Abstract
Malignant primary melanoma of the vagina (PMV) is a rare type of non-cutaneous melanoma often discovered in postmenopausal women. PMV has a very aggressive disease course and a poor prognosis. The best course of treatment is not presently agreed upon. In this report, we describe the case of a 68-year-old woman presenting with a malignant PMV and its subsequent management. The patient presented with right vaginal pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding and a new vaginal mass. A PET scan identified a 28 × 38 mm hypermetabolic vaginal lesion, without nodal involvement or distant metastasis. A posterior exenteration type 2B was performed, including the anal mucosa. Sentinel lymph node dissection, vaginal and rectal resection as well as a terminal colostomy were also carried out. Final staging was FIGO stage III and T4bN1. Four months later, the patient presented with a recurrent vaginal bleed and intra-vaginal induration. Imaging revealed loco-reginal recurrence at the site of the primary malignancy with countless metastases. The patient opted for palliative care given the early disseminated recurrence and her multiple comorbidities. We review the treatment options for PMV, mainly the importance of surgery as the mainstay of treatment as well as the interest of adding checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy or targeted therapy to the treatment plan. We also summarize the characteristics of PMV and its main prognostic factors.

Abstract
WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT? Dostarlimab, also known by the brand name JEMPERLI, is a medicine that can be used to treat certain types of endometrial cancer. GARNET is an ongoing phase 1 clinical study that is testing the safety and side effects of dostarlimab and the best way to administer it to patients. The results presented in this summary are from a time point in the middle of the study. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? The results from the GARNET study published in 2022 showed how well dostarlimab worked for people participating in the study. Dostarlimab was found to reduce the size of tumors in patients with certain types of endometrial cancer. The patients treated with dostarlimab had side effects that could be managed and few severe side effects. WHAT DO THE RESULTS MEAN? The results of the GARNET study led to dostarlimab being approved to treat patients with certain types of endometrial cancer. For patients with advanced-stage endometrial cancer, or endometrial cancer that has come back after chemotherapy (recurrent), there are few treatment options. The results suggest that dostarlimab may provide long-term benefits for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical margin status in women undergoing surgery for early-stage cervical cancer is an important prognostic factor. We sought to determine whether close (<3 mm) and positive surgical margins are associated with surgical approach and survival. METHODS This is a national retrospective cohort study of cervical cancer patients treated with radical hysterectomy. Patients with stage IA1/LVSI-Ib2(FIGO 2018) with lesions up to 4 cm at 11 Canadian institutions from 2007 to 2019 were included. Surgical approach included robotic/laparoscopic (LRH), abdominal (ARH) or combined laparoscopic-assisted vaginal/vaginal (LVRH) radical hysterectomy. Recurrence free survival(RFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Chi-square and log-rank tests were used to compare groups. RESULTS 956 patients met inclusion criteria. Surgical margins were as follows: negative (87.0%), positive (0.4%) or close <3 mm (6.8%), missing (5.8%). Most patients had squamous histology (46.9%); 34.6% had adenocarcinomas and 11.3% adenosquamous. Most were stage IB (75.1%) and 24.9% were IA. Mode of surgery included: LRH(51.8%), ARH (39.2%), LVRH (8.9%). Predictive factors for close/positive margins included stage, tumour diameter, vaginal involvement and parametrial extension. Surgical approach was not associated with margin status (p = 0.27). Close/positive margins were associated with a higher risk of death on univariate analysis (HR = non calculable for positive and HR = 1.83 for close margins, p = 0.017), but not significant for OS when adjusted for stage, histology, surgical approach and adjuvant treatment. There were 7 recurrences in patients with close margins (10.3%, p = 0.25). 71.5% with positive/close margins received adjuvant treatment. In addition, MIS was associated with a higher risk of death (OR = 2.39, p = 0.029). CONCLUSION Surgical approach was not associated to close or positive margins. Close surgical margins were associated with a higher risk of death. MIS was associated with worse survival, suggesting that margin status may not be the driver of worse survival in these cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent data support the predictive implications of molecular subtype assignment in endometrial cancer (EC). Our objective was to retrospectively assess clinical outcomes according to adjuvant treatment received within EC molecular subtypes. METHODS Clinical outcomes (disease-specific and progression-free survival DSS/PFS) of EC patients from a single institution and population-based cohorts that had undergone molecular classification were assessed with respect to adjuvant therapy received and 2016 ESMO risk group. RESULTS 2472 ECs were assessed; 184 (7.4%) POLEmut, 638 (25.8%) MMRd, 1223 (49.5%) NSMP and 427 (17.3%) p53abn. N = 774 (34.6%) of the cohort were ESMO 2016 high risk and 109 (4.8%) were advanced or metastatic. In patients with MMRd EC, assessed across and within stage, there was no observed benefit in DSS or PFS with the addition of chemotherapy +/- radiation compared to radiation alone in ESMO high risk (p = 0.694) or ESMO high, advanced, metastatic risk groups combined (p = 0.852). In patients with p53abn EC, adjuvant chemotherapy given with radiation was associated with significantly longer DSS compared to radiation alone in ESMO high risk (p = 0.007) and ESMO high, advanced and metastatic risk groups combined (p = 0.015), even when restricted to stage I disease (p < 0.001) and when compared in serous vs. non-serous histotypes (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with more favorable outcomes for patients with p53abn EC, including stage I disease and non-serous histotypes, but does not appear to add benefit within MMRd ECs for any stage of disease, consistent with PORTEC-3 molecular subanalysis. Prospective trials, assessing treatment efficacy within molecular subtype are needed, however these 'real-world' data should be considered when discussing adjuvant treatment with patients.

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of macroscopic cervical cancer leads to worse oncologic outcomes than with open surgery. Preoperative conization may mitigate the risk of surgical approach. Our objective was to describe the oncologic outcomes in cases of cervical cancer initially treated with conization, and subsequently found to have no residual cervical cancer after hysterectomy performed via open and minimally invasive approaches. This was a retrospective cohort study of surgically treated cervical cancer at 11 Canadian institutions from 2007 to 2017. Cases initially treated with cervical conization and subsequent hysterectomy, with no residual disease on hysterectomy specimen were included. They were subdivided according to minimally invasive (laparoscopic/robotic (MIS) or laparoscopically assisted vaginal/vaginal hysterectomy (LVH)), or abdominal (AH). Recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Chi-square and log-rank tests were used to compare between cohorts. Within the total cohort, 238/1696 (14%) had no residual disease on hysterectomy specimen (122 MIS, 103 AH, and 13 VLH). The majority of cases in the cohort were FIGO 2018 stage IB1 (43.7%) and underwent a radical hysterectomy (81.9%). There was no statistical difference between stage, histology, and radical vs simple hysterectomy between the abdominal and minimally invasive groups. There were no significant differences in RFS (5-year: MIS/LVH 97.7%, AH 95.8%, p = 0.23) or OS (5-year: MIS/VLH 98.9%, AH 97.4%, p = 0.10), although event-rates were low. There were only two recurrences. In this large study including only patients with no residual cervical cancer on hysterectomy specimen, no significant differences in survival were seen by surgical approach. This may be due to the small number of events or due to no actual difference between the groups. Further studies are warranted.

Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) can be divided into 4 prognostic molecular subtypes, and no specific molecular profile (NSMP) type is the most commonly occurring type (∼50%). Although described as having an intermediate to favorable prognosis, this subtype encompasses pathologically and molecularly diverse tumors. We aimed to identify factors associated with outcomes within the NSMP ECs that might be used to stratify prognosis and direct treatment. Clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of a large series of NSMP EC were used to identify parameters that could identify the subset associated with a very favorable outcome (disease-specific death rate <5% at 5 years, termed low-risk NSMP). A total of 1110 NSMP ECs were profiled. In a univariate analysis, stage, grade, lymphovascular invasion, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression, L1CAM overexpression, and mutations in PIK3CA were associated with disease-specific survival. Two critical features, grade and ER expression, identified a low-risk NSMP subset (grade 1-2, ER-positive [>1%], 84% of cases), which showed a 5-year disease-specific death rate of 1.6% across all stages and 1.4% within stage I. The remaining cases (high-risk NSMPs, grade 3, and/or ER-negative status) were responsible for most of the disease-specific deaths (disease-specific death rate at 5 years, 22.9%; hazard ratio compared with that of low-risk NSMPs: 16.3; 95% CI, 8.4-31.7). Within NSMP EC, the low-risk and high-risk categories were of prognostic significance independent of the stage on a multivariate analysis. Low-grade and ER-positive NSMP ECs are a homogeneous low-risk group associated with an exceptionally favorable prognosis in which de-escalation and/or endocrine therapy strategies can be applied. Grade 3 and/or ER-negative status identifies a high-risk NSMP subset, including rare high-grade histotypes (eg, clear cell, dedifferentiated, and mesonephric-like), responsible for most NSMP-related deaths. Subclassification of NSMPs allows for the category of low-risk EC molecular subtypes to be dramatically expanded because it now includes both POLEmut and the much more common low-risk NSMP EC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We measured the variation in practice across all aspects of endometrial cancer (EC) management and assessed the potential impact of implementation of molecular classification. METHODS Centers from across Canada provided representative tumor samples and clinical data, including preoperative workup, operative management, hereditary cancer program (HCP) referrals, adjuvant therapy, surveillance and outcomes, for all EC patients diagnosed in 2016. Tumors were classified into the four ProMisE molecular subtypes. RESULTS A total of 1336 fully evaluable EC patients were identified from 10 tertiary cancer centers (TC; n = 1022) and 19 community centers (CC; n = 314). Variation of surgical practice across TCs was profound (14-100%) for lymphadenectomy (LND) (mean 57% Gr1/2, 82% Gr3) and omental sampling (20% Gr1/2, 79% Gr3). Preoperative CT scans were inconsistently obtained (mean 32% Gr1/2, 51% Gr3) and use of adjuvant chemo or chemoRT in high risk EC ranged from 0-55% and 64-100%, respectively. Molecular subtyping was performed retrospectively and identified 6% POLEmut, 28% MMRd, 48% NSMP and 18% p53abn ECs, and was significantly associated with survival. Within patients retrospectively diagnosed with MMRd EC only 22% had been referred to HCP. Of patients with p53abn EC, LND and omental sampling was not performed in 21% and 23% respectively, and 41% received no chemotherapy. Comparison of management in 2016 with current 2020 ESGO/ESTRO/ESP guidelines identified at least 26 and 95 patients that would have been directed to less or more adjuvant therapy, respectively (10% of cohort). CONCLUSION Molecular classification has the potential to mitigate the profound variation in practice demonstrated in current EC care, enabling reproducible risk assessment, guiding treatment and reducing health care disparities.

Abstract
Background Dostarlimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to PD-1, resulting in inhibition of binding to PD-L1 and PD-L2. We report interim data from patients with endometrial cancer (EC) participating in a phase I trial of single-agent dostarlimab. Methods GARNET, an ongoing, single-arm, open-label, phase I trial of intravenous dostarlimab in advanced solid tumors, is being undertaken at 123 sites. Two cohorts of patients with EC were recruited: those with dMMR/MSI-H disease (cohort A1) and those with proficient/stable (MMRp/MSS) disease (cohort A2). Patients received dostarlimab 500 mg every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, then dostarlimab 1000 mg every 6 weeks until disease progression. The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) per RECIST V.1.1, as assessed by blinded independent central review. Results Screening began on April 10, 2017, and 129 and 161 patients with advanced EC were enrolled in cohorts A1 and A2, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 16.3 months (IQR 9.5–22.1) for cohort A1 and 11.5 months (IQR 11.0–25.1) for cohort A2. In cohort A1, ORR was 43.5% (95% CI 34.0% to 53.4%) with 11 complete responses and 36 partial responses. In cohort A2, ORR was 14.1% (95% CI 9.1% to 20.6%) with three complete responses and 19 partial responses. Median DOR was not reached in either cohort. In the combined cohorts, the majority of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were grade 1–2 (75.5%), most commonly fatigue (17.6%), diarrhea (13.8%), and nausea (13.8%). Grade≥3 TRAEs occurred in 16.6% of patients, and 5.5% discontinued dostarlimab because of TRAEs. No deaths were attributable to dostarlimab. Conclusion Dostarlimab demonstrated durable antitumor activity in both dMMR/MSI-H (ORR 43.5%) and MMRp/MSS EC (ORR 14.1%) with a manageable safety profile. Trial registration number NCT02715284.

Abstract
Intravascular leiomyomatosis is a rare entity defined by benign smooth uterine muscle cells that typically originate from the uterus with the potential to spread into veins possibly up to the heart. The diagnosis for patients presenting with cardiac symptoms may be difficult and imaging often interpreted as thrombus or atrial myxoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a standard surgical approach for comprehensive surgical staging in women with endometrial cancer. As rates and complexity of MIS are steadily increasing, it is important to identify potential risk factors which may be associated with this approach. This study evaluates the impact of local factors on the risk of disease recurrence. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted of patients diagnosed with high grade endometrial cancer (HGEC) who underwent MIS between 2012 and 2016 at eight Canadian centers. Data was collected from medical records. The 75th percentile was calculated for estimated uterine volume and weight. All recurrences were categorized into two groups; intra-abdominal vs. extra-abdominal. To search for significant covariates associated with recurrence-free survival a Cox proportional hazard model was performed. RESULTS A total of 758 patients were included in the study. Intra-uterine manipulator was used in 497 (35.8%) of patients. Vaginal lacerations were documented in 9.1%. Median follow-up was 30.5 months (interquartile range 20-47). There were 157 who had disease recurrence (20.71%), including 92 (12.14%) intra-abdominal and 60 (7.92%) extra-abdominal only recurrences. In univariate analysis myometrial invasion, LVI, stage, uterine volume and weight > 75th percentile and chemotherapy were associated with increased risk of intra-abdominal recurrence. In multivariable analysis only stage, and specimen weight > 75th percentile (OR 2.207, CI 1.123-4.337) remained significant. Uterine volume, and weight were not associated with increased risk of extra-abdominal recurrences. CONCLUSION For patients diagnosed with HGEC undergoing MIS, extracting a large uterus is associated with a significantly increased risk for intra-abdominal recurrence.

Abstract
We present the case of a 31-year-old woman who underwent surgical excision for a polypoid, vulvar lesion. Histopathological analysis showed a diffuse myxoid stroma admixed with scant collagen fibrils. Thin-walled and branching blood vessels were prominent, with a mild perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate. Cytologically bland spindle cells with inconspicuous nucleoli were immersed in a loose myxoid stroma. This combination of histopathological features along with multinodularity in the subcutaneous fat raised concern for deep angiomyxoma, a locally destructive neoplasm. Among our differential of myxoid lesions of the vulva, we ultimately favored the diagnosis of vulvar cutaneous myxoma. Upon further investigation, we learned that our patient was indeed known for the Carney complex. We highlight that vulvar cutaneous myxomas arising in the context of the Carney complex pose a significant diagnostic challenge for pathologists and should not be overdiagnosed as aggressive lesions such as deep angiomyxoma or other malignant stromal neoplasms.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent dose-limiting toxicity induced by cisplatin. Mannitol has been used in hydration protocols to mitigate this adverse event but its role remains controversial. The aim of this study is to define the impact of mannitol on AKI in patients receiving cisplatin. METHODS This retrospective observational study was conducted in cancer patients who received at least one dose of cisplatin between September 2010 and December 2016 at the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal. The primary outcome of this study was the comparison of all grade cisplatin-associated AKI between hydration protocols with or without mannitol. RESULTS A total of 1821 patients were included of which 658 received mannitol whilst 1163 received hydration alone. The risk of all grade cisplatin-associated AKI was significantly lower for the mannitol group (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.62; 95% CI [0.42, 0.89]). This result was mainly driven by gynecologic (HR = 0.50), upper gastrointestinal (HR = 0.32), urinary tract malignancies (HR = 0.29) and lymphoma (HR = 0.33). No significant difference was seen for head and neck (HN), lung, germ cells and other cancers. However, HN cancers patients receiving mannitol had fewer grade 2 and 3 AKI. Significantly fewer AKI events were observed in HN, lung, upper gastrointestinal and urinary tract cancer when mannitol was added for cisplatin dose <75 mg/m2. CONCLUSION Although the results were generally driven by a decrease of grade 1 AKI for most cancers, the greatest benefit of mannitol was seen with cisplatin doses lower than 75 mg/m2 and should probably be reinstated in this setting.

Abstract
3581 Background: LY2880070 (LY) is an oral, selective competitive inhibitor of checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1). Chk1 inhibitors are known to increase the anti-tumor efficacy of agents such as gemcitabine (GEM), which induce replication stress. Synergy between these two agents has been applied to the clinical setting. Methods: This two-part, open-label multi-center study explores the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-tumor activity of LY in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers. The primary objective of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for multiple escalating oral doses of LY in combination with GEM. Secondary objectives were to: 1) Characterize the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and overall safety profile for LY; 2) Evaluate the PK of LY; and 3) Evaluate the anti-tumor activity of LY. Patients received LY in a variety of different dose regimens, in combination with GEM (50 to 800 mg/m2) on days 1, 8, and 15 (optional) of a 21-day cycle. Results: The combination of LY with GEM required lower doses of both LY (vs 200 mg BID monotherapy RP2D dose) and GEM (vs approved doses). The dose levels explored ranged from LY:GEM of 10 mg QD:800 mg/m2 to 50 mg BID:100 mg/m2. BID dosing of LY was implemented in order to maximize the total daily dose and avoid the adverse events that appeared to correlate with Cmax. Treatment-emergent adverse events in > 40% of patients included vomiting, nausea, and fatigue. DLTs included reduced platelet count (Gr2), fatigue (Gr3), diarrhea (Gr3), and thrombocytopenia (x2, Gr2). The t1/2 of LY was ~ 5 h, and was not significantly affected by combination with GEM. Two patients had a best overall response of SD for a duration of ≥ 6 cycles, and a confirmed PR was observed in an ovarian cancer patient who had failed multiple regimens. Conclusions: LY was tolerated in combination with lower dose GEM. The toxicity profile can be modulated by changing the dosing frequency from QD to BID while administering the same daily dose. LY may be good candidate for combination therapy with DNA damaging agents. Clinical trial information: NCT02632448 .

Abstract
The objective of this randomized, controlled trial was to assess whether voluntary participation in a proctored, proficiency-based, virtual reality robotic suturing curriculum using the da Vinci(®) Skills Simulator™ improves robotic suturing performance. Residents and attending surgeons were randomized to participation or non-participation during a 5 week training curriculum. Robotic suturing skills were evaluated before and after training using an inanimate vaginal cuff model, which participants sutured for 10 min using the da Vinci(®) Surgical System. Performances were videotaped, anonymized, and subsequently graded independently by three robotic surgeons. 27 participants were randomized. 23 of the 27 completed both the pre- and post-test, 13 in the training group and 10 in the control group. Mean training time in the intervention group was 238 ± 136 min (SD) over the 5 weeks. The primary outcome (improvement in GOALS+ score) and the secondary outcomes (improvement in GEARS, total knots, satisfactory knots, and the virtual reality suture sponge 1 task) were significantly greater in the training group than the control group in unadjusted analysis. After adjusting for lower baseline scores in the training group, improvement in the suture sponge 1 task remained significantly greater in the training group and a trend was demonstrated to greater improvement in the training group for the GOALS+ score, GEARS score, total knots, and satisfactory knots.

Abstract
Laparoscopic treatment is becoming a standard of care for early endometrial carcinoma. However, not all patients are suitable for this approach. A review of the current literature provides some arguments to differentiate absolute contra-indications from relative ones, for which, whenever possible, some options are suggested.

Abstract
Pregnancy is a rare occurrence in patients on chronic hemodialysis (CHD). The rate of successful pregnancies amounts to almost 60%, thanks to modifications of the dialysis schedule and a specifically adapted obstetrical and neonatal management. We report on seven pregnancies occurring between 1995 and 2001 in six women with a mean age of 32 years (22-39 years), on HD for a mean period of 36 months (12-96 months). Maternal and fetal complications, and the long-term outcome of mothers and children are reported, and the collaborative approaches adopted by obstetrician, pediatrician and nephrologist are discussed. The frequency and length of HD was systematically increased. One patient chose to terminate her pregnancy at 20 weeks of gestation. The mean gestational age for the six other pregnancies was 31 weeks (24-34 weeks) with an average weight at birth of 1495 g (660-1920 g). One neonate born at 24 weeks died 2 days following delivery. One patient was treated with uterine artery embolization for post-partum haemorrhage. Pediatric evaluation of the five children, who were followed up for a period ranging between 2.5 to 5.5 years, showed a good long-term outcome. In conclusion, pregnancy needs not be counterindicated or systematically terminated in patients on CHD, particularly if transplantation is not possible, if the patient refuses it, or if she is relatively old and there is a long waiting period before transplantation.

Abstract
SETTING Retrospective study of patients consecutively managed surgically for apparent stage I endometrial carcinoma in a comprehensive cancer center, using a standardized protocol for the choice of surgical approach: laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) as standard procedure, vaginal surgery in apparent stage IA grade 1 or in patients in poor medical condition, laparotomy in the case of subserous myometrial involvement at imaging or in patients with enlarged uteri or in the presence of a contra-indication to laparoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Excluding 2 patients in whom laparoscopy was converted in laparotomy, and 1 patient who had a full laparoscopic hysterectomy, the records of 155 patients were reviewed. All patients had a preoperative sonogram, and 74% had a preoperative MRI. Preoperative data, preoperative staging, operative data, pathological staging, postoperative complications, recurrence and survival were recorded. RESULTS 69 patients (43.6%) had a LAVH procedure (group LAVH), 58 patients (36.7%) were treated by laparotomy (group TAH), and 28 patients (18%) were treated by simple vaginal hysterectomy (group VH). Patients in the vaginal group were significantly heavier (VH 91.3 kg 33, range 53-175) than those of the other two groups (TAH 76.5 12.7, range 48-142; LAVH 71.1 18.5, range 47-102). The number of large (> 10 cm) uteri was significantly greater in the TAH group (46.5%) than the LAVH group (26.1%, p = 0.02) or the VH group (14.3%, p = 0.007). Myometrial invasion was suspected in 53.6% of the VH group, 72.6% of the LAVH group, and 71.4% of the TAH group. Deep myometrial invasion was suspected in no patient of the VH group, 14.5% of the LAVH group and 70.7% of the TAH group. The LAVH group had a significantly longer mean operative time than the TAH group or the VH group. The number of perioperative complications was significantly higher in the TAH group (22.4%) compared to the LAVH group (5.6%) and the VH group (0%). Blood loss was significantly elevated in the laparotomy group compared to the other two groups. The mean number of nodes removed was significantly higher in the LAVH group (15.8 7.8, range 4-37) compared to the TAH group (11 5.3, range 2-25, p = 0.002). Of 155 patients, 100 (64.5%) had correct preoperative staging. In 19 (12.3%), FIGO stage was overestimated preoperatively, and in 36 (23.2%) the FIGO stage was underestimated preoperatively. Survival curves were not found significantly different between groups.
