduction were excluded. RESULTS Among 178 patients identified for inclusion, complete gross resection (CGR) in the abdomen and thorax was achieved in 131 (74%); 45 (25%) had optimal cytoreduction, and 2 (1%) had suboptimal cytoreduction. Thirty-one patients (17%) had at least one grade ≥ 3 complication; 8 were possibly related to intrathoracic cytoreduction. There were no deaths within 30 days following surgery. Median length of follow-up among survivors was 53.4 months. Among all patients, the median PFS was 33.6 months (95% CI: 24.7-61.9) and the 3-year PFS rate was 48.9% (95% CI: 41.2%-56.2%). Median OS was 81.3 months (95% CI: 68.9-103). When stratified by residual disease status, median PFS was 51.8 months when CGR was achieved versus 16.7 months with residual disease (HR: 2.17; P < .001) and median OS was 97.6 months when CGR was achieved versus 65.9 months with residual disease (HR: 2.05; P = .003). CONCLUSIONS Intrathoracic cytoreduction during PDS for advanced ovarian cancer is both safe and feasible. CGR can be achieved in patients with intrathoracic disease if properly selected, and could significantly improve both PFS and OS.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of mortality in patients with gynecologic malignancies. Advanced-stage high-grade serous carcinoma accounts for most ovarian cancer cases. Current issues in the management of patients with newly diagnosed advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer include decisions on primary versus interval cytoreduction, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, maintenance therapy, incorporation of bevacizumab, and germline and somatic genetic testing. Evidence and guidelines regarding these topics are addressed in this review.

[PMID: 36681011 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2023.01.009] [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: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the indications and management of grade III-IV postoperative complications in patients requiring vacuum-assisted open abdomen after debulking surgery for ovarian carcinomatosis. METHODS Retrospective study of prospectively collected data from patients who underwent a cytoreductive surgery by laparotomy for an epithelial ovarian cancer that required postoperative management of an open abdomen. An abdominal vacuum-assisted wound closure (VAWC) was applied in cases of abdominal compartmental syndrome (ACS) or intra-abdominal hypertension, to prevent ACS. The fascia was closed with a suture or a biologic mesh. The primary aim was to achieve primary fascial closure. Secondary outcomes considered included complications of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and open abdominal wounds (hernia, fistula). RESULTS Two percent of patients who underwent CRS required VAWC during the study's patient inclusion period. VAWC indications included: (i) seven cases of gastro-intestinal perforation, (ii) three necrotic enterocolitis, (iii) two intestinal ischemia, (iv) three anastomotic leakages and (v) four intra-abdominal hemorrhages. VAWC was used to treat indications (i) to (iv) (which represented 73.7% of cases), to prevent compartmental syndrome. Primary fascia closure was achieved in 100% of cases, in four cases (21.0%) a biologic mesh was used. Median hospital stay was 65 days (range: 18-153). Four patients died during hospitalization, three of these within 30 days of VAWC completion. CONCLUSION VAWC for managing open abdominal wounds is a reliable technique to treat surgical post-CRS complications in advanced ovarian cancer and reduces the early post-operative mortality in cases presenting with severe complications.

Facility level variation in the utilization of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with higher surgical morbidity for patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Gynecol Oncol 2023; 169:41-46. [PMID: 36502768 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2022.10.025] [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: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigate outcomes for advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients based on facility-level utilization of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). METHODS Stage III-IV EOC patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2016 were identified in the National Cancer Database. Percentage of patients managed with NACT was calculated for facilities, reporting ≥120 patients. Facilities with lowest and highest quartile of NACT rate comprised the low and high-utilizing groups. Clinico-pathological characteristics were collected, and appropriate statistical analysis performed. RESULTS High- and low-utilizing facilities managed on average 54.1% and 25.4% of patients with NACT respectively. Patients managed at high-utilizing facilities were significantly more likely to be >65 (p = 0.029), have stage IV disease (p < 0.001) and comorbidities (p < 0.001). Patients managed with primary debulking surgery (PDS) at low-utilizing facilities were significantly more likely to be >65, have stage IV disease, and have comorbidities (all, p < 0.001). Patients undergoing PDS at low-utilizing facilities were significantly less likely to achieve complete gross resection (p < 0.001), and were significantly more likely to experience 90-day mortality (p < 0.001), and unplanned 30-day readmission (p < 0.001). After controlling for age, comorbidities, race, insurance status, stage, grade and histology, high-utilizing facilities trended towards better overall survival (OS) (HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.85-0.99). Overall, patients undergoing PDS had better OS compared to those who had NACT (median 42 vs 27 months, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Despite treating an EOC population with more advanced disease and comorbidities, high-utilizing facilities have lower surgical morbidity and mortality with no detrimental impact on long-term survival. Careful patient selection to minimize the morbidity and mortality associated with PDS is pivotal.

Abstract
Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) is a positive-sense RNA virus that can be repurposed for gene delivery applications. Understanding the self-assembly process of the virus enabled to remove its genome and replace it with desired nucleic acids, and we and others have previously reported using CCMV virus-like particle (VLP) to encapsulate siRNA, mRNA, as well as CpG oligodeoxynucleotides. In this study, the CCMV VLP was applied to encapsulate two different formats of anti-miR-181a oligonucleotides: naked RNA and chemically stabilized RNA to knockdown highly regulated miR-181a in ovarian cancer cells. miR-181a expression in ovarian tumors is associated with high aggressiveness, invasiveness, resistance to chemotherapy, and overall poor prognosis. Therefore, miR-181a is an important target for ovarian cancer therapy. qPCR data and cancer cell migration assays demonstrated higher knockdown efficacy when anti-miR-181a oligonucleotides were encapsulated and delivered using the VLPs resulting in reduced cancer cell invasiveness. Importantly, delivery of anti-miR-181a oligonucleotide into cells could be achieved without the aid of a transfection agent or surface modification. These results highlight the opportunity of plant-derived VLPs as nucleic acid carriers.

Abstract
We conducted an observational single-center cohort study on patients with recurrent high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma that underwent secondary surgical cytoreduction with extent of partial ileectomy and/or colectomy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (Paclitaxel-Carboplatin). All patients performed previously primary debulking surgery without residual disease, followed by three cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to compare survival in patients with ostomy or end-to-end anastomosis that underwent secondary cytoreduction. Furthermore, we investigated the morbidity, the rate, timing and complications of the ostomy or end-to-end anastomosis after secondary cyto-reduction.

Abstract
Over two thirds of ovarian cancer patients present with advanced stage disease at the time of diagnosis. In this scenario, standard treatment includes a combination of cytoreductive surgery and carboplatinum-paclitaxel-based chemotherapy. Despite the survival advantage of patients treated with upfront cytoreductive surgery compared to women undergoing neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and interval debulking surgery (IDS) due to high tumor load or poor performance status has been demonstrated by multiple studies, this topic is still a matter of debate. As a consequence, selecting the adequate treatment through an appropriate diagnostic pathway represents a crucial step. Aiming to assess the likelihood of leaving no residual disease at the end of surgery, the role of the CT scan as a predictor of cytoreductive outcomes has shown controversial results. Similarly, CA 125 level as an expression of tumor load demonstrated limited applicability. On the contrary, laparoscopic assessment of disease distribution through a validated scoring system was able to identify, with the highest specificity, patients undergoing suboptimal cytoreduction and therefore best suitable for NACT-IDS. Against this background, with this article, we aim to provide a comprehensive review of available evidence on the diagnostic and treatment pathways of advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The presence of macroscopic residual disease after primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) is an important factor influencing survival for patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC). More research is needed to identify factors associated with having macroscopic residual disease. We analyzed 12 lifestyle and personal exposures known to be related to ovarian cancer risk or inflammation to identify those associated with having residual disease after surgery. METHODS This analysis used data on 2054 patients with advanced stage HGSC from the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium. The exposures were body mass index, breastfeeding, oral contraceptive use, depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate use, endometriosis, first-degree family history of ovarian cancer, incomplete pregnancy, menopausal hormone therapy use, menopausal status, parity, smoking, and tubal ligation. Logistic regression models were fit to assess the association between these exposures and having residual disease following PCS. RESULTS Menopausal estrogen-only therapy (ET) use was associated with 33% lower odds of having macroscopic residual disease compared to never use (OR = 0.67, 95%CI 0.46-0.97, p = 0.033). Compared to nulliparous women, parous women who did not breastfeed had 36% lower odds of having residual disease (OR = 0.64, 95%CI 0.43-0.94, p = 0.022), while there was no association among parous women who breastfed (OR = 0.90, 95%CI 0.65-1.25, p = 0.53). CONCLUSIONS The association between ET and having no macroscopic residual disease is plausible given a strong underlying biologic hypothesis between this exposure and diagnosis with HGSC. If this or the parity finding is replicated, these factors could be included in risk stratification models to determine whether HGSC patients should receive PCS or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to elucidate the prognostic value of preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) after primary surgery in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients using a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Methods We retrospectively reviewed consecutive EOC patients who underwent primary surgery between January 2008 and December 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to the optimal cutoff value of preoperative LMR. PSM (1:1) was conducted to eliminate confounding factors. A Cox proportional hazards model and the Kaplan-Meier estimator were employed to investigate the potential prognostic factors. Results A total of 368 EOC patients were included in this study. The optimal cutoff value of LMR was identified as 4.65. Low preoperative LMR was significantly correlated with low albumin, high CA125 level, more blood loss, a high likelihood of ascites, advanced FIGO stage, and poor differentiation (all p < 0.05). After matching, Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the group with LMR < 4.65 experienced significantly shorter OS (p = 0.015). Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that low LMR (HR = 1.49, p = 0.041), advanced FIGO stage (HR = 5.25, p < 0.001), and undefined residual disease (HR = 3.77, p = 0.002) were independent factors in predicting poor OS. A forest plot revealed that LMR had better prognostic value in younger EOC patients, patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and albumin ≥ 35 g/L, CA125 ≥ 35 U/L, patients who had undergone optimal surgery, and those who had completed chemotherapy. Additionally, low-LMR patients who had undergone incomplete chemotherapy had a shorter median OS compared with those who completed chemotherapy treatment (48.5 vs. 105.9 months, p = 0.026). Conclusions LMR could be used as an independent prognostic factor for EOC patients after primary surgery; a noticeable negative effect of LMR was observed among EOC patients with age < 65, good preoperative nutritional status, and more aggressive tumor biology, and among those who underwent optimal surgery. Completing adjuvant chemotherapy is essential to improve survival outcomes among EOC patients with LMR < 4.65 after surgery.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer cell dissemination can lead to the mortality of patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Complete surgery for no gross residual disease contributes to a more favorable prognosis than that of patients with residual disease. HCFs have highly regular porous structures and their 3D porous structures act as scaffolds for cell adhesion. HCFs are fabricated from biodegradable polymers and have been widely used in tissue engineering. This study aimed to show that HCFs suppress tumor growth in an in vivo ovarian cancer model. The HCF pore sizes had a significant influence on tumor growth inhibition, and HCFs induced morphological changes that rounded out ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, we identified gene ontology (GO) terms and clusters of genes downregulated by HCFs. qPCR analysis demonstrated that a honeycomb structure downregulated the expression of CXCL2, FOXC1, MMP14, and SNAI2, which are involved in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, focal adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM), and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Collectively, HCFs induced abnormal focal adhesion and cell morphological changes, subsequently inhibiting the differentiation, proliferation and motility of ovarian cancer cells. Our data suggest that HCFs could be a novel device for inhibiting residual tumor growth after surgery, and could reduce surgical invasiveness and improve the prognosis for patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We present a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) that is the precursor underpinning the Bayesian analyses that adjust for publication bias, presented in the same edition in AJT. The review assesses optimal cytoreduction for women undergoing primary advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) surgery. AREAS OF UNCERTAINTY To assess the impact of residual disease (RD) after primary debulking surgery in women with advanced EOC. This review explores the impact of leaving varying levels of primary debulking surgery. DATA SOURCES We conducted a systematic review and random-effects NMA for overall survival (OS) to incorporate direct and indirect estimates of RD thresholds, including concurrent comparative, retrospective studies of ≥100 adult women (18+ years) with surgically staged advanced EOC (FIGO stage III/IV) who had confirmed histological diagnoses of ovarian cancer. Pairwise meta-analyses of all directly compared RD thresholds was previously performed before conducting this NMA, and the statistical heterogeneity of studies within each comparison was evaluated using recommended methods. THERAPEUTIC ADVANCES Twenty-five studies (n = 20,927) were included. Analyses demonstrated the prognostic importance of complete cytoreduction to no macroscopic residual disease (NMRD), with a hazard ratio for OS of 2.0 (95% confidence interval, 1.8-2.2) for <1 cm RD threshold versus NMRD. NMRD was associated with prolonged survival across all RD thresholds. Leaving NMRD was predicted to provide longest survival (probability of being best = 99%). The results were robust to sensitivity analysis including only those studies that adjusted for extent of disease at primary surgery (hazard ratio 2.3, 95% confidence interval, 1.9-2.6). The overall certainty of evidence was moderate and statistical adjustment of effect estimates in included studies minimized bias. CONCLUSIONS The results confirm a strong association between complete cytoreduction to NMRD and improved OS. The NMA approach forms part of the methods guidance underpinning policy making in many jurisdictions. Our analyses present an extension to the previous work in this area.

Abstract
Purpose The most important prognostic factor for survival in ovarian cancer patients is complete cytoreduction. The preoperative prediction of suboptimal cytoreduction, considered as any residual disease at the end of surgery, could prevent futile surgery and morbidity. Here, we aimed to identify markers in the preoperative abdominal CT scans of an unselected cohort of patients with ovarian cancer that are predictive of incomplete cytoreduction. Methods This is a single-institution retrospective analysis of 105 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients treated with surgical cytoreduction between 2010 and 2020. Twenty-two variables on preoperative abdominal CT scans were compared to the intraoperative macroscopic findings by Fisher's exact test. Parameters with a significant correlation between intraoperative findings and imaging were analyzed by multivariate binary logistic regression analysis regarding the surgical outcome of complete versus incomplete cytoreduction. Results Complete cytoreduction (CC), indicated by the absence of macroscopic residual disease, was achieved in 79 (75.2%) of 105 patients and 46 (63.9%) of 72 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III and IV patients. Twenty patients (19%) were incompletely cytoreduced due to miliary carcinomatosis of the small bowel, and six patients (5.7%) had various locations of residual disease. Thirteen variables showed a significant correlation between imaging and surgical findings. Large-volume ascites, absence of numerically increased small lymph nodes at the mesenteric root, and carcinomatosis of the transverse colon in FIGO stage III and IV patients decreased the rate of CC to 26.7% in the multivariate analysis. Conclusion Large-volume ascites, the absence of numerically increased small lymph nodes at the mesenteric root, and carcinomatosis of the transverse colon are markers in preoperative CT scans predicting a low chance for complete cytoreduction in unselected ovarian cancer patients in a real-world setting.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common neoplasm in women with a high mortality rate mainly due to a marked propensity for peritoneal spread directly at diagnosis, as well as tumor recurrence after radical surgical treatment. Treatments for peritoneal metastases have to be designed from a patient's perspective and focus on meaningful measures of benefit. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), a strategy combining maximal cytoreductive surgery with regional chemotherapy, has been proposed to treat advanced ovarian cancer. Preliminary results to date have shown promising results, with improved survival outcomes and tumor regression. As knowledge about the disease process increases, practice guidelines will continue to evolve. In this review, we have reported a broad overview of advanced ovarian cancer management, and an update of the current evidence. The future perspectives of the Italian Society of Surgical Oncology (SICO) are discussed conclusively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgery is the cornerstone of the treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. Reaching complete cytoreduction resulting in no gross residual disease often requires complex surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of increased surgical radicality on the risk of complications in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS All consecutive patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO Stage IIIB-IVB) who had undergone primary or interval debulking surgery during a six-year study period were identified. In the midst of the study period, a surgical practice change towards maximal surgical effort occurred. Two groups were formed for the analysis: cohort A, that consisted of patients operated before the surgical paradigm shift and cohort B, that consisted of patients operated under the period of increased surgical radicality. RESULTS 252 patients were included in the analysis. Complete resection (R0) was achieved in 21.3% of surgeries in cohort A and in 51.2% in cohort B. The total postoperative complication rate was 76.2%. Most of the complications (86.5%) were minor (Clavien-Dindo I-IIIA). The patients in cohort B were at increased risk for complications, OR 2.94 (95%CI 1.58-5.47; p = 0.001). As for the approach to cytoreduction (primary vs. interval debulking), there was no statistically significant association with the occurrence of postoperative complications (p = 0.659). CONCLUSION In the present study more extensive surgeries led to better surgical results but increased postoperative morbidity. Postoperative complication rates were similar in both primary and interval debulking surgeries.

Abstract
The use of minimally invasive surgical techniques is becoming increasingly important in gynecologic oncology due to technical advances and the increasing level of surgical expertise. In addition to laparoscopic approaches for the treatment of benign neoplasms, minimally invasive surgical methods have also become established in some areas for treating gynecologic malignancies. For tumor entities such as endometrial and cervical carcinoma, there are conclusive studies emphasizing the role of laparoscopy in surgical therapy. By contrast, due to a lack of prospective data with survival analyses, no clear conclusions can be drawn on the significance of laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of ovarian carcinoma. However, some smaller, mostly retrospective case-control studies and cohort studies open the way for a discussion, positing the possibility that laparoscopic surgical procedures, particularly for early ovarian carcinoma, are technically feasible and of a quality equivalent to that of conventional longitudinal laparotomy, and may also be associated with lower perioperative morbidity. In this article we discuss the most important aspects of using minimally invasive surgical techniques for ovarian carcinoma based on the current literature. In particular we look at the relevance of laparoscopy as a primary approach for surgical staging of early ovarian carcinoma, and we evaluate the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in assessing the operability of advanced ovarian carcinoma.

Nectin-4 as Blood-Based Biomarker Enables Detection of Early Ovarian Cancer Stages. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14235867.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the third most common gynecological malignancy and has the highest mortality rate. Owing to unspecific symptoms, ovarian cancer is not detected until an advanced stage in about two-thirds of cases. Therefore, it is crucial to establish reliable biomarkers for the early stages to improve the patients’ prognosis. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the ADAM17 substrates Nectin-4, Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and Amphiregulin (AREG) could function as potential tumor markers for ovarian cancer. In this study a set of 231 sera consisting of 131 ovarian cancer patients and 100 healthy age-matched controls were assembled. Nectin-4, HB-EGF and AREG levels of preoperatively collected sera were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our analysis revealed that Nectin-4 and HB-EGF were significantly increased compared to the age-matched control group (p < 0.0001, p = 0.016). Strikingly, significantly higher Nectin-4 and HB-EGF levels were detected in early-stage FIGO I/II (p <0.001; p = 0.025) compared to healthy controls. Eighty-four percent (16/19) of patients with low Ca-125 levels showed increased Nectin-4 levels. Our study proposes Nectin-4 and HB-EGF as promising blood-based biomarkers for the detection of early stages of ovarian cancer patients that would not have been detected by Ca-125.

Abstract
BackgroundSignal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) transcription factors, a family of genes encoding transcription factors, have been linked to the development of numerous types of tumors. However, there is a relative paucity of a comprehensive investigation of the expression and functional analysis of STATs in ovarian cancer (OV).MethodGene expression profile interaction analysis (GEPI2A), Metascape, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Kaplan-Meier Plotter, Linkedomics, and CancerSEA databases were used for expression analysis and functional enrichment of STATs in ovarian cancer patients. We screened potential predictive genes and evaluated their prognostic value by constructing the minor absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox proportional risk regression model. We explored STAT5A expression and its effects on cell invasion using ovarian cancer cells and a tissue microarray.ResultsThe expression level of STAT1 was higher, but that of STAT2-6 was lower in cancerous ovarian tissues compared to normal tissues, which were closely associated with the clinicopathological features. Low STAT1, high STAT4, and 6 mRNA levels indicated high overall survival. STAT1, 3, 4, and 5A were collectively constructed as prognostic risk models. STAT3, and 5A, up-regulating in the high-risk group, were regarded as risk genes. In subsequent validation, OV patients with a low level of P-STAT5A but not low STAT5A had a longer survival time (P=0.0042). Besides, a negative correlation was found between the expression of STAT5A and invasion of ovarian cancer cells (R= -0.38, p < 0.01), as well as DNA repair function (R= -0.36, p < 0.01). Furthermore, transient overexpression of STAT5A inhibited wound healing (21.8%, P<0.0001) and cell migration to the lower chamber of the Transwell system (29.3%, P<0.0001), which may be achieved by regulating the expression of MMP2.ConclusionIt is suggested that STAT1, STAT4, and STAT6 may be potential targets for the proper treatment of ovarian cancer. STAT5A and P-STAT5A, biomarkers identified in ovarian cancer, may offer new perspectives for predicting prognosis and assessing therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer represents worldwide the second most frequent and the most fatal gynecological malignancy, with approximately two thirds of the patients presenting with advanced disease. Cytoreductive surgery, primary or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard of care for these patients. Despite the improvement in quality of cytoreductive surgery as well as development of novel drugs and chemotherapy regimens, still most women with ovarian cancer will ultimately develop recurrent disease and die of their disease. In contrast to the management of primary disease, the standard treatment of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer remains a topic of debate. While platinum-based or second line systemic chemotherapy, depending on the time after last platinum treatment, is standard of care, the role of secondary cytoreductive surgery has been a controversial issue for the last decades. Potential outcome benefit must be also weighed against the risk of severe surgical morbidity, impairment of quality of life and costs. In platinum-resistant recurrent disease, i.e., relapse after less than 6 months from the last platinum-based chemotherapy for primary disease, secondary cytoreduction seems generally not to be indicated due to its aggressive biological behavior and the absence of effective systemic treatment. In this comprehensive review, the current role of cytoreductive surgery in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer is discussed thoroughly in view of the results of most recent randomized trials and a meta-analysis. There seems to be definitely a role for secondary cytoreductive surgery in selected patients with ovarian cancer recurrence in whom complete resection of macroscopic disease is feasible. However, its role should be continuously reviewed due to the changing systemic treatment of patients with ovarian cancer recurrence over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer among women and a leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancies. Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common type, accounting for around 90% of all ovarian cancers. This specific type of ovarian cancer starts in the surface layer covering the ovary or lining of the fallopian tube. Surgery is performed either before chemotherapy (upfront or primary debulking surgery (PDS)) or in the middle of a course of treatment with chemotherapy (neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and interval debulking surgery (IDS)), with the aim of removing all visible tumour and achieving no macroscopic residual disease (NMRD). The aim of this review is to investigate the prognostic impact of size of residual disease nodules (RD) in women who received upfront or interval cytoreductive surgery for advanced (stage III and IV) epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). OBJECTIVES To assess the prognostic impact of residual disease after primary surgery on survival outcomes for advanced (stage III and IV) epithelial ovarian cancer. In separate analyses, primary surgery included both upfront primary debulking surgery (PDS) followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS). Each residual disease threshold is considered as a separate prognostic factor. SEARCH METHODS We searched CENTRAL (2021, Issue 8), MEDLINE via Ovid (to 30 August 2021) and Embase via Ovid (to 30 August 2021). SELECTION CRITERIA We included survival data from studies of at least 100 women with advanced EOC after primary surgery. Residual disease was assessed as a prognostic factor in multivariate prognostic models. We excluded studies that reported fewer than 100 women, women with concurrent malignancies or studies that only reported unadjusted results. Women were included into two distinct groups: those who received PDS followed by platinum-based chemotherapy and those who received IDS, analysed separately. We included studies that reported all RD thresholds after surgery, but the main thresholds of interest were microscopic RD (labelled NMRD), RD 0.1 cm to 1 cm (small-volume residual disease (SVRD)) and RD > 1 cm (large-volume residual disease (LVRD)). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently abstracted data and assessed risk of bias. Where possible, we synthesised the data in meta-analysis. To assess the adequacy of adjustment factors used in multivariate Cox models, we used the 'adjustment for other prognostic factors' and 'statistical analysis and reporting' domains of the quality in prognosis studies (QUIPS) tool. We also made judgements about the certainty of the evidence for each outcome in the main comparisons, using GRADE. We examined differences between FIGO stages III and IV for different thresholds of RD after primary surgery. We considered factors such as age, grade, length of follow-up, type and experience of surgeon, and type of surgery in the interpretation of any heterogeneity. We also performed sensitivity analyses that distinguished between studies that included NMRD in RD categories of < 1 cm and those that did not. This was applicable to comparisons involving RD < 1 cm with the exception of RD < 1 cm versus NMRD. We evaluated women undergoing PDS and IDS in separate analyses. MAIN RESULTS We found 46 studies reporting multivariate prognostic analyses, including RD as a prognostic factor, which met our inclusion criteria: 22,376 women who underwent PDS and 3697 who underwent IDS, all with varying levels of RD. While we identified a range of different RD thresholds, we mainly report on comparisons that are the focus of a key area of clinical uncertainty (involving NMRD, SVRD and LVRD). The comparison involving any visible disease (RD > 0 cm) and NMRD was also important. SVRD versus NMRD in a PDS setting In PDS studies, most showed an increased risk of death in all RD groups when those with macroscopic RD (MRD) were compared to NMRD. Women who had SVRD after PDS had more than twice the risk of death compared to women with NMRD (hazard ratio (HR) 2.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.80 to 2.29; I2 = 50%; 17 studies; 9404 participants; moderate-certainty). The analysis of progression-free survival found that women who had SVRD after PDS had nearly twice the risk of death compared to women with NMRD (HR 1.88, 95% CI 1.63 to 2.16; I2 = 63%; 10 studies; 6596 participants; moderate-certainty). LVRD versus SVRD in a PDS setting When we compared LVRD versus SVRD following surgery, the estimates were attenuated compared to NMRD comparisons. All analyses showed an overall survival benefit in women who had RD < 1 cm after surgery (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.32; I2 = 0%; 5 studies; 6000 participants; moderate-certainty). The results were robust to analyses of progression-free survival. SVRD and LVRD versus NMRD in an IDS setting The one study that defined the categories as NMRD, SVRD and LVRD showed that women who had SVRD and LVRD after IDS had more than twice the risk of death compared to women who had NMRD (HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.20 to 3.66; 310 participants; I2 = 56%, and HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.49 to 3.34; 343 participants; I2 = 35%; very low-certainty, for SVRD versus NMRD and LVRD versus NMRD, respectively). LVRD versus SVRD + NMRD in an IDS setting Meta-analysis found that women who had LVRD had a greater risk of death and disease progression compared to women who had either SVRD or NMRD (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.21 to 2.11; 6 studies; 1572 participants; I2 = 58% for overall survival and HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.23 to 2.52; 1145 participants; I2 = 60% for progression-free survival; very low-certainty). However, this result is biased as in all but one study it was not possible to distinguish NMRD within the < 1 cm thresholds. Only one study separated NMRD from SVRD; all others included NMRD in the SVRD group, which may create bias when comparing with LVRD, making interpretation challenging. MRD versus NMRD in an IDS setting Women who had any amount of MRD after IDS had more than twice the risk of death compared to women with NMRD (HR 2.11, 95% CI 1.35 to 3.29, I2 = 81%; 906 participants; very low-certainty). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS In a PDS setting, there is moderate-certainty evidence that the amount of RD after primary surgery is a prognostic factor for overall and progression-free survival in women with advanced ovarian cancer. We separated our analysis into three distinct categories for the survival outcome including NMRD, SVRD and LVRD. After IDS, there may be only two categories required, although this is based on very low-certainty evidence, as all but one study included NMRD in the SVRD category. The one study that separated NMRD from SVRD showed no improved survival outcome in the SVRD category, compared to LVRD. Further low-certainty evidence also supported restricting to two categories, where women who had any amount of MRD after IDS had a significantly greater risk of death compared to women with NMRD. Therefore, the evidence presented in this review cannot conclude that using three categories applies in an IDS setting (very low-certainty evidence), as was supported for PDS (which has convincing moderate-certainty evidence).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of preoperative 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan, combined with clinical variables, in predicting complete cytoreduction in selected patients with advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS We carried out a multicenter, observational, retrospective study evaluating patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer in two Spanish centers between January 2017 and January 2022. Inclusion criteria were histological confirmation of invasive epithelial ovarian carcinoma; preoperative International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III or IV; upfront cytoreductive surgery; and 18F-FDG PET/CT performed 1 month prior to surgery. A modified 18F-FDG PET/CT peritoneal cancer index score was calculated for all patients. Clinical variables and preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT findings were analyzed and a multivariate model was constructed. A predictive score based on the odds ratio of the variables was calculated to determine patient selection. RESULTS A total of 45 patients underwent primary cytoreductive surgery. Complete resection was achieved in 36 (80%) patients. On multivariate analysis, two clinical variables (age ≥58 years and American Society of Anesthesiology score ≥3) and two preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT scan findings (presence of extra-abdominal lymph node involvement and modified peritoneal cancer index value of 6 or more) were associated with gross residual disease. For this multivariate model predictive of non-complete cytoreduction, the area under the curve was 0.881. A predictive value of ≥5 was the most predictive cut-off for gross residual disease. Complete resection rate was 91.7% in patients with a score of ≤4 and 33.3% in patients with a score of ≥5 points on the predictive score. CONCLUSIONS In selected patients, a predictive score value ≥5 may be consider as a cut-off point for triaging patients to diagnostic laparoscopy before the primary surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

BMC Surg 2022; 22:338. [PMID: 36096791 PMCID: PMC9469563 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-022-01786-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives We report the 20-year experience of the largest Australian unit performing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for ovarian cancer and reflect on learning opportunities. Methods A retrospective review of all cases of CRS for ovarian cancer at St George Peritonectomy Unit from Jan 1998 to Jan 2018 was performed. Prospectively collected data include age, stage, histology, disease extent (PCI), completeness of cytoreduction (CC score), HIPEC regime, 30-day surgical morbidity, disease recurrence, and death. Survival was computed using Kaplan–Meier method and analysed using log-rank tests and Cox-proportional hazards models. Results Forty-one women with advanced ovarian cancer (11 primary stage III/IV, 30 recurrent) underwent CRS, 29 (71%) with HIPEC. Most (68%) had high-volume disease (PCI > 15). In 98%, CC0/CC1 (residual < 2.5 mm) was achieved. Fourteen (34%) had grade 3/4 complications, 1 patient (2%) died within 30 days and 2 patients (5%) died within 90 days. Progression-free and median overall survival was 30.0 and 67.0 months for primary cancer, and 6.7 and 18.1 months for recurrent cancer. Survival was associated with platinum-sensitivity, PCI ≤ 15, and CC score 0, but not HIPEC. Conclusion This study reports outcomes for patients with advanced ovarian cancer patients treated in an Australian centre offering CRS and HIPEC. Whilst survival and morbidity outcomes were good for primary disease, they were poorer than predicted from the literature for cases of recurrent disease. The incorporation of evidence-based predictors of survival and multidisciplinary input are essential to achieve the best survival outcomes.

Abstract
Peritoneal dissemination of ovarian cancer (OC) correlates with poor prognosis, but the mechanisms underlying the escape of OC cells from the intraperitoneal immune system have remained unknown. We here identify pigment epithelium–derived factor (PEDF) as a promoting factor of OC dissemination, which functions through induction of CD206+ Interleukin-10 (IL-10)–producing macrophages. High PEDF gene expression in tumors is associated with poor prognosis in OC patients. Concentrations of PEDF in ascites and serum are significantly higher in OC patients than those with more benign tumors and correlated with early recurrence of OC patients, suggesting that PEDF might serve as a prognostic biomarker. Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) inhibitors reduce PEDF expression and limit both OC cell survival and CD206+ macrophage induction in the peritoneal cavity. Our results thus implicate PEDF as a driver of OC dissemination and identify a BET protein–PEDF–IL-10 axis as a promising therapeutic target for OC. Endogenously expressed pigment epithelium–derived factor (PEDF) promotes increased survival of ovarian cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity by inducing IL-10 expression in CD206 + peritoneal macrophages.

Abstract
Development of platinum resistance is one of the major causes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treatment failure. COP9 signalosome subunit 5 (COPS5) was found to take part in the progression of EOC in our previous study. Herein, we aim to uncover the potential utility of COPS5 in EOC chemoresistance. COPS5 levels were analyzed to define clinic pathologic correlates using a matched tissue microarray and online datasets. The effect of COPS5 inhibition by the lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA on cell viability, proliferation and migration was accessed in vitro and in vivo. Results showed that COPS5 was upregulated in patients after platinum resistance. Kaplan–Meier survival curves revealed that COPS5 overexpression was correlated with shorter PFS and OS. COPS5 downregulation inhibited the cell proliferation, migration, and reduced the sensitivity of EOC to platinum. Overall, our data indicated that COPS5 inhibition might represent a new therapeutic strategy for overcoming platinum resistance in patients with EOC.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer has the highest fatality rate among female reproductive system cancers, which is due to lack of biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the role of matrix metalloproteinase 17 (MMP17) in ovarian cancer tumorigenesis and prognosis. Based on the epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in The Cancer Genome Atlas database, we determined the expression of MMP17 using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. The biological functions of MMP17 were evaluated using the Metascape database and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. The association between MMP17 and immune cell infiltration was investigated by single sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. Logistic analysis was applied to study the correlation between MMP17 expression and clinicopathological characteristics. Finally, Cox regression analysis, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and nomograms were used to determine the predictive value of MMP17 on clinical outcomes in EOC patients. The expression of MMP17 was much higher in EOC patients than in pericarcinomatous tissues (P < .001). MMP17-associated differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in cell extracellular matrix (ECM) degrading and corresponding pathways in the high MMP17 expression phenotype. MMP17 has a high sensitivity and specificity for EOC diagnosis, with an area under the curve of 0.988. MMP17 expression was found to be an independent risk factor for overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.488, P < .001), progression-free interval (HR: 1.347, P < .01), and disease-specific survival (HR: 1.548, P < .01). Increased MMP17 expression in EOC may contribute to carcinogenesis by degrading ECM and provide diagnostic and prognostic value for clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Aim This study aims to evaluate the incidence of postoperative ileus (POI) following cytoreductive surgery in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients and its impact on anastomotic leakage occurrence and postoperative complications. Methods A total of 357 surgeries were performed on 346 ovarian cancer patients between 1/2010 and 12/2020 at our institution. The postoperative course regarding paralytic ileus, anastomotic leakage, and postoperative complications was analyzed by Fisher's exact test and through ordinal logistic regression. Results A total of 233 patients (65.3%) returned to normal gastrointestinal functions within 3 days after surgery. A total of 123 patients (34.5%) developed POI. There were 199 anastomoses in 165 patients and 24 leakages (12.1%). Postoperative antibiotics (p 0.001), stoma creation (p 0.0001), and early start of laxatives (p 0.0048) significantly decreased POI, while anastomoses in general (p 0.0465) and especially low anastomoses (p 0.0143) showed increased POI rates. Intraoperative positive fluid excess >5,000 cc was associated with a higher risk for POI (p 0.0063), anastomotic leakage (p 0.0254), and severe complications (p 0.0012). Conclusion Postoperative antibiotics, an early start with laxatives, and stoma creation were associated with reduced POI rates. Patients with anastomoses showed an increased risk for POI. Severe complications, anastomotic leakages, and POI were more common in the case of intraoperative fluid balance exceeding 5,000 cc.

Residual Microscopic Peritoneal Metastases after Macroscopic Complete Cytoreductive Surgery for Advanced High-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma: A Target for Folate Receptor Targeted Photodynamic Therapy? Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15081034. [PMID: 36015182 PMCID: PMC9416203 DOI: 10.3390/ph15081034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite conventional treatment combining complete macroscopic cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and systemic chemotherapy, residual microscopic peritoneal metastases (mPM) may persist as the cause of peritoneal recurrence in 60% of patients. Therefore, there is a real need to specifically target these mPM to definitively eradicate any traces of the disease and improve patient survival. Therapeutic targeting method, such as photodynamic therapy, would be a promising method for such a purpose. Folate receptor alpha (FRα), as it is specifically overexpressed by cancer cells from various origins, including ovarian cancer cells, is a good target to address photosensitizing molecules. The aim of this study was to determine FRα expression by residual mPM after complete macroscopic CRS in patients with advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). A prospective study conducted between 1 June 2018 and 10 July 2019 in a single referent center accredited by the European Society of Gynecological Oncology for advanced EOC surgical management. Consecutive patients presenting with advanced HGSOC and eligible for complete macroscopic CRS were included. Up to 13 peritoneal biopsies were taken from macroscopically healthy peritoneum at the end of CRS and examined for the presence of mPM. In case of detection of mPM, a systematic search for RFα expression by immunohistochemistry was performed. Twenty-six patients were included and 26.9% presented mPM. In the subgroup of patients with mPM, FRα expression was positive on diagnostic biopsy before neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 67% of patients, on macroscopic peritoneal metastases for 86% of patients, and on mPM for 75% of patients. In the subgroup of patients with no mPM, FRα expression was found on diagnostic biopsy before neoadjuvant chemotherapy in 29% of patients and on macroscopic peritoneal metastases in 78% of patients. FRα is well expressed by patients with or without mPM after complete macroscopic CRS in patients with advanced HGSOC. In addition to conventional cytoreductive surgery, the use of a therapeutic targeting method, such as photodynamic therapy, by addressing photosensitizing molecules that specifically target FRα may be studied.

Preoperative PET/CT score can predict incomplete resection after debulking surgery for advanced serous ovarian cancer better than CT score, MTV, tumor markers and hematological markers. Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2022; 101:1315-1327. [PMID: 35979992 PMCID: PMC9812200 DOI: 10.1111/aogs.14442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Complete resection after debulking surgery is strongly associated with prolonged survival for advanced serous ovarian cancer (ASOC). Though positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is more advantageous than computed tomorgraphy (CT) for detecting metastases, studies on the PET/CT prediction model for incomplete resection for ovarian cancer are insufficient. We analyzed and compared the predictive value of preoperative PET/CT score, CT score, metabolic parameters, tumor markers and hematological markers for incomplete resection after debulking surgery for ASOC. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 62 ASOC patients who underwent preoperative [18 F]FDG PET/CT and debulking surgery were retrospectively analyzed. PET/CT and CT scores were based on the Suidan model. The predictive value of PET/CT score, CT score, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), cancer antigen 125 (CA125), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for incomplete resection were analyzed and compared. RESULTS Preoperative PET/CT score had the highest predictive value for incomplete resection in primary debulking surgery group (sensitivity: 65.0%, specificity: 88.9%, area under the ROC curve (AUC): 0.847, p < 0.001), however, in secondary debulking surgery group, preoperative PET/CT score and CT score had the same and highest predictive value for incomplete resection (sensitivity: 80.0%, specificity: 94.7%, AUC: 0.853, p = 0.017), compared with preoperative metabolic parameters SUVmax and MTV, tumor markers HE4 and CA125, and hematological markers LMR, PLR and NLR. Preoperative PET/CT score ≥ 3 (Suidan model) and preoperative PET/CT score ≥ 2 predicted a high risk of incomplete resection after primary and secondary debulking surgeries, respectively. There was no statistical difference between primary and secondary debulking surgery groups in predictive value of PET/CT score for incomplete resection (p = 0.971). There were significant differences between PET/CT scores and CT scores in primary debulking surgery group and no significant differences in secondary debulking surgery group. CONCLUSIONS A high PET/CT score predicted a high risk of incomplete resection. The preoperative PET/CT score had an identical predictive value in primary and secondary debulking surgery groups. PET/CT score was more accurate in the detection of metastases than CT score was.
