Abstract
INTRODUCTION Symptoms due to chemotherapy are common in patients with cancer. Cancer-related symptoms are closely associated with the deterioration of physical function which can be associated with decreased quality of life and increased mortality. Thus, timely symptom identification is critical for improving cancer prognosis and survival. Recently, remote symptom monitoring system using digital technology has demonstrated its effects on symptom control or survival. However, few studies examined whether remote monitoring would contribute to retaining physical function among patients with cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile-based symptom monitoring in improving physical function among patients with cancer under chemotherapy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial. We will recruit 372 patients at three tertiary hospitals located in Seoul, South Korea. Study participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the ePRO-CTCAE app and a control group receiving routine clinical practice only. The primary outcome is changes in physical function from commencement to completion of planned chemotherapy. A linear mixed model will be performed under the intention-to-treat principle. The secondary outcomes include physical activity level; changes in pain interference; changes in depressive symptom; unplanned clinical visits; additional medical expenditure for symptom management; completion rate of planned chemotherapy; changes in symptom burden and health-related quality of life; and 1-year overall mortality. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been approved by the institutional review board and ethics committee at the three university hospitals involved in this trial. Written informed consent will be obtained from all the participants. The results of the trial will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals and disseminated through relevant literatures. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER KCT0007220.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in major gynecologic surgery, expressed as cumulative opioid consumption 24 h after surgery. DESIGN A single-center, patient-assessor blinded, randomized controlled study. SETTING Samsung medical center (tertiary university hospital), between February 2022 to January 2023. PATIENTS Eighty-eight females undergoing major surgery with long midline incision for gynecologic malignancy. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned to receive standard systemic analgesia (Control group) or ESPB (ESPB group). ESPB was performed bilaterally at the level of the 9th thoracic vertebra with a mixture of 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine and 100 μg of epinephrine. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was cumulative opioid consumption at 24 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included opioid consumption and pain severity during the 72 h after surgery. The variables regarding postoperative recovery and patient-centered outcomes were compared. MAIN RESULTS The mean cumulative opioid consumption 24 h after surgery was 35.8 mg in the ESPB group, which was not significantly different from 41.4 mg in the control group (mean difference, 5.5 mg; 95% CI -1.7 to 12.8 mg; P = 0.128). However, patient satisfaction regarding analgesia was significantly higher in the ESPB group compared with the control group at 24 h postoperative (median difference, -1; 95% CI -3 to 0; P = 0.038). There were no significant differences in the variables associated with postoperative recovery. CONCLUSION ESPB did not reduce opioid consumption during the 24 h postoperative but attenuated pain intensity during the early period after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Geriatric patients requiring gynecological surgery is increasing worldwide. However, older patients are at higher risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality, particularly cardiopulmonary complications. Laparoscopic surgery is widely used as a minimally invasive method for reducing postoperative morbidities. We compared the outcomes of open and laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries in patients older than 55 years. METHODS We included patients aged >55 years who underwent gynecological surgery at a single tertiary center between 2010 and 2020, excluding vaginal or ovarian cancer surgeries were excluded. Surgical outcomes were compared between the open surgery and laparoscopic groups, with age cutoff was set at 65 years for optimal discriminative power. We performed linear or logistic regression analyses to compare the surgical outcomes according to age and operation type. RESULTS Among 2,983 patients, 28.6% underwent open surgery and 71.4% underwent laparoscopic surgery. Perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic surgery were better than those of open surgery in all groups. In both the open and laparoscopic surgery groups, the older patients showed worse overall surgical outcomes. However, age-related differences in perioperative outcomes were less severe in the laparoscopic group. In the linear regression analysis, the differences in estimated blood loss, transfusion, and hospital stay between the age groups were smaller in the laparoscopy group. Similar restuls were observed in cancer-only and benign-only cohorts. CONCLUSION Although the surgical outcomes were worse in the older patients, the difference between age groups was smaller for laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery offers more advantages and safety in patients aged >65 years.

Abstract
In the 2023 series, we summarized the major clinical research advances in gynecologic oncology based on communications at the conference of Asian Society of Gynecologic Oncology Review Course. The review consisted of 1) Endometrial cancer: immune checkpoint inhibitor, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), selective inhibitor of nuclear export, CDK4/6 inhibitors WEE1 inhibitor, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. 2) Cervical cancer: surgery in low-risk early-stage cervical cancer, therapy for locally advanced stage and advanced, metastatic, or recurrent setting; and 3) Ovarian cancer: immunotherapy, triplet therapies using immune checkpoint inhibitors along with antiangiogenic agents and PARP inhibitors, and ADCs. In 2023, the field of endometrial cancer treatment witnessed a landmark year, marked by several practice-changing outcomes with immune checkpoint inhibitors and the reliable efficacy of PARP inhibitors and ADCs.

Abstract
Gene expression profiling using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and microarray technologies is widely used in cancer research to identify biomarkers for clinical endpoint prediction. We compared the performance of these two methods in predicting protein expression and clinical endpoints using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets of lung cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer. We calculated the correlation coefficients between gene expression measured by RNA-seq or microarray and protein expression measured by reverse phase protein array (RPPA). In addition, after selecting the top 103 survival-related genes, we compared the random forest survival prediction model performance across test platforms and cancer types. Both RNA-seq and microarray data were retrieved from TCGA dataset. Most genes showed similar correlation coefficients between RNA-seq and microarray, but 16 genes exhibited significant differences between the two methods. The BAX gene was recurrently found in colorectal cancer, renal cancer, and ovarian cancer, and the PIK3CA gene belonged to renal cancer and breast cancer. Furthermore, the survival prediction model using microarray was better than the RNA-seq model in colorectal cancer, renal cancer, and lung cancer, but the RNA-seq model was better in ovarian and endometrial cancer. Our results showed good correlation between mRNA levels and protein measured by RPPA. While RNA-seq and microarray performance were similar, some genes showed differences, and further clinical significance should be evaluated. Additionally, our survival prediction model results were controversial.

Abstract
This study aimed to report the clinical outcomes and risk factors for survival of patients with low-risk early-stage human papillomavirus-associated (HPVA) endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC) treated with surgery alone. This retrospective study obtained the clinicopathological data of patients with early-stage HPVA EAC who underwent surgery between 2012 and 2018. The Silva pattern of invasion was determined by reviewing pathology slides. Locoregional recurrence-free survival (RFS), RFS, and overall survival were calculated, and the risk factors for survival were analyzed. One hundred seventeen patients with a median follow-up of 5.2 years (0.5-9.7 yr) were included. The most common histologic type was usual (94/117, 80.3%). The Silva pattern was A in 79 patients (67.5%), B in 30 (25.6%), and C in 8 (6.8%). The 5-year locoregional RFS, RFS, and overall survival rates were 92.4%, 87.8%, and 97.2%, respectively. The presence of intermediate-risk factors and Silva pattern C were significantly associated with worse survival. Based on these findings, patients were categorized into 2 groups: Group 1 (Silva pattern A or Silva pattern B without intermediate-risk factors) and Group 2 (Silva pattern B with intermediate-risk factors or Silva pattern C). Group 2 showed significantly worse outcomes than Group 1, including the 5-year locoregional RFS (98.6% vs 68.0%), RFS (96.4% vs 54.6%), and overall survival (100.0% vs 86.5%). In conclusion, surgery alone for early-stage HPVA EAC resulted in favorable outcomes. Consideration of the Silva pattern, in addition to well-known risk factors, could help in precise risk group stratification of low-risk, early-stage HPVA EAC.

Abstract
Background The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been consistently associated with improved patient experience and surgical outcomes. Despite the release of ERAS Society guidelines specific to gynecologic oncology, the adoption of ERAS in gynecology on global level has been disappointingly low and some centers have shown minimal improvement in clinical outcomes after adopting ERAS. The aim of this study is to describe the development and early experience of ERAS protocols in gynecologic surgery at an urban academic tertiary medical center. Methods This was an observational prospective cohort study. The target patient population included those with low comorbidities who were scheduled to undergo various types of gynecologic surgeries for both benign and malignant diseases between October 2020 and February 2021. Two attending surgeons implemented the protocols for their patients (ERAS cohort) while three attending surgeons maintained the conventional perioperative care for their patients (non-ERAS cohort). Baseline characteristics, surgical outcomes and patients' answers to a 12-question survey were compared. A case-matched comparative analysis was also performed between the ERAS cohort and the historical non-ERAS cohort (those who received the same types of surgical procedures from the two ERAS attending surgeons prior to the implementation of the protocols). Results A total of 244 patients were evaluated (122 in the ERAS cohort vs. 122 in the non-ERAS cohort). The number of vials of opioid analgesia used during the first two postoperative days was significantly lower whereas the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen was more frequent in the ERAS cohort group. The patients in the ERAS group reported less postoperative pain, feelings of hunger and thirst, and greater amount of exercise postoperatively. These benefits of the ERAS cohort were more pronounced in the patients who underwent laparotomic surgeries than those who underwent laparoscopic surgeries. The case-matched comparative analysis also showed similar results. The length of hospital stay did not differ between those who underwent the ERAS protocols and those who did not. Conclusions The results of the study demonstrated the safety, clinical feasibility and benefits of the ERAS protocols for patients undergoing gynecologic surgeries for both benign and malignant indications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The FGF/FGFR signaling pathway plays a critical role in human cancers. We analyzed the anti-tumor effect of AZD4547, an inhibitor targeting the FGF/FGFR pathway, in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and strategies on overcoming AZD4547 resistance. METHODS The effect of AZD4547 on cell viability/migration was evaluated and in vivo experiments in intraperitoneal xenografts using EOC cells and a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model were performed. The effect of the combination of AZD4547 with SU11274, a c-Met-specific inhibitor, FGF19-specific siRNA, or an FGFR4 inhibitor was evaluated by MTT assay. RESULTS AZD4547 significantly decreased cell survival and migration in drug-sensitive EOC cells but not drug-resistant cells. AZD4547 significantly decreased tumor weight in xenograft models of drug-sensitive A2780 and SKOV3ip1 cells and in a PDX with drug sensitivity but not in models with drug-resistant A2780-CP20 and SKOV3-TR cells. Furthermore, c-Met expression was high in SKOV3-TR and HeyA8-MDR cells, and co-administration of SU11274 and AZD4547 synergistically induced cell death. In addition, expressions of FGF19 and FGFR4 were high in A2780-CP20 cells. Combining AZD4547 with FGF19 siRNA or with a selective FGFR4 inhibitor led to significantly reduced cell proliferation in A2780-CP20 cells. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that AZD4547 has significant anti-cancer effects in drug-sensitive cells and PDX models but not in drug-resistant EOC cells. In drug-resistant cells, the expression level of c-Met or FGF19/FGFR4 may be a predictive biomarker for AZD4547 treatment response, and a combination strategy of drugs targeting c-Met or FGF19/FGFR4 together with AZD4547 may be an effective therapeutic strategy for EOC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Impact of adjuvant treatment on survival in patients with 2023 FIGO stage IIC endometrial cancer: a retrospective analysis from two tertiary centers in Korea and Taiwan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In early-stage endometrial cancer, aggressive histologic types (grade 3 endometrioid, serous, clear cell, carcinosarcomas, undifferentiated, mixed, and other unusual types) are associated with an increased risk of distant metastases and worse survival. However, the optimal adjuvant treatment for these patients remains controversial. The present study investigated the outcomes of different adjuvant treatments in patients with 2023 FIGO stage IIC endometrial cancer. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with 2023 FIGO stage IIC endometrial cancer who underwent surgery followed by either adjuvant treatment or observation from 2000 to 2020 at two tertiary centers in Korea and Taiwan. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional-hazards models. We also analyzed recurrence patterns after different adjuvant treatments. RESULTS A total of 272 patients were identified; 204 received adjuvant treatment postoperatively, whereas 68 only underwent observation. Adjuvant treatment was not associated with improved RFS or OS. Non-endometrioid histologic types (p=0.003) and presence of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI, p=0.002) were associated with worse RFS, whereas only non-endometrioid histologic types impacted OS (p=0.004). In subgroup analyses, adjuvant treatment improved OS in patients with LVSI (p=0.020) and in patients with both LVSI and grade 3 endometrioid histologic type (p=0.007). We found no difference in locoregional and distant recurrence between patients undergoing adjuvant treatment or observation. CONCLUSION In this study, the addition of adjuvant treatment was associated with an OS benefit for patients with LVSI, especially those with grade 3 endometrioid tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Antibiotic use preceding immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment has been associated with a decreased efficacy of ICI in solid tumors. In this study, we evaluated the effect of antibiotic use before ICI therapy on oncological outcomes. METHODS We examined patients with recurrent gynecologic malignancies at two academic institutions. The clinical data, including antibiotic use within 60 days of ICI initiation, type of antibiotics, reasons for antibiotic use, body mass index, tumor site, chemotherapy-free interval, prior history of radiotherapy, disease control rate (DCR), and overall survival (OS), were assessed. RESULTS Of 215 patients, 22.9% (n = 47) received antibiotics before ICI treatment. The most common cancer was ovarian (52.1%, n = 112), followed by cervical (24.7%, n = 53) and endometrial (16.7%, n = 36). When we divided the cohort based on antibiotic use before ICIs, there were no significant differences in the DCR and baseline characteristics between the two groups. On multivariate analyses, the variables associated with poor OS were previous use of antibiotics for a cumulative duration of >14 days (HR 2.286, 95% CI 1.210-4.318; p = 0.011); Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 2 or 3 (HR 4.677, 95% CI 2.497-8.762; p < 0.001); and chemotherapy-free interval of <6 months (HR 2.007, 95% CI 1.055-3.819; p = 0.034). CONCLUSION Prior use of antibiotics for a cumulative duration of >14 days was associated with reduced survival in recurrent gynecologic malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared oncologic outcomes between minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and open surgery for the treatment of endometrial cancer with a high risk of recurrence. METHODS This study included patients with endometrial cancer who underwent primary surgery at two tertiary centers in Korea and Taiwan. Low-grade advanced-stage endometrial cancer (endometrioid grade 1 or 2) or endometrial cancer with aggressive histology (endometrioid grade 3 or non-endometrioid) at any stage was considered to have a high risk of recurrence. We conducted 1:1 propensity score matching between the MIS and open surgery groups to adjust for the baseline characteristics. RESULTS Of the total of 582 patients, 284 patients were included in analysis after matching. Compared with open surgery, MIS did not show a difference in disease-free survival [hazard ratio (HR) 1.09; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.67-1.77, P = 0.717] or overall survival (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.36-1.24, P = 0.198). In the multivariate analysis, non-endometrioid histology, tumor size, tumor cytology, depth of invasion, and lymphovascular space invasion were risk factors for recurrence. There was no association between the surgical approach and either recurrence or mortality in the subgroup analysis according to stage and histology. CONCLUSIONS MIS did not compromise survival outcomes for patients with endometrial cancer with a high risk of recurrence when compared with open surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Primary and secondary liver cancer incidence is growing and has a poor prognosis. The standard use of radiation has been hampered by studies with a wide range of patients, different management protocols and varied outcomes. To overcome this heterogeneity in the literature, larger and higher-level trials are warranted, but, so far, have been difficult to implement. Therefore, pooled analyses may offer the best way to determine the benefit of radiation, identify treatment parameters needed to optimize treatment techniques, and identify patient factors that allow for better patient selection. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with liver cancer treated by radiotherapy at centers in Canada, United States and Australia was pooled. Patient and treatment characteristics were noted, as well as the clinical outcomes of local control within 1 year, recurrence and mortality. Stepwise Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify significant predictors for recurrence and mortality. Patients were stratified by center, and primary versus metastatic disease. RESULTS A total of 925 patients were included in this study. Mean age was 67 years, and 45% had a primary diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. 1-year local control rate was 80%. Median survival was 1.8 years (1.9 years for primary liver cancer, and 1.4 years for metastatic liver cancer). Higher total dose and BED was associated with better survival. Median time to recurrence was 1.5 years. Higher total dose was associated with lower risk of recurrence CONCLUSION: As one of the largest pooled analyses in hepatic cancer, this international multi-center study provides pragmatic data on clinical outcomes of patients receiving radiotherapy for liver cancer. This database may assist in better selection of patients for future studies and answer questions such as what is the optimal dose and which patients benefit from treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery for gynecologic malignancy via midline-laparotomy leads to severe postoperative pain. Adequate pain control while sparing opioid consumption does offer benefits in postoperative complications and recovery. Intrathecal morphine (ITM) provides simple and effective analgesia. In this randomized trial, we compared postoperative opioid consumption in patients who received either ITM or a sham procedure. METHODS We enrolled 68 adult patients undergoing open gynecologic oncology surgery from June 2021 to November 2021. They were randomly allocated to the ITM group (ITM; 200 μg injection) or sham group (sham procedure) to achieve a final 1:1 ratio between groups. We compared opioid consumption and pain severity during 72 hours after surgery. The variables regarding postoperative recovery and patient-centered outcomes were collected. The primary outcome is cumulative intravenous (IV) opioid consumption 24 hours after surgery. RESULTS The median (interquartile range) cumulative IV opioid consumption during 24 hours after surgery was 18 mg (12-29) in the ITM group and 36 mg (27-42) in the sham group (median difference, 13; 95% confidence interval, 7.2-20.7; P < .001). Patient satisfaction regarding pain control was statistically significantly higher in the ITM group than in the sham group at postoperative 24 and 48 hours ( P < .001 and P = .005, respectively). There were no significant differences in the variables associated with postoperative recovery and frequency of complications requiring treatment. CONCLUSIONS ITM is a safe and effective analgesic method after curative intent laparotomy for gynecologic malignancy. ITM provides better pain relief, reduces opioid consumption, and improves patient satisfaction without additional evident adverse events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify clinicopathological factors associated with disease recurrence for patients with 2018 FIGO stage IA with lymphovascular invasion to IB1 cervical cancer treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS). METHODS A total of 722 patients with cervical cancer between January 2010 and February 2021 were identified. Clinicopathological factors related to disease recurrence were analyzed. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. To determine prognostic factors for DFS, a Cox proportional hazard regression model was used. RESULTS Of 722 patients, 49 (6.8%) experienced disease recurrence (37 pelvis, 1 para-aortic lymph node, and 11 peritoneum). Five-year DFS and OS rates were 90.7% and 98.1%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, risk factors associated with disease recurrence were residual disease in the remaining cervix (OR, 3.122; 95% CI, 1.152-8.461; p = 0.025), intracorporeal colpotomy (OR, 3.252; 95% CI, 1.507-7.017; p = 0.003), and positive resection margin (OR, 3.078; 95% CI, 1.031-9.193; p = 0.044). The non-conization group had a higher percentage of stage IB1 (77.4% vs. 64.6%; p = 0.004) and larger tumor (10 mm vs. 7 mm; p < 0.001) than the conization group. Intracorporeal colpotomy and residual disease in the remaining cervix were independent variables associated with disease recurrence in patients undergoing MIS following conization. CONCLUSION During MIS, patients with cervical cancer ≤2 cm in size can be vulnerable to peritoneal recurrences. Patients diagnosed with invasive cancer through conization often have low-risk pathological features, which may affect their survival outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gynecologic cancer has a high frequency of anemia, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Blood transfusion is used to correct anemia, but carries its own side effects and problems in the blood supply have been emerging. As such, methods other than transfusion are needed to correct anemia in patients with cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE To determine whether intravenous administration of high-dose iron supplements before and after surgery as a patient blood management program is helpful in correcting anemia and reducing the frequency of transfusion in patients with gynecologic cancer. STUDY HYPOTHESIS Patient blood management will reduce the transfusion rate by up to 25%. TRIAL DESIGN This prospective, multicenter, interventional, randomized controlled study will consist of three steps. In step 1, the safety and effectiveness of patient blood management for surgical patients before, during, and after surgery will be evaluated. In steps 2 and 3, the safety and effectiveness of patient blood management in patients before, during, and after adjuvant radiation therapy and chemotherapy will be evaluated. MAJOR INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA Patients who are diagnosed with gynecologic cancer (ie, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer) and scheduled for surgery will be included and their iron deficiency status will be assessed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate oncologic and pregnancy outcomes of fertility-sparing treatment (FST) using progestin in patients with stage I grade 2 endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC) without myometrial invasion (MI) or grade 1-2 with superficial MI. METHODS Multicenter data of patients with stage I grade 2 EC without MI or grade 1-2 EC with superficial MI, who received FST between 2005 and 2021, were analyzed. Cox regression analysis identified independent factors for progressive disease (PD) during the FST. RESULTS Altogether, 54 patients received FST [medroxyprogesterone acetate (500-1000 mg) in 44, megestrol acetate (40-800 mg) in 10] with concurrent levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices use in 31. With median time to achieve a complete response (CR) of 10 (3-24) months, 39 patients (72.2%) achieved CR. Of the 15 patients who attempted to conceive after achieving CR, 7 (46.7%) became pregnant (2 abortions, 5 live births). During a median FST duration of 6 (3-12) months, nine patients (16.6%) were diagnosed with PD. Fifteen (38.5%) experienced recurrence with a median recurrence-free survival of 23 (3-101) months. In the multivariable analysis, tumor size before FST ≥2 cm (HR 5.456, 95% CI 1.34 to 22.14; p = 0.018) was significantly associated with a high PD rate during FST. CONCLUSION The overall response rate to FST was promising, however, the PD rate was significant during the first 12 months of FST. Therefore, performing thorough endometrial biopsy and imaging studies is essential to strictly evaluate the extent of the disease every 3 months from FST initiation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although mobile-based symptom monitoring is expected to improve patient participation in symptom management during anticancer therapy, previous trials have not evaluated its effectiveness. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the impact of a symptom monitoring mobile application on improving patient participation in symptom management during anticancer therapy. METHODS We conducted a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial that enrolled patients with breast, lung, head and neck, esophageal, or gynecologic cancer who were scheduled to receive anticancer therapy (oral or intravenous) between October 2020 and March 2021. We excluded patients with physical or psychological problems. The intervention group received a symptom monitoring application for 8 weeks, and the control group received the usual clinical practice. At 8 weeks, the improvement in patient participation in symptom management was assessed, and additionally quality of life and unplanned clinical visits were assessed. RESULTS A total of 222 patients were included in the analysis, of whom 142 were randomly assigned to the intervention group and 71 to the control group. The intervention group reported better outcome in patient participation in symptom management than the control group at 8 weeks (mean scores of 8.5 vs. 8.0; P = 0.01). There were no significant differences between the groups in Quality of life (P = 0.88) and unplanned clinical visits (P = 0.39-0.76). CONCLUSIONS This study is meaningful in figuring out that the mobile-based symptom monitoring made them more engaged in their management. Future research should continue to evaluate the effects of patient participation as mediators of clinical outcomes. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04568278.

Abstract
In the 2022 series, we summarized the major clinical research advances in gynecologic oncology based on communications at the conference of Asian Society of Gynecologic Oncology Review Course. The review consisted of 1) Ovarian cancer: long-term follow-up data, new poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, overall survival (OS) issues with PARP inhibitor monotherapy, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and antibody-drug conjugate; 2) Cervical cancer: surgery in early stage disease, therapy for locally advanced stage and advanced, metastatic, or recurrent setting; and 3) Corpus cancer: follow-up regimen, immune checkpoint inhibitor, WEE1 inhibitor, selective inhibitor of nuclear export. A special note was made on the withdrawal of PARP inhibitor from the market for heavily pretreated ovarian cancer patients based on the final OS results of ARIEL-4 and SOLO-3 due to concerns of increased risk of death.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to report clinical outcomes of salvage radiotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer and identify predictors of clinical outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data of patients who received salvage radiotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer between January 2011 and June 2021. Stereotactic body radiotherapy, involved-field radiotherapy with conventional fractionation, and non-involved-field radiotherapy with conventional fractionation were included in this study. Local failure-free survival, progression-free survival, chemotherapy-free survival, and overall survival were assessed. Additionally, potential prognostic factors for survival were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 79 patients were included with 114 recurrent lesions. The median follow-up was 18.3 months (range 1.7-83). The 2-year local failure-free survival, progression-free survival, chemotherapy-free survival, and overall survival rates were 80.7%, 10.6%, 21.2%, and 74.7%, respectively. Pre-radiotherapy platinum resistance (hazard ratio (HR) 3.326, p<0.001) and short pre-radiotherapy CA-125 doubling time (HR 3.664, p<0.001) were associated with poor chemotherapy-free survival. The 1-year chemotherapy-free survival rates of patients with both risk factors, a single risk factor, and no risk factor were 0%, 20.4%, and 53.5%, respectively. The difference between risk groups was statistically significant: low risk versus intermediate risk (p<0.001) and intermediate risk versus high risk (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Salvage radiotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer resulted in local control with improved chemotherapy-free survival in carefully selected patients. Our results suggest that the consideration of pre-radiotherapy platinum resistance and pre-radiotherapy CA-125 doubling time could help with patient selection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative anxiety is an unpleasant experience that can adversely affect perioperative outcomes. Although clinical benefits of preoperative oral carbohydrate is well reported, the effect of adding chewing gum to carbohydrate loading has never been studied. We aimed to investigate the effect of adding gum-chewing to oral carbohydrates on preoperative anxiety and gastric volume in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. METHODS One hundred and four patients were enrolled and randomized either into a carbohydrate drink group (CHD group) or CHD with gum group. The CHD group was instructed to drink 400 mL of oral carbohydrate the evening before and 200-400 mL 3 hours before surgery. The CHD with gum group was encouraged to chew gum freely during preanesthetic fasting in addition to consuming oral carbohydrates in the same manner. The primary endpoint was preoperative anxiety assessed using the Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS). The degree of patient-reported quality of recovery after surgery and gastric volume prior to general anesthesia were also compared as secondary outcomes. RESULTS Preoperative APAIS was lower in the CHD with gum group compared with the CHD group (16 [11.5, 20] vs. 20 [16.5, 23], p = 0.008). Patient-rated quality of recovery after surgery was also higher in the CHD with gum group and showed a significant negative correlation with preoperative APAIS score (correlation coefficient: -0.950, p = 0.001). Gastric volume were not different between the groups (0 [0-0.45] vs. 0 [0-0.22], p = 0.158). CONCLUSION The addition of gum chewing to oral carbohydrate loading during preoperative fasting was more effective in relieving preoperative anxiety than oral carbohydrate alone in women patients undergoing elective gynecologic surgery.

Abstract
Background Invisible cervical cancers on MRI can indicate less invasive surgery. Cervical cancers consist of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and non-SCC, each with different long-term outcomes. It is still unclear if surgical planning should be changed according to the histologic type of cervical cancer when it is not visible on MRI. Purpose The purpose of the study was to determine if surgical planning for cervical cancer that is not visible on MRI is influenced by the histologic type. Materials and methods Between January 2007 and December 2016, 155 women had Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage 1B1 cervical cancer that was not visible on preoperative MRI. They underwent radical hysterectomies and pelvic lymph node dissections. Among them, 88 and 67 were histologically diagnosed with SCC and non-SCC, respectively. The size of the residual tumor, depth of stromal invasion, parametrial invasion, vaginal invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and lymph node metastasis were compared between these patients using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-squared test, or Fisher's exact test. The recurrence-free and overall 10-year survival rates were compared between the groups by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results The mean sizes of residual tumors were 8.4 ± 10.4 mm in the SCC group and 12.5 ± 11.9 mm in the non-SCC group (p = 0.024). The mean depth of stromal invasion in the SCC group was 12.4 ± 21.2% (0%-100%), whereas that in the non-SCC group was 22.4 ± 24.4 (0%-93%) (p = 0.016). However, there was no difference in parametrial or vaginal invasion, lymphovascular invasion, or lymph node metastasis (p = 0.504-1.000). The recurrence-free and overall 10-year survival rates were 98.9% (87/88) and 95.5% (64/67) (p = 0.246), and 96.6% (85/88) and 95.5% (64/67) (p = 0.872), respectively. Conclusions The non-SCC group tends to have larger residual tumors and a greater depth of stromal invasion than the SCC group, even though neither is visible on MRI. Therefore, meticulous care is necessary for performing parametrectomy in patients with non-SCC cervical cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cervical adenocarcinoma has poorer outcomes compared with squamous cell carcinoma; however, treatment is identical irrespective of histologic sub-types. This study aimed to investigate the patterns and risk factors of recurrence following surgery alone for low-risk early-stage cervical adenocarcinoma. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent surgery alone for low-risk early-stage cervical adenocarcinoma between January 2001 and December 2018 in a single institution. Baseline clinicopathological characteristics were collected to identify the factors associated with recurrence-free survival. RESULTS A total of 252 patients met the inclusion criteria. Most patients underwent radical hysterectomy (218 patients, 86.5%) and had usual type endocervical adenocarcinoma (190 patients, 75.4%). The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 stage was IA1 in 72 patients (27.4%), IA2 in 58 (22.1%), IB1 in 51 (19.4%), and IB2 in 71 patients (27.0%). With a median follow-up of 70.4 months (range 6.2-252.5 months), 5-year survival rates were as follows: locoregional recurrence-free survival, 93.0%; recurrence-free survival, 89.6%; overall survival, 94.7%. The recurrence patterns were local in nine patients (32.1%), regional in five patients (17.8%), distant in 10 patients (35.7%), local and distant in one patient (3.6%), regional and distant in two patients (7.2%), and locoregional and distant in one patient (3.6%). In multivariable analysis, negative human papillomavirus (HPV) status (HR 7.314; p<0.001) and deep cervical stromal invasion (HR 5.110; p=0.003) were associated with poor locoregional recurrence-free survival. Patients were stratified based on the number of risk factors and a statistically significant difference in locoregional recurrence-free survival was observed: 5-year survival rates of 99.0%, 84.2%, and 50.0% for patients with 0, 1, and 2 risk factors (0 vs 1, p=0.001; 1 vs 2, p=0.011). CONCLUSION Surgery alone for low-risk early-stage cervical adenocarcinoma was associated with favorable outcomes over a long follow-up period. Patients with the highest risk of recurrence were those with a negative HPV status and deep cervical stromal invasion. Additional management following surgery may be considered in patients with these risk factors.

Abstract
As a nutrient rich emulsion extracted from plant materials, plant-based milk (PBM) has been the latest trend and hot topic in the food industry due to the growing awareness of consumers toward plant-based products in managing the environmental (carbon footprint and land utility), ethical (animal well-fare) and societal (health-conscious) issues. There have been extensive studies and reviews done to discuss the distinct perspective of PBM including its production, health effects and market acceptance. However, not much has been emphasized on the valuable antioxidants present in PBM which is one of the attributes making them stand apart from dairy milk. The amounts of antioxidants in PBM are important. They offered tremendous health benefits in maintaining optimum health and reducing the risk of various health disorders. Therefore, enhancing the extraction of antioxidants and preserving their activity during production and storage is important. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive review of how these antioxidants changes in response to different processing steps involved in PBM production. Presumably, antioxidants in PBM could be potentially lost due to thermal degradation, oxidation or leaching into processing water. Hence, this paper aims to fill the gaps by addressing an extensive review of how different production steps (germination, roasting, soaking, blanching, grinding and filtration, and microbial inactivation) affect the antioxidant content in PBM. In addition, the effect of different microbial inactivation treatments (thermal or non-thermal processing) on the alteration of antioxidant in PBM was also highlighted. This paper can provide useful insight for the industry that aims in selecting suitable processing steps to produce PBM products that carry with them a health declaration.

Abstract
We investigated the incidence of reactive thrombocytosis after maximal cytoreductive surgery in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and its role in patient survival. We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery for advanced EOC from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2017. We analyzed the serum platelet counts at various time points from before surgery, during the peri-operative period, and after each cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy. A total of 474 patients were eligible for the analysis. Among them, 401 patients (84.6%) had FIGO stage III disease status. The most common histology type was serous adenocarcinoma (405 patients, 85.4%). Seventy-nine patients (22.6%) received splenectomy, and optimal cytoreduction was achieved in 326 patients (68.8%). A week after surgery, thrombocytosis was observed in 165 patients (34.8%) in the entire cohort. Higher platelet counts were observed in patients with splenectomy compared with patients without splenectomy. In particular, thrombocytosis on the fifth cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy showed the most significant effects on overall survival in multivariate analysis. In a logistic regression model, splenectomy was significantly attributed to thrombocytosis on the fifth cycle of chemotherapy. Reactive thrombocytosis after primary cytoreductive surgery is associated with poor survival in advanced EOC, particularly when thrombocytosis is observed during adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The recently updated World Health Organization classification divides endocervical adenocarcinomas (ADCs) into human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated (HPVA) and HPV-independent (HPVI) ADCs. This study aimed to investigate the differences in the clinical features and treatment outcomes between patients with HPVA and HPVI. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records and pathology slides of 123 patients with endocervical ADC who underwent radical hysterectomy and adjuvant radiation therapy. Tumor characteristics, patterns of failure, and survival outcomes were compared between HPVA and HPVI ADCs. RESULTS Eighty-one (65.9%) and 42 (34.1%) patients were diagnosed with HPVA and HPVI ADCs, respectively. HPVI ADC showed more frequent positive vaginal resection margin (VRM) and peritoneal seeding than HPVA ADC. After a median follow-up of 58.1 months, local recurrence and distant metastasis were more frequently observed in HPVI ADC than in HPVA ADC. Both local recurrence-free survival (77.3% vs. 91.8%) and distant metastasis-free survival (50.1% vs. 73.7%) rates of HPVI ADC were lower than those of HPVA ADC. Disease-free survival was not significantly different between HPVI and HPVA ADCs. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that HPVI ADC exhibited higher rates of VRM involvement and peritoneal seeding than those of HPVA ADC, resulting in higher rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis. Further studies with larger populations are warranted to explore optimal treatment strategies based on the histological subtypes of endocervical ADC.

Abstract
Objective Our aim was to determine if the time interval between bowel resection and initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy impacts survival in advanced ovarian cancers. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study using data from two cancer centers, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Samsung Comprehensive Cancer Center in Seoul, South Korea. Patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III or IV ovarian cancer that underwent large bowel resection during primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) were included. Results Ninety-one women were eligible of which the majority (90.1%) were diagnosed with high-grade serous cancer. The median interval from PCS to chemotherapy for all patients was 21 days (7–86 days). Patients were stratified into 3 groups: 1) Interval ≤14 days, 32 (35.2%) patients; 2) Interval between 15–28 days, 27 (29.6%) patients; and 3) Interval between 29–90 days, 32 (35.2%) patients. Surgical procedures and postoperative outcomes were similar between groups. Multivariate analysis indicated that PCS to chemotherapy interval of 2–4 weeks, younger age, and completion of 4 or more adjuvant chemotherapy cycles were independent prognostic factors of favorable overall survival. Conclusion Initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy between 2 to 4 weeks after PCS with bowel resection may improve survival outcomes in women with advanced ovarian cancer by maximizing the benefit of PCS plus adjuvant chemotherapy. Optimal waiting time for adjuvant chemotherapy after bowel resection during surgery in advanced ovarian cancer is unclear. Two to 4 weeks after surgery showed best survival outcomes which is similar in colorectal cancer. Stoma formation and intraperitoneal chemotherapy are associated with delayed waiting time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although lysyl-tRNA synthetase (KARS1) is predominantly located in the cytosol, it is also present in the plasma membrane where it stabilizes the 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR). This physical interaction is strongly increased under metastatic conditions. However, the dynamic interaction of these two proteins and the turnover of KARS1 in the plasma membrane has not previously been investigated. OBJECTIVE: Our objective in this study was to identify the membranous location of KARS1 and 67LR and investigate if this changes with the developmental stage of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and treatment with the inhibitor BC-K01. In addition, we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of BC-K01 in combination with paclitaxel, as the latter is frequently used to treat patients with EOC. METHODS: Overall survival and prognostic significance were determined in EOC patients according to KARS1 and 67LR expression levels as determined by immunohistochemistry. Changes in the location and expression of KARS1 and 67LR were investigated in vitro after BC-K01 treatment. The effects of this compound on tumor growth and apoptosis were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: EOC patients with high KARS1 and high 67LR expression had lower progression-free survival rates than those with low expression levels of these two markers. BC-K01 reduced cell viability and increased apoptosis in combination with paclitaxel in EOC cell xenograft mouse models. BC-K01 decreased membranous KARS1 expression, causing a reduction in 67LR membrane expression in EOC cell lines. BC-K01 significantly decreased in vivo tumor weight and number of nodules, especially when used in combination with paclitaxel. CONCLUSIONS: Co-localization of KARS1 and 67LR in the plasma membrane contributes to EOC progression. Inhibition of the KARS1-67LR interaction by BC-K01 suppresses metastasis in EOC.

Abstract
HER3 has been recognized to have an oncogenic role in various types of cancer. However, its prognostic significance has not been elucidated in cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of HER3 expression in cervical cancer using immunohistochemistry (IHC). HER3 immunohistochemical staining was performed on the tumor tissue samples of 336 cervical cancer patients. The association between the clinicopathological characteristics and patient survival analysis was assessed according to HER3 expression. HER3 IHC staining was positive in 31.0% (104/336) of the cervical cancer patients. A higher proportion of adeno-/adenosquamous carcinoma was observed in the HER3-positive group (34.6%) than in the HER3-negative group (18.8%). In survival analysis, HER3 expression was significantly associated with poorer disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) (p < 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). Multivariate analysis also indicated that HER3 expression was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.42−4.67, p = 0.002) and OS (HR = 3.21, 95% CI, 1.26−8.14, p = 0.014). HER3 protein expression was a poor prognostic factor of survival in patients with cervical cancer. This finding could help to provide individualized management for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the impact of size of residual tumors as determined by postoperative computed tomography (CT) on survival of patients with advanced, high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) who achieved residual disease less than 1 cm after primary debulking surgery (PDS). METHODS We collected data of patients with stage III HGSC who had residual tumor less than 1 cm after PDS between 2013 and 2018. Surgeon-assessed residual disease during surgery was defined as sR0 (no gross residual) or sR1 (gross residual <1 cm), and radiologist-assessed residual disease on postoperative CT was defined as rR0 (no evidence of disease) or rRany (existing residual disease). All patients were classified into the following groups: sR0/rR0, sR1/rR0, sR0/rRany, and sR1/rRany. RESULTS A total of 436 patients was placed into the sR0/rR0 (n = 187, 42.9%), sR1/rR0 (n = 59, 13.5%), sR0/rRany (n = 79, 18.1%), or sR1/rRany group (n = 111, 25.5%). Discrepancies between surgical and radiological assessments were recorded for 176 patients (40.4%) including 38 cases of sR1/rRany group with discordant residual tumor location indicated between two methods. During multivariate analysis, patients with ascites on preoperative CT, sR0/rRany group inclusion, and sR1/rRany group inclusion showed unfavorable progression-free and overall survival. CONCLUSIONS The incorporation of surgical and radiological evaluations for determining the size of residual tumors was more accurate than surgical evaluation only for predicting survival among patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent PDS to residual disease less than 1 cm.

Abstract
Background The Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer trial and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program database study demonstrated that minimally invasive radical hysterectomy was inferior to abdominal radical hysterectomy in terms of disease recurrence and survival. Among risk factors related to poor prognosis after minimally invasive surgery (MIS), tumour spillage during intracorporeal colpotomy became a significant issue. Thus, we designed this trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive radical hysterectomy using an endoscopic stapler for early-stage cervical cancer. Methods This trial is a prospective, multi-centre, open-label, single-arm, non-inferiority phase II study. The nine organisations will participate in this trial after the approval of the institutional review board. Major eligibility criteria include women aged 20 years or older with cervical cancer stage IB1 squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma according to the revised 2009 FIGO staging system who will undergo type B2 or C hysterectomy by MIS. The primary endpoint is the 4.5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate between abdominal radical hysterectomy and MIS using an endoscopic stapler. For calculating the sample size, we hypothesised that the 4.5-year DFS rate after MIS using an endoscopic stapler is assumed to be the same after abdominal radical hysterectomy at 90.9%, and the non-inferiority margin was 7.2%. When we consider a three-year accrual and 4.5-year follow-up, at least 13 events must happen, requiring a total of 111 patients assuming a statistical power of 80% and the one-tailed test of 5% significance. A total of 124 patients is needed, considering a drop-out rate of 10%. Discussion We expect intracorporeal colpotomy using an endoscopic stapler may prevent tumour spillage during MIS for stage IB1 cervical cancer, showing a comparable prognosis with abdominal radical surgery.

Abstract
Although previous studies reported that chewing gum during the preoperative fasting has the benefits of alleviating anxiety and dry mouth, preoperative chewing gum has yet to be accepted as a standard practice due to conventional anesthetic custom. Our study aimed to prospectively evaluate the effects of gum chewing on preoperative anxiety and patient's discomfort in female patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. Ninety-four patients were enrolled and randomized either into conventional fasting group (control group) or chewing gum with fasting group (gum group). The control group was instructed to fast from 3 p.m. on the day before surgery. The gum group performed preoperative fasting in the same manner, but was encouraged to chew gum freely during the fasting period. The primary endpoint was the degree of preoperative anxiety. For the evaluation of preoperative anxiety, Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS) was used. Preoperative gastric fluid volume and acidity were also measured as the secondary outcomes. Preoperative anxiety using APAIS was significantly lower in the gum group compared to the control group (control group vs. gum group: 20.9 vs. 17.8, p = 0.009). However, there was no significant difference in the gastric fluid analysis between the groups. In the female patients for elective gynecologic surgery, chewing gum during the preoperative fasting period helped to alleviate preoperative anxiety without additional increase of pulmonary aspiration risks.Trial registration: KCT0004422 (05/11/2019, https://cris.nih.go.kr ; registration number).

Abstract
In the 2021 series, we not only summarized the major clinical research advances in gynecologic oncology but also added discussions to every part, based on communications at the conference. A review of cervical cancer included adjuvant treatments such as radiation and chemoradiation (concurrent or sequential) after radical hysterectomy in early cervical cancer, and immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced, recurrent, and metastatic disease. Ovarian cancer research included studies of secondary cytoreductive surgery in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, and various trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors with or without vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors and conventional chemotherapy. The rechallenge of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor maintenance in heavily pretreated ovarian cancer were also addressed. For uterine corpus cancer, dostarlimab (anti-programmed cell death protein 1 antibody) alone, or a tyrosine kinase inhibitor in combination with pembrolizumab for advanced, metastatic, or recurrent endometrial cancer were reviewed. The survival differences between the intensive and minimalist follow-up protocols were also described. In this review, we compared salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy in terms of quality of life in BRCA 1 and 2 pathogenic variant carriers.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma is a clinicopathological disease entity that accounts for 1 % of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Advanced patient age, adverse disease biology and complexities of diagnosis and treatment render outcomes markedly inferior to systemic NHL. Despite this, an increasing evidence base including limited randomised controlled clinical trial data is informing optimal therapeutic strategies with methotrexate-based induction chemotherapy schedules and intensified consolidation in selected patients. This practice statement represents an evidence-based review of the literature and has been devised to assist healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and management of this disease.

Abstract
Objective BRCA1 expression can be lost by a variety of mechanisms including germline or somatic mutation and promotor hypermethylation. Given the potential importance of BRCA1 loss as a predictive and prognostic biomarker in several cancers, the objective of this study was to investigate BRCA1 expression using immunohistochemistry (IHC) in cervical cancer and its possible prognostic relevance. Methods Seventy patients with cervical cancer were enrolled in this study. Samples from each tumor were stained for BRCA1 and reviewed independently by gynecologic pathologists blinded to the BRCA status. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate overall survival according to BRCA1 expression. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by BRCA1 expression were selected using GSE44001 dataset, which included 300 samples treated with radical hysterectomy. In addition, cox regression analysis with backward elimination was performed to select independent prognostic markers. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was done using these DEGs. Results BRCA1 IHC was positive in 62.9% (44/70) of cases. Patients with BRCA1 expression showed better overall survival (100% vs. 76.2%, HR 0.20, 95% CI 0.04 - 0.99, p = 0.028) than those without BRCA1 expression. Analysis of gene expression profiles according to BRCA1 expression identified 321 differentially expressed mRNAs. Gene set enrichment analysis results showed two dysregulated pathways (VEGF_A_UP.V1_DN and E2F1_UP.V1_UP). Of these DEGs, alterations of 20 gene signatures were found to be independently associated with survival outcomes of patients. Conclusions BRCA1 expression in cervical cancer tissue is associated with survival. In addition, the identification of specific gene alterations associated with BRCA1 expression could help to provide individualized prediction in these patients.

Abstract
We conducted a survey to evaluate the awareness of genetic counseling and testing for hereditary gynecologic cancers among Korean healthcare providers. We performed an on-the-spot survey using 29 questions on respondents' basic information, awareness of pre/post-test genetic counseling, genetic information management, and related social issues. We surveyed healthcare providers who attended the 2019 Hereditary Gynecologic Cancer Symposium organized by the Korean Society of Gynecologic Oncology. Of the 108 attendees, 85 (78.7%) participated in the survey. Among them, 45% (37/83) and 40% (33/83) did not have a separate clinic and had a dedicated team for genetic counseling in their institutions, respectively. Most respondents (60/76, 79%) recommended genetic testing for all women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer. Many respondents simultaneously (20/85, 24%) or sequentially (45/85, 53%) tested for both pathogenic somatic and germline variants, whereas a few respondents (2/85, 2%) checked for only pathogenic somatic variants using tissue samples. Only 20% (17/85) of the respondents recommended genetic testing for all women with endometrial cancer; meanwhile, 68% (58/86) offered the test based on the results of the screening test or family history. Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy was recommended to unaffected women with pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants by 69.4% of the respondents (59/85). Most respondents (73/85, 85.9%) needed a manual on bioethics law; a few required a clinical update of hereditary cancer (73/85, 85.9%). The awareness of genetic counseling and testing and the pattern of clinical practice for hereditary gynecologic cancers differ among institutions and regions in Korea. A discussion on these issues and the development of an integrated manual for healthcare providers are required.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) metastases from epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are rare. We investigated the clinico-pathological prognostic factors of patients with CNS metastases from EOC and compared the outcomes of various treatment modalities. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with CNS metastases from EOC between 2000 and 2020. Information on the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of these patients was retrieved from Samsung Medical Center and National Taiwan University Hospital. A total of 94 patients with CNS metastases were identified among 6,300 cases of EOC, resulting in an incidence of 1.49%. Serous histological type [hazard ratio (HR): 0.49 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.25-0.95), p=0.03], progressive disease [HR: 2.29 (95% CI 1.16-4.54), p=0.01], CNS involvement in first disease relapse [HR: 0.36 (95% CI 0.18-0.70), p=0.002], and gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS)-based combination treatment for EOC patients with CNS lesions [HR: 0.59 (95% CI 0.44-0.79), p<0.001] significantly impacted survival after diagnosis of CNS metastases. In a subgroup analysis, superior survival was observed in patients with CNS involvement not in first tumor recurrence who underwent GKS-based combination therapeutic regimens. The survival benefit of GKS-based treatment was not significant in patients with CNS involvement in first disease relapse, but a trend for longer survival was still observed. In conclusion, GKS-based combination treatment can be considered for the treatment of EOC patients with CNS metastases. The patients with CNS involvement not in first disease relapse could significantly benefit from GKS-based combination strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pogostemon yatabeanus, synonym Dysophylla yatabeana, (Labiatae) is an endangered wild species in Korea. It has has a limited natural habitat and requires urgent conservation measures. OBJECTIVE To develop an efficient cryopreservation protocol using in vitro shoot tips to complement traditional conservation approaches in case seeds are unavailable, or insufficient in number for conservation programs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Node-cutting induced shoot tips of in vitro plants were produced and cryopreserved using a droplet-vitrification method following improvements in preculture, osmoprotection, vitrification solution (VS) and regrowth treatments. The starting protocol included preculture with 10% sucrose for 31 h, followed by osmoprotection with C4-35% (17.5% glycerol + 17.5% sucrose) for 40 min, and cryoprotection with A3-80% (33.3% glycerol + 13.3% DMSO + 13.3% EG + 20.1% sucrose) for 60 min on ice, cooling and warming using aluminum foil strips, and regrowth in MS hormone-free medium. RESULTS Shoot tips of Pogostemon yatabeanus were sensitive to the osmotic stress evidenced by low survival after step-wise preculture with 17.5% sucrose and cryopreservation without osmoprotection. Among VS tested, including PVS2, PVS3 and their alternatives, A3-80% on ice for 60 min resulted in the highest post-cryopreservation survival (80%) and regeneration (20%). Post-cryopreservation regeneration significantly improved (up to 73%) by incubation of cryopreserved shoot tips on ammonium-free medium followed by GA X3-containing medium and medium without growth regulators. CONCLUSION Cryopreservation of in vitro shoot tips using droplet-vitrification was developed as a complementary conservation approach for D. yatabeana. Adjustment of medium composition during the recovery stage was important for regeneration of healthy plants from both cryoprotected-control and cryopreserved shoot tips.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report a case of vulvar epithelioid sarcoma, a rare type of tumor that has been reported in 37 cases in the English literature to date. CASE REPORT We report three cases of vulvar epithelioid sarcoma, proximal type. Wide excisions of the mass were performed with margins free of tumor in all three cases. CONCLUSION Due to its low incidence, there are no evidence-based diagnostic algorithms or published recommendations for treatment. Locoregional lymph node involvement, vascular invasion, tumor size larger than 2 cm, deep localization, presence of necrosis, and a high mitotic index are known as poor prognostic factors. Adjuvant radiotherapy is advisable in the presence of a high-grade tumor or positive margins. The beneficial effect of adjuvant chemotherapy is not well established. Treatment decisions should be made based on the individual case presentation and pathology evaluation.

Abstract
Background In a previous study, a proteomic panel consisting of BCL-2, HER2, CD133, CAIX, and ERCC1 significantly predicted survival in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. However, the prognostic significance of these proteins has not been assessed in early cervical cancer. The present study investigated the clinical significance and chemoradioresistance prediction power of these proteins in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. Materials and Methods BCL-2, HER2, CD133, CAIX, and ERCC1 expression was determined by the immunohistochemical staining of 336 cervical cancer tissue microarrays. The associations of these proteins with clinicopathologic characteristics and disease progression were assessed. Results There was a trend of low CAIX expression (p=0.082) and high ERCC1 expression (p=0.059) in patients with a favorable response to adjuvant radiation. High HER2 expression was significantly associated with shorter disease-free survival (DFS) in the total group (5-year DFS of 80.1% vs. 92.2%, p=0.004). A prognostic significance remained in multivariate analysis (Hazard ratio, HR=2.10, p=0.029). In the adjuvant radiation group, low CAIX and high ERCC1 expression indicated significantly unfavorable DFS (75.0% vs. 89.0%, p=0.026 and 76.8% vs. 88.6%, p=0.022, respectively). Low CAIX expression remained an independent prognostic marker in multivariate analysis (HR=0.45, p=0.037). The combined molecular-clinical model using random survival forest method predicted DFS with improved power compared with that of the clinical variable model (C-index 0.77 vs. 0.71, p=0.006). Conclusion HER2, CAIX, and ERCC1 expression can be predictive protein markers for clinical outcomes in early cervical cancer patients treated primarily with radical surgery with or without adjuvant radiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Uterine artery ligation (UAL) at the time of myomectomy has shown to decrease blood loss during the operation. However, little is known about the efficacy and feasibility of UAL during single-port access (SPA) myomectomy. The present study was performed to investigate the clinical benefits of UAL in SPA myomectomy and to provide details of the surgical techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective and comparative review on the surgical outcomes of the patients who underwent SPA myomectomy with UAL and those who underwent SPA myomectomy without UAL was conducted. UAL was performed at its origin from the internal iliac artery via a retroperitoneal approach. RESULTS A total of 56 women who received SPA myomectomy were reviewed (24 patients received SPA myomectomy with UAL while 32 patients received SPA myomectomy only). The median weight of total resected leiomyomas was heavier for the patients who received UAL than those who did not receive UAL [210.0 g (range: 171.5-335.0 g) vs. 119.0 g (62.5-265.0 g), p = 0.023]. However, no differences in total operative time, estimated blood loss, perioperative hemoglobin changes, use of postoperative analgesics and postoperative complications between the two groups were seen. CONCLUSION Obtaining similar surgical outcomes between the patients who received UAL with larger leiomyomas and those who did not receive UAL with smaller leiomyomas suggests that UAL is a feasible surgical approach to reduce blood loss during SPA myomectomy. Detailed descriptions of the surgical techniques are provided in the present report.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic approach versus laparotomy in endometrial cancer that extends to the cervix in the form of glandular extension and/or stromal invasion. A retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted using data between 1995 and 2017 at an urban tertiary academic medical center. We identified patients who were diagnosed with endometrial cancer whose tumor involved the uterine cervix on final pathology. Operative and oncologic outcomes were compared between the patients who underwent minimally-invasive surgery (MIS) versus those who underwent laparotomy. A total of 282 patients with endometrial cancer were reviewed for the study. Among these patients, 76 patients underwent hysterectomy and surgical staging via MIS. There was no conversion from MIS to laparotomy. In the MIS group, shorter hospital stay (4.4 ± 2.3 days for MIS group vs. 7.1 ± 4.7 days for laparotomy group; p-value = 0.002) and less blood loss during the operations (228 mL vs. 478 mL, p-value < 0.001) were observed compared to the laparotomy group. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that age at diagnosis, FIGO stage, histology grades, tumor size, lymph-vascular space invasion were independent prognostic markers for poor oncologic outcomes but the types of surgical approach (MIS vs. laparotomy) were not associated with it. The means by which colpotomy was performed (either intracorporeal or transvaginal) among the MIS group also did not affect patient survivals. Among the women with endometrial cancer that involved the uterine cervix, surgical treatment via MIS compared to laparotomy showed no difference in survival outcomes but better perioperative results. These findings support the use of MIS for these patient group.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effect of waiting time, from diagnosis to initiation of definitive concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT), on overall survival in cervical cancer patients. Materials and Methods Patients with cervical cancer who were treated with definitive CCRT between 2000 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Time from initial pathological diagnosis to definitive CCRT was analyzed both as a continuous variable (per day) and as a categorical variable in two groups (group 1 ≤ median, group 2 > median). Patients with a waiting time of more than 60 days were excluded. Results The median waiting time was 14 days (0–60). There were differences between group 1 and group 2 in age and chemotherapy regimens. However, no significant difference was found in the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, cell type, or the number of cycles of chemotherapy received during CCRT. A longer waiting time was associated with poorer overall survival on the Kaplan-Meier curve (group 1 vs. group 2, p=0.042). On multivariate analysis, intervals as either a continuous variable (hazard ratio [HR], 1.023; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.006 to 1.040; p=0.007) or a categorical variable (HR, 1.513; 95% CI, 1.073 to 2.134; p=0.018), FIGO stage, cell type, and the number of cycles of chemotherapy received during CCRT were significant independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Conclusion A shorter waiting time from pathological diagnosis to definitive CCRT showed benefit on overall survival. Our findings suggest that an effort to minimize waiting times should be recommended in cervical cancer patients who are candidates for CCRT.

Abstract
Maximal cytoreductive surgery is an important prognostic factor in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). To achieve maximal cytoreductive surgery, en bloc pelvic resection with rectosigmoid colectomy can be an effective surgical strategy. This surgical methodology was first described in 1968 as "radical oophorectomy." Since then, it has been adopted by many medical institutions around the world, and its safety has been shown by many studies. However, research on the surgical method is still lacking due to the limited number of prospective comparative studies. We will review the journals on en bloc pelvic resection with rectosigmoid colectomy published to date and discuss its efficacy, complications, and surgical techniques of the procedures.
