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

Perioperative outcomes of cytoreductive surgery for tumours of colorectal or appendiceal origin with ovarian involvement. J Surg Oncol 2023; 128:66-74.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ovarian metastases (OM) are a common site for metastases in gastrointestinal tumours with peritoneal disease. This study aimed to evaluate perioperative complications between patients with and without OM following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for appendiceal/colorectal cancer. METHODS Female patients undergoing CRS ± HIPEC for appendiceal/colorectal tumours at a single centre from 2009 to 2020 were analysed. Patients were grouped according to presence or absence of OM at the time of CRS. RESULTS The study included 318 patients, 72 (22.6%) had OM. Operation duration was longer for patients with OM (332 vs. 276 min, p < 0.0001). Patients with OM achieved higher rates of complete cytoreduction (93% vs. 79%, p = 0.006) despite a higher peritoneal carcinomatosis index (13 vs. 7, p < 0.001) and were more likely to require a blood transfusion (32% vs. 19%, p = 0.024) and a stoma (24% vs.10%, p = 0.005). Increasing age and presence of abdominal symptoms were independent predictors of major and all-cause morbidity, respectively. The presence of abdominal symptoms was independently associated with all-cause morbidity in the OM group. CONCLUSION These results may assist with preoperative counselling. Prospective multicentre datasets are needed to evaluate morbidity in one- versus two-stage approaches for those with abdominal symptoms and OM.

Front Surg 2022; 9:881510. [PMID: 36034395 PMCID: PMC9407016 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.881510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To determine prognosis for young female patients with peritoneal pseudomyxoma (PMP) of appendiceal origin and unilateral or bilateral ovaries preserved during cytoreductive surgery (CRS). Methods Clinical data of female patients treated with CRS with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) at the Aerospace Center Hospital, Beijing between January, 2009 and December, 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients had no changes in the bilateral ovaries on gross pathological observations or biopsy during CRS, and normal ovarian function. The demographic and clinical characteristics and prognosis of women with ovaries preserved (ovarian preservation group) or resected (ovarian resection group) during CRS were compared. Independent prognostic factors for survival were identified using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results 40 patients were included in the final analysis. 19 patients chose ovarian preservation while 21 patients underwent ovarian resection. Completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) scores were CCR-0/1. There were significant differences in age (<40 vs. ≥40), symptoms, intraoperative HIPEC (Y vs. N), and histopathologic subtype of PMP (low-grade vs. high-grade) (p < 0.001) between patients in the ovarian preservation and ovarian resection groups. In the ovarian preservation group, median overall survival (OS) was 59 months (range, 53–65 months), and the 5-year survival rate was 37.9%. Median disease-free survival (DFS) was 13 months (range, 9–17 months), and the 5-year recurrence rate was 87.4%. In the ovarian resection group, the 5-year survival rate was 87.7%, and the 5-year recurrence rate was 18.3%. Median OS and median DFS were not reached. In patients with low-grade PMP, median DFS was significantly longer in patients with ovarian resection compared to ovarian preservation (p < 0.001). Univariate analysis showed histopathologic subtype of PMP (low-grade vs. high-grade, p < 0.001) was significantly associated with OS and DFS. On multivariate analysis, high-grade histopathologic subtype of PMP was an independent predictor of poor prognosis (OS and DFS). Conclusion Histopathologic subtype of PMP represents an independent predictor of prognosis in female patients with PMP of appendiceal origin and unilateral or bilateral ovaries preserved during CRS. These findings imply that ovarian preservation is a more suitable option for young females with low-grade PMP compared to high-grade PMP. Further prospective studies should be done investigating the role of resection of uninvolved ovaries in PMP.

Peritoneal metastases found in routinely resected specimens after cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Eur J Surg Oncol 2021; 48:795-802. [PMID: 35012833 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2021.12.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Revised: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peritoneal metastases (PM) originating from colorectal cancer (CRC) and pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) can be treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Certain sites in the peritoneal cavity are prone to contain PM and are, therefore, routinely resected. The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of disease in CRS specimens routinely resected. Secondly, to investigate if the risk of finding PM in routinely resected specimen is associated with involvement of anatomic related peritoneal areas. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study investigated 433 patients diagnosed with PMP (n = 119) or PM from CRC (n = 314) and operated with CRS + HIPEC between June 2006 and November 2020 at a national center. Baseline data were prospectively registered. Pathology reports were reviewed for the presence of metastases in the routinely resected umbilicus, ligamentum teres hepatis, ovaries and greater omentum. Tumor extent was estimated using the Dutch region count. RESULTS PM was found in 14.7% of umbilical resections, in 17.4% of the resected ligamentum teres hepatis, in 48.2% of the resected ovaries and in 49.5% of the greater omentum specimens. We found an association between macroscopic disease involvement of the nearest region and risk of PM found in the related resections. Seven of 31 women with no macroscopically visible disease in the pelvis had PM diagnosed in the resected ovaries. CONCLUSIONS A substantial proportion of routine resections held histologic verified PM. Our results may advocate for a routinely performed resection of the umbilicus, ligamentum teres hepatis, ovaries and greater omentum.

Abstract
Background Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) are detected in 0.7 to 1.7% of all appendicectomies. The diagnosis can be challenging, particularly in female patients where the differential diagnosis of primary appendiceal and ovarian mucinous neoplasms is unclear. Case Presentation. A 71-year-old female was referred to our tertiary hospital with the working diagnosis of a right ovarian cystic tumor. The lesion was identified through a transvaginal ultrasound performed for vague lower abdominal pain symptoms. CT scan confirmed these findings. Intraoperatively, an appendiceal mucocele was identified and a right hemicolectomy was performed. The histopathology examination revealed a LAMN. Six months later, the patient remains disease-free. A close biannual oncological follow-up has been suggested. Conclusion This case underlines the difficulty in determining the origin of mucinous neoplasms of the right pelvic area. Mucocele of the appendix should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass in the right iliac fossa.

Abstract
Pathology is central to the management of peritoneal surface malignancy. This article highlights some recent advances that have had an impact on patient management or could do so in the near future. Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, particularly the epithelioid subtype, is amenable to radical therapy in selected cases, and factors such as ki67 proliferation index, expression of BAP1 and mutation in CDKN2A show promise as prognostic indicators. Our understanding of multicystic mesothelioma has improved in recent years; it is a true neoplasm for which surgery may be indicated. Serous carcinomas involving the peritoneum are now known to originate from tubal epithelium. They are of two distinct types, high grade and low grade, which are now recognized as different neoplasms with distinctive features, oncogenesis and behavior. Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an unusual condition that usually arises from an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. Recent consensus in the classification and nomenclature of these lesions is discussed, including the distinction between low grade and high grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (HAMN), and the diagnostic criteria for appendiceal adenocarcinoma. PMP is divided into four prognostic groups: acellular mucin, low grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei, high grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei, and high grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei with signet ring cells. The pseudomyxoma microbiome is a promising area for clinical intervention but has been the subject of little research activity. Goblet cell adenocarcinoma (previously known as 'goblet cell carcinoid') is a distinctive type of appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Its behavior correlates with histologic features, but no general consensus for classification has been reached.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. Its incidence has been increasing in recent years, as has the number of cases of ovarian metastasis of colorectal cancer. The prognosis of colorectal cancer with ovarian metastasis is poor, and it is an important cause of death in female patients. A variety of clinicopathological factors were found to be related to the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer with ovarian metastasis, such as menopausal status, metastasis limited to the pelvis, and tumor differentiation. Tumor genetic characteristics also provide a new perspective for the prognostic evaluation of colorectal cancer with ovarian metastasis. The prognosis of ovarian metastasis is also closely associated with treatment. The major treatment methods are prophylactic oophorectomy, surgical resection of the primary and metastatic lesions, cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and systematic therapy. If feasible, complete surgical resection of the primary and ovarian metastatic macroscopic lesions combined with postoperative chemotherapy might currently be the most effective treatment for improving the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer with ovarian metastasis. Genetic analysis also provides a theoretical basis for potential targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinicopathological features and outcomes of patients undergone surgery for benign and metastatic adnexal masses during the surveillance of colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS A single institute retrospective study involving 90 patients diagnosed with CRC that undergone surgery at Hacettepe University Hospital between 2000-2018. Clinicopathological and survival data was obtained from hospital records. RESULTS Elevated blood levels of CEA (HR, 1.23; 95 % CI: 1.03-1.24; p = 0.01), adnexal masses larger than 5 cm (HR, 3.296; 95 % CI: 1.527-7.076; p = 0.002), bilaterality of adnexal mass (HR, 2.200; 95 % CI: 2.464-11.969; p = 0.001) and high PCI score (HR, 0.150; 95 % CI: 0.044-0.479; p = 0.01) were found to be significantly associated with ovarian metastasis. There was a significant difference in overall survival (OS), with respect to complete and incomplete resection in adnexal surgery of ovarian metastasis (46.6 vs. 29.6 months; p = 0.004). The median survival time was 32.8 months for patients with ≤ 24 months interval time to adnexal metastasis surgery, and 48.5 months for patients with >24 months interval time to adnexal metastasis surgery (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION This study showed that numerous clinicopathological variables such as bilaterality and size of adnexal mass, serum blood levels of CEA and PCI score may have a significant impact on the prediction and management of ovarian masses diagnosed during CRC surveillance. Complete resection and interval time to adnexal surgery is significantly associated with OS.

Abstract
Equivocal signs and symptoms along with anatomical position of appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (AMN) makes it difficult to diagnose. Pre-operative, findings like ‘onion skin’ sign on ultrasonography and ‘volcano sign’ on colonoscopy are specific for appendiceal mucocele. Primary AMN is rarely diagnosed before operation and histopathological examination. AMN can mimic ovarian tumors. Consider AMN in the differential diagnosis for any pelvic mass in elderly female patients.
Introduction Appendiceal mucinous neoplasm is a rare type of appendiceal tumors which can present in a variety of symptoms and is difficult to diagnose. Preoperative diagnosis depends mainly on diagnostic imaging such as ultrasonography and computerized tomography (CT) scan. This uncommon case report discusses an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm mimicking a left adnexal mass on presentation, physical examination and diagnostic imaging findings. Presentation of case This is a 61-year-old female found to have a large left adnexal mass during follow up ultrasonography. The patient refused further imaging, and during laparotomy, she was found to have an appendicular mucocele with normal left and right ovaries. Discussion Appendectomy was done and the final pathology came as appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. Her post-operative course and 3 years follow up were uneventful. Conclusions The equivocal signs and symptoms along with the anatomical position of appendiceal mucocele makes it difficult to diagnose and can mimic other types of tumors. Therefore, it should be considered in the deferential diagnosis of lower abdominal and pelvic masses.

Abstract
Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) is a rare peritoneal malignancy, most commonly originating from a perforated epithelial tumour of the appendix. Given its rarity, randomized controlled trials on treatment strategies are lacking, nor likely to be performed in the foreseeable future. However, many questions regarding the management of appendiceal tumours, especially when accompanied by PMP, remain unanswered. This consensus statement was initiated by members of the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) Executive Committee as part of a global advisory role in the management of uncommon peritoneal malignancies. The manuscript concerns an overview and analysis of the literature on mucinous appendiceal tumours with, or without, PMP. Recommendations are provided based on three Delphi voting rounds with GRADE-based questions amongst a panel of 80 worldwide PMP experts.

[PMID: 31839341 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2019.11.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2019] [Revised: 11/16/2019] [Accepted: 11/22/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, management, and survival of patients with appendiceal mucinous neoplasm misdiagnosed as ovarian tumor and initially treated by a gynecological oncologists. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data for 71 patients identified from January 1, 2006 to September 31, 2018 with a final pathological diagnosis of appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. All patients were diagnosed as having ovarian tumor preoperatively and initially treated at Department of Gynecological Oncology. RESULTS The median patients' age was 61 years, and the median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 16, with a complete cytoreduction score (CCR0/1) achieved in 46.47% of patients. Two patients received hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Estimated 5-year and 10-year survival was 76.7% and 53.4%, respectively. PCI and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were identified as independent predictors of poor overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Because of the high rate of ovarian metastases and the difficulty diagnosing appendiceal mucinous neoplasm preoperatively, this condition should be highlighted in gynecological oncology. Because initial surgical intervention is often performed by gynecological oncologists, updating the management guidelines for appendiceal mucinous tumor is needed because the rates of CCR0/1 resection and HIPEC are much lower in patients who are misdiagnosed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of appendiceal mucinous neoplasm that had been preoperatively misdiagnosed as a mucinous ovarian tumor and to discuss the clinical impacts of misdiagnosis. METHODS Seventy-eight patients with a final pathologic diagnosis of appendiceal mucinous neoplasm during a 10-year period were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were diagnosed with ovarian tumor before treatment. A univariate analysis was performed to evaluate predictors of the diagnostic accuracy of a frozen section. RESULTS The patients' median age was 61 years (range, 21-82 years), and most were diagnosed as low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) (84.62%). The diagnostic concordance between the frozen section and the final pathology was 56.92%. The most consistent diagnosis was LAMN (64.14%). Univariate analysis indicated that maximal diameter of the ovarian tumor (unilateral), laterality of the ovarian tumors (unilateral or bilateral), and frozen section site (appendix or extra-appendix) significantly correlated with the accuracy of frozen section diagnosis (all p < 0.05). Although the diagnostic discordance between the frozen section and the final pathology was 43.08%, only one patient was clinically impacted because of suboptimal surgery. CONCLUSION Appendiceal mucinous neoplasm should be considered as a differential diagnosis of pelvic mass in women. For patients who do not require fertility-sparing surgery, excision and frozen section of the bilateral ovaries and appendix regardless of the appearance of the appendix might improve the diagnosis. For older patients with peritoneal dissemination, appropriate cytoreductive surgery is recommended to reduce the clinical impact of misdiagnosis.

Recent Advances in Fertility Preservation and Counseling for Reproductive-Aged Women with Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review. Dis Colon Rectum 2019; 62:762-771. [PMID: 30730458 DOI: 10.1097/dcr.0000000000001351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of colorectal cancer among reproductive-aged women is increasing. Concerns regarding future fertility are secondary only to concerns regarding survival and may significantly impact quality of life among reproductive-aged female cancer survivors. Fertility preservation counseling reduces long-term regret and dissatisfaction among cancer survivors. Health care providers counseling patients with colorectal cancer must understand the impact of cancer treatment on future reproductive potential. OBJECTIVE This review aims to examine the effects that colorectal cancer treatments have on female fertility and summarize existing and emerging options for fertility preservation. DATA SOURCES EMBASE, National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE)/PubMed, Cochrane Review Library were the data sources for this review. STUDY SELECTION A systematic literature review was performed using exploded MeSH terms to identify articles examining the effect of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, as well as fertility preservation options for colorectal cancer on female fertility. Relevant studies were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the effect of colorectal cancer treatment on fertility. RESULTS There are limited data regarding the impact of colorectal surgery on fertility. The gonadotoxic effects of chemotherapy on reproductive capacity depend on age at the time of chemotherapy administration, cumulative chemotherapy, radiation dose, type of agent, and baseline fertility status. Chemotherapy-induced risks for colorectal cancers are considered low to moderate, whereas pelvic radiation with a dose of 45 to 50 Gray induces premature menopause in greater than 90% of patients. Ovarian transposition may reduce but not eliminate the damaging effect of radiation on the ovaries. Embryo and oocyte cryopreservation are considered standard of care for women desiring fertility preservation, with oocyte cryopreservation no longer being considered experimental. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation remains experimental but may be an option for select patients. The use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists remains controversial and has not been definitively shown to preserve fertility. LIMITATIONS The limitations of this review are the lack of randomized controlled trials and high-quality studies, as well as the small sample sizes and the use of surrogate fertility markers. CONCLUSION Reproductive-aged women with colorectal cancer benefit from fertility preservation counseling before the initiation of cancer treatment.

Impact of ovarian metastases on survival in patients treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal malignancy originating from appendiceal and colorectal cancer. Colorectal Dis 2018; 20:704-710. [PMID: 29502336 DOI: 10.1111/codi.14057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2017] [Accepted: 02/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
AIM Ovarian metastases from gastrointestinal tract malignancies have been considered an ominous finding with poor prognosis. The aim of this project was to determine the impact on survival, and potential cure, when cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are combined to treat peritoneal malignancy in women with Krukenberg tumours. METHOD A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data between January 2010 and July 2015. Female patients undergoing complete CRS (macroscopic tumour removal) and HIPEC for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) of appendiceal origin, or colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM) were included. Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and survival rates compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS In total, 889 patients underwent surgery for peritoneal malignancy, of whom 551 were female. Of these, 504/551 (91%) underwent complete CRS and HIPEC. Overall, 405/504 (80%) had at least one involved ovary removed either during CRS and HIPEC or at their index prereferral operation. Three hundred and fifty-two patients (87%) had an appendiceal tumour and 53 (13%) had CPM. At a median follow up of 40 months, overall survival (OS) did not differ significantly between patients with or without ovarian involvement in women with a primary low-grade appendiceal tumour or CPM. In women with high-grade primary appendiceal pathology, OS was significantly lower in patients with ovarian metastases compared with those without ovarian involvement. CONCLUSION Women with ovarian metastases from low-grade appendiceal tumours or colorectal cancer treated with CRS and HIPEC have similar survival rates to patients without ovarian metastases. Long-term survival and cure is feasible in patients amenable to complete tumour removal.
