Efficacy and safety of niraparib in patients aged 65 years and older with advanced ovarian cancer: Results from the PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 trial. Gynecol Oncol 2024; 187:128-138. [PMID: 38833992 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.03.009] [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: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of age on the efficacy and safety of niraparib first-line maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with a complete/partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. METHODS Post hoc analysis of the phase 3 PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 study (NCT02655016). Patients in the intent-to-treat population were categorized according to age at baseline (<65 years vs ≥65 years), and progression-free survival (PFS), safety, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were evaluated for each age subgroup (clinical cutoff date, May 17, 2019). Safety findings were also evaluated according to a fixed starting dose (FSD) or an individualized starting dose (ISD). RESULTS Of 733 randomized patients, 289 (39.4%) were ≥65 years (190 niraparib, 99 placebo) at baseline. Median PFS (niraparib vs placebo) and hazard ratios (95% CI) were similar in patients aged <65 years (13.9 vs 8.2 months; HR, 0.61 [0.47-0.81]) and ≥65 years (13.7 vs 8.1 months; HR, 0.53 [0.39-0.74]). The incidences of any-grade and grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were similar across age subgroups; in the niraparib arm, TEAEs leading to dose discontinuation occurred in 7.8% of patients <65 years and 18.4% of patients ≥65 years. ISD use lowered the incidence of grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia events in niraparib-treated patients compared with the FSD (<65 years: 42.8% vs 18.0%; ≥65 years 57.0% vs 26.1%). HRQOL was comparable across age subgroups. CONCLUSION Niraparib efficacy, safety, and HRQOL were generally comparable across age subgroups, although patients ≥65 years had a higher rate of discontinuations due to TEAEs. ISD use reduced grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia events regardless of age.

Effectiveness and safety of standard chemotherapy in older patients with ovarian cancer: a retrospective analysis by age group and treatment regimen. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1289379. [PMID: 38152363 PMCID: PMC10751294 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1289379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of standard chemotherapy administered to patients >70 years with advanced ovarian cancer (OC). Methods Medical records of 956 advanced-stage patients with OC treated between 2002-2020 with standard surgery and paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy in a three-weekly (PC-3W) or weekly (PC-1W) regimen were reviewed. Treatment response and tolerability were compared between patients ≤70 years (N=723) and >70 years (N=233) with stratification to septuagenarians (>70-80 years) and octogenarians (>80 years). Results Median overall survival (mOS) in patients >70 was 41.26 months (95% confidence interval [Cl], 37.22-45.14) and median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 11.04 months (95% Cl, 8.97-15.74). No statistically significant differences in mPFS and mOS were observed between septuagenarians and octogenarians. Patients >70 treated with PC-1W versus PC-3W had significantly longer mOS (57.17 versus 30.00 months) and mPFS (19.09 versus 8.15 months). Toxicity rates were mostly similar between younger and older patients. Among patients >70 treated with PC-1W, the rate of neutropenia (75.7% versus 51.8%, p=0.0005), thrombocytopenia (41.0% versus 22.2%, p=0.0042) and anemia (78.1% versus 51.9%, p<0.0001) were significantly higher and the rate of grade 2 alopecia was statistically significantly lower compared with those >70 treated with PC-3W. Significantly more patients treated with PC-1W completed ≥6 chemotherapy cycles, suggesting better tolerability of this regimen. Conclusions Older patients with OC may benefit from improved OS with reasonable toxicity if treated with standard chemotherapy. Older patients treated with PC-1W are more likely to complete the full chemotherapy course and survive longer compared with those treated with conventional PC-3W.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the eighth most common cancer worldwide and is usually diagnosed in advanced stages. Despite many available data, no treatment results have been reviewed in Poland. This study enrolled 289 first-time patients treated between 2018 and 2021 by the Department of Oncology of the Poznań University of Medical Sciences (SKPP). The relationships among starting treatment in our centre, the type of first intervention, and the final decision were significant (p < 0.001). Patients in the SKPP group were more likely to primarily have a laparoscopy and less likely to have an exploratory laparotomy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) after a laparotomy was less often a final decision among SKPP patients (9% vs. 22%), in contrary to NACT after a laparoscopy (23% vs. 4%). Factors affecting the shortening of progression-free survival (PFS) were an advanced stage of the disease, a histopathological diagnosis, the type of cytoreduction, and the final decision. Significance according to the final decision was revealed for PDS vs. NACT after a laparotomy (p < 0.001) and for PDS vs. NACT after a laparoscopy (p = 0.011). Our study supports the benefits of treating ovarian cancer in an oncology centre with a high patient throughput. Further observations might also answer the question about overall survival (OS).

Abstract
Background Ovarian cancer (OC) is the third most common cancer in women and the leading cause of death associated with gynecologic tumors. Because this disease is asymptomatic in the early stages, most patients are not diagnosed until the late stages. This highlights the need for the development of diagnostic biomarkers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs, are currently being explored as potential biomarkers for the early detection of various malignancies in humans. However, their expression and diagnostic value in OC have not been well studied. Materials and Methods the plasma levels of miR-21, miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-205 and miR-125b were determined in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients and healthy controls by Reverse Transcription Quantitative Realtime Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). The expression levels of the deregulated microRNAs were analysed according to clinical characteristics. Results It was found that miR-21 and miR-125b were upregulated in EOC compared with healthy controls. Moreover, decreased miR-125b was associated with resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. Conclusions Our data suggest that miR-21 and miR-125b in plasma may serve as potential circulating biomarkers for the early detection of EOC. MiR-125b may also be useful for predicting chemosensitivity in EOC patients.

Low plasma PD-L1 levels, early tumor onset and absence of peritoneal carcinomatosis improve prognosis of women with advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:437. [PMID: 37179293 PMCID: PMC10183131 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-10911-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The most common subtype of ovarian cancer (OC) showing immunogenic potential is represented by the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), which is characterized by the presence of tumor-infiltrating immune cells able to modulate immune response. Because several studies showed a close correlation between OC patient's clinical outcome and expression of programmed cell death protein-1 or its ligand (PD-1/PD-L1), the aim of our study was to investigate if plasma levels of immunomodulatory proteins may predict prognosis of advanced HGSOC women. PATIENTS AND METHODS Through specific ELISA tests, we analyzed plasma concentrations of PD-L1, PD-1, butyrophilin sub-family 3A/CD277 receptor (BTN3A1), pan-BTN3As, butyrophilin sub-family 2 member A1 (BTN2A1), and B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) in one hundred patients affected by advanced HGSOC, before surgery and therapy. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to generate the survival curves, while univariate and multivariate analysis were performed using Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS For each analyzed circulating biomarker, advanced HGSOC women were discriminated based on long (≥ 30 months) versus short progression-free survival (PFS < 30 months). The concentration cut-offs, obtained by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, allowed to observe that poor clinical outcome and median PFS ranging between 6 and 16 months were associated with higher baseline levels of PD-L1 (> 0.42 ng/mL), PD-1 (> 2.48 ng/mL), BTN3A1 (> 4.75 ng/mL), pan-BTN3As (> 13.06 ng/mL), BTN2A1 (> 5.59 ng/mL) and BTLA (> 2.78 ng/mL). Furthermore, a lower median PFS was associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis, age at diagnosis > 60 years or Body Mass Index (BMI) > 25. A multivariate analysis also suggested that plasma concentrations of PD-L1 ≤ 0.42 ng/mL (HR: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.34 to 3.73; p = 0.002), age at diagnosis ≤ 60 years (HR: 1.70; 95% CI: 1.07 to 2.70; p = 0.024) and absence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (HR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.23 to 2.85; p = 0.003) were significant prognostic marker for a longer PFS in advanced HGSOC patients. CONCLUSIONS The identification of high-risk HGSOC women could be improved through determination of the plasma PD-L1, PD-1, BTN3A1, pan-BTN3As, BTN2A1 and BTLA levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The phase III PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 study (NCT02477644) showed that addition of olaparib to bevacizumab maintenance improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. We evaluated maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab in older patients in PAOLA-1. METHODS Baseline clinical and molecular data, and PFS, were compared between older (aged ≥65 years) and younger patients (<65 years). Factors associated with olaparib efficacy, and safety in age subgroups, were also assessed. RESULTS Of 806 randomised patients, 292 (36.2%) were ≥65 years. A lower proportion of older versus younger patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 (61.0% versus 76.2%) and upfront surgery (42.0% versus 55.7%). Older patients were less likely to have a BRCA1/2 mutation (17.1% versus 36.7%) or homologous recombination deficiency-positive status (34.1% versus 55.7%). After median follow-up of 22.1 months, median PFS was 21.6 months with olaparib versus 16.6 months with placebo in the older population (hazard ratio [HR] 0.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41-0.75), comparable with the younger population (median 22.9 versus 16.9 months; HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.49-0.77). PFS benefits were observed in patients with a BRCA mutation or homologous recombination deficiency-positive tumours. Incidence of olaparib-related grade ≥3 adverse events in older patients was comparable with that of younger patients (36.8% versus 31.7%) although hypertension and anaemia were more common in older patients. No treatment-related deaths occurred in older patients receiving olaparib. CONCLUSION Older patients enrolled in PAOLA-1 achieved similar PFS benefits compared with younger patients, with a similar safety profile.

Influence of interdisciplinary frailty screening on perioperative complication rates in elderly ovarian cancer patients: results of a retrospective observational study. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2022; 307:1929-1940. [PMID: 36434440 PMCID: PMC10147799 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-022-06850-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Frailty is a frequent and underdiagnosed multidimensional age-related syndrome, involving decreased physiological performance reserves and marked vulnerability against major stressors. To standardize the preoperative frailty assessment and identify patients at risk of adverse surgical outcomes, commonly used global health assessment tools were evaluated. We aimed to assess three interdisciplinary preoperative screening assessments to investigate the influence of frailty status with in-hospital complications irrespective of surgical complexity and radicality in older women with ovarian cancer (OC).

Preoperative frailty status was examined by the G8 geriatric screening tool (G8 Score-geriatric screening), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS-oncological screening), and American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status System (ASA PS-anesthesiologic screening). The main outcome measures were the relationship between perioperative laboratory results, intraoperative surgical parameters and the incidence of immediate postoperative in-hospital complications with the preoperative frailty status.
Results
116 consecutive women 60 years and older (BMI 24.8 ± 5.2 kg/m2) with OC, who underwent elective oncological surgery in University Medical Center Mainz between 2008 and 2019 were preoperatively classified with the selected global health assessment tools as frail or non-frail. The rate of preoperative anemia (hemoglobin ≤ 12 g/dl) and perioperative transfusions were significantly higher in the G8-frail group (65.9% vs. 34.1%; p = 0.006 and 62.7% vs. 41.8%, p = 0.031; respectively). In addition, patients preoperatively classified as G8-frail exhibited significantly more postoperative clinical in-hospital complications (27.8% vs. 12.5%, p = 0.045) independent of chronological age and BMI. In contrast, ECOG PS and ASA PS did not predict the rates of postoperative complications (all p values > 0.05). After propensity score matching, the complication rate in the G8-frail cohort was approximately 1.7 times more common than in the G8-non-frail cohort.
Conclusion
Preoperative frailty assessment with the G8 Score identified elderly women with OC recording a significantly higher rate of postoperative in-hospital complications. In G8-frail patients, preoperative anemia and perioperative transfusions were significantly more recorded, regardless of chronological age, abnormal BMI and surgical complexity. Standardized preoperative frailty assessment should be added to clinical routine care to enhance risk stratification in older cancer individuals for surgical patient-centered decision-making.

Impact of perioperative red blood cell transfusion, anemia of cancer and global health status on the prognosis of elderly patients with endometrial and ovarian cancer. Front Oncol 2022; 12:967421. [PMID: 36185177 PMCID: PMC9524224 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.967421] [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: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have been associated with increased morbidity and worse oncological outcome in some solid neoplasms. In order to elucidate whether RBC transfusions themselves, the preoperative anemia of cancer (AOC), or the impaired global health status might explain this impact on patients with endometrial cancer (EC) or ovarian cancer (OC), we performed a retrospective, single-institution cohort study. Materials and methods Women older than 60 years with EC or OC were included. The influence of RBC transfusions, AOC, and frailty status determined by the G8 geriatric screening tool (G8 score), as well as the clinical-pathological cancer characteristics on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), was determined by using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox regression analyses. Results In total, 263 patients with EC (n = 152) and OC (n = 111) were included in the study. Patients with EC receiving RBC transfusions were faced with a significantly shorter 5-year PFS (79.8% vs. 26.0%; p < 0.001) and 5-year OS (82.6% vs. 25.7%; p < 0.001). In multivariable analyses, besides established clinical-pathological cancer characteristics, the RBC transfusions remained the only significant prognostic parameter for PFS (HR: 1.76; 95%-CI [1.01–3.07]) and OS (HR: 2.38; 95%-CI [1.50–3.78]). In OC, the G8 score stratified the cohort in terms of PFS rates (G8-non-frail 53.4% vs. G8-frail 16.7%; p = 0.010) and AOC stratified the cohort for 5-year OS estimates (non-anemic: 36.7% vs. anemic: 10.6%; p = 0.008). Multivariable Cox regression analyses determined the G8 score and FIGO stage as independent prognostic factors in terms of PFS (HR: 2.23; 95%-CI [1.16–4.32] and HR: 6.52; 95%-CI [1.51–28.07], respectively). For OS, only the TNM tumor stage retained independent significance (HR: 3.75; 95%-CI [1.87–7.53]). Discussion The results of this trial demonstrate the negative impact of RBC transfusions on the prognosis of patients with EC. Contrastingly, the prognosis of OC is altered by the preoperative global health status rather than AOC or RBC transfusions. In summary, we suggested a cumulatively restrictive transfusion management in G8-non-frail EC patients and postulated a more moderate transfusion management based on the treatment of symptomatic anemia without survival deficits in OC patients.

Abstract
Epidural analgesia could influence the postoperative oncologic outcomes in patients with specific types of non-metastatic solid neoplasms. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of anesthetic technique on survival in elderly patients with ovarian cancer (OC). The records of all women with OC older than 60 years of age undergoing tumor debulking surgery at the University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Mainz, Germany) between January 2008 and December 2019 were obtained. The study cohort was divided into two groups based on the use of perioperative epidural anesthesia or not. First, Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to analyze the prognostic influence of anesthetic technique on survival. Second, multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was adjusted for multiple conventional prognostic factors concerning three main categories: i) Current clinical-pathological tumor characteristics; ii) anesthesiologic parameters, including mean age, American Society of Anesthesiologists Performance Status and preexisting comorbidities summarized in the Charlson Comorbidity Index; and iii) oncological and surgical parameters such as oncological radicality and Surgical complexity Score. A total of 110 patients were included in the study and 71 (64.5%) of them received epidural analgesia. The median survival time was 26.0 months from primary debulking surgery and no significant differences in progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were noted between the 'Epidural' and 'non-Epidural' cohorts. After adjustment for the selected risk factors from the three categories, the effects of epidural analgesia on PFS and OS remained non-significant [PFS: hazard ratio (HR), 1.26; 95% CI, 0.66-2.39; and OS: HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.45-1.40]. The present results did not support the independent association between epidural-supplemented anesthesia and improved PFS or OS in elderly patients with standardized ovarian cancer debulking surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the prognostic impact of various global health assessment tools in patients older than 60 years with ovarian cancer (OC). METHODS G-8 geriatric screening tool (G-8 score), Lee Schonberg prognostic index, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) were determined retrospectively in a consecutive cohort of elderly patients with OC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier method were performed to analyze the impact of the preoperative global health status on survival. RESULTS 116 patients entered the study. In multivariate analysis adjusted for clinical-pathological factors, only the G-8 score retained significance as a prognostic parameter of progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.970; 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.056-3.677]; p = 0.033). Fifty-six patients were classified as G-8-nonfrail with an increased PFS compared to 50 G-8-frail patients (53.4% vs. 16.7%; p = 0.010). A higher CCI was associated with decreased PFS (45.1% vs. 22.2%; p = 0.012), but it did not influence the risk of recurrences or death (p = 0.360; p = 0.111). The Lee Schonberg prognostic index, the ECOG, and age were not associated with survival. CONCLUSIONS The G-8 score independently predicted PFS in elderly OC patients regardless of maximal surgical effort. Thus, it could be useful to assess surgical treatment based on frailty rather than age alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate perioperative outcomes in elderly versus non-elderly women with advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS A single-institution prospective registry was analyzed for women with ovarian cancer who underwent surgery with HIPEC from January 2014 to December 2020. Elderly age was defined as ≥65 years at surgery. Complications were defined according to the Accordion scale. Univariate and multivariable analysis was used to compare progression-free survival and overall survival. RESULTS Of 127 women who underwent surgery with HIPEC, 33.1% (n=42) were ≥65 and 17.3% (n=22) were ≥70 years old. The median age for non-elderly and elderly patients were 55.7±8.3 versus 72.0±5.4 years, respectively (p<0.001). The majority of non-elderly versus elderly patients underwent HIPEC at the time of interval cytoreductive surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (52.9% vs 73.8%, p=0.024). There were no differences in moderate (15.3% vs 26.2%) or severe postoperative complications (10.6% vs 11.9%, p=0.08), acute kidney injury (7.1% vs 16.7%, p=0.12), and length of stay (5.0 vs 5.0 days, p=0.56) for non-elderly versus elderly patients. With a median follow-up of 20 months (95% CI 9.1 to 32.7 months), there was no difference in progression-free survival (18.8 vs 15.7 months, p=0.75) or overall survival (61.6 months vs not estimable, p=0.72) for non-elderly versus elderly patients. Comparing patients 65-69 versus ≥70 years, progression-free survival (33.0 vs 12.5 months, p=0.002) was significantly improved in patients aged 65-69, without difference in overall survival (not estimable vs 36.0 months, p=0.91). On multivariable analysis, age ≥65 did not impact progression-free survival (p=0.74). CONCLUSIONS In this prospective registry of women with ovarian cancer, perioperative morbidity is not increased for non-elderly versus elderly patients following surgery with HIPEC. While age should not exclude patients from surgery with HIPEC, additional research is needed regarding oncologic benefits in elderly women.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) worldwide is a major public health concern. Cancer patients are considered a vulnerable population to SARS-CoV-2 infection and may develop several COVID-19 symptoms. The heightened immunocompromised state, prolonged chronic pro-inflammatory milieu coupled with comorbid conditions are shared in both disease conditions and may influence patient outcome. Although ovarian cancer (OC) and COVID-19 are diseases of entirely different primary organs, both diseases share similar molecular and cellular characteristics in their microenvironment suggesting a potential cooperativity leading to poor outcome. In COVID-19 related cases, hospitalizations and deaths worldwide are lower in women than in males; however, comorbidities associated with OC may increase the COVID-19 risk in women. The women at the age of 50-60 years are at greater risk of developing OC as well as SARS-CoV-2 infection. Increased levels of gonadotropin and androgen, dysregulated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), hyper-coagulation and chronic inflammation are common conditions observed among OC and severe cases of COVID-19. The upregulation of common inflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), among others in the sera of COVID-19 and OC subjects suggests potentially similar mechanism(s) involved in the hyper-inflammatory condition observed in both disease states. Thus, it is conceivable that the pathogenesis of OC may significantly contribute to the potential infection by SARS-CoV-2. Our understanding of the influence and mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection on OC is at an early stage and in this article, we review the underlying pathogenesis presented by various comorbidities of OC and correlate their influence on SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Delphinidin Increases the Sensitivity of Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines to 3-Bromopyruvate. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22020709.

Abstract
3-Bromopyruvic acid (3-BP) is a promising anticancer compound. Two ovary cancer (OC) cell lines, PEO1 and SKOV3, showed relatively high sensitivity to 3-BP (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 18.7 and 40.5 µM, respectively). However, the further sensitization of OC cells to 3-BP would be desirable. Delphinidin (D) has been reported to be cytotoxic for cancer cell lines. We found that D was the most toxic for PEO1 and SKOV3 cells from among several flavonoids tested. The combined action of 3-BP and D was mostly synergistic in PEO1 cells and mostly weakly antagonistic in SKOV3 cells. The viability of MRC-5 fibroblasts was not affected by both compounds at concentrations of up to 100 µM. The combined action of 3-BP and D decreased the level of ATP and of dihydroethidium (DHE)-detectable reactive oxygen species (ROS), cellular mobility and cell staining with phalloidin and Mitotracker Red in both cell lines but increased the 2’,7’-dichlorofluorescein (DCFDA)-detectable ROS level and decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial mass only in PEO1 cells. The glutathione level was increased by 3-BP+D only in SKOV3 cells. These differences may contribute to the lower sensitivity of SKOV3 cells to 3-BP+D. Our results point to the possibility of sensitization of at least some OC cells to 3-BP by D.

Abstract
At the moment, metallic nanoparticles especially copper nanoparticles are administrated for the cure of different disorders, such as tumor and cancer. In recent years, many chemotherapeutic supplements have been formulated by copper nanoparticles. In the present study, copper nanoparticles were prepared and synthesized in aqueous medium using Camellia sinensis leaf extract. The as-prepared Cu2O nanoparticles was thoroughly characterized using XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, EDX, TEM and X-ray elemental mapping techniques. The as-synthesized Cu2O/C. sinensis NPs applied as novel nanocatalyst for the synthesis of annulated fused pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinones via a one-pot, three-component condensation of a barbituric acid, aromatic aldehydes, and malonitrile or ethylcyanoacetate under mild condition at 25 °C. Main properties of this facile method are the involves an easy work-up procedure, avoidance of hazardous or polluting chemicals, significant yields under mild conditions, and one-pot reaction. We assessed the anti-human ovarian cancer potentials of these nanoparticles against Caov-3, SW-626, and SK-OV-3 cell lines. For investigating the antioxidant activities of CuCl2⋅2H2O, C. sinensis, and copper nanoparticles, the DPPH free radical test was used. For the determining of anti-human ovarian cancer properties of CuCl2⋅2H2O, Camellia sinensis leaf aqueous extract, copper nanoparticles, and Carboplatin (Standard positive control), MTT assay was used on normal (HUVECs) and human ovarian cancer (Caov-3, SW-626, and SK-OV-3) cell lines. Copper nanoparticles had high cell death and anti-human ovarian cancer properties against Caov-3, SW-626, and SK-OV-3 cell lines. Among the above cell lines, the best result was gained in the cell line of SW-626. According to the above findings, it looks copper nanoparticles green-synthesized by Camellia sinensis leaf aqueous extract have the potential to be used as a chemotherapeutic material for human ovarian cancers.

Exploring variations in ovarian cancer survival by age and stage (ICBP SurvMark-2): A population-based study. Gynecol Oncol 2020; 157:234-244. [PMID: 32005583 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2019.12.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2019] [Revised: 12/24/2019] [Accepted: 12/30/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims to evaluate the differences in ovarian cancer survival by age and stage at diagnosis within and across seven high-income countries. METHODS We analyzed data from 58,161 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer during 2010-2014, followed until 31 December 2015, from 21 population-based cancer registries in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, and United Kingdom. Comparisons of 1-year and 3-year age- and stage-specific net survival (NS) between countries were performed using the period analysis approach. RESULTS Minor variation in the stage distribution was observed between countries, with most women being diagnosed with 'distant' stage (ranging between 64% in Canada and 71% in Norway). The 3-year all-ages NS ranged from 45 to 57% with Australia (56%) and Norway (57%) demonstrating the highest survival. The proportion of women with 'distant' stage was highest for those aged 65-74 and 75-99 years and varied markedly between countries (range:72-80% and 77-87%, respectively). The oldest age group had the lowest 3-year age-specific survival (20-34%), and women aged 65-74 exhibited the widest variation across countries (3-year NS range: 40-60%). Differences in survival between countries were particularly stark for the oldest age group with 'distant' stage (3-year NS range: 12% in Ireland to 24% in Norway). CONCLUSIONS International variations in ovarian cancer survival by stage exist with the largest differences observed in the oldest age group with advanced disease. This finding endorses further research investigating international differences in access to and quality of treatment, and prevalence of comorbid conditions particularly in older women with advanced disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly ovarian cancer (OC) patients are more likely to be managed suboptimally, with worse clinical outcomes as a result. Strategies to decrease morbidity are lacking.Methodology: Consecutive patients with advanced stage OC (IIIC-IV) who were managed in our center between January 2016 and July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and interval debulking surgery (IDS) according to our institution protocol. We divided patients into two groups: Group 1 (age ≥ 70 years) and Group 2 (age < 70 years). The primary outcome of the study was assessment of peri-operative morbidity amongst two groups. RESULTS A total of 153 patients were referred during the study period. 114 patients underwent IDS after NACT (74.5%), 46 in Group 1 and 68 in Group 2. Elderly patients were more likely to receive more than three cycles of NACT prior to IDS compared to younger patients (39% vs. 19%, p = 0.03). Elderly patients were more frequently subjected to Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) as pre-operative assessment (63% vs. 27%, p = 0.002). Optimal/complete resection was achieved in all patients in Group 1 (100%) and in 97% of patients in Group 2. With the exception of higher postoperative cardiac arrhythmias in Group 1 (11% vs. 1%, p = 0.04), no significant differences in 30-day morbidity were observed. No 90-day death in both groups was registered. CONCLUSION Older age should not preclude clinicians from offering ultra-radical resection to patients with advanced OC after NACT. In our series, elderly patients received the same treatment with similar outcomes to the younger group. Clinicians should be encouraged to use CPET for patients' selection following NACT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined factors associated with postoperative complications, 1-year overall and cancer-specific survival after epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) diagnosis. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for EOC between 2004 and 2013 were included. Multivariable models analyzed postoperative complications, overall survival, and cancer-specific survival. RESULTS Among 5223 patients, surgical complications were common. Postoperative complications correlated with increased odds of overall and disease-specific survival at 1 y. Receipt of chemotherapy was similar among women with and without postoperative complications and was independently associated with a reduction in the hazard of overall and disease-specific death at 1-year. Extensive pelvic and upper abdomen surgery resulted in 2.26 times the odds of postoperative complication, but was associated with longer 1-year overall 0.53 (0.35, 0.82) and disease-specific survival 0.54 (0.34, 0.85). CONCLUSIONS Although extent of surgery was associated with complications, the survival benefit from comprehensive surgery offset the risk. Tailored surgical treatment for women with EOC may improve outcomes.

Abstract
Background: There is little knowledge about the biological roles and clinical significance of SCNN1A in ovarian cancer. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the biological functions and prognosis value of SCNN1A in ovarian cancer to further seek a potential therapeutic target for patients with ovarian cancer. Materials and Methods: First, the expression level of SCNN1A in ovarian cancer samples obtained from ONCOMINE database was determined, and its expression in cell lines was also investigated. Moreover, correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between SCNN1A expression and prognosis in ovarian cancer patients according to the data obtained from GEPIA database and Kaplan-Meier plotter website. The biological roles of SCNN1A on cell growth, migration, and invasion were then examined by knockdown of SCNN1A in ovarian cancer cell line SK-OV-3. Ultimately, Western blotting analysis was carried out to investigate the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation markers (including E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail) after silencing SCNN1A. Results: Based on the ONCOMINE-related data and cell lines, SCNN1A was observed to be overexpressed in ovarian cancer samples and cell lines. Survival analysis showed that high expression of SCNN1A was associated with poor overall survival and progression-free survival in ovarian cancer patients. In addition, SCNN1A silence remarkably blocked SK-OV-3 cell growth ability, migration, and invasion potential. Western blotting results showed that SCNN1A silence led to an increase in E-cadherin, whereas a decrease in N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail in SK-OV-3 cells. Increased E-cadherin and decreased N-cadherin, Vimentin, as well as Snail inhibited cell invasion of ovarian cancer. Conclusions: SCNN1A might exert crucial roles in cell growth and invasion and migration in ovarian cancer, and might be a potential indicator for prognosis and a therapeutic target for ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of prevalent tumors and this study aimed to explore CCL20's effects on doxorubicin resistance of OC and related mechanisms. Doxorubicin-resistant SKOV3 DR cells were established from SKOV3 cells via 6-month continuous exposure to gradient concentrations of doxorubicin. Quantitative PCR and Western blot assay showed that SKOV3 DR cells had higher level of CCL20 than SKOV3 cells, and doxorubicin upregulated CCL20 expression in SKOV3 cells. MTT and cell count assay found that CCL20 overexpression plasmid enhanced doxorubicin resistance of SKOV3 and OVCA433 cells compared to empty vector, as shown by the increase in cell viability. In contrast, CCL20 shRNA enhanced doxorubicin sensitivity of SKOV3 DR cells compared to control. CCL20 overexpression plasmid promoted NF-kB activation and positively regulated ABCB1 expression. Besides, ABCB1 overexpression plasmid enhanced the viability of SKOV3 and OVCA433 cells compared to empty vector under treatment with the same concentration of doxorubicin, whereas ABCB1 shRNA inhibited doxorubicin resistance of SKOV3 DR cells compared to control. In conclusion, CCL20 enhanced doxorubicin resistance of OC cells by regulating ABCB1 expression.Key words: CCL20, ovarian cancer, doxorubicin resistance, tumor-promoting, ABCB1.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy with high incidence and mortality. The present study aimed to develop approaches for determining the recurrence type and identify potential miRNA markers for OC prognosis. The miRNA expression profile of OC (the training set, including 390 samples with recurrence information) was downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The validation sets GSE25204 and GSE27290 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Prescreening of clinical factors was conducted using the survival package, and the differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) were identified using the limma package. Using the Caret package, the optimal miRNA set was selected to build a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The miRNAs and clinical factors independently related to prognosis were analyzed using the survival package, and the risk score system was constructed. Finally, the miRNA-target regulatory network was built by Cytoscape software, and enrichment analysis was performed. There were 46 DE-miRNAs between the recurrent and non-recurrent samples. After the optimal 19-miRNA set was selected for constructing the SVM classifier, 6 DE-miRNAs (miR-193b, miR-211, miR-218, miR-505, miR-508 and miR-514) independently related to prognosis were further extracted to build the risk score system. The neoplasm cancer status was independently correlated with the prognosis and conducted with stratified analysis. Additionally, the target genes in the regulatory network were enriched in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton and the TGF-β signaling pathway. The 6-miRNA signature may serve as a potential biomarker for OC prognosis, particularlyfor recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the safety and efficacy of niraparib in patients aged ≥70 years with recurrent ovarian cancer in the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial. METHODS The trial enrolled 2 independent cohorts with histologically diagnosed recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer who responded to platinum rechallenge, on the basis of germline breast cancer susceptibility gene mutation (gBRCAmut) status. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive niraparib (300 mg) or placebo once daily until disease progression. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review. Adverse events (AEs) of special interest were based on the known safety profile of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. RESULTS Patients aged ≥70 years in the gBRCAmut cohort receiving niraparib (n = 14) had not yet reached a median PFS compared with a median PFS of 3.7 months for the same age group in the placebo arm (hazard ratio [HR], 0.09 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.01 to 0.73]). Non-gBRCAmut patients aged ≥70 years receiving niraparib (n = 47) had a median PFS of 11.3 months compared with 3.8 months in the placebo arm (HR, 0.35 [95% CI, 0.18 to 0.71]). Median duration of follow-up in the niraparib arm was 17.3 months in patients ≥70 years and 17.2 months in patients <70 years. Frequency, severity of AEs, and dose reductions in the niraparib arm were similar in patients aged <70 and ≥ 70 years population. The most common grade ≥ 3 AEs in patients ≥70 years were hematologic: thrombocytopenia event (34.4%), anemia event (13.1%), and neutropenia event (16.4%). CONCLUSIONS For patients ≥70 years of age receiving niraparib as maintenance treatment in the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial, PFS benefits and incidence of any grade or serious treatment-emergent AEs were comparable to results in the younger population. Use of niraparib should be considered in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review a single-center clinical experience with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in a population of frail epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients and investigate the prognostic role of advanced age. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical data from 102 advanced EOC patients treated with NACT and presenting high perioperative risk. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group A, including patients aged 70 years or older; and group B, including patients below 70 years old. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to compare survival and prognostic factors for survival between the two groups. RESULTS Forty-two patients (41.2%) were older than 70 years. Elderly patients were more likely to present comorbidities ( p = 0.0001), poor performance status ( p = 0.04), and multiple indications for NACT ( p = 0.03). They showed a reduced response to NACT, since only 64% of elderly patients underwent surgical debulking (98.3% vs 64.3%, p = 0.001) and, among these, half of them were optimally debulked (79.3% vs 50%, p = 0.01). Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly lower in group A (respectively, 9 vs 13 months, p = 0.005, and 21 vs 29 months, p = 0.01). Advanced age, IV stage, presence of ascites, and residual disease >1 cm were significantly associated with a lower PFS. However, when analyzing factors associated with OS, the only significant ones were higher American Society of Anesthesiologists score and residual disease >1 cm. CONCLUSIONS Age was not found to be a prognostic factor for survival. This highlights the necessity of validated geriatric assessment tools predicting functional age and treatment tolerability to avoid undertreatment of elderly patients.

Abstract
Approximately 40% of all patients with ovarian cancer in Japan are aged ≥65 years. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the differences in prognosis and prognostic factors between elderly and younger patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. A total of 114 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I-IV ovarian cancer who were initiated on primary treatment at the Osaka City University Hospital (Osaka, Japan) were included in this study. Patient characteristics, treatment outcome and prognosis were compared between elderly (aged ≥65 years) and younger patients, and the prognostic factors associated with overall survival were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. The most common histological type in younger patients was clear cell carcinoma (33.8%) vs. serous carcinoma in elderly patients (44.1%), with a significant difference in the distribution of histological type (P=0.006). Complete resection was achieved in 56.2% of younger patients compared with 32.4% of elderly patients (P=0.03). The rates of standard primary treatment were comparable (56.7% of younger vs. 50.0% of elderly patients). Overall and disease-free survival did not differ significantly between the two groups. Multivariate analyses identified FIGO stage and standard primary therapy as prognostic factors in younger patients and performance status in elderly patients. Age was not an independent significant prognostic factor among patients with ovarian cancer. Therefore, performance status, rather than age, should be considered when selecting the optimal treatment for elderly patients based on objective assessment.

Abstract
A high rate of disease relapse makes epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) the leading cause of death among all gynecologic malignancies. These relapses are often due to tumor dormancy. Here we identify the RNA polymerase II transcriptional mediator subunit 12 (MED12) as an important molecular regulator of tumor dormancy. MED12 knockout (KO) induced dormancy of EOC cells in vitro and in vivo, and microarray analysis showed that MED12 KO decreased expression of EGFR. Restoration of EGFR expression in MED12 KO cells restored proliferation. Additionally, MED12 bound to the promoter of EGFR, and correlation studies showed that MED12 expression positively correlated with EGFR expression in EOC patient samples. Clinical data demonstrated that chemotherapy-resistant patients expressed lower levels of MED12 compared with responsive patients. Overall, our data show that MED12 plays an important role in regulating dormancy of EOC through regulation of EGFR.Significance: MED12 is identified as a novel, important regulator of tumor dormancy in human ovarian cancer.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) RP11‐552M11.4 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion as well as its targeting genes in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cells. LncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 expression was detected in 67 tumor tissues and paired adjacent tissues obtained from EOC patients. lncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 mimic/inhibitor plasmids were transferred into ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3, A‐2780) and normal ovarian epithelial cells (IOSE80 cells). In addition, rescue experiment was carried out by transferring BRCA2 inhibitor&lncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 inhibitor plasmids into SKOV3 and A‐2780 cells. qPCR, western blot, CKK‐8, Annexin V/propidium iodide (AV/PI), wound‐healing and Matrigel invasion assays were carried out to detect RNA expression, protein expression, cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion, respectively. LncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 expression was elevated in tumor tissues compared with paired adjacent tissues and correlated with higher pathological grade, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage and worse overall survival in EOC patients. LncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 promoted SKOV3 cell proliferation, migration and invasion whereas it inhibited apoptosis. Rescue experiment and luciferase reporter assay showed that lncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 regulated SKOV3 cells functions through binding BRCA2. Further experiments in A‐2780 cells also validated that lncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 induced A‐2780 cell proliferation while repressing apoptosis by targeting BRCA2. In addition, upregulation of lncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 increased IOSE80 cell proliferation, migration and invasion while decreasing apoptosis. In conclusion, lncRNA RP11‐552M11.4 correlates with worse prognosis, and promotes cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and inhibits cell apoptosis by down‐regulating BRCA2 in EOC.

Abstract
Cancer cell metabolism is required to support the biosynthetic demands of cell growth and cell division, and to maintain reduction oxidaton (redox) homeostasis. This study was designed to test the effects of glucose and glutamine on ovarian cancer cell growth and explore the inter-relationship between glycolysis and glutaminolysis. The SKOV3, IGROV-1 and Hey ovarian cancer cell lines were assayed for glucose, pyruvate and glutamine dependence by analyzing cytotoxicity, cell cycle progression, apoptosis and ATP production. As determined by MTT assay, glucose stimulated cell growth while the combination of glucose, glutamine and pyruvate resulted in the greatest stimulation of cell proliferation. Furthermore, 2-deoxy-glucose (2-DG) and 3-bromopyruvate (3-BP) induced apoptosis, caused G1 phase cell cycle arrest and reduced glycolytic activity. Moreover, 2-DG in combination with a low dose of aminooxyacetate (AOA) synergistically increased the sensitivity to 2-DG in the inhibition of cell growth in the ovarian cancer cell lines. These studies suggest that dual inhibition of glycolysis and glutaminolysis may be a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Purpose The survival duration of elderly patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma is shorter than that of their younger counterparts. This variation in survival duration is likely attributed to differences in the distribution of histological type or grade, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging, and undertreatment, but this observation remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the biological factors other than selection bias associated with the decreased survival of elderly patients with ovarian carcinoma. Methods A total of 314 serous ovarian cancer (SOC) patients from Jiangsu Institute of Cancer Research (JICR, PRC) between 2002 and 2012 were retrospectively analyzed, and 774 cases from MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC, USA) between 1992 and 2012 were used for validation. The 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanine (8-OHdG) concentration in leukocyte DNA was evaluated by using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, and tissue expression was assayed through immunohistochemistry. The associations between survival durations and covariates were assessed by using a Cox proportional hazards model and by conducting a log-rank test. Results Advanced age ≥ 65 years was correlated with high histological grade (p = 0.02), performance status (p = 0.03), primary treatment (p = 0.00), and suboptimal surgery outcome (p = 0.04) in SOC patients from JICR. Age, FIGO stage, histological grade, and optimal surgery were independently associated with the progression-free survival (PFS; p = 0.03, p = 0.03, p = 0.02, and p = 0.04, respectively) and overall survival (OS; p = 0.02, p = 0.04, p = 0.02, and p = 0.02, respectively) of the SOC patients from JICR. The 8-OHdG concentration in the leukocyte DNA was higher in the elderly patients than in the younger cases. The high 8-OHdG concentration in the leukocyte DNA indicated poorer median OS (30.0 months, confidence interval [CI]: 23.5–36.5 vs. 42.8 months, [CI] 38.3–47.2) and PFS (14.6 months, [CI] 11.9–17.2 vs. 18.9 months, [CI] 14.4–23.4) than those of their corresponding counterparts in the SOC patients who achieved a clinical complete response from primary treatment. Conclusions Compared with younger cases, elderly patients with SOC were commonly characterized by high tumor grade, poor performance status, and undertreatment. High 8-OHdG concentration in leukocyte DNA was associated with advanced age and poor prognosis in SOC patients.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the present study was to investigate the prognostic role of the duration of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer (EOC). Materials and Methods Within the present study we retrospectively evaluated the data of 165 consecutive patients with EOC treated with primary surgery followed by six completed cycles of platinum-taxan based intravenous adjuvant chemotherapy. Medians of total duration of chemotherapy were compared with clinical-pathological parameters. Patients were stratified into four risk groups according to the delay in days of total duration of chemotherapy, and univariate and multivariable survival analyses were performed. Results The median duration of six completed cycles of chemotherapy comprised 113 days (IQR 107–124 days). Uni- and multivariable survival analyses revealed a delay of total duration of chemotherapy of at least 9 days to be associated with progression-free (PFS), cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Hazard ratios (HR), confidence intervals (95% CI) and p-values for PFS, CSS and OS due to delay of chemo-duration were 2.9 (1.6–5.4; p = 0.001), 2.9 (1.3–6.2; p = 0.008) and 2.6 (1.3–5.4; p = 0.008), respectively. Prolonged total chemo-duration was associated with the amount of postoperative residual disease (p = 0.001) and the patients’ age (p = 0.03). Conclusion The present study suggests a prolonged duration of adjuvant chemotherapy after primary surgery to adversely affect PFS, CSS and OS in patients with EOC. Yet larger studies are required to validate our results.
