Yang C, Zhang T, Gong A, Shi C. Influence of lymphadenectomy on survival and recurrence in patients with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis. BMC Womens Health 2023; 23:474. [PMID: 37667358 PMCID: PMC10478186 DOI: 10.1186/s12905-023-02615-6] [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: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lymphadenectomy on survival and recurrence in patients with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (eEOC). METHODS Relevant studies were searched from four online databases. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) or risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs were used to evaluate the effects of lymphadenectomy on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and recurrence rates. A subgroup analysis was performed to explore the sources of heterogeneity, followed by sensitivity and publication bias assessments. RESULTS Fourteen articles involving 22,178 subjects were included. Meta-analysis revealed that lymphadenectomy was significantly associated with improved OS (HR = 0.72; 95% CI:0.61, 0.84; P < 0.001), improved PFS (HR = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.67, 0.80; P < 0.001), and reduced recurrence rates (RR = 0.72; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.85; P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that factors including area, histology, and source of the control group were significantly related to improved OS and PFS in patients with eEOC. Sensitivity analysis showed that the combined results were stable and reliable, and no significant publication bias was observed. CONCLUSIONS Patients with eEOC can benefit from lymphadenectomy, with improved survival outcomes (OS and PFS) and a lower recurrence rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess current European practices in the management of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in 2021. METHODS A 58-question electronic survey was distributed anonymously to the members of six European learned societies. Initial diagnostic workup and staging, pathological data, surgical data, treatments and follow-up strategies were assessed. RESULTS A total of 171 participants from 17 European countries responded to emailed surveys. Most participants were experienced practitioners (superior than 15 years of experience) specializing in gynecology-obstetrics (29.8%), surgical oncology (25.1%), and oncogynecology (21.6%). According to most (64.8%) participants, less than 50% of patients were eligible for primary debulking surgery. Variations in the rate of primary debulking surgery depending on the country of origin of the practitioners were observed in this study. The LION study criteria were applied in 70.4% of cases during PDS and 27.1% after chemotherapy. In cases of BRCA1-2 mutations, olaparib was given by 75.0-84.8% of respondents, whereas niraparib was given in cases of BRCA wild-type diseases. CONCLUSIONS This study sheds light on current practices and attitudes regarding the management of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in Europe in 2021.

Systematic lymph node dissection during interval debulking surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Gynecol Oncol 2022; 33:e69. [PMID: 35882606 PMCID: PMC9428300 DOI: 10.3802/jgo.2022.33.e69] [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: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of systematic lymph node dissection (SyLND) at the time of interval debulking surgery (IDS) for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC). Methods Systematic literature review of studies including AEOC patients undergoing SyLND versus selective lymph node dissection (SeLND) or no lymph node dissection (NoLND) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Primary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included severe postoperative complications, lymphocele, lymphedema, blood loss, blood transfusions, operative time, and hospital stay. Results Nine retrospective studies met the eligibility criteria, involving a total of 1,660 patients: 827 (49.8%) SyLND, 490 (29.5%) SeLND, and 343 (20.7%) NoLND. The pooled estimated hazard ratios (HR) for PFS and OS were, respectively, 0.88 (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.65–1.20; p=0.43) and 0.80 (95% CI=0.50–1.30; p=0.37). The pooled estimated odds ratios (ORs) for severe postoperative complications, lymphocele, lymphedema, and blood transfusions were, respectively, 1.83 (95% CI=1.19–2.82; p=0.006), 3.38 (95% CI=1.71–6.70; p<0.001), 7.23 (95% CI=3.40–15.36; p<0.0001), and 1.22 (95% CI=0.50–2.96; p=0.67). Conclusion Despite the heterogeneity in the study designs, SyLND after NACT failed to demonstrate a significant improvement in PFS and OS and resulted in a higher risk of severe postoperative complications. Trial Registration PROSPERO Identifier: CRD42022303577 Systematic lymph node dissection (SyLND) during interval debulking surgery (IDS) for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer failed to demonstrate a significant improvement in survival rates. The risk of postoperative complications was higher when SyLND was performed. The role of imaging for nodal evaluation after neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains a matter of debate. Further high-quality evidence is required before definitively omitting SyLND during IDS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To appraise clinical outcomes of systematic lymphadenectomy in women with ovarian cancer based on stage, control group and type of chemotherapy. STUDY DESIGN A literature search was conducted on SCOPUS, PUBMED, COCHRANE, MEDLINE, and WEB OF SCIENCE databases. All comparative studies that assess outcomes of systematic lymphadenectomy in patients with ovarian cancer were eligible. Overall survival was analyzed by pooling log hazard ratio (HR) and standard error of multivariable Cox regression models. MOGGE Meta-analysis Matrix is a novel illustration tool that was used to demonstrate multiple subgroup analyses of included studies. RESULTS Twenty-two studies were eligible. Systematic lymphadenectomy was associated with better overall survival, that was close to significance, compared to control group (HR 0.93, 95 %CI 0.86-1.00). Among women treated with adjuvant chemotherapy, overall survival improved in women with stage IIB-IV who underwent systematic lymphadenectomy (HR 0.91, 95 %CI 0.84-0.99) and was most significant among patients with stage III to IV (HR 0.85, 95 %CI 0.73-0.99). Systematic lymphadenectomy did not improve survival in women who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR 0.97, 95 %CI 0.73-1.29). Systematic lymphadenectomy was associated with improved progress-free survival compared to control group (HR 0.88, 95 %CI 0.79-0.99). CONCLUSION Although data from clinical trials do not support role of systematic lymphadenectomy in advanced ovarian cancer, overall data conveys stage-specific survival benefit. Further clinical trials may be warranted to assess substage survival outcomes in women with advanced stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess current French practices in the management of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. METHOD a 58-question electronic survey was distributed anonymously to the members of the SFOG (French Society of Gynaecological Oncology), GINECO-ARCAGY (National Investigators Group for Ovarian and Breast Cancer Studies in France) and FRANCOGYN (French research group in oncological and gynaecological surgery). Initial diagnostic workup and staging, pathological data, surgical data, treatments and follow-up strategies were assessed. RESULTS a total of 107 participants responded to emailed surveys. Most of the respondents were obstetrician-gynaecologists (37.4%), surgical oncologists (34.6%) and medical oncologists (17.8%). According to most (76.8%) participants, less than 50% of patients were eligible for primary debulking surgery (PDS). The LION study criteria were applied in 69.5% of cases during PDS and 39% after chemotherapy. The timing of BRCA testing was very heterogeneous and ranged from 1 to 6 months. The use of bevacizumab as an adjuvant schedule was lower in cases of no residual disease (for 54.5% of respondents) compared to cases of residual disease (for 63.6% of respondents). In cases of BRCA1-2 mutations, olaparib was given by 75.8-84.8% of respondents, whereas niraparib was given in cases of BRCA wild-type diseases. CONCLUSION this survey provides an extensive and a unique review of current French practices in the management of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in 2021.

Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to assess if additional lymphadenectomy with primary staging surgery improves overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of early-stage ovarian cancer (ESOC). Methods: PubMed and Embase databases were searched for any type of study comparing OS or DFS between lymphadenectomy and control groups for any type of ESOC. Adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were pooled in a random-effects model. Results: Twelve studies were included. Meta-analysis indicated that lymphadenectomy is associated with significantly improved OS only for epithelial tumors (HR 0.75 95% CI 0.68, 0.82 I2 = 0% p < 0.00001) but not for malignant germ cell tumors (HR 1.31 95% CI 0.88, 1.94 I2 = 0% p = 0.18). Single studies indicated a tendency of improved OS with lymphadenectomy which was significant for ovarian carcinosarcoma but not for sex cord-stromal tumors. On meta-regression of all histological types, the percentage of patients with lymph node metastasis in the lymphadenectomy group was not found to influence the effect size. Meta-analysis also indicated that lymphadenectomy is associated with significantly improved DFS for epithelial tumors (HR 0.59 95% CI 0.45, 0.77 I2 = 0% p < 0.0001). Single studies on malignant germ cell and sex cord-stromal tumors failed to demonstrate any significant beneficial effect of lymphadenectomy on DFS. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the review, lymphadenectomy may improve OS and DFS for epithelial ESOC. Scarce data suggest that lymphadenectomy is not associated with improved outcomes for malignant germ cell and sex cord-stromal tumors but may benefit ovarian carcinosarcoma. Large-scale RCTs and robust observational studies shall improve current evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced malignancies in the lower abdomen easily invade the retroperitoneal and pelvic space and often metastasize to the paraaortic and pelvic lymph nodes (LNs), resulting in paraaortic and/or pelvic tumor (PPT). CASE REPORT A total of 7 cases of aggressive malignant PPT resection and orthotopic replacement of the abdominal aorta and/or iliac arteries with synthetic arterial graft (SAG) were experienced during 16 years. We present our experience with aggressive resection of malignant PPTs accompanied by arterial reconstruction with SAG in detail. The primary diseases included 2 cases endometrial cancer and 2 cases of rectal cancer, and 1 case each of ovarian carcinosarcoma, vaginal malignant melanoma, and sigmoid cancer. Surgical procedures are described in detail. Briefly, the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries were anastomosed to the SAG by continuous running suture using unabsorbent polypropylene. Five Y-shaped and 2 I-shaped SAGs were used. This en bloc resection actually provided safe surgical margins, and tumor exposures were not pathologically observed in the cut surfaces. Graphical and surgical curability were obtained in all cases in which aggressive malignant PPT resections were performed. The short-term postoperative course of our patients was uneventful. From a vascular perspective, the SAGs remained patent over the long term after surgery, and long-term oncologic outcomes were satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this case series is the first report of aggressive malignant PPT resection accompanied by arterial reconstruction with SAG. This procedure is safe and feasible, shows curative potential, and may play a role in multidisciplinary management of malignant PPTs.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer in the United States and is the country's fifth most common cause of cancer mortality in women. A major challenge in treating ovarian cancer is that most patients have advanced disease at initial diagnosis. These NCCN Guidelines discuss cancers originating in the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum, as these are all managed in a similar manner. Most of the recommendations are based on data from patients with the most common subtypes─high-grade serous and grade 2/3 endometrioid. The NCCN Guidelines also include recommendations specifically for patients with less common ovarian cancers, which in the guidelines include the following: carcinosarcoma, clear cell carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, low-grade serous, grade 1 endometrioid, borderline epithelial, malignant sex cord-stromal, and malignant germ cell tumors. This manuscript focuses on certain aspects of primary treatment, including primary surgery, adjuvant therapy, and maintenance therapy options (including PARP inhibitors) after completion of first-line chemotherapy.

Deng T, Huang Q, Wan T, Luo X, Feng Y, Huang H, Liu J. The impact of lymph node dissection on survival in patients with clinical early-stage ovarian cancer. J Gynecol Oncol 2021; 32:e40. [PMID: 33825356 PMCID: PMC8039180 DOI: 10.3802/jgo.2021.32.e40] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To estimate the impact of lymph node dissection on survival in patients with apparent early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods We conducted a retrospective review of patients with clinical stage I–II EOC. All patients underwent primary surgery at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2003 and December 2015. Demographic features and clinicopathological information as well as perioperative adverse events were investigated, and survival analyses were performed. Results A total of 400 ovarian cancer patients were enrolled, and patients were divided into 2 groups: 81 patients did not undergo lymph node resection (group A), and 319 patients underwent lymph node dissection (group B). In group B, the median number of removed nodes per patient was 25 (21 pelvic and 4 para-aortic nodes). In groups A and B, respectively, the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 83.3% and 82.1% (p=0.305), and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 93.1% and 90.9% (p=0.645). The recurrence rate in the retroperitoneal lymph nodes was not associated with lymph node dissection (p=0.121). The median operating time was markedly longer in group B than in group A (220 minutes vs. 155 minutes, p<0.001), and group B had a significantly higher incidence of lymph cysts at discharge (32.9% vs. 0.0%, p<0.001). Conclusion In patients with early-stage ovarian cancer, lymph node dissection was not associated with a gain in OS or PFS and was associated with an increased incidence of perioperative adverse events.

Impact of Lymphadenectomy on Survival of Patients with Serous Advanced Ovarian Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: A French National Multicenter Study (FRANCOGYN). J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9082427. [PMID: 32751303 PMCID: PMC7464978 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9082427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2020] [Revised: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The population of interest to this study comprised individuals with advanced-stage ovarian carcinoma who were exposed to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS). Those who had not received systematic lymphadenectomy (SL; Group 1) were compared to those who had received SL (Group 2). Outcome measures included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and surgical complications. Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study in nine referral centers of France between January 2000 and June 2017. OS analysis using the multivariate Cox regression model was performed. PFS and surgery-related morbidity were analyzed. Results: Of the 255 patients included, 100 were in Group 1 and 155 in Group 2. Patient majority was, on average, younger and less comorbid, with predominant R0 surgery in Group 2. Dindo–Clavien score was similar between the two groups (p = 0.15). Median OS was 26.8 months in Group 2 and 27.6 months in Group 1. SL was not statistically significant on OS (p = 0.7). Median PFS was 18.3 months in Group 2 and 16.6 months in Group 1. SL had positive impact on PFS (p = 0.005). Conclusions: patients who had received SL (Group 2) had significantly higher PFS regardless of node-positivity status when compared to those who had not received SL (Group 1).

[PMID: 32518778 PMCID: PMC7262692 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v8.i10.1887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2019] [Revised: 04/07/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Leiomyosarcoma is a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma with adverse outcomes. Leiomyosarcoma accounts for nearly 70% of all uterine sarcomas and is responsible for a considerable proportion of deaths because of uterine cancer. Clinical characteristics and relevant diagnosis of pelvic leiomyosarcoma should be further explored.
AIM To identify the outcome and relevant perioperative evaluation of patients with pelvic leiomyosarcoma.
METHODS The Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine progression-free survival and overall survival rates. Factors predictive of outcomes were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.
RESULTS Fifty-one patients with pelvic leiomyosarcoma were enrolled and divided into two groups including uterine leiomyosarcoma and non-uterine leiomyosarcoma. Overall, 28.6% and 45.5% of uterine leiomyosarcoma and non-uterine leiomyosarcoma patients, respectively, had elevated carbohydrate antigen 125 levels, whereas 45.7% and 68.8%, respectively, underwent ultrasonography. Although 68.8% of uterine leiomyosarcoma patients were initially diagnosed with hysteromyoma, 72.7% of non-uterine leiomyosarcoma patients had pelvic and abdominal masses. Moreover, 93.3% of the recurrent lesions were detected using ultrasonography. Patients with International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages III–IV disease had poorer progression-free survival values than those with FIGO stages I–II (P = 0.027) disease. FIGO stage was significantly associated with poor progression-free survival in the univariate (hazard ratio = 2.64, P = 0.03) and multivariate (hazard ratio = 2.49, P = 0.048) analyses.
CONCLUSION Serum tumour biomarkers cannot be used for pelvic leiomyosarcoma diagnosis. FIGO stage is critical to predict the outcome of uterine leiomyosarcoma. Ultrasonography is more reliable for postoperative follow-up than preoperative diagnosis.

The value of systematic lymphadenectomy during debulking surgery in the treatment of ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. J Ovarian Res 2020; 13:56. [PMID: 32384898 PMCID: PMC7206784 DOI: 10.1186/s13048-020-00653-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2019] [Accepted: 04/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The therapeutic value of systematic lymphadenectomy during debulking surgery for ovarian cancer remains controversial. We conduct this meta-analysis to evaluate the significance of systematic lymphadenectomy in patients treated with optimal cytoreduction for ovarian cancer. Method The PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were searched up to October 2019. Only English-language publications of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the role of systematic lymphadenectomy in patients with ovarian cancer were selected for this analysis. For overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), pooled hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated; for complications rate, we calculated pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Statistical heterogeneity was assessed using both the I2 and chi-square tests. In cases of I2 being larger than 50%, a random-effect model was used, otherwise a fixed-effect model was used. Results Four RCTs involving 1607 patients were included in the present analysis. There was no difference in OS between systematic lymphadenectomy and unsystematic lymphadenectomy (HR = 1.00; 95% CI = 0.94, 1.07; p = 0.90). Similarly, no significant difference was observed in PFS between these two groups (HR = 0.97; 95% CI = 0.87, 1.08; p = 0.62). And postoperative complications occurred more frequently in the systematic lymphadenectomy group (RR = 1.50; 95% CI = 1.34, 1.68; p < 0.00001). Conclusion Systematic lymphadenectomy in patients with optimally cytoreduced ovarian cancer was not associated with longer overall or progression-free survival than unsystematic lymphadenectomy and was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed at comprehensively investigating the survival impact of lymphadenectomy during primary surgery in ovarian cancer. Methods: Based on the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results registry (SEER) database, we included ovarian cancer patients with detailed information between 2010 and 2016. Cox regression was performed to select prognostic factors. We conducted propensity score-weighted survival analysis to balance baseline variables, and series of stratified analyses to control main confounding factors. Results: A total of 8,652 patients were ultimately identified. Among 4,360 patients with advanced disease, lymphadenectomy did not show significant survival benefit in general (median overall survival 44 months in non-lymphadenectomy vs. 49 months in lymphadenectomy group, P = 0.055). In subgroup analysis on patients received optimal debulking, lymphadenectomy did not significantly benefit the survival outcome (median overall survival 51, 47, 60, and 58 months in the non-lymphadenectomy, 1-9 lymph nodes, 10-19 lymph nodes, ≥20 lymph nodes groups, respectively, P = 0.287). Consistent results were observed in further stratification analyses. In optimal debulking subgroup, lymph node metastasis indicated worse survival. However, when limited the number of removed lymph nodes to more than 15, there was a marginal statistical difference in overall survival (P = 0.0498) while no significant difference presented in cause-specific survival (P = 0.129) between non-lymphadenectomy, pathological negative lymph node group and positive lymph node group. And the regions of lymph metastasis were also not significantly associate with survival (P = 0.123). Among 3,266 (75%) patients with apparent early-stage disease received lymphadenectomy, 7.75% of whom were reported isolated lymph nodes metastasis and have a poorer survival (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In primary debulking for patients with advanced ovarian cancer, lymphadenectomy was not associated with more favorable outcomes when compared to no lymphadenectomy. The value of lymphadenectomy lies more in staging for apparent early disease rather than therapeutic benefit.

Abstract
Background: The effect of systematic lymphadenectomy (SL) on survival in patients with optimally debulked advanced ovarian cancer remains unclear. We evaluated the therapeutic value of SL in advanced ovarian cancer patients who underwent primary optimal debulking surgery. Methods: A meta-analysis was carried out using articles retrieved from the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between patients who underwent SL and those who underwent unsystematic lymphadenectomy (USL). Results: Seven studies that included 2,425 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were included in the meta-analysis. The overall analyses indicated significantly improved OS [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.49–0.84, P < 0.01] but not PFS (HR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.69–1.15, P = 0.38) in patients who underwent SL compared to those who underwent USL. Subgroup analyses based on study type, study quality, total numbers of patients, and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage provided similar results. However, subgroup analysis of patients with no residual tumor revealed that SL was not associated with improved OS (HR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.66–1.00, P = 0.05) or PFS (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.91–1.30, P = 0.33). Conclusions: In patients with optimally debulked advanced ovarian cancer, SL may improve OS but not PFS. However, SL does not provide a survival advantage when macroscopically complete resection of all visible tumors is achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM To investigate the overall survival rate, quality indicators and treatment outcome in FIGO stage IIIB-IVB epithelial ovarian cancer at a University Hospital in Sweden between 2006 and 2015. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cohort of 110 patients was followed-up for 3-12 years after cancer diagnosis. Three main groups (primary surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, palliative treatment), and six subgroups were defined according to treatment modality. RESULTS The mean age was 65 years. Patients were observed for a mean of 50 months. The total resection frequency was 83%. Significant differences in overall survival at 5 years were observed between the groups varying from 60% to 12%. CONCLUSION Patient age, tumor stage and complete tumor removal at surgery were significant, independent prognostic factors of overall survival. Complication rate was a significant adverse prognostic factor in univariate analysis. Data discrepancy was observed between public quality reports and locally obtained data.

Abstract
In March 2019, Harter et al. published the results of the LION study (Lymphadenectomy in patients with advanced ovarian neoplasms) which raises the question of pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy for patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). These results influenced the new French recommendations published in December 2018 by the French National Cancer Institute (INCa). Thus, it no longer seems consistent to perform a systematic lymphadenectomy for patients for whom there is no argument for nodal involvement, when a macroscopic complete peritoneal cytoreductive surgery has been performed. The question of preoperative lymph node assessment is therefore essential, whereas more than half of the patients in the LION study had metastatic lymph node involvement that was histologically proven. For the assessment of lymph node status by imaging, superior sensitivity for Positron Emission Tomography is demonstrated in comparison with CT-scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Nevertheless, thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT-scan with contrast injection remains the gold standard for this indication. In the absence of suspected involvement, supra-renal, mesenteric, coelio-hepatic, and cardio-phrenic lymphadenectomy are not recommended. Lymphadenectomies should always be performed in the other situations of EOC management apart from the rare case of stage 1 expansile subtype mucinous carcinoma. The aim of this review is to discuss lymphadenectomy indications for the surgical management of EOC by taking into account new data from the scientific literature.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the effect of lymphadenectomy on the survival outcomes of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database according to residual disease status. METHODS We evaluated 3048 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage-IIIC-IV epithelial ovarian cancer. We assessed the effect of lymphadenectomy stratified by residual disease size on cause-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS A total of 1904 (62.5%) patients received lymphadenectomy, and 1355 (71.2%) patients had nodal metastases. Lymph-node status had no significant association with residual tumor size in the lymphadenectomy group. In multivariate analysis, lymphadenectomy was associated with a significantly better CSS and was an independent prognostic factor for CSS. Patients with >10 lymph nodes removed had better CSS compared with non-lymphadenectomy and 1-10 lymph nodes removed groups. Lymphadenectomy was associated with a significantly better CSS in patients with no gross residual tumor, but not in patients with residual tumor ≤1 cm or >1 cm. CONCLUSIONS Lymphadenectomy is significantly associated with a better survival outcome in patients advanced ovarian cancer, but its positive effect diminishes as residual tumor size increases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cytoreduction to no residual disease is the mainstay of primary treatment for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AdvEOC). This review addresses recent insights on optimal patient selection, timing, and extent of surgery, intended to optimize cytoreduction in patients with AdvEOC. RECENT FINDINGS Clinical guidelines recommend primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) for AdvEOC patients with a high likelihood of achieving complete cytoreduction with acceptable morbidity. In line with this, preoperative prediction markers such as cancer antigen-125, histologic and genomic factors, innovative imaging modalities, and the performance of a diagnostic laparoscopy have been suggested to improve clinical decision-making with regard to optimal timing of cytoreductive surgery. To determine whether these strategies should be incorporated into clinical practice validation in randomized clinical trials is essential. SUMMARY The past decade has seen a paradigm shift in the number of AvdEOC patients that are being treated with upfront neoadjuvant chemotherapy instead of PCS. However, although neoadjuvant chemotherapy may reduce morbidity at the time of interval cytoreductive surgery, no favorable impact on survival has been demonstrated and it may induce resistance to chemotherapy. Therefore, optimizing patient selection for PCS is crucial. Furthermore, surgical innovations in patients diagnosed with AvdEOC should focus on improving survival outcomes.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to identify the clinical and pathological characteristics and the possible prognostic factors for Chinese patients with early-stage ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. Methods The present study reviewed the medical records of patients who received initial treatment and a postoperative pathological diagnosis of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma at our center. In all, 78 patients had stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. Results In this series, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates of patients with stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma was 98.7% and 87.2%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed the factors that influence the DFS rates include menopausal status, FIGO stage, histological grade, lymphadenectomy, cytology of ascites. Multivariate analysis showed that grade 3 and lymphadenectomy were the independent prognostic factors of DFS for Stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (P = 0.0259, 0.0276 respectively). However, the coexisting endometriosis, concomitant endometrial disorders, dissection of para-aortic lymph node and more courses of thermotherapy had no influence on DFS. Besides, it was found that 19.3% of patients in this series had synchronous early stage and well-to-moderate differentiated endometrial carcinoma. Conclusions Grade 3 and lymphadenectomy were indicated as the independent factors of DFS for stage I patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. The endometrial changes should be considered seriously when fertility-sparing surgery was planned.

Abstract
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has increased its feasibility in both early-stage cervical and endometrial cancer. There are few SLN studies regarding the ovary because of the risk of tumor dissemination and perhaps because the ovary represents an inconvenient site for injection. In this preliminary study, we have shown the feasibility of SLN mapping of the ovary with indocyanine green during laparoscopic retroperitoneal aortic surgical staging. The 10 women who were included in this study underwent aortic with pelvic laparoscopic staging, which included SLN biopsy, extrafascial total hysterectomy, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in case of an ovarian tumor. The fluorescent dye was injected on the dorsal and ventral side of the proper ovarian ligament and the suspensory ligament, close to the ovary and just underneath the peritoneum. In all cases except 1, SLNs were detected soon after the injection in the aortic compartment and in 3 cases also in the common iliac region. Only 1 intraoperative complication occurred: a superficial lesion of the vena cava that was recovered with a laparoscopic suture. Laparoscopic ovarian SLN mapping performed by means of an injection of indocyanine green fluorescent tracer in the ovarian ligaments seems feasible and promising. Further investigation are encouraged and necessary to evaluate the possible applications of this new technique for staging patients with early-stage ovarian cancer.
