Incidence and risk of venous thromboembolism according to primary treatment in women with ovarian cancer: A retrospective cohort study. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0250723. [PMID: 33909674 PMCID: PMC8081178 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0250723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2020] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate incidence and risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) according to primary treatment in women with ovarian cancer. Methods We selected 26,863 women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2009 and 2018 from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service databases. During the total follow-up period and the first six months after initiation of primary treatments, incidence and risk of VTE were evaluated according to primary treatment as no treatment, surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. Results The mean follow-up period was 1285.5±6 days. The VTE incidence was highest in women who underwent chemotherapy (306 per 10,000 women). Among women who underwent surgery, VTE was highest in surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (536 per 10,000 women), followed by surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy (360 per 10,000 women) and surgery alone (132 per 10,000 women). During the first 12 months, monthly incidence of VTE decreased. Compared with women with no treatment, risk of VTE significantly increased in women undergoing chemotherapy (HR 1.297; 95% CI, 1.08–1.557; P = 0.005) during the total follow-up period and decreased in women undergoing surgery (HR 0.557; 95% CI, 0.401–0.775; P<0.001) and radiotherapy (HR 0.289; 95% CI, 0.119–0.701; P = 0.006) during the first six months. Among women who underwent surgery, VTE risk significantly increased in surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR 4.848; 95% CI, 1.86–12.632; P = 0.001) followed by surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy (HR 2.807; 95% CI, 1.757–4.485; P<0.001) compared with surgery alone during the total follow-up period and in surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR 4.223; 95% CI, 1.37–13.022; P = 0.012) during the first six months. Conclusions In this large Korean cohort study, incidence and risk of VTE were highest in women with ovarian cancer who underwent chemotherapy and surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a primary cancer treatment. Incidence of VTE decreased over time.

Abstract
This study investigated incidence and risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cervical cancer. We selected 49,514 patients newly diagnosed with cervical cancer from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service databases. During the total follow-up period and first 6 months after initiation of primary treatments, incidence of VTE, and association of risk factors with VTE occurrence were evaluated according to primary treatments or no treatment, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. VTE occurred in 1.15% of patients with cervical cancer. Regardless of the period after initiation of primary treatments, and of VTE, the incidence of thromboembolism was highest in chemotherapy. During the first 12 months, monthly incidence of VTE was highest in chemotherapy and decreased with time in all primary treatments. Compared with no treatment, VTE risk significantly increased for all primary treatments (surgery: HR 1.492; 95% CI 1.186-1.877) (radiotherapy: HR 2.275; 95% CI 1.813-2.855) (chemotherapy: HR 4.378; 95% CI 3.095-6.193) and for chemotherapy during the first 6 months (HR 3.394; 95% CI 2.062-5.588). In this cohort study, incidence and risk of VTE in patients with cervical cancer were the highest when chemotherapy was the primary cancer treatment, and incidence of VTE decreased with time.

Abstract
ObjectiveVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a recognized complication of gynecological malignancy and represents a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. The review aimed to discuss the incidence, risk factors, and clinical presentation of VTE before examining the literature on the diagnosis, prevention, and management in the context of uterine, cervical, ovarian, and vulval cancers.Methods/MaterialsA literature search was performed using Ovid Medline and Embase with the following words: “gynecological malignancy,” “pelvic tumor,” “venous thromboembolism,” “deep vein thrombosis” and “pulmonary embolism.”ResultsThe incidence of VTE in patients with gynecological malignancy ranged between 3% and 25% and was affected by several patient and tumor factors. Duplex ultrasonography is currently the first-line imaging modality for deep venous thrombosis with sensitivity and specificity of up to 95% and 100%, respectively. Low-molecular-weight heparin is currently the VTE prophylaxis and treatment of choice for patients with gynecological malignancy, although warfarin and unfractionated heparin play a role in selected circumstances. The relatively new direct oral anticoagulants including factor Xa inhibitors and direct thrombin inhibitors are increasingly being used, although further evaluations are required, particularly in cancer patients. Catheter-directed thrombolysis and percutaneous mechanical and surgical thrombectomy may have a role in treating patients with severe symptomatic iliocaval or iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis. Overall, VTE is a poor prognosis marker in patients with gynecological malignancy.ConclusionsGynecological malignancy–associated VTE is associated with significant morbidity, contributing to a large number of life years lost. Although promising new therapies are emerging, a 2-pronged approach is required to simultaneously target cancer-specific management and predict early on those who are likely to be affected. In the meantime, clinicians should continue to combine current guidelines with a multidisciplinary team approach to ensure that these complex patients receive the best evidence-based and compassionate care.

Incidence of venous thromboembolism before treatment in cervical cancer and the impact of management on venous thromboembolism after commencement of treatment. Thromb Res 2013; 131:e127-32. [PMID: 23433998 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2013.01.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2012] [Revised: 12/20/2012] [Accepted: 01/09/2013] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Silent venous thromboembolism (VTE) often occurs before treatment in ovarian or endometrial cancer and management can decrease VTE after treatment. However, the incidence of VTE before treatment and the impact of management are still unclear in cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the incidence of VTE before treatment in 272 consecutive patients with cervical cancer, and the impact of management on prevention of VTE during and after treatment. D-dimer levels before treatment were examined in all patients. Venous ultrasonography of the lower extremities was performed in patients with D-dimer ≥1.5μg/ml. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the pelvis or abdomen was diagnosed by enhanced computed tomography. RESULTS Thirteen patients (4.8%; 3 preoperatively, 10 before radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy) were diagnosed with DVT, although DVT was symptomatic in only 1 patient. None of the 13 patients showed pulmonary embolism on pulmonary scanning. Although 4 of 128 patients (3.1%) developed VTE after radical hysterectomy, none of the 124 patients who underwent radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy developed VTE during or after treatment. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that VTE before treatment occurs less frequently with cervical cancer than with ovarian or endometrial cancer. However, management may decrease VTE during and after treatment, especially radiotherapy.

Abstract
Surgical management for cervical carcinoma uses a wide variety of procedures for all stages of disease, ranging from the most conservative excisional biopsy to aggressive extirpative surgery with sophisticated reconstruction. Innovative surgical procedures have given fertility-sparing treatment options to women of reproductive age, and refinement and use of minimally invasive surgical approaches have minimized operative morbidity without sacrificing outcomes. Conservative staging procedures are being evaluated to improve survival in locally advanced disease. There have been many breakthroughs in the treatment of cervical carcinoma over recent years, which have improved not only survival but also the quality of ensuing life for women afflicted by this disease.

Abstract
Lymphoedema is a problem frequently encountered by professionals working in palliative care. This article reviews the evidence on the magnitude of the problem of lymphoedema in the general population and provides evidence on specific high risk groups within it. Prevalence is a good indicator of the burden of disease for chronic problems such as lymphoedema, as it indicates the numbers of patients who require care. Incidence is indicative of changes in the causes of lymphoedema and the success of any prevention programmes. Both are important means of assessing the current level of need and the potential for the changing needs in managing this condition. Problems exist in all studies in relation to precise definitions of lymphoedema, inconsistent measures to assess differential diagnosis and poorly defined populations. While there is some evidence of high rates in relation to breast cancer therapy, the total burden of lymphoedema in the general population is largely unknown.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate feasibility and morbidity of a total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (TLRH). DESIGN Retrospective chart review (Canadian Task Force classification II-3). SETTING Gynecologic cancer center. PATIENTS Fifty-five women with cervical (39), endometrial (8), vaginal (2), or recurrent colon cancer (1), or severe pelvic endometriosis (5) followed for 3 years. INTERVENTION TLRH in 55 women, converted to laparotomy in 3 (5.5%). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Feasibility, safety, patterns of recurrence, and survival were assessed. Estimated blood loss was 200 ml (range 50-2000 ml), median total operating time was 210 minutes, and median hospital stay was 5 days. Intraoperative complications were three vascular injuries and one obturator nerve palsy, all of which occurred in the first half of the series. Early postoperative morbidity included deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bladder infection and dysfunction, and vaginal fistula. These events occurred less frequently in the second half of the series. Late postoperative morbidity consisted of lymphedema, pelvic abscess and lymphocyst formation, pelvic cellulitis, hyperesthesia of the leg, and small bowel obstruction. The only fatality was a patient who developed a pulmonary embolus on postoperative day 3. Median follow-up was 36.5 months. Of 39 women with cervical cancer, 34 were alive and disease free at their last visit. No case of port site metastasis occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSION TLRH carries acceptably low morbidity that can be reduced with experience with the technique.

Int J Gynecol Cancer 1998; 8: 78-84. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical aspects and prognosis of patients with tumor recurrence in surgically treated stage IB and IIA cervical carcinoma patients. Two hundred and seventy-one stage IB and IIA cervical carcinoma patients underwent a Wertheim Okabayashi radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy. The median follow-up time was 60 months. Recurrence occurred in 27 patients (10%): 14 had a pelvic recurrence and 13, and extrapelvic recurrence. The site of recurrence was influenced by various pathological factors as well as by the primary treatment mode. 77% of recurrences were detected within three years after primary treatment. The median recurrence-free interval in patients with a pelvic recurrence was significantly shorter than in patients with an extrapelvic recurrence (14 months vs. 17 months, P = 0.03). The mortality rate of the group of patients with recurrent disease was 85% (23/27). Patients with a pelvic central recurrence had a significantly better outcome than did patients whose recurrences were located at the pelvic sidewall. Two patients with a pulmonary recurrence were treated with surgery and show no evidence of disease after 4 and 8 years respectively, of follow-up. The overall detection rate of recurrent disease by routine follow-up was only 36%. However, asymptomatic patients had a significantly better prognosis when compared with symptomatic patients. Therefore, we recommend frequent follow-up visits during the first 3 years after primary treatment to detect recurrence in an early stage.

Abstract
In a study of 37 patients diagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma between 1961 and 1994, clinical and pathologic findings were evaluated. Of the 37 patients, 27 (73%) had a pure adenocarcinoma, five (13.5%) had a collision tumor and five (13.5%) had an adenosquamous carcinoma. Twenty-six patients (70.3%) were diagnosed in Stage I, and 11 (29.7%) patients in Stage II, III, and IV. Two patients (5.4%) were treated with simple hysterectomy alone, nine (24.3%) with simple hysterectomy followed by radiotherapy, eight (21.6%) with radical hysterectomy alone, five (13.5%) with radical hysterectomy followed by radiotherapy, nine (24.3%) with radiotherapy alone, one (2.7%) with radiotherapy followed by simple hysterectomy, and three (8.1%) received no treatment. The actuarial 5-year survival rate was 69%. It is suggested that for patients with small early-stage disease, radical hysterectomy should be primary treatment and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy would be advocated if high-risk features are histologically demonstrated. For all other patients, radiotherapy should be primary treatment.
