Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the association of molecular and pathologic factors with concurrent or recurrent ovarian disease to guide ovarian preservation in endometrioid endometrial cancer. METHODS Patients with endometrial cancer ≤50 years of age at diagnosis were grouped by elective oophorectomy versus ovarian preservation at staging (January 2010 to June 2021). Tumors were stratified by molecular sub-type and CTNNB1 mutational status with next generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry. Germline data identified patients with Lynch syndrome. Associations between molecular/pathologic features and concurrent ovarian disease in patients electing oophorectomy were compared with the Wilcoxon rank-sum and Fisher's exact tests. Associations with isolated ovarian recurrences in patients who chose ovarian preservation were examined using survival analyses. RESULTS Among 317 patients with endometrial cancer who underwent bilateral oophorectomy, 27 (9%) had malignant ovarian tumors, of whom 11 (41%) had no gross ovarian involvement on intra-operative survey. For patients with sequencing, concurrent malignant ovarian tumors were diagnosed in 0/14 (0%) POLE, 2/48 (4%) copy number-low/no specific molecular profile, 10/22 (45%) microsatellite instability-high, and 3/6 (50%) copy number-high/TP53abnormal patients (p<0.001). Concurrent malignant ovarian tumors were present in 1/30 (3%) hotspot CTNNB1-mutated versus 10/60 (17%) wildtype/CTNNB1 non-hotspot mutated endometrial cancer patients (p=0.11) and 7/28 (25%) Lynch versus 7/74 (9%) non-Lynch syndrome patients (p=0.06). Concurrent malignant ovarian tumors were present in patients with higher grade endometrial cancer (5% grade 1 vs 20% grade 2 and 24% grade 3; p<0.001), present versus absent lymphovascular space invasion (20% vs 6%; p=0.004), positive versus negative pelvic washings (28% vs 7%; p=0.016), and ≥50% versus <50% myoinvasion (24% vs 7%; p=0.004). Of 103 patients who chose ovarian preservation, four had isolated ovarian recurrences (two had high-risk pathologic features and two had high-risk molecular features). CONCLUSIONS The integration of molecular and pathologic data may improve risk stratification of pre-menopausal patients with endometrial cancer and enhance candidate selection for ovarian preservation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of performing procedural interventions, defined as surgical resection, tumor ablation, or targeted radiation therapy, for oligoprogressive disease among patients with gynecologic malignancies who are treated with immune checkpoint blockade. METHODS Patients with gynecologic cancers treated with immune checkpoint blockade between January 2013 and October 2021 who underwent procedural interventions including surgical resection, interventional radiology ablation, or radiation therapy for oligoprogressive disease were identified. Procedures performed before immune checkpoint therapy initiation or ≥6 months after therapy completion were excluded. Long immunotherapy duration prior to intervention was defined as ≥6 months. Progression-free survival and overall survival were calculated from procedure date until disease progression or death, respectively. RESULTS During the study period, 886 patients met inclusion criteria and received immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Of these, 34 patients underwent procedural interventions for oligoprogressive disease; 7 underwent surgical resection, 3 underwent interventional radiology ablation, and 24 underwent radiation therapy interventions. Primary disease sites included uterus (71%), ovary (24%), and cervix (6%). Sites of oligoprogression included abdomen/pelvis (26%), bone (21%), lung (18%), distant lymph node (18%), brain (9%), liver (6%), and vagina (3%). Most tumors (76%) did not exhibit microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency. Approximately half (53%) of the patients had long immune checkpoint therapy duration prior to intervention. Median progression-free survival following the procedure was 5.3 months (95% CI, 3.1-9.9), and median overall survival was 21.7 months (95% CI, 14.9-not estimable). Long versus short immune checkpoint therapy duration prior to procedure and length of immune checkpoint therapy had no effect on progression-free or overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Procedural interventions for patients with oligoprogression on immune checkpoint blockade therapy are feasible and demonstrate favorable outcomes. With expanding use of immune checkpoint therapy, it is important to investigate combined modalities to maximize therapeutic benefit for patients with gynecologic cancers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Increased numbers of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in endometrial cancer (EC) are associated with improved survival, but it is unclear how this prognostic significance relates to the underlying EC molecular subtype. In this explorative hypothesis-generating study, we sought to define the immune signatures associated with the molecular subtypes of EC (i.e., POLE-mutated, microsatellite unstable (MSI-high), copy number (CN)-low, and CN-high) and to determine their correlation with patient outcomes. METHODS RNA-sequencing and molecular subtype data of 232 primary ECs were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Deconvolution of bulk gene expression data was performed using single sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) and Cell type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of known RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT). The association of the resultant immune signatures with overall survival was determined across molecular subtypes. RESULTS Statistically significant differences in enrichment were identified in 16/30 and 6/23 immune gene sets by ssGSEA and CIBERSORT, respectively. Signature of CD8+ cells in ECs of CN-high molecular subtype was associated with improved overall survival by ssGSEA (p = 0.0108), while CD8 signatures did not appear to be prognostic in MSI-high (p = 0.74) or CN-low EC molecular subtypes (p = 0.793). Of all molecular subtypes, CN-high ECs exhibited the lowest levels of CD8+ T cell infiltration. Consistent with antigen-induced T cell activation and exhaustion, enrichment for immunomodulatory receptors was predominantly observed in ECs of MSI-high and POLE-mutated molecular subtypes. CONCLUSIONS Deconvolution of bulk gene expression data can be used to identify populations of immune infiltrated endometrial cancers with improved survival. These data support the existence of unique mechanisms of immune resistance within molecular subgroups of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To characterize the safety, immunogenicity, and outcomes of patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) in second or greater remission treated with a polyvalent antigen-KLH plus OPT-821 vaccine construct and bevacizumab. METHODS Patients with recurrent HGSOC were treated with the vaccine plus bevacizumab at our institution from 01/05/2011 to 03/20/2012. Follow-up continued until 03/2021. Blood/urine samples were collected. "Responders" had an immunogenic response to ≥ 3 antigens; "non-responders" to ≤ 2 antigens. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were treated on study. One developed a dose-limiting toxicity (grade 4 fever). Two (10%) experienced bevacizumab-related grade 3 hypertension. Thirteen (68%) and 16 (84%) of 19 responded to ≥ 3 and ≥ 2 antigens, respectively (Globo-H, GM2, TF cluster Tn, MUC-1). Four of 21 patients were alive > 5 years post-treatment. Responders and non-responders had a median PFS of 4.9 months (95% CI: 2.8-8.1) and 5.0 months (95% CI: 0.7-cannot estimate), respectively; median OS was 30.7 months (95% CI: 16.9-52.0) and 34.2 months (95% CI: 12.8-cannot estimate), respectively. On two-timepoint analysis (baseline, week 17), increased IL-8 exhibited improved PFS (HR as 10-unit increase, 0.43; p = 0.04); increased PDGF exhibited worse OS (HR as 10-unit increase, 1.01; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS This is the longest follow-up of vaccine administration with bevacizumab in patients with ovarian cancer. The vaccine was well tolerated with bevacizumab. Response was not associated with improved survival. On two-timepoint analysis, increased IL-8 was associated with significant improvement in PFS; increased PDGF with significantly worse OS. For all timepoint measurements, cytokine levels were not significantly associated with survival. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01223235.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to describe clinicopathologic and treatment factors associated with oncologic outcomes in patients with early-stage ovarian clear cell carcinoma undergoing complete staging and in a sub-set of these patients undergoing fertility-conserving surgery. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma initially treated at our institution from January 1, 1996 to March 31, 2020. Survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared by log-rank test. Survival-associated variables were identified by Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS Of 182 patients, mismatch repair and p53 protein expression were assessed by immunohistochemistry on 82 and 66 samples, respectively. There were no significant differences in progression-free survival or overall survival between mismatch repair-deficient (n=6, including 4 patients with Lynch syndrome; 7.3%) and mismatch repair-proficient patients, whereas aberrant p53 expression (n=3; 4.5%) was associated with worse progression-free (p<0.001) and overall survival (p=0.01). Patients with stage IA/IC1 disease had a 95% 5-year overall survival rate (95% CI 88% to 98%); patients with stage IC2/IC3 disease had a similar 5-year overall survival rate (76%; 95% CI 54% to 88%) to that of patients with stage IIA/IIB disease (82%; 95% CI 54% to 94%). There was no difference in 5-year overall survival in patients with stage IA/IC1 undergoing chemotherapy versus observation (94% vs 100%). Nine patients underwent fertility-sparing surgery and none experienced recurrence. Of five patients who pursued fertility, all had successful pregnancies. CONCLUSIONS In patients with completely staged ovarian clear cell carcinoma, those with stage IA/IC1 disease have an excellent prognosis, regardless of chemotherapy. Aberrant p53 expression may portend worse outcomes. Additional investigation is warranted on the safety of fertility conservation in patients with stage IA/IC1 disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) endometrial carcinomas are underpinned by distinct mechanisms of DNA mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-D). We sought to characterize the clinical and genetic features of MSI-H endometrial cancers harboring germline or somatic mutations in MMR genes or MLH1 promoter hypermethylation (MLH1ph). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Of > 1,100 patients with endometrial cancer that underwent clinical tumor-normal sequencing, 184 had MSI-H endometrial cancers due to somatic MMR mutations or MLH1ph, or harbored pathogenic germline MMR mutations. Clinicopathologic features, mutational landscape, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) scores were compared among MMR-D groups using nonparametric tests. Log-rank tests were used for categorical associations; Kaplan-Meier method and Wald test based on Cox proportional hazards models were employed for continuous variables and survival analyses. RESULTS Compared with patients with germline (n = 25) and somatic (n = 39) mutations, patients with MLH1ph endometrial cancers (n = 120) were older (P < 0.001), more obese (P = 0.001) and had more advanced disease at diagnosis (P = 0.025). MLH1ph endometrial cancers were enriched for JAK1 somatic mutations as opposed to germline MMR-D endometrial cancers which showed enrichment for pathogenic ERBB2 mutations. MLH1ph endometrial cancers exhibited lower tumor mutational burden and TIL scores compared with endometrial cancers harboring germline or somatic MMR mutations (P < 0.01). MLH1ph endometrial cancer patients had shorter progression-free survival (PFS) on univariate analysis, but in multivariable models, stage at diagnosis remained the only predictor of survival. For stage I/II endometrial cancer, two-year PFS was inferior for patients with MLH1ph endometrial cancers compared with germline and somatic MMR groups (70% vs. 100%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS MLH1ph endometrial cancers likely constitute a distinct clinicopathologic entity compared with germline and somatic MMR-D ECs with potential treatment implications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Impaired brain growth has been observed in fetuses with left-sided obstructive lesions (LSOL). Maternal oxygenation (MO) can alter fetal cerebral oxygenation and vascular reactivity. Our aim was to observe whether brain growth improves during MO in fetuses with LSOL. METHODS Forty-six fetuses with LSOL and 23 control fetuses were enrolled in this prospective longitudinal study. Fetuses with LSOL were subgrouped into those with MO (LSOL-MO, n = 23) and those without MO (LSOL-nMO, n = 23). Fetal head circumference (HC) and total intracranial volume (TIV) were evaluated serially at 4-week intervals. Brain biometry and growth were analyzed using linear mixed models adjusted for gestational age and sex. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated to identify baseline characteristics predictive of brain growth in the LSOL-MO group. RESULTS Duration of MO therapy had significant interaction effects on cerebral biometry in fetuses with LSOL. TIV increased more rapidly after 8 weeks of oxygen exposure and HC was larger after 16 weeks of oxygen exposure in the LSOL-MO group compared with the LSOL-nMO group (P < 0.001). The change in TIV at the final time- point relative to the initial timepoint in the LSOL-MO group correlated negatively with the baseline pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery (r = -0.58, P = 0.003) and baseline myocardial performance index of the left ventricle (r = -0.68, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS TIV and HC increased faster in fetuses with LSOL which had MO compared with those that did not. Lower cerebral vascular resistance and preserved left heart function at baseline may predict greater cerebral biometric growth during MO. Additional research, including larger serial studies, is needed to confirm these preliminary findings and evaluate the clinical application of MO in this population. © 2022 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer (LACC) trial found that minimally invasive radical hysterectomy compared to open radical hysterectomy compromised oncologic outcomes and was associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in early-stage cervical carcinoma. We sought to assess oncologic outcomes at multiple centers between minimally invasive (MIS) radical hysterectomy and OPEN radical hysterectomy. METHODS This is a multi-institutional, retrospective cohort study of patients with 2009 FIGO stage IA1 (with lymphovascular space invasion) to IB1 cervical carcinoma from 1/2007-12/2016. Patients who underwent preoperative therapy were excluded. Squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and adenosquamous carcinomas were included. Appropriate statistical tests were used. RESULTS We identified 1093 cases for analysis-715 MIS (558 robotic [78%]) and 378. OPEN procedures. The OPEN cohort had more patients with tumors >2 cm, residual disease in the hysterectomy specimen, and more likely to have had adjuvant therapy. Median follow-up for the MIS and OPEN cohorts were 38.5 months (range, 0.03-149.51) and 54.98 months (range, 0.03-145.20), respectively. Three-year PFS rates were 87.9% (95% CI: 84.9-90.4%) and 89% (95% CI: 84.9-92%), respectively (P = 0.6). On multivariate analysis, the adjusted HR for recurrence/death was 0.70 (95% CI: 0.47-1.03; P = 0.07). Three-year OS rates were 95.8% (95% CI: 93.6-97.2%) and 96.6% (95% CI: 93.8-98.2%), respectively (P = 0.8). On multivariate analysis, the adjusted HR for death was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.43-1.52; P = 0.5). CONCLUSION This multi-institutional analysis showed that an MIS compared to OPEN radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer did not appear to compromise oncologic outcomes, with similar PFS and OS.

Abstract
AIs may offer prolonged disease stability even in metastatic ESS, but response rates are modest. After disease progression on one AI, some patients may benefit from trial of a different AI. Optimal duration of therapy is unclear; results of a phase 2 study on interruption vs maintenance of AI in LGESS are awaited.
Objectives Endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS) are rare, accounting for < 1% of all uterine malignancies. Treatment has been guided by small case series and retrospective studies. Endocrine therapy is used in both adjuvant and metastatic settings. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are widely used in clinical practice. We sought to evaluate clinical outcomes of AI use in the largest cohort of patients with LGESS to date. Methods We performed a retrospective study of patients with LGESS treated with an AI at our institution from 1/1998–12/2020. Response was evaluated using RECIST 1.1. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate median progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival. Results Forty patients were identified. Treatment was well tolerated, with 57.5% experiencing adverse effects. The most common were arthralgias (12 patients, 30%) and hot flashes (9, 22.5%). Two of 11 patients with RECIST-evaluable imaging experienced a partial response to treatment. Median PFS for the entire cohort was 79.2 months (95% CI 39.7 months to NE); the 5-year PFS rate was 59.6% (95% CI 41.8% to 73.6, p = 0.065). Median follow-up for the 29 survivors was 97.9 months (range: 12.6–226.7). The 5-year OS rate was 81.5% (95% CI 64.9–90.7%). One patient who discontinued AI after 10 years of treatment recurred 1 year later. Conclusion AIs were well tolerated and offered periods of prolonged disease stability, even in the metastatic setting. Our study suggests, however, that response rates may be lower than previously reported. Data on optimal duration of treatment is needed, but the rarity of LGESS is an obstacle to conducting large clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometrioid epithelial ovarian cancer (EEOC) is rare, and its management poorly defined. We examined factors associated with 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) after surgery for EEOC. METHODS Retrospective study: treatment and outcomes of all EEOC patients undergoing initial surgery at, or presenting to, our institution within 3 months of initial surgery, 1/2002-9/2017. RESULTS In total, 212 patients were identified. Median follow-up, 63.9 months (range, 0.7-192); median age at diagnosis, 52 years (range, 20-88); disease stage: I, n = 145 (68%); II, n = 47 (22%); III/IV, n = 20 (9%); FIGO grade: 1, 127 (60%); 2, 66 (31%); 3, 17 (8%); unknown, 2 (1%). One hundred twenty-eight (60%) had endometriosis; 75 (35%), synchronous endometrioid endometrial cancer (80%, IA); 101 (48%), complete surgical staging; 8 (5%), positive pelvic lymph nodes (LNs); 6 (4%), positive para-aortic LNs; 176 (97%), complete gross resection; 123 (60%), postoperative chemotherapy; 56(28%), no additional treatment. Five-year PFS, 83% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 76.6%-87.8%); 5-year overall survival (OS), 92.7% (95% CI: 87.7%-95.8%). Age, stage, and surgical staging were associated with improved 5-year PFS, and younger age at diagnosis with improved 5-year OS (p < 0.001). Chemotherapy did not improve 5-year PFS in IA/IB versus observation, but improved survival in IC (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.22-4.59, p = 0.99; HR: 0.17, 95% CI: 0.04-0.7, p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Age, stage, and full surgical staging were associated with improved 5-year PFS. Chemotherapy showed no benefit in IA/IB disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prior data suggested that women with incidentally detected occult invasive ovarian cancer (OIOC) at the time of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) for BRCA mutation may have poorer prognoses than would be expected based on disease stage. We sought to evaluate prevalence and outcomes of patients with OIOC in a tertiary referral center. METHODS Patients with BRCA mutation undergoing RRSO from 01/2005 to 05/2017 were identified, and their records reviewed. Women with incidentally detected OIOC were included; those with clinical features raising preoperative suspicion for malignancy were excluded. RESULTS 548 patients with BRCA mutation who underwent RRSO were identified. 26 (4.7%) had an OIOC (median age 55 years; range 42-75); 15(58%) patients, BRCA1; 9(34%), BRCA2; 2(8%) had a mutation in both genes. All OIOCs were high-grade serous: 10 (38%) Stage I; 8 (31%) Stage II; 8(31%) Stage III. 24(92%) patients received adjuvant platinum/taxane therapy. Of Stage III patients, 4 (50%) were identified intraoperatively; the remaining 4 (50%) had microscopic nodal disease on final pathology only. At median follow-up of 67.3 months (28-166) no Stage I patients have recurred; 2 Stage II and 6 Stage III patients recurred. 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 72% (95%CI, 50.2-85.7%); median PFS for the cohort was 129 months (95%CI, 75.3-not estimable). 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) was 96% (95%CI, 76-99%); median DSS not reached. CONCLUSION Consistent with prior reports, almost 5% of patients had an OIOC at RRSO. The majority with early-stage disease had excellent PFS and DSS outcomes, as would be expected based on disease stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe oncologic outcomes after using acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) to reduce requirement for allogenic red blood cell transfusions (ABT) in patients undergoing primary debulking surgery (PDS) for advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS We performed a post-hoc analysis of a recent prospective trial investigating the safety and feasibility of ANH during PDS for advanced ovarian cancer. We report long-term survival outcomes. We compared demographics, clinicopathological characteristics, survival outcomes in this cohort of Stage IIIB-IVB high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients undergoing ANH (ANH group), with a retrospective cohort of all other patients (standard group) undergoing PDS during the same time period (01/2012-04/2017). Standard statistical tests were used. RESULTS There were no demographic or clinicopathological differences between ANH (n = 33) and standard groups (n = 360), except for higher median age at diagnosis (57 vs. 62 years, respectively; p = 0.044) and shorter operative time (357 vs. 446 min, respectively; p < 0.001) in the standard group. Cytoreductive outcomes (ANH vs. standard): 0 mm, 69.7 vs. 63.9%; gross residual disease (RD) ≤1 cm, 21.2 vs. 26.9%; >1 cm, 9.1 vs. 9.2% (p = 0.78). RD after PDS was the only independent factor associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS) on multivariable analysis (p < 0.001). Patients with BRCA mutations trended towards improved PFS (p = 0.057). Significant factors for overall survival (OS) on multivariable analysis: preoperative CA125 (p = 0.004), ascites (p = 0.018), RD after PDS (p = 0.04), BRCA mutation status (p < 0.001). After adjustment for potential confounders, ANH was not independently associated with PFS or OS [PFS: HR 0.928 (0.618-1.395); p = 0.721; OS: HR 0.588 (95%CI: 0.317-1.092); p = 0.093]. CONCLUSIONS ANH is an innovative approach in intraoperative management. It was previously proven to decrease need for ABT while maintaining the ability to achieve complete gross resection and associated benefits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of tumor fragmentation on oncologic outcomes in patients with stage I uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS). METHODS We identified all patients diagnosed with stage I uLMS presenting to our institution within three months of primary surgery, 1/2000-1/2019. Patients with recurrent disease were excluded. The non-morcellated group had total hysterectomy without documented specimen fragmentation; the morcellated group, total hysterectomy with documented specimen fragmentation. We defined fragmentation as manual fragmentation or morcellation (via power morcellator or otherwise) of the specimen in peritoneal cavity or vagina. Appropriate statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS 152 patients met inclusion criteria. 107 (70%) underwent total hysterectomy (non-morcellated); 45 (30%) underwent morcellation. Median age at diagnosis for the entire cohort was 55 years (range 30-91). Median follow-up was 42.1 months (range 1.1-197.8). 40 (26.3%) patients had primary surgery at our institution, 112 (73.7%) at an outside hospital. In total 110 (72.3%) recurred: 72/107 (67.2%) non-morcellated; 38/44 (86.3%) morcellated. Median progression-free survival (PFS) for non-morcellated versus morcellated was 13.8 (95%CI 9.2-20.2) versus 7.3 months (95%CI 3-13.1), HR 1.5 (95%CI 1.02-2.24); P = 0.04. Median overall survival (OS) for non-morcellated versus morcellated was 82.1 (95%CI 52.4-122) versus 47.8 months (95%CI 28.5-129.6), HR 1.1 (95%CI 0.67-1.82); P = 0.7. Among patients with recurrence, 69.4% of non-morcellated recurred at hematogenous sites only, 18.1% recurred in peritoneum only; 28.9% of morcellated recurred at hematogenous sites, 63.2% in peritoneum. Race, lymphovascular invasion, postoperative chemotherapy, were independently associated with PFS. Mitotic index was independently associated with OS. CONCLUSIONS Tumor fragmentation/morcellation was associated with significantly higher risk of recurrence and a nearly 4-fold increase in peritoneal recurrence. Prognostic biomarkers remain important in predicting oncologic outcomes, independent of fragmentation or treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical significance and genomic associations of concurrent serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) of the ovary in women undergoing primary debulking surgery (PDS). METHODS All patients who underwent PDS for HGSC between 01/2015 and 12/2018 were captured in a prospectively maintained institutional database. Patients were categorized based on the presence or absence of concurrent STIC noted on final pathology. Demographic, perioperative, and outcomes data were collected, and groups were compared using standard statistical tests. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. For comparison of differences in somatic alterations between the two cohorts, specimens were sequenced using MSK-IMPACT. RESULTS Of 306 eligible patients, 87 (28%) had a concurrent STIC lesion (+STIC) and 219 (72%) did not (no-STIC). Demographics and clinicopathological factors were similar between the two cohorts, except for a significantly higher median preoperative CA-125 level in the no-STIC group (423 U/mL vs. 321 U/mL; p=0.029). There were no significant differences in median PFS (22.7 months [95%CI: 18.9-28.4] vs. 27.7 months [95%CI: 25.5-30.5]; p=0.126) and 3- year OS rate (81% [95%CI: 70-88%] vs. 85% [95%CI: 78-90%]; p=0.392) between +STIC and no-STIC patients, respectively. Targeted DNA-sequencing via MSK-IMPACT showed a similar distribution of driver mutations or structural genetic alterations, and affected genetic signaling pathways were similar between the cohorts. CONCLUSIONS There were no identifiable clinical and genetic differences in patients with HGSC and concurrent STIC. These data suggest a comparable, if not identical, disease process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ovarian suppression is recommended to complement endocrine therapy in premenopausal women with breast cancer and high-risk features. It can be achieved by either medical ovarian suppression or therapeutic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Our objective was to evaluate characteristics of patients with stage I-III hormone receptor positive primary breast cancer who underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Premenopausal women with stage I-III hormone receptor positive primary breast cancer diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2014 were identified from a database. Patients with confirmed BRCA1/2 mutations were excluded. Distribution of characteristics between treatment groups was assessed using χ2 test and univariate logistic regression. A multivariate model was based on factors significant on univariate analysis. RESULTS Of 2740 women identified, 2018 (74%) received endocrine treatment without ovarian ablation, 516 (19%) received endocrine treatment plus ovarian ablation, and 206 (7.5%) did not receive endocrine treatment. Among patients undergoing ovarian ablation 282/516 (55%) received medical ovarian suppression, while 234 (45%) underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. By univariate logistic analyses, predictors for ovarian ablation were younger age (OR 0.97), histology (other vs ductal: OR 0.23), lymph node involvement (OR 1.89), higher International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (stage II vs I: OR 1.48; stage III vs I: OR 2.86), higher grade (grade 3 vs 1: OR 3.41; grade 2 vs 1: OR 2.99), chemotherapy (OR 1.52), and more recent year of diagnosis (2014 vs 2010; OR 1.713). Only year of diagnosis, stage, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) treatment remained significant in the multivariate model. Within the cohort undergoing ovarian ablation, older age (OR 1.05) was associated with therapeutic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Of 234 undergoing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, 12 (5%) mild to moderate adverse surgical events were recorded. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is used frequently as an endocrine ablation strategy. Older age was associated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Perioperative morbidity was acceptable. Evaluation of long-term effects and quality of life associated with endocrine ablation will help guide patient/provider decision-making.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although trials of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in ovarian cancer use 3 neoadjuvant cycles, real-world practice varies. We sought to evaluate the influence of increasing pre-operative cycles on survival, accounting for surgical outcomes. METHODS We identified 199 women with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer recommended for neoadjuvant chemotherapy who underwent interval debulking surgery from July 2015 to December 2018. Non-parametric tests were used to compare clinical characteristics by neoadjuvant cycles. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate differences in progression-free and overall survival. The log-rank test was used to assess the relationship of covariates to outcome. RESULTS The median number of neoadjuvant cycles was 4 (range 3-8), with 56 (28%) women receiving ≥5 cycles. Compared with those receiving 3 or 4, women with ≥5 neoadjuvant cycles received fewer or no post-operative cycles (p<0.001) but had no other differences in clinical factors (p>0.05). Complete gross resection rates were similar among those receiving 3, 4, and ≥5 neoadjuvant cycles (68.5%, 70%, and 71.4%, respectively, p=0.96). There were no significant differences in progression-free or overall survival when comparing 3 versus 4 neoadjuvant cycles. However, more cycles (≥5 vs 4) were associated with worse progression-free survival, even after adjustment for BRCA status and complete gross resection (HR 2.20, 95% CI 1.45 to 3.33, p<0.001), and worse overall survival, even after adjustment for histology, response on imaging, and complete gross resection rates (HR 2.78, 95% CI 1.37 to 5.63, p=0.016). The most common reason for receiving ≥5 cycles was extent of disease requiring more neoadjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Despite maximal cytoreduction, patients receiving ≥5 neoadjuvant cycles have a poorer prognosis than those receiving 3-4 cycles. Future studies should focus on reducing surgical morbidity and optimizing novel therapies in this high-risk group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We assessed the utility of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in defining extent of intrathoracic disease in advanced ovarian carcinoma with moderate-to-large pleural effusions. METHODS Beginning in 2001, VATS was performed on all patients with suspected advanced ovarian carcinoma and moderate-to-large pleural effusions, evaluating for macroscopic intrathoracic disease. The algorithm recommended primary debulking surgery (PDS) for ≤1 cm, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)/interval debulking surgery (IDS) for >1 cm intrathoracic disease. We reviewed records of patients undergoing VATS from 10/01-01/19. Differences between treatment groups were tested using standard statistical techniques. RESULTS One-hundred patients met eligibility criteria (median age, 60; median CA-125 level, 1158 U/mL; medium serum albumin, 3.8 g/dL). Macroscopic pleural disease was found in 70 (70%). After VATS, 50 (50%) underwent attempted PDS (PDS group), 50 (50%) received NACT (NACT/IDS group). Forty-seven (94%) underwent IDS. Median overall survival (OS) for the entire cohort (n = 100) was 44.5 months (95% CI: 37.8-51.7). The PDS group had significantly longer survival than the NACT/IDS group [45.8 (95% CI: 40.5-87.8) vs. 37.4 months (95% CI: 33.3-45.2); p = .016]. On multivariable analysis, macroscopic intrathoracic disease (HR 2.18, 95% CI: 1.14-4.18; p = .019) and age ≥ 65 (HR 1.98, 95% CI: 1.16-3.40; p = .013) were independently associated with elevated death risk. Patients with the best outcome had no macroscopic disease at VATS and underwent PDS (median OS, 87.8 months). CONCLUSIONS VATS is useful in therapeutic decision-making for PDS vs. NACT/IDS in advanced ovarian cancer with moderate-to-large pleural effusions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine surveillance patterns of stage I cervical cancer after cervical conization. METHODS A 25-question electronic survey was sent to members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology. Provider demographics, surveillance during year 1, years 1-3, and >3 years after cervical conization, use of pelvic examination, cytology, Human papillomavirus testing, colposcopy, and endocervical curettage were queried. Data were analyzed. RESULTS 239/1175 (20.1%) responses were collected over a 5-week study period. All providers identified as gynecologic oncologists. During year 1, 66.7% of providers perform pelvic examination and 37.1% perform cytology every 3 months. During years 1-3, 61.6% perform pelvic examination and 46% perform cytology every 6 months. At >3 years, 54.4% perform pelvic examination every 6 months and 43% perform annual pelvic examination. 66.7% of respondents perform cytology annually, and 51.9% perform annual Human papilloma virus testing. 85% of providers do not offer routine colposcopy and 60% do not offer endocervical curettage at any point during 5-year follow-up. 76.3% of respondents screen patients for Human papilloma virus vaccination. CONCLUSIONS To date, there are no specific surveillance guidelines for patients with stage I cervical cancer treated with cervical conization. The most common surveillance practice reported is pelvic examination with or without cytology every 3 months in year 1 and every 6 months thereafter. However, wide variation exists in visit frequency, cytology, and Human papillomavirus testing, and there is a clear trend away from using colposcopy and endocervical curettage. These disparate surveillance practices indicate a need for well-defined, uniform surveillance guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The spleen plays a role in the immune and coagulative responses, yet a splenectomy may be required during ovarian cancer surgery to achieve complete cytoreduction. The aim of the study was to correlate hematologic changes with the development of infection and venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing splenectomy. METHODS This single-institution retrospective review includes all patients undergoing splenectomy during cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer, March 2001 to December 2016. We compared postoperative hematologic changes (evaluated daily before discharge) in patients developing infection within 30 days' post-surgery (Infection group) with those who did not (No-Infection group). We also compared patients developing venous thromboembolism with those without. RESULTS A total of 265 patients underwent splenectomy. Median age was 64 years (range 22-88): 146 (55%) patients had stage IIIC and 114 (43%) patients had stage IV. The majority, 201 (76%) patients underwent splenectomy during primary debulking. A total of 132 (50%) patients comprised the Infection group (most common: urinary tract infection, 54%). Median time from surgery to infection was 8 days (range, 0-29). After initial rise in white blood cell count in both groups, the Infection group had a second peak on postoperative day 10 (median 16.6K/mcL, IQR 12.5-21.2) not seen in the No-Infection group (median 12K/mcL, IQR 9.3-16.3). A total of 40 (15%) patients developed venous thromboembolism, median time of 6.5 days (range, 1-43). All patients demonstrated a continuous rise in platelets during postoperative days 0-15. Thrombocytosis was present in 38/40 (95%) patients with venous thromboembolism vs 183/225 (81%) patients without (P=0.036). Median days with thrombocytosis was higher in venous thromboembolism (8 days, range 1-15) vs non groups (6 days, range 1-16, P=0.049). CONCLUSION We identified initial leukocytosis after splenectomy in all patients. The Infection group had a second peak in white blood cell count on postoperative day 10, not present in the No-Infection group. Among patients with venous thromboembolism, thrombocytosis was more frequent and of longer duration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Delays from primary surgery to chemotherapy are associated with worse survival in ovarian cancer, however the impact of delays from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to interval debulking surgery is unknown. We sought to evaluate the association of delays from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to interval debulking with survival. METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of stage III/IV ovarian cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy from July 2015 to December 2017 were included in our analysis. Delays from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to interval debulking were defined as time from last preoperative carboplatin to interval debulking >6 weeks. Fisher's exact/Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to compare clinical characteristics. The Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and multivariate Cox Proportional-Hazards models were used to estimate progression-free and overall survival and examine differences by delay groups, adjusting for covariates. RESULTS Of the 224 women, 159 (71%) underwent interval debulking and 34 (21%) of these experienced delays from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to interval debulking. These women were older (median 68 vs 65 years, P=0.05) and received more preoperative chemotherapy cycles (median 6 vs 4, P=0.003). Delays from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to interval debulking were associated with worse overall survival (HR 2.4 95% CI 1.2 to 4.8, P=0.01), however survival was not significantly shortened after adjusting for age, stage, and complete gross resection, HR 1.66 95% CI 0.8 to 3.4, P=0.17. Delays from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to interval debulking were not associated with worse progression-free survival (HR 1.55 95% CI 0.97 to 2.5, P=0.062). Increase in number of preoperative cycles (P=0.005) and lack of complete gross resection (P<0.001) were the only variables predictive of worse progression-free survival. DISCUSSION Delays from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to interval debulking were not associated with worse overall survival after adjustment for age, stage, and complete gross resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Reducing anastomotic leak rates after rectosigmoid resection and anastomosis is a priority in patients undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery. Therefore, we investigated the implications of performing near-infrared angiography (NIR) via proctoscopy to assess anastomotic perfusion at the time of rectosigmoid resection and anastomosis. METHODS We identified all patients who underwent rectosigmoid resection and anastomosis for a gynecologic malignancy between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2018. NIR proctoscopy was assessed via the PINPOINT Endoscopic Imaging System (Stryker). RESULTS A total of 410 patients were identified, among whom NIR was utilized in 133 (32.4%). There were no statistically significant differences in age, race, BMI, type of malignancy, surgery, histology, FIGO stage, hypertension, diabetes, or preoperative chemotherapy between NIR and non-NIR groups. All cases of rectosigmoid resection underwent stapled anastomosis. The anastomotic leak rate was 2/133 (1.5%) in the NIR cohort compared with 13/277 (4.7%) in the non-NIR cohort (p = 0.16). Diverting ostomy was performed in 9/133 (6.8%) NIR and 53/277 (19.9%) non-NIR patients (p < 0.001). Postoperative abscesses occurred in 8/133 (6.0%) NIR and 44/277 (15.9%) non-NIR patients (p = 0.004). The NIR cohort had significantly fewer post-operative interventional procedures (12/133, 9.0% NIR vs. 55/277, 19.9% non-NIR, p = 0.006) and significantly fewer 30-day readmissions (14/133, 10.5% NIR vs. 61/277, 22% non-NIR, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS NIR proctoscopy is a safe tool for assessing anastomotic rectal perfusion after rectosigmoid resection and anastomosis, with a low anastomotic leak rate of 1.5%. Its potential usefulness should be evaluated in randomized trials in patients undergoing gynecologic cancer surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of patient-reported lower-extremity lymphedema (LEL) with sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping versus comprehensive lymph node dissection (LND) for the surgical management of newly diagnosed endometrial carcinoma. METHODS Patients who underwent primary surgery for endometrial cancer from 01/2006-12/2012 were mailed a survey that included a validated 13-item LEL screening questionnaire in 08/2016. Patients diagnosed with LEL prior to surgery and those who answered ≤6 survey items were excluded. RESULTS Of 1275 potential participants, 623 (49%) responded to the survey and 599 were evaluable (180 SLN, 352 LND, 67 hysterectomy alone). Median BMI was similar among cohorts (P = 0.99). External-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) was used in 10/180 (5.5%) SLN and 35/352 (10%) LND patients (P = 0.1). Self-reported LEL prevalence was 27% (49/180) and 41% (144/352), respectively (OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.25-2.74; P = 0.002). LEL prevalence was 51% (23/45) in patients who received EBRT and 35% (170/487) in those who did not (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.06-3.6; P = 0.03). High BMI was associated with increased prevalence of LEL (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.02-1.06; P = 0.001). After controlling for EBRT and BMI, LND retained independent association with an increased prevalence of LEL over SLN (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.22-2.69; P = 0.003). Patients with self-reported LEL had significantly worse QOL compared to those without self-reported LEL. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to assess patient-reported LEL after SLN mapping for endometrial cancer. SLN mapping was independently associated with a significantly lower prevalence of patient-reported LEL. High BMI and adjuvant EBRT were associated with an increased prevalence of patient-reported LEL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We described progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with primary mucinous ovarian cancer receiving adjuvant gynecologic versus gastrointestinal chemotherapy regimens. METHODS We identified all primary mucinous ovarian cancer patients receiving adjuvant gynecologic or gastrointestinal chemotherapy regimens at a single institution from 1994 to 2016. Gynecologic pathologists using strict pathologic/clinical criteria determined diagnosis. Adjuvant therapy was coded as gynecologic or gastrointestinal based on standard agents and schedules. Clinical/pathologic/treatment characteristics were recorded. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for continuous variables, and Fisher's exact test for categorical variables. Progression-free and overall survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, applying landmark analysis. RESULTS Of 62 patients identified, 21 received adjuvant chemotherapy: 12 gynecologic, 9 gastrointestinal. Median age (in years) at diagnosis: 58 (range 25-68) gynecologic cohort, 38 (range 32-68) gastrointestinal cohort (p=0.13). Median body mass index at first post-operative visit: 25 kg/m2 (range 18-31) gynecologic cohort, 23 kg/m2 (range 18-31) gastrointestinal cohort (p=0.23). History of smoking: 6/12 (50%) gynecologic cohort, 3/9 (33%) gastrointestinal cohort (p=0.66). Stage distribution in gynecologic and gastrointestinal cohorts, respectively: stage I: 9/12 (75%) and 3/9 (33%); stage II: 2/12 (17%) and 1/9 (11%); stage III: 1/12 (8%) and 5/9 (56%) (p=0.06). Grade distribution in gynecologic and gastrointestinal cohorts, respectively: grade 1: 8/12 (67%) and 1/9 (13%); grade 2/3: 4/12 (33%) and 7/9 (88%) (p=0.03). Three-year progression-free survival: 90.9% (95% CI 50.8% to 98.7 %) gynecologic, 53.3% (95% CI 17.7% to 79.6%) gastrointestinal. Three-year overall survival: 90.9% (95% CI 50.8% to 98.7%) gynecologic, 76.2% (95% CI 33.2% to 93.5%) gastrointestinal. CONCLUSION Ongoing international collaborative research may further define associations between chemotherapy regimens and survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypersensitivity with repeated exposure to platinum agents is common and can preclude continued treatment, even in patients with disease that remains platinum sensitive. We sought to compare the effects of prophylactic, extended carboplatin infusion versus standard infusion on the rate of carboplatin hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) in women with recurrent ovarian cancer. METHODS This was a single-institution, randomized, nonblinded trial comparing a graded, 3-hour extended infusion of carboplatin with a standard 30-minute infusion in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who were enrolled from January 2011 to April 2015. The study was designed to detect a decrease in the HSR rate from 20% (standard infusion) to 5% (extended infusion) assuming a type 1 error of 10% and power of 80% using a 1-sided test. RESULTS Of 146 enrolled patients, 114 were evaluable. Fifteen (13%) had an HSR-11% (6/56) in the extended-infusion and 16% (9/58) in the standard-infusion groups (P = 0.582). Planned treatment completion was achieved in 50 (89%) of 56 patients and 49 (84%) of 58 patients, respectively. Of 25 patients who received single-agent carboplatin, 8 (32%) had an HSR (53% of all patients who had an HSR [8/15]). Of 23 patients who received carboplatin with gemcitabine, 4 (17%) had an HSR (27% of all patients who had an HSR [4/15]). Of 8 patients who received carboplatin with paclitaxel, 3 (38%) had an HSR (20% of all patients who had an HSR [3/15]). There were no HSRs with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, the most commonly given concurrent chemotherapy (46% of all patients). CONCLUSIONS A prophylactic, extended carboplatin infusion was not associated with a decreased HSR rate. The overall low HSR rate suggests that premedication may help reduce HSRs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Narrow band imaging (NBI) is an optic filtration enhancement for endoscopy that uses two wavelengths of light (415 and 540 nm) to highlight superficial microvascular patterns. It has been successfully utilized to improve identification of lesions with abnormal vasculature, which is associated with endometriosis and endometrial cancer. Case studies suggest it may also facilitate surgical staging of gynecologic cancer, which is critical in determining appropriate adjuvant therapies. A technology that enhances the ability to identify metastatic disease during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) could make an important difference in patient outcomes. METHODS A prospective comparative study was conducted to evaluate patients with clinical indication for diagnostic or operative laparoscopy. All received white light imaging followed by NBI during the same procedure. Suspicious lesions were examined and photographed, using both modalities, before excision. The two techniques were compared. Positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy in identifying histologically confirmed metastatic lesions were assessed, using appropriate statistical methods. RESULTS Of 124 patients enrolled in the study, 94 were evaluable; 30 did not undergo MIS and were therefore excluded. A significantly higher number of peritoneal abnormalities were identified with NBI versus white light imaging (P = 0.0239). However, no statistically significant difference (P = 0.18, patient level) was observed in identification of histologically confirmed metastatic disease. CONCLUSIONS NBI imaging provides a unique contrast between peritoneal surface and microvascular patterns. However, the results of this study suggest that NBI-enhanced laparoscopy does not provide superior detection of peritoneal surface malignancy compared with standard white light high-definition laparoscopy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical site infections (SSIs) can lead to substantial morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, increased costs, and death in patients undergoing colorectal procedures. We sought to investigate the effect of using an SSI reduction bundle on the rate of SSIs in gynecologic cancer patients undergoing colon surgery. METHODS We identified all gynecologic cancer patients who underwent colon resection at our institution from 2014 to 2016, during which time a service-wide SSI reduction bundle was introduced. The intervention included preoperative oral antibiotics with optional mechanical bowel preparation, skin preparation with antibacterial solution, and the use of a separate surgical closing tray. SSI rates were assessed within 30days post-surgery. RESULTS Of 233 identified patients, 115 had undergone colon surgery prior to (PRE) and 118 after (POST) the implementation of the intervention. A low anterior resection was the most common colon surgery in both cohorts. The incidence of SSI within 30days of surgery was 43/115 (37%) in the PRE and 14/118 (12%) in the POST cohorts (p≤0.001). Wound dehiscence was noted in 30/115 (26%) and 2/118 (2%) patients, respectively (p≤0.001). In patients whose operation took longer than 360min, 30-day SSI rates were 37% (28/76) and 12% (8/67), respectively (p≤0.001). In patients with an estimated blood loss >500cm3, SSI rates were 44% (27/62) and 15% (10/67), respectively (p≤0.001). CONCLUSIONS The implementation of an SSI reduction bundle was associated with a significant reduction in 30-day SSIs in these patients. The intervention remained effective in patients undergoing longer operations and in those with increased blood loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and primary debulking surgery (PDS) before and after results from a randomized trial were published and showed non-inferiority between NACT and PDS in the management of advanced-stage ovarian carcinoma. METHODS We evaluated consecutive patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer treated at our institution from 1/1/08-5/1/13, which encompassed 32 months before and 32 months after the randomized trial results were published. We included all newly diagnosed patients with high-grade histology and stage III/IV disease. Associations between the use of NACT and clinical variables over time were evaluated. RESULTS Our study included 586 patients. Median age was 62 years (range, 30-90); 406 patients (69%) had stage III disease, and 570 (97%) had disease of serous histology. Twenty-six percent (154/586) were treated with NACT and 74% (432/586) with PDS. NACT use increased significantly from 22% (56/256) before 2010 (at which point the results of the randomized trial were published) to 30% (98/330) after 2010 (p=0.037). Although patients who underwent PDS were more likely to experience grade 3/4 surgical complications than those who underwent NACT, those selected for PDS had a median OS of 71.7 months (CI, 59.8-not reached) compared with 42.9 months (CI 37.1-56.3) for those selected for NACT. CONCLUSIONS In this single-institution analysis, the best survival outcomes were observed in patients who were deemed eligible for PDS followed by platinum-based chemotherapy. Selection criteria for NACT require further definition and should take institutional surgical strategy into account.

Abstract
The molecular etiology of uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) is poorly understood, which accounts for the wide disparity in outcomes among women with this disease. We examined and compared the molecular profiles of ULMS and normal myometrium (NL) to identify clinically relevant molecular subtypes. Discovery cases included 29 NL and 23 ULMS specimens. RNA was hybridized to Affymetrix U133A 2.0 transcription microarrays. Differentially expressed genes and pathways were identified using standard methods. Fourteen NL and 44 ULMS independent archival samples were used for external validation. Molecular subgroups were correlated with clinical outcome. Pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes between ULMS and NL samples identified overrepresentation of cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, and genomic integrity. External validation confirmed differential expression in 31 genes (P < 4.4 × 10(-4), Bonferroni corrected), with 84% of the overexpressed genes, including CDC7, CDC20, GTSE1, CCNA2, CCNB1, and CCNB2, participating in cell cycle regulation. Unsupervised clustering of ULMS identified two clades that were reproducibly associated with progression-free (median, 4.0 vs 26.0 months; P = .02; HR, 0.33) and overall (median, 18.2 vs 77.2 months; P = .04; HR, 0.33) survival. Cell cycle genes play a key role in ULMS sarcomagenesis, providing opportunities for therapeutic targeting. Reproducible molecular subtypes associated with clinical outcome may permit individualized adjuvant treatment after clinical trial validation.

Abstract
In this study, a homologous gene named plzfa was identified and characterized in medaka Oryzias latipes. Oryzias latipes plzfa was detected in all the tissues including brain, gill, muscle, liver, intestine, kidney, spleen, testis and ovary using reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR. plzfa was detected in the oocytes of the ovary and in the spermatogonia and somitic cells of the testis by in situ hybridization. plzfa had a maternal origin with continuous and dynamic expression during embryonic development. plzfa was observed in the brain, neural rod and sensor organs including the eyes, ears and nose during embryogenesis. plzfa was also detected in the neural crest, somite, pectoral fin, intestine and skin. These results indicate that plzfa is a pleiotropic gene that may play major roles in various tissues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the volume of intracranial structures in fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS Total intracranial volume, frontal lobes volume, thalamus volume and cerebellar volume were prospectively evaluated and compared in 73 fetuses with CHD and 168 normal fetuses using three-dimensional ultrasound combined with post-processing software at 20 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks of gestation. Multiple regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for reduced volume of intracranial structures. RESULTS From the 28th week of gestation onwards, total brain volumes and those of specific structures became progressively smaller in fetuses with CHD relative to those in controls (P < 0.05). The decrease was largest in frontal lobes volume, followed by total intracranial volume and cerebellar volume, and the smallest decrease was in thalamus volume (P < 0.05). Multivariable analysis showed that the diagnostic category (P < 0.001) was independently associated with smaller brain volumes in fetuses with CHD. The largest differences from controls occurred in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), followed by aortic hypoplasia, transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). CONCLUSIONS The volume of intracranial structures is smaller in fetuses with CHD, particularly in those with HLHS, aortic hypoplasia or TGA. This study highlights the need for routine brain screening and early intervention to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in fetuses with CHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate patterns of recurrence and prognostic factors as well as the role of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II-IV ovarian SBT. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all patients with advanced-stage SBT treated at our institution from 1979 to 2008. Advanced stage was defined as FIGO stage II-IV. Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time of diagnosis to time of recurrence/death or last follow-up. Kaplan-Meier method was used to report the PFS rate. RESULTS A total of 80 stage II-IV patients were identified, of which 15 (19%) were stage II, 63 (79%) were stage III, and 2 (2.5%) were stage IV. The site of metastasis was pelvis in 15 patients (19%), omentum in 29 patients (36%), isolated lymph nodes in 2 patients (2.5%), lung in 1 patient (1%), axilla in 1 patient (1%), and multiple sites in 32 patients (40%). With a median follow-up of 4.8 years, 17 patients (21%) developed recurrent disease. Only patients with metastasis to the omentum or multiple sites developed recurrent disease. Of the 65 stage III/IV patients, 17 patients (26%) received adjuvant chemotherapy following diagnosis. The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 89.9% (95% CI, 77.3-95.7) for patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy compared with 70.6% (95% CI, 43.1-86.6) for patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS While advanced-stage ovarian SBT generally has a good prognosis, nearly 21% of patients develop recurrent disease with intermediate follow-up. It is unclear from these data if adjuvant chemotherapy influenced PFS.

Abstract
Background: MUC16 is a tethered, cell surface mucin which is over expressed on ovarian cancer cells and encodes the CA125 antigen. The CA125 antigen is present in the serum of women with ovarian cancer and appears to be an independent adverse marker of prognosis. Elements of the MUC16 molecule appear to promote invasion, alter gene expression and will induce malignant transformation in NIH 3T3 cells. We have previously demonstrated that MUC16 expression alters the expression of invasion/metastasis genes and genes linked to drug resistance. We hypothesize that the forced expression of MUC16 induces changes that might be relected in altered kinase activities and provides an opportunity to specifically target the MUC16+ ovarian cancer cell.
Methods: A human kinome siRNA library (2 siRNA's/well) was purchased from Qiagen. A2780 cells with and without MUC16 expression were labeled with GFP or mCherry Fluorescence proteins and plated in 96 well plates at 25000 cells/well. Each siRNA was plated into six replicate wells and analyzed for inhibition compared to negative controls and a proprietary “All Star Death” siRNA mix. If the candidate siRNA inhibited the proliferation of MUC16+ cells statistically (p<0.05) more than MUC16 negative cells at 72hrs, that siRNA was scored as a “hit”.
Results: To date, we have screened siRNA's for a total of 160 of the planned 714 kinases. From the initial screen, we identified 28 kinase candidates for additional evaluation. Two additional siRNA's per kinase were obtained for confirmatory screening. From this initial group of kinases, inhibition of 3 kinases (CHEK1, ABL1 and CDK4) were significantly more inhibitory for MUC16+ cells than the syngeneic MUC16- comparator. Eight additional kinases (including CSK, CHUK, ILK and LTK) were more inhibited in the MUC16+ cells for 3 of 4 tested siRNA's for the target kinase. Although CDK4 protein levels were not altered in MUC16 transformed A2780 cells, CDK4 inhibitors were differentially active between the MUC16 +/- syngeneic pair and additional testing with other small molecule inhibitors is ongoing.
Conclusions: 1)MUC16 expression alters the biologic behavior of ovarian cancer cells and 2)MUC16 targeted, syngeneic screening of kinase siRNA libraries can identify potential clinical target candidates for ovarian cancer selected for MUC16.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To present data on echocardiographic findings of fetal cardiac tumors and discuss their differential diagnoses. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 14 cases of fetal echogenic cardiac mass diagnosed between 1990 and 2003; 12 were confirmed to be cardiac tumors and two were false-positive diagnoses. The echocardiographic characteristics examined included number, size, location and associated complications. RESULTS Eight fetuses had a single tumor and four fetuses had multiple tumors. The left ventricle was most often affected. Parents of eight fetuses opted for termination of pregnancy, one fetus died in utero and three affected fetuses survived. Histopathological examination revealed cardiac rhabdomyoma in six fetuses, fibroma in two, teratoma in two, lipoma in one and hemangioma in one. The pitfalls associated with prenatal echocardiographic diagnosis of cardiac tumors include: they may be too small to be visualized, intracardiac echogenic foci may mimic tumors, and echogenicity resulting from extracardiac structures or neoplasms near the heart may falsely appear as tumors. CONCLUSION Fetal cardiac tumors can be detected by echocardiography. However, differential diagnosis is important as this will affect prognosis and subsequent management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of newly developed Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) for locating the early contraction sites in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. METHODS The time-sequential changes in ventricular wall motion of thirty-three patients suffering from WPW syndrome were examined by DTI. The pre-excitation site was represented as a red region appearing on the myocardium right after the delta wave of the electrocardiogram and confirmed by electrophysiology. RESULT Of 21 patients with left-sided accessory pathways, the early contractive sites were correctly identified by DTI in 18 patients, while the sites were determined by DTI in 8 of 12 patients with right-sided accessory pathways. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The DTI system is helpful to localize the accessory pathways and evaluate the results after radiofrequency ablation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of postprandial lipid changes on endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after a high-fat meal. METHODS We studied 50 CAD patients and 25 control participants, who were all normocholesterolemic. Flow-mediated vasodilatation of the brachial artery was evaluated by the high-resolution ultrasound technique before and after a single high-fat meal (800 calories; 50 g fat). RESULTS Postprandial serum triglyceride level increased significantly at 2-7 h and mean flow-mediated vasodilatation was impaired significantly (from 4.22 +/- 0.44 to 2.75 +/- 0.33%, P < 0.01) for 75 subjects. The increment in 2 h serum triglyceride level correlated positively with the decrement in postprandial flow-mediated vasodilatation (r = 0.459, P < 0.01). Postprandial triglyceride level was significantly higher in CAD patients than in control participants. Flow-mediated vasodilatation was significantly impaired in CAD patients (from 3.04 +/- 0.39 to 1.69 +/- 0.23%, P < 0.01) and control participants (from 6.58 +/- 0.52 to 4.87 +/- 0.19%, P < 0.05) after a high-fat meal. The impairment of flow-mediated dilatation was more severe in CAD patients (44.41%) than in control participants (25.99%, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Postprandial endothelium-dependent vasodilatation after a single high-fat meal was severely impaired in normocholesterolemic CAD patients and control participants. The disordered postprandial metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may play an atherogenic role by inducing endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in diagnosis of placenta previa. METHODS Transabdominal sonography(TAS) and TVS localization of the placenta were performed in 78 pregnant women after 35 week's gestation. It was suspected of having placenta previa when the placental edge appeared to be over or within 2 cm in diameter of the internal cervical os demonstrated by TAS or TVS. Final diagnosis depended on diagnosis at delivery. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, false-positive rate and coincidence rate were made in comparison between TVS and TAS. RESULTS The sensitivity, specificity, false-positive rate and coincidence rate of TVS were 100%, 90%, 10% and 93.6%, while that of TAS were 71.4%, 60%, 40% and 64.1%, respectively. The coincidence rate of TVS was better than TAS (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION TVS is superior to TAS in diagnosis of placenta previa.

Abstract
Low concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) have been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) even when the total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels are not elevated. The mechanism by which HDL confers protection against atherosclerosis remains speculative. Using high-resolution ultrasound, we measured the dilatation changes of brachial arteries during reactive hyperemia and after sublingual glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) in 63 patients with established (CHD) and 45 controls, in which the serum TC level was normal. The results showed that both flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and GTN-induced dilatation of brachial arteries in patients with CHD were much reduced compared with control group (2.31+/-2.46% vs. 7.43+/-4.10% and 16.41+/-6.15% vs. 22.44+/-8.63%, respectively, P<0.001 for all). Univariate analysis indicated that FMD of brachial arteries was inversely related to age (r=-0.226, P<0.05), hypertension (r=-0.229, P<0.05), baseline diameter (r=-0.299, P<0.01) and LDL-C (r=-0.237, P<0.05) and positively related to HDL-C (r=0.491, P<0.01). GTN induced vasodilatation was inversely related to age (r=-0.216, P<0. 05) and baseline diameter (-0.476, P<0.01). Multiple stepwise regression analyses in two groups taken together showed that HDL-C and age were the independent predictors of the FMD of brachial arteries (beta=0.466, P=0.000 and beta=-0.184, P=0.020, respectively). Baseline diameter was significant predictor of GTN-induced vasodilatation (beta=-0.390, P=0.000). The analysis in the group of CHD patients showed that only HDL-C was significantly relate to the FMD of brachial arteries (beta=0.295, P=0.018 ) and in controls that hypertension and HDL-C were significantly relate to the FMD of brachial arteries (beta=-0.395, P=0.004 and beta=0.344, P=0.011, respectively). These finding suggest that endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilatation are impaired in the patients with CHD. HDL exerts a protective effect on endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in TC being relatively normal population.

Abstract
Endothelium plays a pivotal role in the development of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction participates in the course of acute coronary event. Using high-resolution ultrasound technique, endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated in patients with atherosclerosis and risk factors for coronary disease, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and being smokers. In the present study, using this non-invasive method, the endothelial function of the brachial artery of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) (n = 71) and control subjects (n = 34) was investigated. The results showed that endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilatation were impaired in patients with CHD (2.61+/-2.91 vs. 8.10+/-7.81%, 17.20+/-7.93 vs. 23.19+/-8.89%, respectively) (P<0.001). Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was significantly positively correlated with nitroglycerine-induced dilation (P<0.001). On univariate and multivariate analysis, the extent of FMD was significantly correlated with serum HDL-C levels (P<0.01). In conclusion, our study indicates both endothelial and underlying smooth muscle functions were impaired in patients with CHD. Decreased HDL-C levels may impair endothelial function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the correlation between endothelial vasodilation and left ventricular diastolic function. BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that similar neurohumoral factors are involved in myocardial and vascular endothelial impairment. The degree of endothelial dysfunction is related to the clinical severity of the heart failure. However, it is not clear whether endothelial dysfunction develops with the progression of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. We hypothesize that the endothelial dysfunction is associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. METHODS Using high-resolution ultrasound, we measured the dilator response of the brachial artery to hyperemia (endothelium-dependent vasodilation) and to 0.5 mg nitroglycerin (endothelium-independent vasodilation), and measured peak velocities of the early wave (Evmax) and the atrial wave (Avmax) in 40 coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and 20 normal subjects. We analyzed the relationship between the Evmax/Avmax ratio and endothelium-dependent vasodilation. RESULTS The results showed that endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilation as well as the Evmax/Avmax ratio were lower in the CHD group than those in the control group (4.29%+/-1.42%, 17.58%+/-2.99%, 0.81+/-0.24 vs. 9.62%+/-2.34%, 24.18%+/-3.15%, 1.07+/-0.29, respectively, P<0.01). The Evmax/Avmax ratio was related to endothelium-dependent vasodilation (r=0.45, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that the development of endothelial dysfunction was associated with the progression of myocardial diastolic dysfunction, which suggests that the same mechanisms may be involved in the impairment of endothelium and myocardium.

Abstract
Blood flow spectra of left ventricular inflow and outflow of the fetus were measured by pulsed Doppler echocardiography in 82 cases who were diagnosed as fetal arrhythmia clinically. By analysing the order of atrio- ventricular excitation, the spectral characters and the relationship of time- phase, the classification of fetal arrhythmia was confirmed. Among the 82 cases, there were 17 cases of sinus bradycardia, 16 cases of sinus tachycardia, 28 cases of atrial premature beats, 16 cases of ventricular premature beats, 3 cases of II degrees atrioventricular conduction block, 2 cases of atrial fibrillation. These common spectral characters of fetal arrhythmia were confirmed by the examination of neonatal Doppler echocardiography and ECG. This study indicated that this method could be used as one of the diagnostic methods for fetal arrhythmia.
