Abstract
AIM Quality of care is important to reduce disease progression, and improve both survival and quality of life. The Japan Society of Gynecologic Oncology has published treatment guidelines to promote standardized high-quality care for ovarian cancer in Japan. We developed quality indicators based on the guideline recommendations and used them on large datasets of health service use to examine the quality of ovarian cancer care. METHODS A panel of experts developed the indicators using a modified Delphi method. Adherence to each indicator was evaluated using data from a hospital-based cancer registry of patients diagnosed in 2018. All patients receiving first-line treatment at participating facilities were included. The adherence rates were returned to participating hospitals, and reasons for nonadherence were collected. A total of 580 hospitals participated, and the study examined the care received by 6611 patients with ovarian cancer and 1879 with borderline tumors using 11 measurable quality indicators. RESULTS The adherence rate ranged from 22.6% for "Estrogen replacement within 6 months of operation" to 93.5% for "Bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin for germ cell tumor more than Stage II." Of 580 hospitals, 184 submitted the reasons for nonadherence. CONCLUSIONS The quality of ovarian cancer care should be continuously assessed to encourage the use of best practices. These indicators may be a useful tool for this purpose.

Abstract
The Japan Society of Gynecologic Oncology (JSGO) Guidelines 2022 for the Treatment of Uterine Cervical Cancer are revised from the 2017 guideline. This guideline aimed to provide standard care for cervical cancer, indicate appropriate current treatment methods for cervical cancer, minimize variances in treatment methods among institutions, improve disease prognosis and treatment safety, reduce the economic and psychosomatic burden of patients by promoting the performance of appropriate treatment, and enhance mutual understanding between patients and healthcare professionals. The guidelines were prepared through the consensus of the JSGO Guideline Committee, based on a careful review of evidence gathered through the literature searches and the medical health insurance system and actual clinical practice situations in Japan. The guidelines comprise seven chapters and 5 algorithms. The main features of the 2022 revision are as follows: 1) added discussed points at the final consensus meeting; 2) revised the treatment methods based on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 staging system; 3) examined minimally invasive surgery based on Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer trial; 4) added clinical question (CQ) for treatments of rare histological types, gastric type, and small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma; 5) added CQ for intensity-modulated radiation therapy; 6) added CQ for cancer genomic profiling test; and 7) added CQ for cancer survivorship. Each recommendation is accompanied by a classification of recommendation categories based on the consensus reached by the Guideline Committee members. Here, we present the English version of the JSGO Guidelines 2022 for the Treatment of Uterine Cervical Cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Recently, inactivating somatic mutations of SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling genes in cancers have been reported. However, few studies have been performed regarding the immunological analysis of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in chromatin remodeling complex gene-mutated tumors. In the present study, we identified cancer patients harboring various mammalian SWI/SNF complex mutations and investigated the immunological features in those mutated cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cancer patients harboring any type of chromatin remodeling complex gene mutation were selected and clinicopathological features were compared between chromatin remodeling complex gene expression-low and expression-high groups. Specifically, expression levels of immune response-associated genes and cancer-associated genes were compared between the SMARCA4 expression-low and expression-high groups using volcano plot analysis. RESULTS Among cancers harboring PBRM1, SAMRACA4 and ARID2 gene mutations, T-cell marker and mature B-cell marker genes were up-regulated in the tumor. Specifically, T-cell effector genes (CD8B, CD40LG), central memory marker genes (CD27, CCR7) and mature B-cell marker genes (CD20, CD38, CD79 and IRF4) were up-regulated, and cancer-associated genes including MYB, MYC and AURKB genes were down-regulated in the SMARCA4 expression-low group. Remarkably, heatmap of gene expression and immunohistochemistry (IHC) data demonstrated that the tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) gene signature of mature B cells was up-regulated in SMACA4 gene-mutated stomach cancers. CONCLUSION These results suggest that immune tumor microenvironment status, such as mature B cell recruitment featuring the TLS gene signature and immune activation mediated by cancer signal down-regulation, might contribute to the classification of SMARCA4 gene-mutated tumors as immune checkpoint blockade therapy-sensitive target tumors.

Abstract
The first prophylactic vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and HPV18 was licensed in Japan in 2009. HPV vaccine effectiveness against high-grade cervical lesions has been demonstrated among young Japanese women, but evidence of its effects on invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is lacking. Using data from two different cancer registries, we compared recent trends of new ICC cases by age group using Poisson regression analysis. We also analyzed time trends in HPV16/18 prevalence among 1414 Japanese women aged <40 years newly diagnosed with ICC in the past decade. Based on the population-based cancer registry, the incidence of ICC among young women aged 20-29 years showed a significant decline from 3.6 to 2.8 per 100 000 women-years during 2016-2019, but no similar decline was observed for older age groups (p < 0.01). Similarly, using data from the gynecological cancer registry of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the annual number of ICCs among women aged 20-29 years also decreased from 256 cases to 135 cases during 2011-2020 (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, a declining trend in HPV16/18 prevalence in ICC was observed only among women aged 20-29 years during 2017-2022 (90.5%-64.7%, p = 0.05; Cochran-Armitage trend test). This is the first report to suggest population-level effects of HPV vaccination on ICC in Japan. Although the declining trend in HPV16/18 prevalence among young women with ICC supports a causal linkage between vaccination and results from cancer registries, further studies are warranted to confirm that our findings are attributable to vaccination.

Abstract
Immunogenic neoantigens derived from somatic mutations in cancer have been identified through clinical studies with the cloning of tumor-infiltrating T cells, and cancer driver gene mutation-derived epitopes have been reported; however, these are rare. At present, the validation of epitopes predicted in silico is difficult as human T-cell clonal diversity cannot be reproduced in vitro or in experimental animal models. To confirm the epitope peptides presented by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules predicted in silico, biochemical methods such as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) stabilization assays and mass spectrometry-mediated identification have been developed based on HLA-A*02:01 monoallelic T2 cells and HLA-C*01:02 monoallelic LCL721.221 cells. Therefore, in the present study, to prevent confusion due to peptide cross-presentation among HLA molecules, HLA class I monoallelic B-cell clones were generated from the TISI cell line by knocking out HLA-ABC and TAP2, and knocking in HLA alleles. To explore cancer driver mutations as potential targets for immunotherapy, exome sequencing data from 5,143 patients with cancer enrolled in a comprehensive genome analysis project at the Shizuoka Cancer Center were used to identify somatic amino acid substituted mutations and the 50 most frequent mutations in five genes, TP53, EGFR, PIK3CA, KRAS and BRAF, were identified. Using NetMHC4.1, the present study predicted whether epitopes derived from these mutations are presented on major HLA-ABC alleles in Japanese individuals and synthesized 138 peptides for MHC stabilization assays. The authors also attempted to examine the candidate epitopes at physiological temperatures by using antibody clone G46-2.6, which can detect HLA-ABC, independent of β2-microglobulin association. In the assays, although the peptide-induced HLA expression levels were associated with the predicted affinities, the respective HLA alleles exhibited varying degrees of responsiveness, and unexpectedly, p53-mutant epitopes with predicted weak affinities exhibited strong responses. These results suggested that MHC stabilization assays using completely monoallelic HLA-expressing B-cell lines are useful for evaluating the presentation of neoantigen epitopes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) with a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, in patients with uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) expressing HER2. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with recurrent UCS with HER2 immunohistochemistry scores ≥1+ previously treated with chemotherapy were included. Patients were assigned to the HER2-high (immunohistochemistry score ≥2+; n = 22) or low (immunohistochemistry score of 1+; n = 10) groups for primary and exploratory analyses, respectively. Trastuzumab deruxtecan 6.4 or 5.4 mg/kg was administered intravenously once every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Dose modification was based on the updated recommended phase II dose for breast cancer to be 5.4 mg/kg. The primary end point was the objective response rate by central review in the HER2-high group. Secondary end points included the overall response rate (ORR) in the HER2-high group by investigator assessment, ORR in the HER2-low group, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS The ORR by central review in the HER2-high and HER2-low groups were 54.5% (95% CI, 32.2 to 75.6) and 70.0% (95% CI, 34.8 to 93.3) and those by investigator assessments were 68.2% and 60.0%, respectively. The median PFS and OS in the HER2-high and HER2-low groups were 6.2 and 13.3 months and 6.7 months and not reached, respectively. Grade ≥ 3 adverse events occurred in 20 patients (61%). Grades 1-2 and 3 pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease occurred in eight (24%) and one (3%) patient, respectively. CONCLUSION Trastuzumab deruxtecan has efficacy in patients with UCS, regardless of HER2 status. The safety profile was generally consistent with that previously reported. Toxicities were manageable with appropriate monitoring and treatment.

Abstract
To examine the effectiveness of progestin re-treatment for recurrent endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN), atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AH) and endometrial cancer (EC) following initial fertility-sparing treatment. A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted by an Expert Panel of the Japan Society of Gynecologic Oncology Endometrial Cancer Committee. Multiple search engines, including PubMed/MEDLINE and the Cochrane Database, were searched in December 2021 using the keywords "Endometrial neoplasms," "Endometrial hyperplasia," "Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia," "Fertility preservation," "Progestins," AND "Recurrence." Cases describing progestin re-treatment for recurrent EIN, AH and EC were compared with cases that underwent conventional hysterectomy. The primary outcomes were survival and disease recurrence, and the secondary outcome was pregnancy. After screening 238 studies, 32 with results for recurrent treatment were identified. These studies included 365 patients (270 received progestin re-treatment and 95 underwent hysterectomy). Most progestin re-treatment involved medroxyprogesterone acetate or megestrol acetate (94.5%). Complete remission (CR) following progestin re-treatment was achieved in 219 (81.1%) cases, with 3-, 6- and 9-month cumulative CR rates of 22.8%, 51.7% and 82.6%, respectively. Progestin re-treatment was associated with higher risk of disease recurrence than conventional hysterectomy was (odds ratio [OR]=6.78; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.99-23.10), and one patient (0.4%) died of disease. Fifty-one (14.0%) women became pregnant after recurrence, and progestin re-treatment demonstrated a possibility of pregnancy (OR=2.48; 95% CI=0.94-6.58). This meta-analysis suggests that repeat progestin therapy is an effective option for women with recurrent EIN, AH and EC, who wish to retain their fertility.

Abstract
Although geographical differences in the distribution of human papillomavirus genotypes have been observed worldwide, no studies have reported on national differences in the prevalence of human papillomavirus types in Japan. Here, we report a cross-sectional study to explore regional differences in the prevalence of human papillomavirus types among Japanese women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or invasive cervical cancer. Using human papillomavirus genotyping data from the nationwide prospective study on human papillomavirus vaccine effectiveness, we compared the frequency of detection of 15 high-risk and two low-risk human papillomavirus types in each disease category between the women who visited hospitals located in eastern Japan and those who visited hospitals located in western Japan. The risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia progression was assessed by calculating a prevalence ratio of each human papillomavirus type for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 versus grade 1. Among the human papillomavirus types studied, human papillomavirus 52 was detected significantly more frequently in western hospitals than in eastern hospitals in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 patients, but was less frequent in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3. The prevalence of particular human papillomavirus types was not significantly different between patients in hospitals in eastern Japan and those in hospitals in western Japan for invasive cervical cancer. In both eastern and western hospitals, a higher risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia progression was observed in patients infected with human papillomavirus 16, 31 or 58. In contrast, there was a significantly higher prevalence of human papillomavirus 52 infection in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 than in those with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 in eastern hospitals (prevalence ratio, 1.93; 95% confidence interval, 1.48-2.58), but not in western hospitals (prevalence ratio, 1.03; 95% confidence interval, 0.83-1.30). Regional differences of human papillomavirus 52 prevalence in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia lesions may exist and emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring of human papillomavirus type prevalence throughout the country in order to accurately assess the efficacy of human papillomavirus vaccines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many reports demonstrate that a high tumor mutation burden (TMB-H) is closely associated with good prognosis of cancer. However, specific studies investigating the association of various TMB statuses with overall survival in patients with solid tumors are scarce. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the present study, we investigated the association of TMB status with overall survival in 5,072 patients with cancer from the HOPE project and clarified the specific mechanism responsible for the good prognosis of the TMB-H group. All tumors were classified into one of four groups based on TMB: ultralow (UL), low (L), intermediate (I) and high (H). RESULTS The TMB-H group had a better prognosis than the TMB-I and TMB-L groups, but not than the TMB-UL group. Analyzing the expression of 293 immune response-associated genes, 17 genes were up-regulated in the TMB-H group compared to the TMB-I and TNB-L groups, and two genes [CD274 and interferon-γ (IFNG)] were identified as good prognostic factors. Analysis of immune cell populations inside tumors demonstrated that the frequencies of exhausted CD8+ T-cells, activated effector CD8+ T-cells and natural killer cells were significantly higher in the TMB-H group. The T-cell receptor repertoire numbers and the diversity evenness score (DE50) were lower in the TMB-H group than in TMB-UL group; however, no association of the DE50 value with the binding or elution affinity of epitope peptides from neoantigens was found. CONCLUSION One possible mechanism for the good prognosis of the TMB-UL group compared to the TMB-H group might be that the TMB-UL group features a balance between immunosuppression and immunostimulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pan-cancer analysis across The Cancer Genome Atlas has revealed the molecular profiles of major types of carcinomas. High-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) have been characterized; however, in ovarian cancer, the profile of carcinoma with minor histopathological changes remains unclear. This study aimed to perform the molecular profiling of rare malignant ovarian tumors, including non-epithelial tumors (NETs; germ cell tumors and sex cord tumors) and clear cell carcinoma (CCC), to determine how they differ from the major HGSCs. METHODS Sixty-nine malignant ovarian tumors surgically resected at the Shizuoka Cancer Center between January 2014 and March 2019 were classified based on their histopathological types. The germline and somatic mutations in these carcinomas, including NETs, were determined using next-generation sequencing. Gene expression analysis was performed to investigate the major pathways of drug resistance, which is a characteristic of CCC. RESULTS NETs harbored copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity, accompanied by a high homologous recombination deficiency score; germline mutations of PALB2 and BARD1 were identified in two patients with NET. In chemoresistant CCC, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition pathway was activated regardless of ABC transporter expression. CONCLUSION This study revealed some genomic characteristics of rare malignant ovarian tumors, including NETs and CCC.

Abstract
3090 Background: MORAb-202 is an ADC consisting of farletuzumab (an antibody that binds to FRα) paired with eribulin mesylate (a microtubule dynamics inhibitor) conjugated via a cathepsin B-cleavable linker. A phase 1 dose-escalation and expansion study in patients with advanced solid tumors evaluated MORAb-202 doses ranging from 0.3 mg/kg to 1.2 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks (Shimizu 2021, CCR). The dose-expansion part included starting doses of 0.9 mg/kg and 1.2 mg/kg in an ovarian cancer (OC) cohort. Objective response rates (ORR) by investigator per RECIST v1.1 and rates of all-grade interstitial lung disease (ILD), an adverse event of interest, were lower at the 0.9 mg/kg dose vs the 1.2 mg/kg dose. To support dose optimization for clinical benefit while reducing the risk of ILD, a MORAb-202 PPK model was developed to characterize the pharmacokinetics and to obtain model-predicted exposure measures. Methods: Exposure was predicted for different dosing scenarios: flat dosing, bodyweight (BW)-based dosing with or without a dose cap, adjusted ideal BW dosing, and body surface area (BSA)-based dosing. E-R analyses for efficacy (ie, ORR) and safety (ie, ILD by expert review) were conducted using logistic-regression analysis. Simulations (N = 1000) were performed using a BW distribution from a previous phase 3 farletuzumab study in OC (Vergote 2016, JCO) to predict the probability of ORR and ILD in patients treated with MORAb-202. Results: MORAb-202 exposures were dose proportional, and the pharmacokinetics were described by a 2-compartment model with zero-order IV infusion and first-order elimination. Patients with higher BW had less-than-proportional increases in clearance (allometric exponent [AE] 0.571) and distribution volume (AE 0.524). MORAb-202 demonstrated a positive exposure (based on area under the curve [AUC]) dependence to ORR and ILD. The probability of achieving a tumor response was higher with higher AUC (odds ratio [OR] for an AUC unit change of 1000 µg•h/mL: 1.73 [95% CI 1.06–3.11]). The probability of an ILD event was higher with higher AUC (OR for an AUC unit change of 1000 µg•h/mL: 3.50 [95% CI 1.89–7.81]). Simulations across BW ranges (34.2–144 kg) indicated that BSA-based dosing (33 mg/m2), compared with BW-based dosing (0.9 mg/kg), yielded similar predicted median (90% prediction interval) rates for ORR (33.7% [19.3–62.2] vs 37.9% [20.6–67.5]) and all-grade ILD (46.8% [18.2–88.2] vs 55.1% [20.7–91.9]). However, BSA-based dosing is predicted to reduce ILD in the highest BW quartile (> 80–144 kg) by approximately 35% compared with BW-based dosing. Conclusions: Based on this assessment, BSA-based dosing is predicted to lower the exposure-dependent ILD risk in patients with higher BW and is being further evaluated in ongoing clinical studies. Clinical trial information: NCT03386942.

Abstract
5513 Background: MORAb-202 is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of farletuzumab (an antibody that binds to folate receptor alpha [FRα]) paired with eribulin mesylate (a microtubule dynamics inhibitor) conjugated via a cathepsin-B–cleavable linker. The dose-escalation part of this phase 1 study confirmed antitumor activity in pts with ovarian cancer (Shimizu 2021, CCR); based on efficacy and safety, MORAb-202 0.9 mg/kg and 1.2 mg/kg Q3W were chosen as doses for the expansion part of this study in pts with PROC. Methods: The primary objective for the expansion part of this phase 1 study conducted in Japan was to define the safety and tolerability of MORAb-202. Secondary objectives included PK characterization and efficacy assessment (best overall response, objective response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival). Eligible pts included those who had received ≤2 regimens of chemotherapy after diagnosis of PROC, had measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, and an ECOG PS of ≤1. Pts (except those with high grade serous histology) in the expansion phase were required to be FRα positive. The expansion phase began at the 0.9 mg/kg dose (Cohort 1); Cohort 2 (1.2 mg/kg) was initiated after safety assessment of Cohort 1 was completed. Tumor responses were assessed per RECIST v1.1 by investigator. Results: Twenty-four pts were treated in Cohort 1 and 21 pts were treated in Cohort 2. Grade ≥3 TEAEs occurred in 33.3% of pts in Cohort 1 and 28.6% of pts in Cohort 2. The most common TEAE was interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis at both dose levels (Cohort 1: 37.5% [n=9; 8 with grade 1, 1 with grade 2]; Cohort 2: 66.7% [n=14; 6 with grade 1, 7 with grade 2, 1 with grade 3]). Other common TEAEs of any grade were nausea (25.0%; 33.3%), pyrexia (33.3%; 42.9%), malaise (16.7%; 28.6%), and headache (12.5%; 47.6%), in Cohorts 1 and 2, respectively. ORR was 25.0% and 52.4% in Cohorts 1 and 2, respectively (Table). Antitumor activity was observed across FRα-expression levels (<50% and ≥50%) and will be presented. Conclusions: In the PROC population, antitumor activity was seen with both the MORAb-202 0.9 mg/kg and 1.2 mg/kg doses. While pt numbers were small, efficacy was observed irrespective of FRα-expression levels. ILD/pneumonitis was the most common TEAE and was low grade in most pts. Dose optimization is ongoing to maximize the benefit/risk profile of MORAb-202. Clinical trial information: NCT03386942. [Table: see text]

Abstract
New treatments, particularly second‐line options, are needed to improve outcomes for patients with recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC). Tisotumab vedotin (TV) is an antibody–drug conjugate directed to tissue factor, a transmembrane protein commonly expressed in cancer cells, to deliver cytotoxic monomethyl auristatin E. This single‐arm, open‐label phase 1/2 trial evaluated the consistency of safety and efficacy outcomes of TV in Japanese patients with r/mCC to bridge the current findings with those reported in previous trials in non‐Japanese patients in the United States and Europe. In part 1 (dose escalation; N = 6), patients with advanced solid tumors received TV 1.5 or 2.0 mg/kg once every 3 weeks to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Part 2 (dose expansion; N = 17) evaluated the RP2D in r/mCC patients with 1–2 prior lines of therapy. In part 1, no dose‐limiting toxicities were observed, the MTD was not reached, and TV 2.0 mg/kg was established as the RP2D. In part 2, the most common treatment‐emergent adverse events were anemia (58.8%), nausea (58.8%), alopecia (47.1%), epistaxis (47.1%), and diarrhea (35.3%); adverse events of special interest were bleeding (76.5%), ocular events (35.3%), and peripheral neuropathy (17.6%), and were mostly grade 1/2. In part 2, confirmed objective response rate was 29.4%, median duration of response was 7.1 months, and median time to response was 1.2 months. In Japanese patients with r/mCC, TV demonstrated a manageable and tolerable safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy profile consistent with that observed in non‐Japanese patients.

Abstract
Sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS) is used in clinical practice for the treatment of cervical cancer. This study aimed to elucidate the appropriate sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping method and assess the safety and benefits of SNNS. We searched the PubMed, Ichushi, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials (RCT) and studies on SLN in cervical cancer from January 2012 to December 2020. Two authors independently assessed study quality and extracted data. We quantitatively analyzed the detection rate, sensitivity/specificity, and complications and reviewed information, including the survival data of SLN biopsy (SLNB) without pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLND). The detection rate of SLN mapping in the unilateral pelvis was median 95.7% and 100% and in the bilateral pelvis was median 80.4% and 90% for technetium-99 m (Tc) with/without blue dye (Tc w/wo BD) and indocyanine green (ICG) alone, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of each tracer were high; the area under the curve of each tracer was 0.988 (Tc w/wo BD), 0.931 (BD w/wo Tc), 0.966 (ICG), and 0.977 (carbon nanoparticle). Morbidities including lymphedema, neurological symptoms and blood loss were associated with PLND. One RCT and five studies all showed SNNS without systematic PLND does not impair recurrence or survival in early-stage cervical cancer with a tumor size ≤ 2-4 cm. Both Tc w/wo BD and ICG are appropriate SLN tracers. SNNS can reduce the morbidities associated with PLND without affecting disease progression in early-stage cervical cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This multicenter, open-label, phase II study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel-carboplatin, bevacizumab, and bevacizumab-based maintenance therapy for metastatic, recurrent, and persistent uterine cervical cancer. METHODS Patients with measurable diseases that were not adapted to regional therapies, such as surgery or radiotherapy, and were systematic chemotherapy-naïve were eligible. The participants received paclitaxel (175 mg/m2), carboplatin (AUC 5), and bevacizumab (15 mg/m2) every three weeks until disease progression or unacceptable adverse events occurred. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), safety, and time to treatment failure. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients were analyzed using our protocol. The median paclitaxel- carboplatin therapy duration was six cycles; 40% of patients received bevacizumab maintenance therapy. The median PFS was 11.3 months. The median OS was not reached; the median time to treatment failure was 5.9 months. The ORR was 79.7% [95% confidence interval (CI) 63.8-88.4]; 16 patients (23.2%) showed complete response (CR) and 39 patients (56.5%) showed partial response (PR). The median PFS was 14.3 months (95% CI 7.3-17 months) for the 25 patients who received maintenance therapy and 7.4 months (95% CI 6.1-11 months) for nonrecipients (p = 0.0449). Gastrointestinal perforation/fistulas occurred in four patients (5.6%), all of whom had a history of radiation therapy. CONCLUSIONS Paclitaxel-carboplatin and bevacizumab therapy is an acceptable and tolerable treatment for advanced or recurrent cervical cancer.

Abstract
In Japan, the National Immunization Program against human papillomavirus (HPV) targets girls aged 12‐16 years, and catch‐up vaccination is recommended for young women up to age 26 years. Because HPV infection rates increase soon after sexual debut, we evaluated HPV vaccine effectiveness by age at first vaccination. Along with vaccination history, HPV genotyping results from 5795 women younger than 40 years diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2‐3 (CIN2‐3), adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), or invasive cervical cancer were analyzed. The attribution of vaccine‐targeted types HPV16 or HPV18 to CIN2‐3/AIS was 47.0% for unvaccinated women (n = 4297), but 0.0%, 13.0%, 35.7%, and 39.6% for women vaccinated at ages 12‐15 years (n = 36), 16‐18 years (n = 23), 19–22 years (n = 14), and older than 22 years (n = 91), respectively, indicating the greater effectiveness of HPV vaccination among those initiating vaccination at age 18 years or younger (P < .001). This finding was supported by age at first sexual intercourse; among women with CIN2‐3/AIS, only 9.2% were sexually active by age 14 years, but the percentage quickly increased to 47.2% by age 16 and 77.1% by age 18. Additionally, the HPV16/18 prevalence in CIN2‐3/AIS was 0.0%, 12.5%, and 40.0% for women vaccinated before (n = 16), within 3 years (n = 8), and more than 3 years after (n = 15) first intercourse, respectively (P = .004). In conclusion, our data appear to support routine HPV vaccination for girls aged 12‐14 years and catch‐up vaccination for adolescents aged 18 years and younger in Japan.

Abstract
Background Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a key marker for predicting the response of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and for screening Lynch syndrome (LS). Aim This study aimed to see the characteristics of cancers with high level of MSI (MSI-H) in genetic medicine and precision medicine. Methods This study analyzed the incidence of MSI-H in 1000 cancers and compared according to several clinical and demographic factors. Results The incidence of MSI-H was highest in endometrial cancers (26.7%, 20/75), followed by small intestine (20%, 3/15) and colorectal cancers (CRCs)(13.7%, 64/466); the sum of these three cancers (15.6%) was significantly higher than that of other types (2.5%)(P < 0.0001). MSI-H was associated with LS-related cancers (P < 0.0001), younger age (P = 0.009), and family history, but not with smoking, drinking, or serum hepatitis virus markers. In CRC cases, MSI-H was significantly associated with a family history of LS-related cancer (P < 0.0001), Amsterdam II criteria [odds ratio (OR): 5.96], right side CRCs (OR: 4.89), and multiplicity (OR: 3.31). However, MSI-H was very rare in pancreatic (0.6%, 1/162) and biliary cancers (1.6%, 1/64) and was null in 25 familial pancreatic cancers. MSI-H was more recognized in cancers analyzed for genetic counseling (33.3%) than in those for ICI companion diagnostics (3.1%)(P < 0.0001). Even in CRCs, MSI-H was limited to 3.3% when analyzed for drug use. Conclusions MSI-H was predominantly recognized in LS-related cancer cases with specific family histories and younger age. MSI-H was limited to a small proportion in precision medicine especially for non-LS-related cancer cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify pathways for potential therapeutic targets by conducting molecular profiling of endometrial carcinomas in patients with poor prognosis. METHODS The classification of endometrial carcinomas has undergone a paradigm shift with the advent of next generation sequencing based molecular profiling. Although this emerging classification reflects poor prognosis in patients with endometrial carcinoma, knowledge of affected biological pathways is still lacking. In this study, 85 patients with endometrial carcinomas at the Shizuoka Cancer Center were evaluated from January 2014 to March 2019 and classified based on The Cancer Genome Atlas subgroups. The accumulation of germline and somatic mutations was determined using next generation sequencing. Gene expression profiling was used to determine the effect of TP53 inactivation on the recurrence of endometrial carcinoma. Additionally, the biological pathways associated with TP53 inactivation were estimated by pathway analysis based on gene expression. RESULTS Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas classification, the ratio of polymerase-epsilon to copy number-high subgroups and the frequency of PTEN and TP53 mutations differed in patients, and mutations of ARHGAP35 observed in normal endometrium were accumulated in the polymerase-epsilon and microsatellite instability subgroups. We revealed that copy number-high reflects TP53 inactivation in endometrial carcinomas, and that TP53-inactive tumors with or without TP53 mutations have poor prognosis. Furthermore, overexpression of aurora kinase A and activation of oxidative phosphorylation were found in TP53-inactivated endometrial carcinomas, suggesting that the PI3K/mTOR and autophagy pathways are potential drug targets. CONCLUSION Our analysis revealed a relationship between pathways involved in oxidative phosphorylation and poor prognosis and provides insight into potential drug targets.

Abstract
Project High-tech Omics-based Patient Evaluation (HOPE), which used whole-exome sequencing and gene expression profiling, was launched in 2014. A total of ~2,000 patients were enrolled until March 2016, and the survival time was observed up to July 2019. In our previous study, a tumor microenvironment immune type classification based on the expression levels of the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and CD8B genes was performed based on four types: A, adaptive immune resistance; B, intrinsic induction; C, immunological ignorance; and D, tolerance. Type A (PD-L1+ and CD8B+) exhibited upregulated features of T helper 1 antitumor responses. In the present study, survival time analysis at 5 years revealed that patients in type A had a better prognosis than those in other categories [5 year survival rate (%); A (80.5) vs. B (73.9), C (73.4) and D (72.6), P=0.0005]. Based on the expression data of 293 immune response-associated genes, 62 specific genes were upregulated in the type A group. Among these genes, 18 specific genes, such as activated effector T-cell markers (CD8/CD40LG/GZMB), effector memory T-cell markers (PD-1/CD27/ICOS), chemokine markers (CXCL9/CXCL10) and activated dendritic cell markers (CD80/CD274/SLAMF1), were significantly associated with a good prognosis using overall survival time analysis. Finally, multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses of overall survival demonstrated that four genes (GZMB, HAVCR2, CXCL9 and CD40LG) were independent prognostic markers, and GZMB, CXCL9 and CD40LG may contribute to the survival benefit of patients in the immune type A group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2) is a novel serum biomarker that discriminates ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) from borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) and non-clear cell epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs). Here, we examined the performance of TFPI2 for preoperative diagnosis of CCC. METHODS Serum samples were obtained preoperatively from patients with ovarian masses, who needed surgical treatment at five hospitals in Japan. The diagnostic powers of TFPI2 and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) serum levels to discriminate CCC from BOTs, other EOCs, and benign lesions were compared. RESULTS A total of 351 patients including 69 CCCs were analyzed. Serum TFPI2 levels were significantly higher in CCC patients (mean ± SD, 508.2 ± 812.0 pg/mL) than in patients with benign lesions (154.7 ± 46.5), BOTs (181 ± 95.5) and other EOCs (265.4 ± 289.1). TFPI2 had a high diagnostic specificity for CCC (79.5%). In patients with benign ovarian endometriosis, no patient was positive for TFPI2, but 71.4% (15/21) were CA125 positive. TFPI2 showed good performance in discriminating stage II-IV CCC from BOTs and other EOCs (AUC 0.815 for TFPI2 versus 0.505 for CA125) or endometriosis (AUC 0.957 for TFPI2 versus 0.748 for CA125). The diagnostic sensitivity of TFPI2 to discriminate CCC from BOTs and other EOCs was improved from 43.5 to 71.0% when combined with CA125. CONCLUSIONS High specificity of TFPI2 for preoperative detection of CCC was verified with the defined cutoff level of TFPI2 in clinical practice. TFPI2 and CA125 may contribute substantially to precise prediction of intractable CCC.

Abstract
This study aimed to research the post-treatment quality of life (QOL) between radiotherapy (RT)- and operation (OP)-treated early cervical cancer survivors, using separate questionnaires for physicians and patients. We administered an observational questionnaire to patients aged 20-70 years old with Stages IB1-IIB cervical cancer who had undergone RT or OP and without recurrence as outpatients for ≥6 months after treatment. We divided 100 registered patients equally into two treatment groups (n = 50 each). The average age was 53 and 44 years in the RT and OP groups, respectively. The RT group included 34 and 66% Stage I and II patients, respectively, whereas the OP group included 66 and 34% Stage I and II patients, respectively. The OP group included 58% of patients with postoperative RT. Combination chemotherapy was performed in 84 and 48% of patients in the RT and OP groups, respectively. On the physicians' questionnaire, we observed significant differences in bone marrow suppression (RT) and leg edema (OP). On the patients' questionnaire, significantly more patients had dysuria and leg edema in the OP group than in the RT group, and severe (Score 4-5) leg edema was significantly higher in the post-operative RT group than in the OP only group. The frequency of sexual intercourse decreased after treatment in both groups. On the patients' questionnaire, there were no significant differences between the two groups regarding sexual activity. These findings are useful to patients and physicians for shared decision-making in treatment choices. The guidance of everyday life and health information including sexual life after treatment is important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is the total exonic mutation count per megabase of tumor DNA. Recent advances in precision medicine occasionally detect Lynch syndrome (LS) by germline sequencing for mismatch-repair (g.MMR) genes but not using TMB. The current study analyzes the utility of TMB in detecting LS. METHODS Whole-exome sequencing (ion-semiconductor sequencing) was performed for somatic and germline DNA from 2,501 various cancer patients to detect TMB and g.MMR sequencing. MMR IHC was conducted when high TMB (≥10) was detected in LS-related cancers with an additional condition of wild-type BRAF in colorectal cancers. Target sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were further performed for g.MMR genes in MMR-deficient cancers (TMB-based g.MMR target sequencing). We compared universal sequencing and TMB-based target sequencing in their sensitivity for detecting LS. RESULTS LS was detected in 16 (0.6%) of the 2,501 patients: 1.1% (9/826) of colorectal cancer patients, 16.2% (6/37) of endometrial cancer patients, and 14.3% (1/7) of small intestine cancer patients. TMB-based g.MMR target sequencing (81.3%) showed superior sensitivity for detecting LS than universal g.MMR sequencing (56.3%; P = 0.127) but missed 3 LS patients (1 with a low-TMB cancer, 1 with a BRAF-mutant colorectal cancer, and 1 with an MMR-proficient cancer). Ion-semiconductor sequencing could detect single-nucleotide substitutions but not large deletions. POL-mutated cancers showed extremely high TMBs (48.4-749.2). CONCLUSIONS g.MMR target sequencing, combined with TMB, somatic BRAF mutation, and MMR IHC is an effective strategy for detecting LS. IMPACT TMB can be a biomarker for detecting LS in precision medicine.

Abstract
e18077 Background: Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2) is a novel serum biomarker that discriminates ovarian clear cell carcinomas (CCC) from borderline ovarian tumors (BD) and non-CCC epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC). We examined the prediction performances of TFPI2, including high specificity, for preoperative diagnosis of CCC in multi-center settings. Methods: We collected serum samples obtained preoperatively from patients with ovarian masses who needed surgical treatment to confirm pathological diagnoses in five hospitals in Japan. The diagnostic powers of serum levels of TFPI2 (cutoff value 270 pg/mL) and CA125 (cutoff value 35 U/mL) to discriminate CCC from BD, non-CCC-EOC, and benign lesions were compared. Results: A total of 351 patients (77 ovarian benign lesions, 65 BD and 209 EOC including 69 CCC) were analyzed. Serum TFPI2 levels were significantly higher in CCC patients (mean±SD, 508.2±812.0 pg/mL) than in patients with benign lesions (154.7±46.5), BD (181±95.5) and non-CCC EOC (265.4±289.1). TFPI2 had a high diagnostic specificity to CCC (sensitivity and specificity: 43.5% and 79.5%, respectively). The sensitivity of TFPI2 was improved to 71.1% when combined with CA125, and it was increased in Stage II–IV CCC (66.7%) compared with Stage I CCC (33.3%). In patients with benign endometriotic cysts (BEM), no patient was positive for TFPI2 but 71.4% (15/21) were CA125 positive. TFPI2 showed good performance in discriminating Stage II–IV CCC from BD and non-CCC EOC patients (AUC 0.815 for TFPI2 versus 0.505 for CA125) or from BEM (AUC 0.957 for TFPI2 versus 0.748 for CA125). Conclusions: High specificity of TFPI2 for the preoperative detection of CCC was re-verified with the defined cutoff level of TFPI2 in practice. TFPI2 and CA125 may have a substantial contribution to the precise prediction of intractable CCC. [Table: see text]

Abstract
A 62-year-old Japanese woman developed numbness of the extremities and megaloblastic anemia. She had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy, whole-pelvis radiation therapy and chemotherapy for gynecological cancer 10 years before. Chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea and intermittent small-bowel obstruction had afflicted her for a long time. We diagnosed her with vitamin B12 deficiency anemia and polyneuropathy due to chronic radiation enteritis causing malabsorption. Vitamin B12 injections improved her numbness and anemia. The early diagnosis and treatment of deficiency of vitamin B12 are important. Physicians should regularly measure vitamin B12 levels and supplement vitamin B12 as needed in patients with chronic radiation enteritis.

Abstract
This study aimed to establish the Japanese Cancer Genome Atlas (JCGA) using data from fresh frozen tumor tissues obtained from 5143 Japanese cancer patients, including those with colorectal cancer (31.6%), lung cancer (16.5%), gastric cancer (10.8%) and other cancers (41.1%). The results are part of a single-center study called "High-tech Omics-based Patient Evaluation" or "Project HOPE" conducted at the Shizuoka Cancer Center, Japan. All DNA samples and most RNA samples were analyzed using whole-exome sequencing, cancer gene panel sequencing, fusion gene panel sequencing and microarray gene expression profiling, and the results were annotated using an analysis pipeline termed "Shizuoka Multi-omics Analysis Protocol" developed in-house. Somatic driver alterations were identified in 72.2% of samples in 362 genes (average, 2.3 driver events per sample). Actionable information on drugs that is applicable in the current clinical setting was associated with 11.3% of samples. When including those drugs that are used for investigative purposes, actionable information was assigned to 55.0% of samples. Germline analysis revealed pathogenic mutations in hereditary cancer genes in 9.2% of samples, among which 12.2% were confirmed as pathogenic mutations by confirmatory test. Pathogenic mutations associated with non-cancerous hereditary diseases were detected in 0.4% of samples. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) analysis revealed 5.4% of samples as having the hypermutator phenotype (TMB ≥ 20). Clonal hematopoiesis was observed in 8.4% of samples. Thus, the JCGA dataset and the analytical procedures constitute a fundamental resource for genomic medicine for Japanese cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Somatic PTEN mutation occurs in a proportion of ovarian endometrioid carcinomas. However, these cancers have seldom been reported in diseases associated with germline PTEN variants, such as Cowden syndrome (CS). Case presentation The present case was a 39-year-old woman with a left ovarian carcinoma who demonstrated a germline splice variant of PTEN (c.1026 + 1G > T) following genome-wide whole exome sequencing of her germline DNA. Histology of her resected tumor revealed endometrioid carcinoma of the same type as a right ovarian cancer resected eight years previously. These tumors showed null immunostaining for PTEN. She was genetically diagnosed with CS. Despite her clinical examinations had demonstrated several characteristic findings of CS, including mammary fibroma, esophageal and skin papilloma, colonic hamartoma, uterine myoma, and lipoma, the clinicians could not approach this diagnosis. Conclusion Ovarian endometrioid carcinoma is generally thought to develop from endometrial tissue menstruated from the uterus and implanted on the ovary. To date, ovarian cancers have not been listed as CS-related cancers; however, ovarian endometrioid cancer can have a potential association with CS in endometriosis cases.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to propose a set of quality indicators (QIs) based on the clinical guidelines for cervical cancer treatment published by The Japan Society of Gynecologic Oncology, and to assess adherence to standard-of-care as an index of the quality of care for cervical cancer in Japan. Methods A panel of clinical experts devised the QIs using a modified Delphi method. Adherence to each QI was evaluated using data from a hospital-based cancer registry of patients diagnosed in 2013, and linked with insurance claims data, between October 1, 2012, and December 31, 2014. All patients who received first-line treatment at the participating facility were included. The QI scores were communicated to participating hospitals, and additional data about the reasons for non-adherence were collected. Results In total, 297 hospitals participated, and the care provided to 15,163 cervical cancer patients was examined using 10 measurable QIs. The adherence rate ranged from 50.0% for ‘cystoscope or proctoscope for stage IVA’ to 98.8% for ‘chemotherapy using platinum for stage IVB’. Despite the variation in care, hospitals reported clinically valid reasons for more than half of the non-adherent cases. Clinically valid reasons accounted for 75%, 90.9%, 73.4%, 44.5%, and 88.1% of presented non-adherent cases respectively. Conclusion Our study revealed variations in pattern of care as well as an adherence to standards-of-care across Japan. Further assessment of the causes of variation and non-adherence can help identify areas where improvements are needed in patient care.

Abstract
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is most commonly associated with small cell lung carcinoma, while it is rarely associated with gynecological and breast carcinoma. We herein report a case of LEMS associated with synchronous double cancer, which was a combination of small cell carcinoma of the cervix and breast carcinoma. The early diagnosis and treatment of LEMS are important for achieving a good outcome. The possibility of accompanying paraneoplastic neurological syndrome must be sufficiently considered in gynecology and breast cancer patients. To our knowledge, this is the first report of LEMS associated with synchronous double cancer.

Abstract
Background This open-label phase III trial evaluated efficacy and safety of S-1 plus cisplatin vs. cisplatin alone as first-line chemotherapy in patients with stage IVB, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer. Methods Patients were randomised (1:1) to S-1 plus cisplatin (study group) or cisplatin alone (control group). In each cycle, cisplatin 50 mg/m2 was administered on Day 1 in both groups. S-1 was administered orally at 80–120 mg daily on Days 1–14 of a 21-day cycle in the study group. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Results A total of 375 patients were enrolled, of whom 364 (188, study group; 176, control group) received treatment. Median OS was 21.9 and 19.5 months in the study and control groups, respectively (log-rank P = 0.125; hazard ratio [HR] 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67–1.05). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.3 and 4.9 months in the study and control groups, respectively (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.48–0.80, P < 0.001). The adverse event (AE) rate increased in the study group despite the absence of any unexpected AEs. Conclusions S-1 plus cisplatin did not show superiority over cisplatin alone in OS but significantly increased PFS in patients with stage IVB, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer. Since the standard therapy has changed in the course of this study, further studies are warranted to confirm the clinical positioning of S-1 combined with cisplatin for this population.

Abstract
The purpose of this phase II trial was to assess the efficacy and toxicity of paclitaxel and nedaplatin (TN) as the initial postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for uterine cervical cancer with lymph node metastases (LNM). Patients with FIGO stage IB1-IIA2 squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix were enrolled. Histological confirmation of LNM was mandatory. Intravenous paclitaxel at 175 mg/m2 and nedaplatin at 80 mg/m2 were administered every 28-day cycle, of which there were 5 cycles after radical hysterectomy. Sixty-two patients were enrolled in the study from November 2011 to July 2015. Their median age was 48.5 years (range 28-64). The median tumor diameter was 37 mm (5-64). Overall, 30 patients (48.4%) had 1 metastatic lymph node, 11 (17.7%) had 2, 3 (4.8%) had 3, 5 (8.1%) had 4, and 13 (21.0%) had 5 or more. With a median follow-up of 45.7 months (range 23.4-69.5), the 2-year relapse-free survival and 2-year overall survival rates were 79.0% (90% CI, 69.0%-86.2%) and 93.5% (95% CI, 83.7%-97.5%), respectively. Almost all adverse events were relatively mild. Grade 3-4 adverse events (NCI-CTC ver. 4.0) that occurred in 5% or more of patients were neutropenia (60.7%) and infection (6.6%). The proportion of patients who completed 5 cycles of treatment was 90.3%. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with TN for cervical cancer with LNM was demonstrated to be an effective and feasible treatment. A phase III trial is warranted to compare this with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
This phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study was conducted to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of veliparib with carboplatin and weekly paclitaxel in Japanese women with newly diagnosed, advanced ovarian cancer. Patients received veliparib at 100 or 150 mg b.i.d. on days 1-21 with carboplatin (area under the concentration-time curve 6 mg/mL•min) on day 1 and paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15 every 3 weeks for up to 6 21-day cycles. Dose escalation followed a 3 + 3 design to determine dose-limiting toxicities, maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose. Nine patients (median age 62 [range 27-72] years) received a median of 5 (range 3-6) cycles of treatment (3 at 100 mg, 6 at 150 mg). There were no dose-limiting toxicities. The most common adverse events of any grade were neutropenia (100%), alopecia (89%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (78%), and anemia, nausea and malaise (67% each). Grade 3 or 4 adverse events were associated with myelosuppression. Pharmacokinetics of carboplatin/paclitaxel were similar at both veliparib doses. Response, assessed in five patients, was partial in four and complete in one (objective response rate 100%). The response could not be assessed in four patients who had no measurable disease at baseline. The recommended phase 2 dose of veliparib, when combined with carboplatin/paclitaxel, is 150 mg b.i.d. Findings from this phase 1 trial demonstrate the tolerability and safety of veliparib with carboplatin/paclitaxel, a regimen with potential clinical benefit in Japanese women with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of brain metastases (BM) from uterine cancer has recently increased because of the improvement of overall survival (OS) of patients with uterine cancer due to its early detection and improved local control as a result of new effective treatments. However, little information is available regarding their clinical characteristics and prognosis, because oncologists have encountered BM from uterine cancer on rare occasions. METHODS Records from 81 patients with uterine BM were collected from 10 institutes in Japan. These were used in a multi-institutional study to identify prognostic factors and develop a graded prognostic assessment (GPA) for patients with BM from uterine cancer. RESULTS Median OS after the development of BM was 7 months (95% confidence interval, 4 to 10 months). Multivariate analysis revealed that there were survival differences according to the existence of extracranial metastases and number of BM. In the present uterine-GPA, a score of 0 was assigned to those patients with ≥5 BM and extracranial metastasis, a score of 2 was assigned to those patients with one to four BM or without extracranial metastasis, and a score of 4 was assigned to those patients with one to four BM and without extracranial metastasis. The median OS for patients with a uterine-GPA scores of 0, 2, and 4 was 3, 7, and 22 months, respectively. A survival analysis confirmed the presence of statistically significant differences between these groups (p < 0.05). The results were validated by data obtained from the National Report of Brain Tumor Registry of Japan. CONCLUSION Uterine GPA incorporates two simple clinical parameters of high prognostic significance and can be used to predict the expected survival times in patients with BM from uterine cancer. Its use may help in determining an appropriate treatment for individual patients with BM.

Abstract
5527 Background: A combination of S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, plus cisplatin has been used for advanced gastric cancer in Asia and EU, and lung cancer in Japan. It also evaluated in advanced or recurrent cervical cancer in a phase II setting. We conducted a randomized phase III trial to compare the efficacy and safety of S-1 plus cisplatin with those of cisplatin alone in recurrent or persistent after treatment and FIGO IVB cervical cancer patients. Methods: Stage IVB, recurrent or persistent cervical cancer patients aged ≥ 20 years, ECOG PS 0–1 and adequate organ function were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive S-1 (80–120 mg daily, according to BSA, day 1–14) plus cisplatin (50 mg/m2 on day 1) (study group) or cisplatin alone (50 mg/m2 on day 1) (control group) every 3 weeks. Treatment was continued until disease progression. In all, 360 patients (at least 296 events) with a hazard ratio (HR) for death of 0.72 were required for a two-sided alpha of 5% and power of 80% under 2 years of recruitment and 1.5 years of follow-up. Stratification factors included recurrence in previously irradiated field, previous platinum-based therapy, and institution. Primary endpoint was OS based on intent-to-treat principle, and secondary endpoints were PFS, overall response rate (ORR), and safety. Results: In all, 375 patients were assigned to the study (n = 189) and control (n = 186) groups. Rate of previous platinum-based therapy was 64%. The median survival time was 21.9 and 19.5 months (95% CI, 18.6–25.8 and 17.0–24.3) with the use of unstratified log-rank test in the study and control groups, respectively (log-rank P = 0.125; HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.67–1.05). Significant increases in median PFS (7.3 vs. 4.9 months; log-rank P < 0.001; HR, 0.62) and ORR (43.8 vs. 20.1%, P < 0.001) were observed in the study group. Adverse events (grade≥3) were frequent in the study group (80.9 vs. 41.7%) with neutropenia (52.7%), anemia (34.6%), and leukopenia (32.4%) being the most common events. Conclusions: Compared with cisplatin alone, S-1 plus cisplatin did not significantly improve OS but increased ORR, prolonged PFS, and had tolerable safety of patients with stage IVB, recurrent or persistent cervical cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT00770874.

Abstract
e17075 Background: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Nedaplatin single therapy for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian, tubal and primary peritoneal cancer after completing standard chemotherapy. Methods: From September 2002 to August 2016, 30 patients who were diagnosed with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, were treated with Nedaplatin single therapy after completing all standard chemotherapy at our institution. Nedaplatin (80-100mg/m2) was adiministered intravenously on day 1 of a 28 day cycle. We retrospectively investigated the response rate, toxicities, and survival based on the use of Nedaplatin single therapy. Results: The median age was 58.5 years (23-76). The median number of prior chemotherapy regimen was 3 (1-7). The median platinum-free interval between the final use of platinum analogues and starting Nedaplatin single therapy was 9.4 months (0.9-54.9). Among 22 patients who had measurable disease, 8 (36.4%) responded partially to Nedaplatin single therapy. Seven patients (23.3%) experienced hematological toxicities of Grade 3/4. Six patients (20.0%) experienced non-hematological toxicities Grade 2. No treatment-related death occurred. The median progression-free survival was 3.2 months (0-23.3), and over all survival was 9.2 months (1.1-56.4) after treatment with Nedaplatin single therapy. Age (<70 years, p=0.017) and platinum-free interval (<6 months, p=0.013) were the prognosis factors for survival in univariate analyses. Conclusions: Nedaplatin single therapy seemed to be an effective and safe chemotherapy regimen for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer after completing standard chemotherapy.

Abstract
The treatment for most patients with early-stage cervical cancer involves radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection, and indications for postoperative adjuvant therapy have been determined by evaluating the prognostic risk factors for recurrence in each case. The aim of this review is to raise and discuss the various issues that have not yet been resolved regarding the prognostic risk factors and postoperative adjuvant therapy. Several clinicopathological factors, such as tumor size, lymphovascular space involvement, deep stromal invasion, parametrial involvement and lymph node metastasis, have been identified to have prognostic significance in early-stage cervical cancer. However, this remains controversial because there is suggested to be substantial heterogeneity among patients after radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy and it would be difficult to define the risk groups clearly. This indicates the need to develop more convenient and accurate criteria to define risk groups. According to the currently available evidence, patients in the high-risk group should receive adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with cisplatin (CDDP) and fluolouracil. However, CCRT with CDDP administered weekly (CCRT-P) has instead been applied in a clinical context worldwide. Whether CCRT-P has a survival benefit compared with radiotherapy (RT) alone is unknown because no randomized phase III trials have been performed for patients in the high-risk group after radical surgery. Patients with high-risk factors have a high incidence of distant metastasis, for whom systemic chemotherapy might be a key to improving overall survival. The pivotal study that investigated the role of RT alone for patients with intermediate-risk factors after hysterectomy is the GOG092 trial. This trial showed a 47% reduction in the risk of recurrence after RT compared with no further treatment (NFT). However, the improvement in overall survival with RT did not reach statistical significance, while patients allocated to the RT group did experience an increase in severe toxicities compared with the NFT group. This could be why many physicians are reluctant to treat patients with this approach, although guidelines recommend RT for patients with intermediate-risk factors. With regard to toxicities, postoperative RT would be problematic because the organs in the pelvis targeted by RT have already been damaged by radical surgery. To reduce the toxicities, intensity-modulated radiotherapy would best be used worldwide. Further improvement in adjuvant therapy will come from enhanced definition of prognostic risk factors, better patient selection, and refinements in both local and systematic therapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Binimetinib is a potent, selective MEK1/2 inhibitor with demonstrated efficacy against BRAF- and RAS-mutant tumors. Retinal adverse events associated with MEK inhibitors have been reported in some cases. The aim of this study was to assess single-agent binimetinib, with detailed ophthalmologic monitoring, in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS This was an open-label phase I dose-escalation and dose-expansion study (NCT01469130). Adult patients with histologically confirmed, evaluable, advanced solid tumors were enrolled and treated with binimetinib 30 or 45 mg twice daily (BID). The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of single-agent binimetinib in Japanese patients. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were enrolled; 3 and 8 patients had documented BRAF and KRAS mutations, respectively. Two of 6 patients (33 %) receiving binimetinib 45 mg BID in dose-escalation experienced recurrent grade 2 retinal adverse events (AEs) which were reversible, and this dose was declared the MTD and RP2D. All patients experienced ≥1 AE suspected to be treatment related; the most common (>50 %) were blood creatine phosphokinase increase (76 %), retinal detachment and aspartate aminotransferase increase (62 % each), and diarrhea (52 %). There were no complete or partial responses; 14 patients (67 %) had stable disease, which lasted >180 days in 5 patients. Expression of phospho-ERK decreased in the skin following binimetinib treatment at both dose levels, indicating target inhibition. CONCLUSIONS Binimetinib demonstrated efficacy and acceptable safety in Japanese patients with solid tumors, supporting the 45 mg BID dose of binimetinib as the RP2D.

Abstract
Objective The concept of platinum sensitivity and cross-resistance among platinum agents are widely known in the management of recurrent ovarian cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate two hypotheses regarding the validity of the concept of platinum sensitivity and non-cross-resistance of cisplatin analogue with cisplatin in recurrent cervical cancer. Methods In this retrospective study, the clinical data of patients with recurrent cervical cancer, who had a history of receiving cisplatin based chemotherapy (including concurrent chemoradiotherapy [CCRT] with cisplatin) and who received second-line chemotherapy at the time of recurrence between April 2004 and July 2012 were reviewed. Results In total, 49 patients-34 squamous cell carcinomas (69.4%) and 15 non-squamous cell carcinomas (30.6%)-were enrolled. The median age was 53 years (range, 26 to 79 years). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that a platinum free interval (PFI) of 12 months has a strong relationship with the response rate to second-line chemotherapy. Upon multivariate analysis of survival after second-line platinum-based chemotherapy, a PFI of 12 months significantly influenced both progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.349; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.140 to 0.871; p=0.024) and overall survival (HR, 0.322; 95% CI, 0.123 to 0.842; p=0.021). In patients with a PFI of less than 6 months, the difference of progression-free survival between patients with re-administration of cisplatin (3.0 months) and administration of cisplatin analogue (7.2 months) as second-line chemotherapy was statistically significant (p=0.049, log-rank test). Conclusion The concept of platinum sensitivity could be applied to recurrent cervical cancer and there is a possibility of noncross-resistance of cisplatin analogue with cisplatin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy (CT) compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) after radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy in high-risk patients with early-stage cervical cancer and to evaluate whether the radicality of the lymphadenectomy would affect the outcome and toxicity of postoperative adjuvant therapy. METHODS The cases of all patients (n = 393) with FIGO IB1-IIB cervical cancer who were treated by radical surgery at Shizuoka Cancer Center between January 2002 and December 2013 were reviewed. Of these, 111 patients met the inclusion criteria for this retrospective study: (1) high risk for occurrence due to pathologically confirmed parametrial invasion and/or pelvic lymph node metastasis; (2) postoperative treatment with adjuvant CT or CCRT. The clinical data of these patients were reviewed. RESULTS Of the 111 patients, 37 and 74 patients underwent CT and CCRT, respectively. The 4-year progression-free survival rate [PFS; 71.7 (CT) vs. 68.3 % (CCRT)] and overall survival rate [76.0 (CT) vs. 82.7 % (CCRT)] did not differ significantly between the two groups. The CT group contained significantly more patients with severe neutropenia than the CCRT group (66.7 vs. 23.0 %, respectively; p < 0.001), and the CCRT group contained significantly more patients with diarrhea than the CT group (10.8 vs. 0 %, respectively; p = 0.04). The patients who had ≥40 lymph nodes dissected (≥40 group) had higher PFS than the patients who had <40 lymph nodes dissected (<40 group) (73.2 vs. 64.2 %, respectively), although the difference was not significant. In the CT group, there was no significant association between the number of dissected lymph nodes and severe toxicities. However, in the CCRT group, significantly more vomiting (p = 0.046) and edema (p = 0.046) occurred in the ≥40 group than in the <40 group. CONCLUSIONS Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk patients had similar efficacy and a different toxicity profile compared with CCRT, and a more radical surgical procedure would improve the survival outcome. However, CCRT was associated with worse toxicity than CT. We advocate a prospective randomized study to compare CT with CCRT for patients with high-risk factors for recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A multicenter phase II trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and toxicity of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with weekly cisplatin (CDDP) and paclitaxel (PTX) in patients with locally advanced uterine cervical cancer. METHODS Patients with FIGO stage III-IVA uterine cervical cancer without para-aortic lymphadenopathy were enrolled. Patients received definitive radiotherapy (RT) consisting of external beam whole-pelvic RT and high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy. The cumulative linear quadratic equivalent dose was 62-65Gy prescribed at point A. weekly CDDP at 30mg/m(2) and PTX at 50mg/m(2) were administered concurrently with RT for ≥5 courses. RESULTS Sixty-eight of the 70 registered patients were eligible. The complete response rate was 76.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 66.4-86.6%). With a median follow-up of 27months (range, 7.9-33.5), the 2-year cumulative progression-free survival and the 2-year cumulative overall survival rates were 83.8% (95% CI, 75.1-92.6%) and 92.7% (95% CI, 86.4-98.9%), respectively. The pelvic cumulative disease progression-free and the 2-year cumulative distant metastasis rates were 89.6% (95% CI, 82.3-96.9%) and 13.2% (95% CI, 5.2-21.3%), respectively. The 2-year cumulative late complication rates were 25% for all grades, 13.2% for grade 1, 5.9% for grade 2, 2.9% for grade 3, and 2.9% for grade 4. CONCLUSIONS For locally advanced cervical cancer, CCRT with weekly CDDP 30mg/m(2) and PTX at 50mg/m(2) demonstrated favorable antitumor activity, and was feasible and safe with respect to the protocol-specified serious adverse reactions and events. Evaluation of this regimen in phase III trials is warranted.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze data for patients with stage IB-IIB uterine cervical cancer who were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy with fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (CCRT-FP) as postoperative adjuvant therapy and to re-examine these issues and further treatment. METHODS Patients with high risk for recurrence underwent CCRT-FP as postoperative adjuvant therapy. A total of 73 patients who met these criteria were included in this study. Data related to survival, toxicity, and treatment feasibility were analyzed, and the question of whether there were differences in survival and toxicity according to the number of dissected lymph nodes at surgery was evaluated. RESULTS Median patient age was 45 years (range, 24-67 years). Two-thirds of patients had squamous cell histologic type, 41 patients (56.2%) had parametrial invasion, and 60 patients (82.2%) had lymph node metastases. Estimated 4-year progression-free survival, overall survival, and local control rates were 71.8%, 84.1%, and 88.5%, respectively. Sixteen patients (21.9%) had grade 3-4 neutropenia and one of them died of septic shock. Non-hematological toxicities were also common: 13 (17.8%) experienced grade 3-4 nausea, and nine (12.3%) experienced grade 3-4 diarrhea. Ileus occurred in 17 patients (23.3%), and seven of them (9.6%) were not yet cured. One patient experienced gastrointestinal perforation. CONCLUSIONS CCRT-FP in the postoperative setting resulted in good survival outcome but toxicity remained problematic. Development of appropriate treatment for patients with high-risk prognostic factors after radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic lymphocyst infection is a rare complication after lymphadenectomy for malignant gynecologic tumors. Although medical therapy is a useful addition to surgical drainage, the appropriate antibiotic regimen is unknown because few studies have examined the causative organisms. The purpose of this case series was to identify the micro-organisms infecting pelvic lymphocysts. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective, case-series review conducted at a tertiary-care cancer center between October 2002 and March 2013. The participants included all patients who experienced their first pelvic lymphocyst infection after undergoing pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical, endometrial, or ovarian cancer and exhibited positive lymphocyst fluid culture. Computed tomography- or sonography-guided percutaneous aspiration procedures were performed to obtain lymphocyst fluid for culture. RESULTS During the study period, 878 patients underwent lymphadenectomy for gynecologic malignant tumors, and 13 developed a pelvic lymphocyst infection documented microbiologically. Cultures identified Staphylococcus aureus (three patients), S. epidermidis (one patient), Streptococcus agalactiae (three patients), Enterococcus (two patients), Escherichia coli (one patient), and anaerobic bacteria (three patients). They were all monomicrobial infections. CONCLUSIONS Our study and other smaller ones suggest that lymphocyst infections following pelvic lymphadenectomy for malignant gynecologic tumors usually are monomicrobial and caused by gram-positive cocci, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus, and anaerobes such as Bacteroides fragilis. These bacteria should be considered when selecting empiric antibiotic therapy.
