Abstract
BACKGROUND Extensive surgery on advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer is associated with increased postoperative morbidity, which may cause a delay in or omission of chemotherapy. We examined postoperative complications and their effects on adjuvant treatment in patients undergoing primary debulking surgery (PDS). METHODS Stage IIIC-IV epithelial ovarian cancer patients who underwent PDS between January 2013 and December 2020 were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the radicality of the operation, i.e., extensive or standard surgery, and their outcomes were compared. RESULTS In total, 172 patients were included; 119 underwent extensive surgery, and 53 had standard surgery. Clavien-Dindo grade 3-5 (CDC 3+) complications were detected in 41.2% of patients after extensive operations and in 17% after standard surgery (p = 0.002). The most common CDC 3+ complication was pleural effusion. Despite the difference in the complication rates, the delay in chemotherapy did not differ between the extensive and standard groups (p = 0.98). CONCLUSIONS Complications are common after PDS. Extensive surgery increases the complication rate, but most complications can be treated effectively; therefore, a delay in adjuvant treatment is rare.

Abstract
Ovarian carcinoma is characterized by heterogeneity at the molecular, cellular and anatomical levels, both spatially and temporally. This heterogeneity affects response to surgery and/or systemic therapy, and also facilitates inherent and acquired drug resistance. As a consequence, this tumour type is often aggressive and frequently lethal. Ovarian carcinoma is not a single disease entity and comprises various subtypes, each with distinct complex molecular landscapes that change during progression and therapy. The interactions of cancer and stromal cells within the tumour microenvironment further affects disease evolution and response to therapy. In past decades, researchers have characterized the cellular, molecular, microenvironmental and immunological heterogeneity of ovarian carcinoma. Traditional treatment approaches have considered ovarian carcinoma as a single entity. This landscape is slowly changing with the increasing appreciation of heterogeneity and the recognition that delivering ineffective therapies can delay the development of effective personalized approaches as well as potentially change the molecular and cellular characteristics of the tumour, which might lead to additional resistance to subsequent therapy. In this Review we discuss the heterogeneity of ovarian carcinoma, outline the current treatment landscape for this malignancy and highlight potentially effective therapeutic strategies in development.

Abstract
In spite of tremendous advances in advanced ovarian cancer management through the past decade, notably owing to surgical expertise and novel combination molecules (including bevacizumab and PARP inhibitors), the optimal initial sequential strategy remains a major concern. Indeed, following seminal clinical trials, primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) followed by adjuvant systemic therapy and interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) have been positioned as validated alternatives with distinct pros and cons, although a definite response is still unassessed. In clinical practice, decisions between PCS and ICS rely on multilayer parameters: the tumor itself, the patient, and the health structure. In this state-of-the-art review, we will discuss the current evidence based on clinical trials and real-world data and highlight the remaining questions, including the fittest positioning of PCS vs. ICS and the optimal number of NACT cycles; subsequently, we will discuss current axes of research such as dedicated clinical trials and more global perspectives. These ongoing strategies and perspectives could contribute to improving the patient journey through personalized medicine.

The impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the tumor microenvironment in advanced high-grade serous carcinoma. Oncogenesis 2022; 11:43. [PMID: 35907904 PMCID: PMC9338965 DOI: 10.1038/s41389-022-00419-1] [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: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
High-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal carcinoma is an aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer that frequently develops resistance to chemotherapy. It remains contested whether the resistance is caused by the acquisition of novel molecular aberrations or alternatively through the selection of rare pre-existing tumor clones. To address this question, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing to depict the tumor landscape of 6 samples from a single case of advanced high-grade serous fallopian tube carcinoma during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). We analyzed a total of 32,079 single cells, with 17,249 cells derived from the pre-NACT multisite tumor tissue samples and 14,830 cells derived from the post-NACT multisite tumor tissue samples. We identified the diverse properties of the tumor, immune and stromal cell types between the pre-NACT and post-NACT tumors. The malignant epithelial cells displayed a high degree of intratumor heterogeneity in response to NACT. We showed that the primary resistant clone (clone 63) epithelial genotype was already present in the pre-NACT tumors, and was adaptively enriched after NACT. This clone 63 was correlated with a poor clinical prognosis. Furthermore, single-cell analysis of CD4+ T cells demonstrated that IL2RAhi-CCL22+-Tregs were selectively enriched in post-NACT tumors. Interestingly, this Treg subtype could recruit and enrich themselves through secreting the CCL22-CCR1 combination in pre-NACT and post-NACT tumors, and further express CD274 to suppress other CD4 and CD8 T cells through a CD274-PDCD1 axis in the post-NACT tumors, and this predicted an immunosuppressive state after NACT. Overall, our results provide important evidence for the adaptive resistance theory of HGSC, and for the potential development of therapeutic strategies to treat HGSC and improve the survival of patients with HGSC.

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
Background This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Rho GTPase activating protein 9 (ARHGAP9) combined with preoperative ratio of platelet distribution width to platelet count (PDW/PLT) and patients prognosis with serous ovarian cancer. Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with serous ovarian cancer treated in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from May 2011 to May 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. We verified ARHGAP9 expression in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, then detected messenger RNA (mRNA) expression encoding ARHGAP9 in ovarian cancer tissue samples using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). These patients were divided into an ARHGAP9 low-expression group and an ARHGAP9 high-expression group. The optimal critical value of PDW/PLT was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The patients were divided into low PDW/PLT group and high PDW/PLT group. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for univariate survival analysis, Cox regression method was used for multivariate analysis, and then a nomogram was constructed for internal verification. Results The ARHGAP9 protein was highly expressed both in TCGA serous ovarian cancer database and the serous ovarian cancer tumor tissues. There were significant differences in menstrual status, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and grade between the ARHGAP9 low expression group and ARHGAP9 high expression group (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, and ascites between the low PDW/PLT group and high PDW/PLT group (all P<0.05). Finally, 80 patients were included, with a mortality rate of 45.0% and a survival rate of 55.0%; the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 19 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 62.5 months. Cox multivariate analysis showed that PDW/PLT and ARHGAP9 were independent risk factors for tumor progression (P=0.026 and P=0.028, respectively). In the internal validation, the C-index of the nomogram was 0.6518 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.5685 to 0.7352], and the prediction model had certain accuracy. Conclusions ARHGAP9 and PDW/PLT Decrease can significantly prolong OS and PFS in serous ovarian cancer patients. Therefore, ARHGAP9 can be used as a new predictive biomarker and may be related to the immune infiltration of serous ovarian cancer.

Choosing the right timing for interval debulking surgery and perioperative chemotherapy may improve the prognosis of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer: a retrospective study. J Ovarian Res 2021; 14:49. [PMID: 33771198 PMCID: PMC8004423 DOI: 10.1186/s13048-021-00801-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Primary debulking surgery (PDS) is the main treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is for bulky stage III-IV patients who are poor surgical candidates and/or for whom there is a low likelihood of optimal cytoreduction. NACT can increase the rate of complete cytoreduction, but this advantage has not translated to an improvement in survival. Therefore, we aimed to identify factors associated with the survival of patients who received NACT followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS). Methods A retrospective study was conducted in FIGO stage IIIC-IV epithelial ovarian cancer patients who underwent PDS or IDS in our center between January 1st, 2013, and December 31st, 2018. Results A total of 273 cases were included, of whom 20 were lost to follow-up. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of the IDS and PDS groups were found to be similar, although the proportion of patients in stage IV and serum carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) levels before treatment in the IDS group were significantly higher than that in the PDS group. Body mass index (BMI), CA125 level before IDS, residual disease after surgery, and the interval between preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy were all found to be independent prognostic factors for PFS; FIGO stage, residual disease after surgery, and CA125 level before IDS were independent prognostic factors for OS. We found that PFS and OS were both significantly longer in patients with normal CA125 levels before IDS and when the interval between preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy was < 35.5 days (IDS-3 group) than for patients in the PDS group. Conclusions The results suggested the importance of timely IDS and postoperative chemotherapy and potentially allowed the identification of patients who would benefit the most from NACT. Normal CA125 levels before IDS and an interval between preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy no longer than 5 weeks were associated with improved prognosis in advanced ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Compare survival of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) undergoing interval debulking surgery (IDS) with either robot-assisted (R-IDS) or open (O-IDS) approach. Second, we assessed the impact of adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) cycles as independent variables associated with survival in this patient population. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Single tertiary care center. PATIENTS Total of 93 patients diagnosed with advanced EOC who underwent NACT before primary debulking surgery after consultation with a gynecologic oncologist. INTERVENTIONS All patients underwent IDS after completion of NACT with either R-IDS or O-IDS between 2011 and 2018 at a single tertiary care center. Exclusion criteria included receiving fewer than 3 or more than 6 cycles of NACT or having concurrent diagnoses of other malignancies during the treatment period. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 93 patients were identified (n = 43 R-IDS; n = 50 O-IDS). Median age (63.0 vs 66.2 years) did not differ between the 2 groups (p = .1). Of the total patients, 91% were optimally cytoreduced (57% R0 and 34% R1), and R0 rate was not influenced by surgical modality (52% O-IDS vs 63% R-IDS, p = .4). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) did not differ between patients undergoing O-IDS and those undergoing R-IDS (PFS 15.4 vs 16.7 months, p = .7; OS 38.2 vs 35.6 months, p = .7). Cytoreduction to R0 improved both PFS and OS independent of surgical approach. Subgroup analysis showed that, specifically in patients undergoing R-IDS, receiving >6 total cycles of chemotherapy was independently associated with both decreased PFS (hazard ratio 3.85; 95% confidence interval, 1.52-9.73) and OS (hazard ratio 3.97; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-14.59). When analyzed separately, neither NACT nor adjuvant cycle numbers had any effect on survival. CONCLUSION In this retrospective study of patients with advanced EOC undergoing IDS after NACT, the use of robot-assisted surgery did not affect debulking success or oncologic survival indices. Receiving >6 total cycles of chemotherapy before IDS was associated with a decrease in both PFS and OS in patients undergoing R-IDS in this cohort and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
In advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) the complete eradication of all macroscopic disease at primary debulking surgery (PDS) is associated with the best outcome. If this cannot be achieved, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS) can make complete cytoreduction possible while reducing postoperative morbidity. It is still debated if PDS and NACT- IDS are associated with similar survival and if they provide different outcomes when optimal cytoreduction is achieved. For a tailored surgical planning, accurate prediction of tumor's resectability, assessment of patient's performance status and in-depth knowledge of tumor biology are required. Both BRCA1/2 status and the "chemotherapy response score" are reliable markers of chemosensitivity and may thus improve our way to triage patients to PDS or NACT-IDS; furthermore, they could be used to modulate our surgical approach and define appropriate subgroups of patients for whom new therapies should be tested.
