[PMID: 38839080 PMCID: PMC11228192 DOI: 10.1136/ijgc-2024-005462] [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: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of splenectomy on cytoreductive surgery in patients with ovarian cancer remains controversial. We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and impact of survival outcome of splenectomy in patients with ovarian cancer. METHODS In this meta-analysis we analyzed studies published in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), and Clinical Trials. gov that appeared in our search from inception to November 10, 2023. RESULT This meta-analysis included 10 studies, totaling 6297 patients, comprising one prospective and nine retrospective analyses. The results indicated no significant disparity in overall survival and mortality (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.87, p=0.62) between the splenectomy cohort and the no splenectomy (required) cohort. Furthermore, relative to the no splenectomy (required) cohort, the splenectomy group showed a heightened incidence of overall post-operative complications (odds ratio (OR) 1.66, 95% CI 1.65 to 2.61, p=0.03), an extended duration of hospitalization (mean difference (MD) 2.88 days, 95% CI 2.09 to 3.67), an increased interval from surgery to the initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy (MD 4.44 days, 95% CI 2.41 to 6.07, p<0.0001), and a greater probability of undergoing reoperation (OR 4.7, 95% CI 1.91 to 11.55, p=0.0007). However, concerning the occurrence of specific post-operative complications such as anastomotic leakage (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.33 to 2.84, p=0.95), pancreatic fistula (OR 3.25, 95% CI 0.63 to 16.7, p=0.16), abdominal abscess (OR 1.75, 95% CI 0.25 to 12.33, p=0.57), sepsis (OR 1.46, 95% CI 0.77 to 2.77, p=0.25), and thrombotic events (OR 1.82, 95% CI 0.93 to 3.57, p=0.08), no significant differences were observed between the two cohorts. CONCLUSION Splenectomy does not impact the overall survival and mortality of patients with ovarian cancer. Thus, it can be considered an acceptably safe procedure to obtain optimal cytoreduction. However, caution should be taken when selecting patients for splenectomy because it is associated with an increased incidence of overall post-operative complications, prolonged hospital stays, delayed initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy, and an increased probability of requiring subsequent surgical interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Given the high response to platinum based chemotherapy in BRCA 1/2 mutated high grade serous ovarian cancers, there is uncertainty about the relative benefits of primary cytoreductive surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy in this population. We aimed to compare the survival outcomes for women with BRCA 1/2 mutated high grade serous ovarian cancers undergoing either primary cytoreductive surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all stage III/IV BRCA mutated high grade serous ovarian cancers treated with primary cytoreductive surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy at a single tertiary cancer center between 1991 and 2020. Baseline demographics, initial disease burden, surgical complexity, and survival outcomes were examined. RESULTS Of 314 women with germline or somatic BRCA mutations, 194 (62%) underwent primary cytoreductive surgery and 120 (38%) underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval cytoreductive surgery. Those undergoing primary cytoreductive surgery were younger (median age 53 years (range 47-59) vs 59 years (50-65), p<0.001), but there were no differences in functional status or underlying comorbidities. The initial disease burden was lower (disease score high (40% vs 44%; p<0.001) but surgical complexity was higher (surgical complexity score high (18% vs 3%; p<0.001) in the primary cytoreductive surgery cohort. The rate of optimal or complete cytoreduction was similar in both groups (89% vs 90%; p=0.23) as well as the rate of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor use (62% vs 68%; p=0.3). The 10 year overall survival and recurrence free survival were superior in the primary cytoreductive surgery cohort (overall survival 49% vs 25%, p<0.001 and progression free survival 25% vs 10%, p<0.001). After controlling for confounders, primary cytoreductive surgery remained a significant predictor of improved overall survival (hazard ratio (HR) 0.45; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.27 to 0.74; p=0.002) and recurrence free survival (HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.37 to 0.80; p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS Primary cytoreductive surgery was associated with improved survival in women with stage III/IV BRCA mutated high grade serous ovarian cancers compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Correlating the KELIM (CA125 elimination rate constant K) score and the chemo-response score as predictors of chemosensitivity in patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma. Gynecol Oncol 2024; 187:92-97. [PMID: 38735145 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.04.009] [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: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to assess the correlation between the pre-operative CA125 Elimination rate constant K(KELIM) score and the intraoperative chemo-response score (CRS) in patients with advanced high grade serous ovarian cancer(HGSC) treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with Stage III-IV HGSC treated with NACT from March 2010 to December 2019 at Princess Margaret Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada. KELIM scores were calculated based on the tool devised by You et al. available online. CRS was assessed using an established 3-tier scoring system. An association analysis was performed to determine if the KELIM score assessed during NACT can predict CRS score at the time of interval cytoreductive surgery(ICS). RESULTS 172 patients were included in this analysis. Patients with CRS 1-2 had a lower median Platinum Free Interval(PFI) (9.24 vs 13.64 months, p = 0.005), lower median progression free survival(PFS) (14.99 vs 20.29 months, p = 0.003) and lower 5-year overall survival(OS) (63.8% vs 69.7%, p = 0.54) compared to patients with CRS3. Among patients with CRS 1-2(n = 115), 68.7% had KELIM <1, while 56.2% of patients with CRS3 had KELIM ≥1(56.2%), p = 0.0017, suggesting a correlation between the KELIM and CRS scores. Furthermore, patients with KELIM ≥1 and CRS3 had significantly higher PFS compared to other groups(median PFS 28.27 months vs 17.66 months for KELIM ≥1/CRS 1/2; 17.13 months for KELIM <1/CRS 3; and 14.53 months for KELIM <1/CRS 1-2, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION The biochemical KELIM score correlated with the surgical pathologic CRS score and may predict pathological response to chemotherapy. This information can be utilized to tailor and personalize treatment in patients with advanced ovarian malignancy.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5230.

Abstract
BRCA mutation and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) are the criteria for the administration of PARP inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance therapy. It is known that PARPi efficacy is related to platinum sensitivity and that the latter can be demonstrated from the CA-125 elimination rate constant (KELIM). This study aims to investigate if KELIM can be another tool in the identification of patients that could be benefit from PARPi therapy. Retrospective analysis of patients with high-grade serous advanced ovarian cancer that underwent cytoreduction and was further tested for HRD status. The HRD status was tested either by myChoice HRD CDx assay or by RediScore assay. KELIM score was measured in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings with the online tool biomarker-kinetics.org. A total of 39 patients had available data for estimating both HRD status and KELIM score. When assuming KELIM as a binary index test with the value 1 as the cut-off point, the sensitivity was 0.86, 95% CI (0.64-0.97) and the specificity was 0.83, 95% CI (0.59-0.96). On the other hand, when assuming KELIM as a continuous index test, the area under the curve (AUC) was 81% and the optimal threshold, using the Youden index, was identified as 1.03 with a sensitivity of 85.7% and a specificity of 83.3%. KELIM score seems to be a new, cheaper, and faster tool to identify patients that can benefit from PARPi maintenance therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Compared to conventional computed tomography (CT), fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) detects higher rates of lymph node and distant metastases in patients with ovarian cancer. However, FDG-PET/CT is not routinely performed during preoperative work-up. Therefore, we investigated the prognostic value of preoperative FDG-PET/CT in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and its predictive value for surgical resection in patients with no residual disease. The potential significance of PET-positive supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes (SDLNs) for these parameters was evaluated. METHODS All patients with FIGO IIA-IVB EOC diagnosed between March 2014 and January 2021 at our certified gynaecological cancer centre, who underwent FDG PET/CT before primary surgery were retrospectively included. RESULTS Fifty-three consecutive patients were included in the study. Eighteen (34 %) patients had PET-positive SDLNs. We could not demonstrate a significant correlation between PET-positive SDLNs and median overall survival (OS; SDLN-positive: 58.76 months, SDLN-negative: 60.76 months; p = 0.137) or intra- or perioperative outcomes. CONCLUSIONS FDG PET/CT has a higher detection rate for SDLNs in patients with ovarian cancer than CT has, as described in the literature. Moreover, PET-positive SDLNs failed to predict intraoperative outcomes or overall survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Omentectomy is an important procedure in surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer, but the scope of omentectomy is not recommended in the guidelines. This study was performed to evaluate the benefits and risks of infragastric omentectomy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS This trial is a single center prospective study. Primary epithelial ovarian cancer patients with normal-appearing omentum were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group and underwent infracolic or infragastric omentectomy, respectively. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. This trial is registered on Chinese clinical trial registry site (ChiCTR1800018771). RESULTS A total of 106 patients meeting the inclusion criteria for ovarian cancer were included during the study period. Of these, 53 patients underwent infracolic omentectomy, whereas 53 patients received infragastric omentectomy. Multivariate analysis revealed that infragastric omentectomy could improve the detection rate of omental metastases (OR: 6.519, P = 0.005). Infragastric omentectomy improved progression-free survival significantly for those cases with higher than stage IIB disease (HR: 0.456, P = 0.041). Based on the short-term results, infragastric omentectomy did not cause more perioperative complications. CONCLUSIONS Compared with infracolic omentectomy, infragrastric omentectomy may be a more appropriate surgical procedure for stage IIB-IIIC epithelial ovarian cancer patients with normal-appearing omentum.

Abstract
(1) Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery is used in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. However, no tool can safely predict if complete cytoreduction after 3-4 cycles can be achieved. This study aims to investigate if the KELIM score can be a triage tool in the identification of patients that will be ideal candidates for interval debulking surgery (IDS). (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with high-grade serous advanced ovarian cancer that were treated in the 1st Department of Obstetrics-Gynecology, 2012-2022, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by IDS. Patient characteristics, oncological outcome and follow-up information were collected. The primary outcome was the association of the KELIM score with residual disease. (3) Results: 83 patients were categorized into two groups: Group A (51 patients) with favorable (≥1) and Group B (32 patients) with unfavorable (<1) KELIM scores. A statistically significant correlation between KELIM and residual disease (p < 0.05) exists, showing that patients with a favorable KELIM score can achieve a complete IDS. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference in overall survival (p = 0.017), but no difference was observed in progression-free survival (p = 0.13); (4) Conclusions: KELIM seems to safely triage patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and decide who will benefit from IDS.

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
One of the characteristic features of ovarian cancer is its early dissemination. Metastasis and the invasiveness of ovarian cancer are strongly dependent on the phenotypical and molecular determinants of cancer cells. Invasive cancer cells, circulating tumor cells, and cancer stem cells, which are responsible for the metastatic process, may all undergo different modes of transition, giving rise to mesenchymal, amoeboid, and redifferentiated epithelial cells. Such variability is the result of the changing needs of cancer cells, which strive to survive and colonize new organs. This would not be possible if not for the variety of migration modes adopted by the transformed cells. The most common type of metastasis in ovarian cancer is dissemination through the transcoelomic route, but transitions in ovarian cancer cells contribute greatly to hematogenous and lymphatic dissemination. This review aims to outline the transition modes of ovarian cancer cells and discuss the migratory capabilities of those cells in light of the known ovarian cancer metastasis routes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Undertreatment of ovarian cancer is common among older women. We aimed to evaluate the treatment modalities offered to older patients and their impact on overall survival (OS). METHODS The study identified 5,055 patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer and 3584 patients with advanced stage (IIIC + IV) disease from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2017. We performed comparisons of OS and ovarian cancer-specific survival (OCSS) across age groups using a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Very elderly patients (≥ 75 years old) received treatment with significantly less surgical complexity, such as no lymphadenectomy (59.7% vs. 48.6%; p < 0.001) and a lower rate of optimal debulking surgery (44.0% vs. 52.7%; p < 0.001), as well as lower rates of chemotherapy (78.2% vs. 89.4%; P<0.001) and standard treatment (70.6% vs. 85%; p < 0.001). High proportions of both very elderly and elderly patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), with no significant difference (38.7% vs. 36.2%; P = 0.212). Patients aged ≥ 75 years had significantly worse OS and OCSS. CONCLUSION With increasing age, the survival rate of women with ovarian cancer decreases significantly. Noticeably fewer ovarian cancer patients aged over 75 years receive standard treatments, and more very elderly patients are treated with NACT.

J Transl Med 2023; 21:927. [PMID: 38129848 PMCID: PMC10740240 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04774-4] [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: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND No residual disease (R0 resection) after debulking surgery is the most critical independent prognostic factor for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). There is an unmet clinical need for selecting primary or interval debulking surgery in AOC patients using existing prediction models. METHODS RNA sequencing of circulating small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) was used to discover the differential expression microRNAs (DEMs) profile between any residual disease (R0, n = 17) and no residual disease (non-R0, n = 20) in AOC patients. We further analyzed plasma samples of AOC patients collected before surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy via TaqMan qRT-PCR. The combined risk model of residual disease was developed by logistic regression analysis based on the discovery-validation sets. RESULTS Using a comprehensive plasma small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) microRNAs (miRNAs) profile in AOC, we identified and optimized a risk prediction model consisting of plasma sEVs-derived 4-miRNA and CA-125 with better performance in predicting R0 resection. Based on 360 clinical human samples, this model was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and logistic regression analysis, and it has favorable calibration and discrimination ability (AUC:0.903; sensitivity:0.897; specificity:0.910; PPV:0.926; NPV:0.871). The quantitative evaluation of Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI) and Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI) suggested that the additional predictive power of the combined model was significantly improved contrasted with CA-125 or 4-miRNA alone (NRI = 0.471, IDI = 0.538, p < 0.001; NRI = 0.122, IDI = 0.185, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Overall, we established a reliable, non-invasive, and objective detection method composed of circulating tumor-derived sEVs 4-miRNA plus CA-125 to preoperatively anticipate the high-risk AOC patients of residual disease to optimize clinical therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE In ovarian cancer, there are two main routes of metastasis, namely intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal. Their biologic background is poorly understood. Identifying molecular markers involved might enable the development of tailored therapy regimens. Moreover, no reliable markers for response to anti-angiogenic treatment with bevacizumab are yet established. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is an angiogenic growth factor, involved in lymphatic activation and is associated with tumor progression. Here, we assessed the potential of Ang-2 as a molecular marker in metastasis and treatment of ovarian cancer. METHODS In our study, quantitative and qualitative protein Ang-2 expression in tumor tissue of ovarian cancer patients was analyzed by Western blot (n = 138) and immunohistochemistry (n = 58). Further, Ang-2 levels in blood samples were quantified in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (n = 38). Expression levels of different tumor spread patterns were evaluated, and survival analyses were made. RESULTS We observed that Ang-2 expression is significantly higher in tumors with retroperitoneal dissemination (pT1a-pT3b, pN1) compared to those showing intraperitoneal tumor growth (pT3c, pN0). In addition, patients with high Ang-2 expression have significantly longer overall survival compared to patients with low Ang-2 expression. Patients with high Ang-2 expression benefit significantly from therapy with bevacizumab. CONCLUSION All in all, Ang-2 may serve as a molecular marker for patients with tumors prone to spread to lymph nodes and for patients who might benefit from bevacizumab therapy.

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
Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common women's cancer worldwide, with the highest mortality rate of any gynecologic malignancy. On a global scale, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that ovarian cancer has approximately 225,000 new cases every year with approximately 145,000 deaths. According to the National Institute of Health, Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program (SEER) database, 5-year survival for women with ovarian cancer in the United States is 49.1%. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma typically presents at an advanced stage and accounts for the majority of these cancer deaths. Given their prevalence and the lack of a reliable method for screening, early and reliable diagnosis of serous cancers is of paramount importance. Early differentiation of borderline, low and high-grade lesions can assist in surgical planning and support challenging intraoperative diagnoses. The objective of this article is to provide a review of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of serous ovarian tumors, with a specific focus on the imaging characteristics that help to preoperatively differentiate borderline, low-grade, and high-grade serous ovarian lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses among a sample of breast reconstruction patients and measure the association between these diagnoses and reconstruction-related, patient-reported outcomes. BACKGROUND The impact of psychiatric disorders in conjunction with breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and reconstruction have the potential to cause significant patient distress but remains not well understood. METHODS A retrospective review of postmastectomy breast reconstruction patients from 2007 to 2018 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center was conducted. Patient demographics, comorbidities, cancer characteristics, psychiatric diagnoses, and BREAST-Q Reconstruction Module scores (measuring satisfaction with breast, well-being of the chest, psychosocial, and sexual well-being) at postoperative years 1 to 3 were examined. Mixed-effects models and cross-sectional linear regressions were conducted to measure the effect of psychiatric diagnostic class type and number on scores. RESULTS Of 7414 total patients, 50.1% had at least 1 psychiatric diagnosis. Patients with any psychiatric diagnoses before reconstruction had significantly lower BREAST-Q scores for all domains at all time points. Anxiety (50%) and depression (27.6%) disorders were the most prevalent and had the greatest impact on BREAST-Q scores. Patients with a greater number of psychiatric diagnostic classes had significantly worse patient-reported outcomes compared with patients with no psychiatric diagnosis. Psychosocial (β: -7.29; 95% confidence interval: -8.67, -5.91), and sexual well-being (β: -7.99; 95% confidence interval: -9.57, -6.40) were most sensitive to the impact of psychiatric diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS Mental health status is associated with psychosocial and sexual well-being after breast reconstruction surgery as measured with the BREAST-Q. Future research will need to determine what interventions (eg, screening, early referral) can help improve outcomes for breast cancer patients with psychiatric disorders undergoing breast reconstruction.

Abstract
Introduction For patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, complete surgical cytoreduction remains the strongest predictor of outcome. However, identifying patients who are likely to benefit from such surgery remains elusive and to date few surgical outcome prediction tools have been validated. Here we attempted to externally validate a promising three protein signature, which had previously shown strong association with suboptimal surgical debulking (AUC 0.89, accuracy 92.8%), (Riester, M., et al., (2014)). Methods 238 high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer samples were collected from patients who participated in a large multicentre trial (ICON5). Samples were collected at the time of initial surgery and before randomisation. Surgical outcome data were collated from prospectively collected study records. Immunohistochemical scores were generated by two independent observers for the three proteins in the original signature (POSTN, CXCL14 and pSmad2/3). Predictive values were generated for individual and combination protein signatures. Results When assessed individually, none of the proteins showed any evidence of predictive affinity for suboptimal surgical outcome in our cohort (AUC POSTN 0.55, pSmad 2/3 0.53, CXCL 14 0.62). The combined signature again showed poor predictive ability with an AUC 0.58. Conclusions Despite showing original promise, when this protein signature is applied to a large external cohort, it is unable to accurately predict surgical outcomes. This could be attributed to overfitting of the original model, or differences in surgical practice between cohorts.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a machine learning (ML) algorithm to predict outcome of primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included patients with AOC undergoing PCS between January 2017 and February 2021. Using radiologic criteria, patient factors (age, CA-125, performance status, BRCA) and surgical complexity scores, we trained a random forest model to predict the dichotomous outcome of optimal cytoreduction (<1 cm) and no gross residual (RD = 0 mm) using JMP-Pro 15 (SAS). This model is available at https://ipm-ml.ccm.sickkids.ca. RESULTS One hundred and fifty-one patients underwent PCS and randomly assigned to train (n = 92), validate (n = 30), or test (n = 29) the model. The median age was 58 (27-83). Patients with suboptimal cytoreduction were more likely to have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 3-4 (11% vs. 0.75%, p = 0.004), lower albumin (38 vs. 41, p = 0.02), and higher CA125 (1126 vs. 388, p = 0.012) than patients with optimal cytoreduction (n = 133). There were no significant differences in age, histology, stage, or BRCA status between groups. The bootstrap random forest model had AUCs of 99.8% (training), 89.6%(validation), and 89.0% (test). The top five contributors were CA125, albumin, diaphragmatic disease, age, and ascites. For RD = 0 mm, the AUCs were 94.4%, 52%, and 84%, respectively. CONCLUSION Our ML algorithm demonstrated high accuracy in predicting optimal cytoreduction in patients with AOC selected for PCS and may assist decision-making.

Prognostic value and adverse events of cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in primary advanced and platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Hyperthermia 2023; 40:2165729.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The original meta-analysis of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is already outdated, owing to the latest trial results. This study aimed to clarify the efficacy and adverse events of cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC compared to conventional therapy for advanced and platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (OC). METHODS In this meta-analysis, phase II/III controlled trials regarding 'HIPEC' and 'ovarian cancer' were searched for in electronic databases from inception to March 2022. RESULTS Twenty-one studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. The pooled hazard ratio [HR] in the HIPEC group for progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.45-0.83, p = .002) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.51-0.82, p < .001) were improved in the HIPEC group compared with the non-HIPEC group. For primary advanced disease, OS and PFS were significantly increased in patients receiving interval debulking surgery + HIPEC, whereas PFS was not significantly different between primary debulking surgery (PDS) + HIPEC and PDS alone. For platinum-sensitive recurrent disease, no correlation was observed for PFS and OS between the HIPEC and non-HIPEC groups (p < .05). The incidence of procedure-related complications was higher in the HIPEC group than in the non-HIPEC group (odds ratio = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.24-3.01, p < .01). The morbidity of leukopenia, neutropenia, nausea, hypoalbuminemia, and grades III-IV electrolyte disturbance was higher in the HIPEC group than in the non-HIPEC group. However, HIPEC administration reduced the risk of intra-abdominal bleeding and constipation. CONCLUSION HIPEC-based regimens improved the clinical prognosis for primary advanced OC, whereas no significant value was elicited for recurrent OC.

Abstract
This study sought to describe and relate the factors associated with complications and delays in adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer treated with primary cytoreductive surgery. Serum from patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer scheduled for primary cytoreductive surgery were analyzed for prealbumin, 25-OH Vitamin D, intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein 2 (MCP-2), macrophage derived chemokine (MDC). Postoperative complications were identified using common terminology criteria for adverse events 4.0 and 30 day after surgery. Delays in adjuvant chemotherapy were defined as >1 week interval between surgery and initiation. Patients with postoperative complications (39.6%) were significantly older, had lower serum prealbumin levels, and higher serum IL-6 and IL-8 than those without. Univariate logistic regression found that age (OR: 1.12, 95%CI: 1.00-1.35) and IL-6 (OR: 1.02, 95%CI: 0.99-1.05) were associated with postoperative complications, whereas age remained significant after multivariate analysis (OR:1.14, 95%CI: 1.00-1.29). Patients with delays in chemotherapy exhibited greater BMI and lower 25-OH Vitamin D than those without. Multivariate analysis found that increasing levels of 25-OH Vitamin D were associated with a lower risk of delayed chemotherapy initiation after controlling for age, body mass index, and tumor grade (OR: 0.93, 95%CI:0.87-0.99). This work suggests that in addition to age being predictive of postoperative complications, serum 25-OH Vitamin D may a provide insight into a patient's risk for postsurgical delays in chemotherapy initiation. These findings should, however, be confirmed in a larger study including robust survival analysis.

Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and HIPEC for Advanced Ovarian Cancer with Peritoneal Metastases: Italian PSM Oncoteam Evidence and Study Purposes. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14236010. [PMID: 36497490 PMCID: PMC9740463 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14236010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
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
Fewer than half of all patients with advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSCs) survive more than five years after diagnosis, but those who have an exceptionally long survival could provide insights into tumor biology and therapeutic approaches. We analyzed 60 patients with advanced-stage HGSC who survived more than 10 years after diagnosis using whole-genome sequencing, transcriptome and methylome profiling of their primary tumor samples, comparing this data to 66 short- or moderate-term survivors. Tumors of long-term survivors were more likely to have multiple alterations in genes associated with DNA repair and more frequent somatic variants resulting in an increased predicted neoantigen load. Patients clustered into survival groups based on genomic and immune cell signatures, including three subsets of patients with BRCA1 alterations with distinctly different outcomes. Specific combinations of germline and somatic gene alterations, tumor cell phenotypes and differential immune responses appear to contribute to long-term survival in HGSC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to evaluate the quality of surgical treatment of ovarian cancer patients and assess the impact of adequate surgical oncological treatment on disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS this is an observational, retrospective study with quantitative analysis, with the collection of data in medical records of a temporal convenience sample of patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer admitted to a High Complexity Oncology Unit, in Belo Horizonte, from the period of 2014 to 2020. RESULTS a total of 91 patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer were evaluated, with the epithelial histopathological type being the most frequent (85%). Of this total, 68 patients (74.7%) had advanced-stage ovarian cancer. Appropriate surgical treatment was performed in 30.9% of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer and the type of performed surgery was statistically significant for overall survival. This low proportion of appropriate surgical oncological treatment was not related to surgical specially or surgeon competence, but mainly to advanced disease related to patient flow at UNACON. It was not possible to confirm if the advanced-stage disease was related to tumor biology or losing time from diagnosis to oncological surgery. CONCLUSION overall survival of advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer patients is directly influenced by appropriate surgical treatment, however, in this study, the percentage of advanced ovarian cancer receiving adequate surgical treatment was much lower than the rates reported in the literature. To improve these outcomes, we believe that surgeons should keep following patients during neoadjuvant chemotherapy to point to a better time for surgery, and clinical oncologists should better consider adequate oncological surgery as one of the pillars of ovarian cancer treatment and get more involved in facilitating surgeries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Determining whether cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is feasible in patients with advanced ovarian cancer and whether extensive surgery is justified is challenging. Accurate patient selection for CRS based on pre- and peroperative parameters will be valuable. The aim of this study is to assess the association between the extent of peritoneal metastases as determined during surgery and completeness of interval CRS and survival. METHODS This single-center observational cohort study included consecutive patients with newly diagnosed stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and underwent interval CRS. The 7 Region Count (7RC) was recorded during surgical exploration to systematically quantify the extent of peritoneal metastases. Logistic regression analysis was performed to predict surgical outcomes, and Cox regression analysis was done for survival outcomes. RESULTS A total of 316 patients were included for analyses. The median 7RC was 4 (interquartile range: 2-6). Complete CRS was performed in 58%, optimal CRS in 30%, and incomplete CRS in 12% of patients. A higher 7RC was independently associated with lower odds of complete or optimal CRS in multivariable analysis (odds ratio [OR] = 0.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.33-0.63, p < 0.001). Similarly, a higher 7RC was independently associated with worse progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.17, 95% CI 1.08-1.26, p < 0.001) and overall survival (HR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.04-1.25, p = 0.007). CONCLUSION The extent of peritoneal metastases, as expressed by the 7RC during surgery, is an independent predictor for completeness of CRS and has independent prognostic value for progression-free survival and overall survival in addition to completeness of CRS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether peritoneal disease extent can predict the survival benefit of intraperitoneal/intravenous (IP/IV) chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. DESIGN A treatment-free survival (TFS) analysis. SETTING Five-centre trial. POPULATION An extended follow-up of the Additional Intraperitoneal Cisplatin and Etoposide in ovarian cancer (AICE) trial (NCT01669226), with data cut-off on 27 August 2020. Patients were categorised into subgroups with high tumour burden (HTB) and low tumour burden (LTB). METHODS Overall survival (OS) was divided into time on protocol treatment exposure (T), time free of subsequent treatment or death (TFS) and time after the first subsequent therapy (REL). TFS analyses and quality-adjusted OS were calculated by multiplying the mean time in each health state by its assigned utility: quality-adjusted OS = ut × T + TFS + urel × REL. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The area under each Kaplan-Meier curve was estimated using the 96-month restricted mean time, with threshold utility analyses used to illustrate quality-adjusted OS comparisons. RESULTS In the HTB subgroup, the restricted mean TFS was 33.9 months and 18.7 months in the IP/IV and IV groups, respectively (p = 0.005), with a significant quality-adjusted OS gain (13.2-16.0 months). In the LTB subgroup, IP/IV therapy yielded no survival benefit in either TFS (p = 0.268) or quality-adjusted OS (range: 1.4-6.3 months). CONCLUSIONS Both TFS and quality-adjusted OS was longer across all utility weight values with IP/IV than with standard IV therapy in the HTB subgroup, whereas patients in the LTB subgroup did not benefit from the therapy. The tumour burden of ovarian cancer should be assessed before deciding on IP/IV versus IV treatment.

Abstract
Fluorescence-guided surgery has emerged as a promising imaging technique for real-time intraoperative tumour delineation and visualisation of submillimetre tumour masses in cytoreductive surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Researchers have developed several EOC-targeted fluorescent probes, most of which are currently in the preclinical stage. Interestingly, imaging devices designed for open surgery are proof of concept. This review summarises the recent advances in EOC-targeted fluorescent probes and open-field fluorescence imaging strategies and discusses the challenges and potential solutions for clinical translation.

Validation of the KELIM score as a predictor of response to neoadjuvant treatment in patients with advanced high grade serous ovarian cancer. Gynecol Oncol 2022; 167:417-422. [PMID: 37191644 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2022.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to externally validate the KELIM (rate of elimination of CA-125 elimation) score in patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer(HGSC)undergoing NACT and determine its relation to outcome of cytoreduction, platinum sensitivity, progression free(PFS) and overall survival(OS). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with Stage III-IV HGSC diagnosed between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019 and treated with NACT. KELIM score was calculated using at least 3 CA-125 values within the first 100 days of chemotherapy. Demographic parameters were collected and Kaplan Meier survival analyses were performed for PFS and OS. This study was approved by local ethics board. RESULTS 217 patients met inclusion criteria. Median follow-up was 28.93 months(range 2.86-135.06). There was no significant difference in stage, functional status, cytoreductive outcome or BRCA status(germline or somatic) between patients with a KELIM ≥ 1 and <1. Patients with a KELIM<1 had a lower median PFS (13.58 vs 19.69, p < 0.001), median platinum free interval(PFI) (7.66 vs 13.64, p < 0.001) and 5-year OS (57% vs 72%, p = 0.0140) compared to patients with KELIM≥1 . After adjusting for stage, treatment delays, bevacizumab or poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase(parp)-inhibitor use, and BRCA status, patients with KELIM<1 had a high risk of disease progression(HR = 1.57 (95% CI 1.08-2.28) and death(HR = 1.99 (95% CI 1.01-3.95) compared to KELIM≥1. BRCA status was independently associated to an increase on KELIM score (OR = 1.917, 95% CI 1.046-3.512, p = 0.035). CONCLUSION Patients with advanced HGSC undergoing NACT with a KELIM <1 were more likely to have platinum-resistant disease, worse PFS and worse OS when compared to patients with KELIM≥1. The KELIM score can be a helpful tool to predict chemo-response and aid in treatment decision making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer among women and the leading cause of death in women with gynaecological malignancies. Opinions differ regarding the role of ultra-radical (extensive) cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer treatment. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and morbidity associated with ultra-radical/extensive surgery in the management of advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. SEARCH METHODS We searched CENTRAL (2021, Issue 11), MEDLINE Ovid and Embase Ovid up to November 2021. We also searched registers of clinical trials, abstracts of scientific meetings, reference lists of included studies and contacted experts in the field. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or non-randomised studies (NRS), analysed using multivariate methods, that compared ultra-radical/extensive and standard surgery in women with advanced primary epithelial ovarian cancer. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed whether potentially relevant studies met the inclusion criteria, abstracted data and assessed the risk of bias. We identified three NRS and conducted meta-analyses where possible. MAIN RESULTS We identified three retrospective observational studies for inclusion in the review. Two studies included women exclusively undergoing upfront primary debulking surgery (PDS) and the other study including both PDS and interval debulking surgical (IDS) procedures. All studies were at critical risk of bias due to retrospective and non-randomised study designs. Meta-analysis of two studies, assessing 397 participants, found that women who underwent radical procedures, as part of PDS, may have a lower risk of mortality compared to women who underwent standard surgery (adjusted HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.82; I2 = 0%; very low-certainty evidence), but the evidence is very uncertain. The results were robust to a sensitivity analysis including women with more-extensive disease (carcinomatosis) (adjusted HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.85; I2 = 0%; n = 283, very low-certainty evidence), but the evidence is very uncertain. One study reported a comparison of radical versus standard surgical procedures associated with both PDS and IDS procedures, but a multivariate analysis was only undertaken for disease-free survival (DFS) and therefore the certainty of the evidence was not assessable for overall survival (OS) and remains very low. The lack of reporting of OS meant the study was at high risk of bias for selective reporting of outcomes. One study, 203 participants, found that women who underwent radical procedures as part of PDS may have a lower risk of disease progression or death compared to women who underwent standard surgery (adjusted HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.42 to 0.92; very low-certainty evidence), but the evidence is very uncertain. The results were robust to a sensitivity analysis in one study including women with carcinomatosis (adjusted HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.82; n = 139; very low-certainty evidence), but the evidence is very uncertain. A combined analysis in one study found that women who underwent radical procedures (using both PDS and IDS) may have an increased chance of disease progression or death than those who received standard surgery (adjusted HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.11 to 2.31; I2 = 0%; n = 527; very low-certainty evidence), but the evidence is very uncertain. In absolute and unadjusted terms, the DFS was 19.3 months in the standard surgery group, 15.8 in the PDS group and 15.9 months in the IDS group. All studies were at critical risk of bias and we only identified very low-certainty evidence for all outcomes reported in the review. Perioperative mortality, adverse events and quality of life (QoL) outcomes were either not reported or inadequately reported in the included studies. Two studies reported perioperative mortality (death within 30 days of surgery), but they did not use any statistical adjustment. In total, there were only four deaths within 30 days of surgery in both studies. All were observed in the standard surgery group, but we did not report a risk ratio (RR) to avoid potentially misleading results with so few deaths and very low-certainty evidence. Similarly, one study reported postoperative morbidity, but the authors did not use any statistical adjustment. Postoperative morbidity occurred more commonly in women who received ultra-radical surgery compared to standard surgery, but the certainty of the evidence was very low. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS We found only very low-certainty evidence comparing ultra-radical surgery and standard surgery in women with advanced ovarian cancer. The evidence was limited to retrospective, NRSs and so is at critical risk of bias. The results may suggest that ultra-radical surgery could result in improved OS, but results are based on very few women who were chosen to undergo each intervention, rather than a randomised study and intention-to-treat analysis, and so the evidence is very uncertain. Results for progression/DFS were inconsistent and evidence was sparse. QoL and morbidity was incompletely or not reported in the three included studies. A separate prognostic review assessing residual disease as a prognostic factor in this area has been addressed elsewhere, which demonstrates the prognostic effect of macroscopic debulking to no macroscopic residual disease. In order to aid existing guidelines, the role of ultra-radical surgery in the management of advanced-stage ovarian cancer could be addressed through the conduct of a sufficiently powered, RCT comparing ultra-radical and standard surgery, or well-designed NRSs, if this is not possible.

Clinical outcomes of immunohistochemistry of the p53 Staining pattern in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. Obstet Gynecol Sci 2022; 65:459-467. [PMID: 35903943 PMCID: PMC9483669 DOI: 10.5468/ogs.22102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate the prevalence of p53 mutations and associated factors between immunohistochemistry (IHC) and p53 staining patterns among patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). Methods This study is a retrospective review. A total of 62 patients with HGSOC underwent surgery at Srinagarind Hospital between January 2016 and December 2020. Histological examination was performed based on a combination of morphology and IHC staining with p53. The p53 immunostaining pattern was interpreted as a missense mutation, nonsense mutation, or a wild-type pattern. Missense (p53 overexpression pattern) and nonsense (null expression p53 pattern) mutations were considered p53 mutations. A wild-type pattern was defined as a p53 non-mutation. Results p53 mutations were identified in 93.6% of the patients. Subgroup analysis of the p53 mutation group between the p53 overexpression pattern and the p53 null expression pattern in terms of clinicopathological characteristics and initial treatment was performed. Patients with the p53 overexpression pattern had significantly more omental metastases than those with the p53 null expression pattern (87.8% vs. 64.7%, P=0.042). There were no statistically significant differences in median progression-free survival (PFS) (9 vs. 10 months, P=0.813) or median overall survival (OS) (12 vs. 17 months, P=0.526) between the two groups. Conclusion The prevalence of p53 mutations in HGSOC patients in this study was 93.6%. Omental metastasis is a significant pathological factor in predicting overexpression p53 pattern in HGSC. However, IHC analysis of the p53 staining pattern did not affect OS or PFS among patients with HGSOC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Total parietal peritonectomy (TPP) is a surgical procedure used for complete resection of microscopic peritoneal dissemination. This study analyzed the perioperative complications that developed when omitting systematic lymphadenectomy from TPP. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed perioperative complications in epithelial ovarian cancer patients with stage IIIB-IVB who underwent TPP during primary and interval cytoreductive surgeries between April 2018 and October 2021. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were enrolled in the study. The median patient age was 62 years. Of 31 patients (94%) with stage IIIC/IV disease, 24 (73%) had high-grade serous carcinoma. The median operative time and blood loss were 447 min and 2,831 ml, respectively. Complete tumor resection was performed in 30 patients (91%). Only five patients underwent partial lymphadenectomy for clinical metastatic lymph nodes. Further, grade 3 complications were observed in seven (21%) patients, and there were no fatal events in this study. Three patients (9%) had ureteric injuries, which was the most frequent complication in this study. Only one patient developed an intra-abdominal infection due to ascites. In this case, partial para-aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomies were performed. CONCLUSION TPP without systematic lymphadenectomy reduces the frequency of perioperative complications associated with ascites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The survival benefit of monitoring CA125 in ovarian cancer patients after primary treatment is debated due to findings varying from insignificant survival differences to prolonged median overall survival in favor of asymptomatic patients. Hence we aimed to compare ovarian cancer patients with and without symptoms at the time of the first diagnosed recurrence in terms of post-recurrence survival and overall survival, and to explore time to recurrence and common symptoms at recurrence. METHODS We included 421 women with ovarian cancer from a prospective multi-institutional Norwegian study of first recurrence of gynecological cancer over the period from March 2012 to April 2016. Patients were interviewed by clinicians at participating hospitals, and patient reported and clinical variables were recorded in a standardized questionnaire. The Kaplan-Meier method and the multivariate Cox model were used to evaluate post-recurrence survival and overall survival. RESULTS Of the 406 patients included, 183 (45%) patients were diagnosed with asymptomatic recurrence, and 223 (55%) patients had symptoms at recurrence. Asymptomatic patients had their recurrence detected 2 months later than symptomatic patients (14 vs 12 months, respectively, p=0.17). Median post-recurrence survival was significantly longer in asymptomatic patients compared with patients with symptoms at recurrence (33.9 vs 26.2 months, respectively, p=0.002). The post-recurrence survival rate remained higher for symptomatic patients in the adjusted analysis (hazard ratio (HR)=1.42, p=0.001). Median overall survival was 47.8 months for asymptomatic patients versus 44.0 months for symptomatic patients in the unadjusted analyses (p=0.056). Asymptomatic patients had a significantly longer survival in the adjusted analysis (HR=1.24, p=0.046). Pain was the most common symptom at recurrence (54%). CONCLUSION Patients with asymptomatic recurrence had a better prognosis based on post-recurrence data and the multivariate Cox regression analysis of overall survival. However, a closer exploration of differences in development of recurrence is needed as these results may give rise to more individualized follow-up for ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
(1) Background: A complete tumor resection during primary cytoreductive surgery has been reported to be the most important and perhaps the only independent prognostic factor in advanced ovarian cancers. The goal of complete cytoreduction needs to be weighed against the potential morbidities and long-term survival outcomes. (2) Methods: in this retrospective analysis of a prospectively obtained database, 208 consecutive patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent a conventional primary cytoreductive surgery (150 patients) or TROMP technique (58 patients) were included. Progression-free and overall survival rates were calculated using Kaplan–Meier analysis as well as the 95% confidence interval of the hazard ratio between treatment groups. (3) Results: After a median follow-up phase of more than 3 years (range 1–72 months), there are no statistically significant differences between both groups in progression-free and overall survival rates. Albeit, the TROMP group included statistically significant more advanced-stage cases compared to the conventional surgery group. (4) Conclusions: the TROMP technique is a promising tool for successful primary cytoreductive surgery in a selected group of patients with high tumor burdens in order to achieve optimal surgical results and survival outcomes without introducing any additional risks or complications.

Abstract
Primary debulking surgery (PDS) has remained the only treatment of ovarian cancer with survival advantage since its development in the 1970s. However, survival advantage is only observed in patients who are optimally resected. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has emerged as an alternative for patients in whom optimal resection is unlikely and/or patients with comorbidities at high risk for perioperative complications. The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence to date for PDS and NACT in the treatment of stage III/IV ovarian carcinoma. We systematically searched the PubMed database for relevant articles. Prior to 2010, NACT was reserved for non-surgical candidates. After publication of EORTC 55971, the first randomized trial demonstrating non-inferiority of NACT followed by interval debulking surgery, NACT was considered in a wider breadth of patients. Since EORTC 55971, 3 randomized trials—CHORUS, JCOG0602, and SCORPION—have studied NACT versus PDS. While CHORUS supported EORTC 55971, JCOG0602 failed to demonstrate non-inferiority and SCORPION failed to demonstrate superiority of NACT. Despite conflicting data, a subset of patients would benefit from NACT while preserving survival including poor surgical candidates and inoperable disease. Further randomized trials are needed to assess the role of NACT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to report the final analysis of a phase 2 trial assessing the efficacy and safety of short-course hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). METHODS this was an open-label, multicenter, single-arm trial of HIPEC in patients with advanced EOC who underwent interval cytoreductive surgery (iCRS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). HIPEC was performed as a concentration-based regimen of platinum-based chemotherapy for 30 minutes. Primary endpoint was the rate of disease progression occurring at nine months following iCRS plus HIPEC (PD9). Secondary endpoints were postoperative complications, time to start adjuvant chemotherapy, length of hospital and ICU stay, quality of life (QoL) over treatment, and ultimately 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Analysis was by intention-to-treat with final database lock for survival outcomes on February 23, 2021. RESULTS fifteen patients with stage III EOC were enrolled between February 2015 and July 2019, in four centers. The intention to treat PD9 was 6.7%. With a median follow-up of 33 months (IQR, 24.3-46.5), the median PFS was 18.1 months and corresponding 2-year rates of PFS and OS was 33.3% and 93.3%, respectively. Three patients (20%) experienced graded III complications. Median length of hospital and ICU stay was 5 (IQR, 4-6.5) and 1 (IQR, 1-1) days, respectively. Time to restart systemic chemotherapy was 39 (IQR, 35-49.3) days and no significant difference over time in QoL was observed. CONCLUSIONS we demonstrate preliminary efficacy and safety of short-course HIPEC in patient with advanced EOC.

Abstract
Background Several studies have shown that whether complete tumor resection can be achieved during debulking surgery depends on various patient-related factors. However, none of these studies was conducted among patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we aimed to determine the preoperative predictors of optimal tumor resectability (OTR) during primary debulking surgery (PDS) in patients with EOC. Methodology In this study, we reviewed all patients with histologically diagnosed EOC who underwent PDS between January 2011 and December 2020. We included 83 patients with complete clinical records for subsequent data analysis. Descriptive statistics were computed for patients’ data, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the strength of associations between patients’ preoperative characteristics and OTR. Results The overall rate of OTR was 53.0%, while the rate in advanced EOC patients was 36.1%. In the univariate analyses, pleural effusion, ascites, tumor bilaterality, size of the largest tumor, retroperitoneal lymph nodes, omental caking, peritoneal thickening, significant extrapelvic tumor, serum cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) levels, and hemoglobin levels were recorded as the predictors of OTR. However, after adjusting for covariates in the final multivariate models, we found that the absence of moderate-to-large pleural effusion (odds ratio (OR) = 5.60; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.32, 23.71) and having serum CA-125 levels of ≤370 U/mL (OR = 6.80; 95% CI = 1.19, 38.79) were the overall independent predictors of OTR while not having any preexisting comorbidity (OR = 18.21; 95% CI = 2.40, 38.10), and the absence of pleural effusions (OR = 13.75; 95% CI = 1.80, 24.85) or enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes (OR = 11.95; 95% CI = 1.35, 16.07) were predictors of OTR in advanced EOC patients. Conclusions We demonstrated that the radiological absence of pleural effusions and enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes and having no preexisting medical morbidity and serum CA-125 levels of ≤370 U/mL were the independent predictors of OTR during PDS. The preliminary data generated from this study can be used to develop variables for a prediction model in a future validation study.

Abstract
RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a qualidade do tratamento cirúrgico de pacientes com câncer de ovário e o impacto do tratamento oncológico cirúrgico adequado na sobrevida livre de doença e sobrevida global de pacientes com câncer de ovário epitelial avançado. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, retrospectivo, de análise quantitativo, com coleta de dados em prontuários de uma amostra de conveniência temporal de pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer de ovário internadas em uma Unidade de Oncologia de Alta Complexidade (UNACON), em Belo Horizonte, no período de 2014 a 2020. Resultados: foram avaliadas 91 pacientes diagnosticadas com câncer de ovário, sendo o tipo histopatológico epitelial o mais frequente (85%). Desse total, 68 pacientes (74,7%) apresentavam câncer de ovário em estágio avançado. O tratamento cirúrgico adequado foi realizado em 30,9% das pacientes com câncer de ovário epitelial avançado e o tipo de cirurgia realizada foi estatisticamente significativo para a sobrevida global. Essa baixa proporção de tratamento cirúrgico oncológico adequado não esteve relacionada à especialidade cirúrgica ou competência do cirurgião, mas principalmente à doença avançada relacionada ao fluxo de pacientes na UNACON. Não foi possível confirmar se a doença em estágio avançado estava relacionada à biologia tumoral ou à perda de tempo do diagnóstico para a cirurgia oncológica. Conclusão: A sobrevida global de pacientes com câncer de ovário epitelial em estágio avançado é diretamente influenciada pelo tratamento cirúrgico adequado. Porém, o percentual de câncer de ovário avançado recebendo tratamento cirúrgico adequado foi muito inferior aos índices relatados na literatura. Para melhorar esses resultados, acreditamos que os cirurgiões devem continuar acompanhando as pacientes durante a quimioterapia neoadjuvante para apontar um melhor momento para a cirurgia, e os oncologistas clínicos devem considerar melhor a cirurgia oncológica adequada como um dos pilares do tratamento do câncer de ovário e se envolver mais na facilitação das cirurgias.

Abstract
Objective The current investigation analyzes the prognostic role of the time to chemotherapy (TTC) interval following primary cytoreductive surgery for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods Characteristics and outcome data for 509 consecutive patients with stage IIIB–IVB ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer who had primary cytoreductive surgery between January 2000 and December 2019 are utilized. A univariate Cox regression determined the association of categorical variables with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Significant variables (p≤0.05) on univariate analysis were applied to Cox proportional hazard regression. Results The median TTC was 19 days and overall follow-up was 62.2 months. The PFS and OS were 25.5 months and 78.4 months for the study cohort plus 28.4 months and OS 84.5 months for patients rendered grossly disease-free. An early TTC (7–14 vs. 15–21 vs. 22–28 vs. >28 days) was associated with an improved PFS (41.7 vs. 30.6 vs. 18.9 vs. 17.9 months; p<0.001) and OS (132.7 vs. 104.6 vs. 56.5 vs. 48.0 months; p<0.001). The performance status, histology, disease distribution, dimension of residual disease, and categorical plus continuous TTC were predictors of PFS and OS. The use of maintenance therapy was also a predictor of PFS, and the route of chemotherapy administration was a predictor of OS. Conclusions For advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, a TTC of less than 21-days was observed to independently improve the PFS and OS. A 7–14 days TTC trended towards a further extension of the OS. Chemotherapy was administered as early as possible after extensive primary cytoreductive surgery for patients with stage IIIB-IV epithelial ovarian cancer. Early time to chemotherapy improved survival. Complete recovery from surgery before chemotherapy is not essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is an important treatment option for patients with ovarian cancer. Although intravenous NACT can improve optimal resection rates and decrease surgical morbidity and mortality, these advantages do not translate into a survival benefit. Ovarian carcinoma is mainly confined to the peritoneal cavity, which makes it a potential target for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Our previous study showed that HIPEC could be used in the neoadjuvant setting, which was named neoadjuvant HIPEC (NHIPEC). Since hyperthermia is an excellent chemosensitiser, we hypothesised that the combination of NHIPEC and intravenous NACT could show superior efficacy to intravenous NACT alone. METHODS This study is a single-centre, open-label, randomised (1:1 allocation ratio) phase 2 trial. A total of 80 patients will be randomly assigned into an experimental group (NHIPEC+intravenous NACT) or a control group (intravenous NACT). Patients in the experimental group will receive NHIPEC following laparoscopic evaluation, and four tubes will be placed via the laparoscopic ports, which will be used to administer NHIPEC. Then, perfusion with docetaxel (60-75 mg/m2) will be performed (43°C for 60 min, Day 0) followed by cisplatin (75 mg/m2, Day 1) infusion (43°C for 60 min) 24 hours later. After NHIPEC, two cycles of intravenous NACT will be given. Patients in the control group will receive three cycles of intravenous NACT. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who achieve a Chemotherapy Response Score (CRS) of 3 according to the CRS system. The secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall survival and the rates of complete resection and NHIPEC-related adverse events. ETHICS APPROVAL AND DISSEMINATION This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital (approval number: 2020-ky-050). Results will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2000038173.

Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:726278. [PMID: 34867330 PMCID: PMC8636101 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.726278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: Anti-angiogenesis agents have been added as maintenance therapy in ovarian cancer over the past decade. The aim of this meta-analysis was to analyze the efficacy of anti-angiogenesis therapy in newly diagnosed and relapsed ovarian cancer. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for all phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the efficacy and toxicity of anti-angiogenesis agents in ovarian cancer. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-angiogenesis therapy in ovarian cancer. Results: A total of 6097 patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer from 5 phase III RCTs and 2943 patients with relapsed ovarian cancer from 6 phase III RCTs were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that anti-angiogenesis maintenance therapy significantly improved PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76-0.93; p = 0.001), but not OS (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.91-1.05; p = 0.49) compared with placebo in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer. In patients with relapsed ovarian cancer, the pooled results showed a significant improvement on OS (HR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.82-0.98; p = 0.02) and PFS (HR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.52-0.72; p < 0.001). The pooled results also showed that the anti-angiogenesis agents were associated with an increase in the occurrence of severe hypertension, neutropenia, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, headache, and bleeding in ovarian cancer. However, infrequent fatal adverse events occurred in the anti-angiogenesis groups. Conclusions: Study results suggest that anti-angiogenesis agents were an effective therapy for newly diagnosed and relapsed ovarian cancer, especially for relapsed ovarian cancer. Anti-angiogenesis agents may be associated with some severe but not fatal adverse events. Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42021283647.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate quality of life (QoL) and association with surgical complexity and disease burden after surgical resection for advanced ovarian cancer in centres with variation in surgical approach DESIGN: Prospective multicentre observational study SETTING: United Kingdom, Kolkata, India, and Melbourne, Australia gynaecological cancer surgery centres. PARTICIPANTS Patients undergoing surgical resection for late stage ovarian cancer. Exposure Low, intermediate or high Surgical Complexity Score (SCS) surgery MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Primary: EORTC-QLQ-C30 Global score change. Secondary: EORTC OV28, progression free survival. RESULTS Patients' pre-operative disease burden and SCS varied between centres, confirming differences in surgical ethos. QoL response rates were 90% up to 18 months. Mean change from the pre-surgical baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 was 3.4 (SD 1.8, n=88) in the low, 4.0 (SD 2.1, n=55) in the intermediate and 4.3 (SD 2.1, n=52) in the high SCS group after 6 weeks (p=0.048) and 4.3 (SD 2.1, n=51), 5.1 (SD 2.2, n=41) and 5.1 (SD 2.2, n=35) respectively after 12 months (p=0.133). In a repeated measures model, there were no clinically or statistically meaningful differences in EORTC QLQ-C30 global scores between the three SCS groups, p= 0.840 but there was a small statistically significant improvement in all groups over time (p<0.001). The high SCS group experienced small to moderate decreases in physical (p=0.004), role (p=0.016) and emotional (p=0.001) function at 6 weeks post-surgery which resolved by 6-12 months. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Global QoL of patients undergoing low, intermediate, and high SCS surgery improved at 12 months post operation and was no worse in patients undergoing extensive surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is essential in the management of ovarian cancers to identify the patients who will benefit from primary complete cytoreductive surgery and those who will rather benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative inflammatory markers, i.e. platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), and serum CA125 level for surgical outcome in epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out in Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. A total of 54 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent primary exploratory laparotomy from January 2018 to November 2019 was recruited. Data about clinical characteristics, preoperative inflammatory markers, serum CA125 level, and surgical outcome (optimal vs. suboptimal) was collected from the medical records. Predictive value of the markers were evaluated using ROC curve to determine their accuracy (area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value). RESULTS Mean age, parity, and tumor size did not differ between the study groups (p> 0.05). The group with suboptimal outcome had significantly higher PLR, NLR, MLR, and RDW value (p< 0.05). Using the ROC curve, a cut off value was determined for each predictor, i.e. PLR: 196.50, NLR: 3.34, MLR: 0.24, RDW: 13.19, CA125: 300.85. AUC for each predictor were as follows: PLR 0.718 (95% CI: 0.578-0.859), NLR 0.676 (95% CI: 0.529-0.823), MLR 0.700 (95% CI: 0.560-0.839), RDW 0.712 (95% CI: 0.572-0.852), CA125 0.593 (95% CI: 0.436-0.750). Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for predicting suboptimal outcome were as follows: PLR (74.2%, 69.6%, 72.2%), NLR (64.5%, 60.9%, 62.9%), MLR (74.2%, 59.1%, 66.7%), RDW (74.2%, 60.9%, 68.5%), CA125 (54.8%, 60.9%, 57.4%). We have some limitations such as small numbers of sample, we generalized whole kinds of ovarian cancer, and this study does not describe follow-up features. CONCLUSION Preoperative serum inflammatory markers (PLR, MLR, and RDW) may serve as useful markers to predict the surgical outcome with fair accuracy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.

Caseinolytic protease P (CLPP) activated by ONC201 inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis in human epithelial ovarian cancer cells by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Background Caseinolytic protease P (CLPP) is a mitochondrial specific protein which has been reported to be related to tumor cell apoptosis. This study aims to explore the roles of CLPP in human epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods We determined CLPP expression in paracancerous tissues and cancer tissues obtained from 20 EOC patients, and also in 4 EOC cell lines, and one normal ovarian cell line (IOSE-80). We knocked CLPP expression down in SK-OV-3 and A2780 cells and overexpressed it in SW626 and OVcar3 cells. The effect of CLPP expression on cell proliferation, mitochondrial membrane potential, and apoptosis was then assessed by flow cytometry assay. Furthermore, the effect of ONC201 (agonist of CLPP) on the EOC cell lines was also investigated. Results The CLPP expression was markedly down-regulated in EOC cancer tissues, and the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database revealed its low expression was linked to poor prognosis in EOC patients. Low expression of CLPP up-regulated the expression of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A12 (NDUFA12), succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A (SDHA), and succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B (SDHB), which are key members of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, and these up-regulated proteins further led to the increase of mitochondrial membrane potential, cell proliferation promotion and neoplasm metastasis. Conversely, while overexpression of CLPP led to the opposite results, including inducing the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis. In addition, stimulation with ONC201 enhanced the function of CLPP in SW626 and OVcar3 cells, and silencing of CLPP could neutralize the effect of ONC201. Conclusions Our findings suggest that CLPP mediated mitochondrial dysfunction inhibits the proliferation and migration of EOC cells.

Abstract
Introduction Accurate prediction of patient prognosis can be especially useful for the selection of best treatment protocols. Machine Learning can serve this purpose by making predictions based upon generalizable clinical patterns embedded within learning datasets. We designed a study to support the feature selection for the 2-year prognostic period and compared the performance of several Machine Learning prediction algorithms for accurate 2-year prognosis estimation in advanced-stage high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients. Methods The prognosis estimation was formulated as a binary classification problem. Dataset was split into training and test cohorts with repeated random sampling until there was no significant difference (p = 0.20) between the two cohorts. A ten-fold cross-validation was applied. Various state-of-the-art supervised classifiers were used. For feature selection, in addition to the exhaustive search for the best combination of features, we used the-chi square test of independence and the MRMR method. Results Two hundred nine patients were identified. The model's mean prediction accuracy reached 73%. We demonstrated that Support-Vector-Machine and Ensemble Subspace Discriminant algorithms outperformed Logistic Regression in accuracy indices. The probability of achieving a cancer-free state was maximised with a combination of primary cytoreduction, good performance status and maximal surgical effort (AUC 0.63). Standard chemotherapy, performance status, tumour load and residual disease were consistently predictive of the mid-term overall survival (AUC 0.63–0.66). The model recall and precision were greater than 80%. Conclusion Machine Learning appears to be promising for accurate prognosis estimation. Appropriate feature selection is required when building an HGSOC model for 2-year prognosis prediction. We provide evidence as to what combination of prognosticators leads to the largest impact on the HGSOC 2-year prognosis.

Total Colectomy as a Part of Ultra-Radical Surgery for Ovarian Cancer-Short- and Long-Term Outcomes. Curr Oncol 2021; 28:4223-4233. [PMID: 34677276 PMCID: PMC8534540 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol28050358] [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: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes for patients who underwent total colectomy (TC) as a part of surgery for ovarian cancer (OC). (2) Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 1636 OC patients. Residual disease (RD) was reported using Sugarbaker’s completeness of cytoreduction score. (3) Results: Forty-two patients underwent TC during primary debulking surgery (PDS), and four and ten patients underwent TC during the interval debulking surgery (IDS) and secondary cytoreduction, respectively. The median overall survival (mOS) in OC patients following the PDS was 45.1 months in those with CC-0 (21%) resection, 11.1 months in those with CC-1 (45%) resection and 20.0 months in those with CC-2 (33%) resection (p = 0.28). Severe adverse events were reported in 18 patients (43%). In the IDS group, two patients survived more than 2 years after IDS and one patient died after 28.6 months. In the recurrent OC group, the mOS was 6.9 months. Patient age above 65 years was associated with a shortened overall survival (OS) and the presence of adverse events. (4) Conclusions: TC as a part of ultra-radical surgery for advanced OC results in high rates of optimal debulking. However, survival benefits were observed only in patients with no macroscopic disease.

Abstract
High-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary is a deadly gynecological cancer with poor long-term survival. Dysregulation of microRNAs has been shown to contribute to the formation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), an important part of oncogenesis and tumor progression. The let-7 family of microRNAs has previously been shown to regulate stemness and has tumor suppressive actions in a variety of cancers, including ovarian. Here, we demonstrate tumor suppressor actions of let-7i: repression of cancer cell stemness, inhibition of migration and invasion, and promotion of apoptosis, features important for cancer progression, relapse, and metastasis. Let-7i over-expression results in increased sensitivity to the PARP inhibitor olaparib in samples without BRCA mutations, consistent with induction of BRCAness phenotype. We also show that let-7i inhibits the expression of several factors involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway, providing potential mechanisms by which the BRCAness phenotype could be induced. These actions of let-7i add to the rationale for use of this miRNA as a treatment for ovarian cancer patients, including those without mutations in the HRR pathway.

Abstract
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a new cancer treatment that uses an antibody-photo-absorber conjugate (APC) composed of a targeting monoclonal antibody conjugated with a photoactivatable phthalocyanine-derivative dye, IRDye700DX (IR700). APCs injected into the body can bind to cancer cells where they are activated by local exposure to NIR light typically delivered by a NIR laser. NIR light alters the APC chemical conformation inducing damage to cancer cell membranes, resulting in necrotic cell death within minutes of light exposure. NIR-PIT selectivity kills cancer cells by immunogenic cell death (ICD) with minimal damage to adjacent normal cells thus, leading to rapid recovery by the patient. Moreover, since NIR-PIT induces ICD only on cancer cells, NIR-PIT initiates and activates antitumor host immunity that could be further enhanced when combined with immune checkpoint inhibition. NIR-PIT induces dramatic changes in the tumor vascularity causing the super-enhanced permeability and retention (SUPR) effect that dramatically enhances nanodrug delivery to the tumor bed. Currently, a worldwide Phase 3 study of NIR-PIT for recurrent or inoperable head and neck cancer patients is underway. In September 2020, the first APC and accompanying laser system were conditionally approved for clinical use in Japan. In this review, we introduce NIR-PIT and the SUPR effect and summarize possible applications of NIR-PIT in a variety of cancers.

Effect of tumor burden and radical surgery on survival difference between upfront, early interval or delayed cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer. J Gynecol Oncol 2021; 32:e78. [PMID: 34431252 PMCID: PMC8550927 DOI: 10.3802/jgo.2021.32.e78] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the impact on survival of tumor burden and surgical complexity in relation to the number of cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (OC) with minimal (CC-1) or no residual disease (CC-0). METHODS This retrospective study included patients with International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics IIIC-IV stage OC who underwent debulking surgery at 4 high-volume institutions between January 2008 and December 2015. We assessed the overall survival (OS) of primary debulking surgery (PDS group), early interval debulking surgery after 3-4 cycles of NACT (early IDS group) and delayed debulking surgery after 6 cycles (DDS group) with CC-0 or CC-1 according to peritoneal cancer index (PCI) and Aletti score. RESULTS Five hundred forty-nine women were included: 175 (31.9%) had PDS, 224 (40.8%) early IDS and 150 (27.3%) DDS. Regardless of Aletti score, median OS after PDS was significantly higher than after early IDS or DDS, but the survival difference was higher in women with an Aletti score <8. Among patients with PCI ≤10, median OS after PDS was significantly higher than after early IDS or DDS. In women with PCI >10, there were no differences between PDS and early IDS, but DDS was associated with decreased OS. CONCLUSION The benefit of complete PDS compared with NACT was maximal in patients with a low complexity score. In patients with low tumor burden, there was a survival benefit of PDS over early IDS or DDS. In women with high tumor load, DDS impaired the oncological outcome.
