Potential utility of pretreatment serum miRNAs for optimal treatment selection in advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Jpn J Clin Oncol 2024:hyae051. [PMID: 38651188 DOI: 10.1093/jjco/hyae051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary treatment of patients with advanced ovarian cancer is selected from whether primary debulking surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We investigated whether pretreatment serum microRNA profiles are useful for selecting patients with advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer who obtain better outcomes from undergoing primary debulking surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS Consecutive patients with clinical stage IIIB-IVB and serum microRNA data were selected. Patients who underwent primary debulking surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy were subjected to 1:1 propensity score matching before comparing their progression-free survival using Cox modelling. Progression-free probabilities for the selected microRNA profiles were calculated, and the estimated progression-free survival with the recommended primary treatment was determined and compared with the actual progression-free survival of the patients. RESULTS Of the 108 patients with stage IIIB-IVB disease, the data of 24 who underwent primary debulking surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy were compared. Eleven and three microRNAs were independent predictors of progression-free survival in patients who underwent primary debulking surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, respectively. Two microRNAs correlated significantly with complete resection of the tumours in primary debulking surgery. No differences were found between the actual and estimated progression-free survival in the primary debulking surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy groups (P > 0.05). The recommended and actual primary treatments were identical in 27 (56.3%) of the 48 patients. The median improved survival times between recommended and actual treatment were 11.7 and 32.6 months for patients with actual primary debulking surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Pretreatment microRNA profiles could be used to select subgroups of patients who benefited more from primary debulking surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and might contribute to selecting the optimal primary treatment modality in advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
AIM The relationship between chemotherapy response score (CRS), a widely used response predictor of neoadjuvant chemotherapy-interval debulking surgery (NAC-IDS), and multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) and CA125 ELIMination rate constant K (KELIM), is undetermined. We evaluated CRS in advanced ovarian cancer patients undergoing NAC and looked for associations between CRS and MDR1 and CA125 KELIM. Our aim was to predict the therapeutic effect of NAC before interval debulking surgery (IDS) by examining its association with CRS. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent NAC-IDS (first-line treatment) at Kurume University Hospital, Japan, between 2004 and 2017. CRS association with MDR1 and CA125 KELIM was examined using Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. Survival curves used Kaplan-Meier method, and survival differences between groups used log-rank test. RESULTS Overall, 55 patients were classified into CRS1 (n=22), CRS2 (n=19), and CRS3 (n=14). The CRS3 group had a significantly better prognosis than the CRS1 or CRS2 group. CRS, age, and IDS status were clinical prognostic factors for ovarian cancer. MDR1 positivity for excision repair cross-complementing group 1, β-tubulin, and Y-box binding protein-1 occurred in 15, 17, and 11 patients, respectively, but these were not associated with CRS. CA125 KELIM was <0.5 (n=8), 0.5-1.0 (n=30), and ≥ 1.0 (n=17) but not associated with CRS. CONCLUSION CRS is reconfirmed as a treatment response predictor for NAC-IDS, but its association with drug resistance factors remains unconfirmed.

Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:285. [PMID: 38254777 PMCID: PMC10813817 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16020285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC), the most lethal gynecological malignancy, usually presents in advanced stages. Characterized by peritoneal and lymphatic dissemination, OC necessitates a complex surgical approach usually involving the upper abdomen with the aim of achieving optimal cytoreduction without visible macroscopic disease (R0). Failures in optimal cytoreduction, essential for prognosis, often stem from overlooking anatomical neglected sites that harbor residual tumor. Concealed OC metastases may be found in anatomical locations such as the omental bursa; Morison's pouch; the base of the round ligament and hepatic bridge; the splenic hilum; and suprarenal, retrocrural, cardiophrenic and inguinal lymph nodes. Hence, mastery of anatomy is crucial, given the necessity for maneuvers like liver mobilization, diaphragmatic peritonectomy and splenectomy, as well as dissection of suprarenal, celiac, and cardiophrenic lymph nodes in most cases. This article provides a meticulous anatomical description of neglected anatomical areas during OC surgery and describes surgical steps essential for the dissection of these "neglected" areas. This knowledge should equip clinicians with the tools needed for safe and complete cytoreduction in OC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although the Pipelle endometrial biopsy is widely performed as a practical and minimally invasive test for endometrial disease(s), its effectiveness in ovarian cancer has not been explored. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of Pipelle endometrial biopsy for ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers. METHODS A pre-treatment Pipelle-endometrial biopsy was performed in 90 patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers between January 2014 and November 2021. We retrospectively analysed the association between the results of Pipelle endometrial biopsy and clinicopathological data. Moreover, we evaluated their impact on the following treatment in advanced cases initially treated with chemotherapy. RESULTS The sensitivity and false-negative rates for Pipelle endometrial biopsy were 25/90 (27.8%) and 65/90 (72.2%) in all patients, respectively, and 23/56 (41.0%) and 33/56 (58.9%) in cases with advanced disease (stages III and IV), respectively. Pipelle-positive endometrial biopsy-positive (Pipelle-positive) was not observed in 29 patients with clinical stage I disease, and Pipelle-positive patients exhibited significantly more high-grade serous carcinomas, and positive peritoneal, endometrial, and cervical cytologies than Pipelle-endometrial biopsy-negative cases. Surgical pathology was confirmed in 23 Pipelle-positive patients, and 17/23 (74.0%) had the same diagnosis as that for Pipelle endometrial biopsy. Conversely, 6/23 (26.0%) patients exhibited a minor diagnostic discrepancy between Pipelle endometrial biopsy and surgical pathology. Nineteen of the 38 (50.0%) patients initially treated with chemotherapy were identified as Pipelle-positive, contributing to a prompt histological diagnosis and pre-treatment tumour sampling. Companion diagnostic tests were performed using Pipelle endometrial biopsy samples from 4 inoperable patients. CONCLUSION Although the positive rate of Pipelle endometrial biopsy in ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers is low, Pipelle endometrial biopsy may enable prompt histological diagnosis and initiation of chemotherapy while collecting tumour tissue for genetic testing in some cases with advanced disease.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the available evidence on the use of minimal invasive surgery (MIS) in the management of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Background MIS is currently performed to stage and treat EOC at different stage of presentation. We will evaluate risks and benefits of minimally invasive surgery for early stage EOC treatment, then potential advantages provided by staging laparoscopy in identifying patients suitable for primary cytoreductive surgery (PDS) will be discussed. Finally we will investigate the growing role of MIS in the treatment of advanced EOC after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and in the treatment of EOC recurrence. Methods An electronic database search was performed on PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar for relevant studies up to December 2022. Conclusion LPS represents a feasible surgical procedure for the staging and treatment in early, advanced and EOC relapse in selected patients treated in high-volume oncological centers by surgeons with adequate experience in advanced surgical procedures. Despite the increasing use of MIS over the last few years, randomized clinical trials are still needed to prove its effectiveness.

Abstract
Maximal-effort upfront or interval debulking surgery is the recommended approach for advanced-stage ovarian cancer. The role of diagnostic imaging is to provide a systematic and structured report on tumour dissemination with emphasis on key sites for resectability. Imaging methods, such as pelvic and abdominal ultrasound, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, yield high diagnostic performance for diagnosing bulky disease, but they are less accurate for depicting small-volume carcinomatosis, which may lead to unnecessary explorative laparotomies. Diagnostic laparoscopy, on the other hand, may directly visualize intraperitoneal involvement but has limitations in detecting tumours beyond the gastrosplenic ligament, in the lesser sac, mesenteric root or in the retroperitoneum. Laparoscopy has its place in combination with imaging in cases where ima-ging results regarding resectability are unclear. Different imaging models predicting tumour resectability have been developed as an adjunctional objective tool. Incorporating results from tumour quantitative analyses (e.g., radiomics), preoperative biopsies and biomarkers into predictive models may allow for more precise selection of patients eligible for extensive surgery. This review will discuss the ability of imaging and laparoscopy to predict non-resectable disease in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of mortality in patients with gynecologic malignancies. Advanced-stage high-grade serous carcinoma accounts for most ovarian cancer cases. Current issues in the management of patients with newly diagnosed advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer include decisions on primary versus interval cytoreduction, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, maintenance therapy, incorporation of bevacizumab, and germline and somatic genetic testing. Evidence and guidelines regarding these topics are addressed in this review.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to develop an 18F-FDG PET/CT-based model to predict complete cytoreduction during primary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for ovarian cancer (OC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with stage III-IV OC who underwent primary CRS between June 2013 and February 2020 at 2 tertiary centers. Patients from each hospital were assigned to training and test sets. The abdominal cavity was divided into 3 sections, and data for the PET/CT-derived parameters were collected through image analysis. Various prediction models were constructed by combining clinicopathologic characteristics and PET/CT-derived parameters. The performance of the model with the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was externally validated. RESULTS The training and test sets included 159 and 166 patients, respectively. The median age of patients in the test set was 55 years; 72.3% of them had stage III tumors, and 65.4% underwent complete cytoreduction. Metabolic tumor volume, total lesion glycolysis, and the number of metastatic lesions above the upper margin of the renal vein (area A) were selected among the PET/CT parameters. The best predictive multivariable model consisted of CA-125 (<750 or ≥750 IU/mL), number of metastatic lesions (<2 or ≥2), and metabolic tumor volume of area A, predicting complete cytoreduction with an AUC of 0.768. The model was validated using a test set. Its predictive performance yielded an AUC of 0.771. CONCLUSIONS We successfully developed and validated a preoperative model to predict complete cytoreduction in advanced OC. This model can facilitate patient selection for primary CRS in clinical practice.

Abstract
AbstractOvarian malignancy the third most common gynecological malignancy and is the leading cause of death in women. Non-specific clinical presentation delays the diagnosis, and they often present in the advanced stage of disease. No imaging modality is recommended for screening as there is no significant mortality reduction. Ultrasound (USG) is usually the initial modality in suspected ovarian mass. MRI is recommended for the characterization of indeterminate ovarian or adnexal mass on USG. CT abdomen and pelvis with oral and IV contrast is the recommended imaging modality in staging the disease, predicting the resectability and in selecting the patients who would benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Early ovarian cancers are staged by post-surgical histology and undergo upfront surgery. Advanced disease benefit by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and less morbidity by interval cytoreduction where image-guided biopsy is performed for histological diagnosis. Follow-up recommendations are based on tumor histology. CT/PET CT is recommended for diagnosing recurrence.

Abstract
In patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), predicting the feasibility of complete interval cytoreductive surgery (ICRS) is helpful and may avoid unnecessary laparotomy. A joint model (JM) is a dynamic individual predictive model. The aim of this study was to develop a predictive JM combining CA-125 kinetics during NAC with patients' and clinical factors to predict resectability after NAC in patients with AOC. A retrospective study included 77 patients with AOC treated with NAC. A linear mixed effect (LME) sub-model was used to describe the evolution of CA-125 during NAC considering factors influencing the biomarker levels. A Cox sub-model screened the covariates associated with resectability. The JM combined the LME sub-model with the Cox sub-model. Using the LME sub-model, we observed that CA-125 levels were influenced by the number of NAC cycles and the performance of paracentesis. In the Cox sub-model, complete resectability was associated with Performance Status (HR = 0.57, [0.34-0.95], p = 0.03) and the presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis in the epigastric region (HR = 0.39, [0.19-0.80], p = 0.01). The JM accuracy to predict complete ICRS was 88% [82-100] with a predictive error of 2.24% [0-2.32]. Using a JM of a longitudinal CA-125 level during NAC could be a reliable predictor of complete ICRS.

Abstract
The use of minimally invasive surgical techniques is becoming increasingly important in gynecologic oncology due to technical advances and the increasing level of surgical expertise. In addition to laparoscopic approaches for the treatment of benign neoplasms, minimally invasive surgical methods have also become established in some areas for treating gynecologic malignancies. For tumor entities such as endometrial and cervical carcinoma, there are conclusive studies emphasizing the role of laparoscopy in surgical therapy. By contrast, due to a lack of prospective data with survival analyses, no clear conclusions can be drawn on the significance of laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of ovarian carcinoma. However, some smaller, mostly retrospective case-control studies and cohort studies open the way for a discussion, positing the possibility that laparoscopic surgical procedures, particularly for early ovarian carcinoma, are technically feasible and of a quality equivalent to that of conventional longitudinal laparotomy, and may also be associated with lower perioperative morbidity. In this article we discuss the most important aspects of using minimally invasive surgical techniques for ovarian carcinoma based on the current literature. In particular we look at the relevance of laparoscopy as a primary approach for surgical staging of early ovarian carcinoma, and we evaluate the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in assessing the operability of advanced ovarian carcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Determining whether cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is feasible in patients with advanced ovarian cancer and whether extensive surgery is justified is challenging. Accurate patient selection for CRS based on pre- and peroperative parameters will be valuable. The aim of this study is to assess the association between the extent of peritoneal metastases as determined during surgery and completeness of interval CRS and survival. METHODS This single-center observational cohort study included consecutive patients with newly diagnosed stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and underwent interval CRS. The 7 Region Count (7RC) was recorded during surgical exploration to systematically quantify the extent of peritoneal metastases. Logistic regression analysis was performed to predict surgical outcomes, and Cox regression analysis was done for survival outcomes. RESULTS A total of 316 patients were included for analyses. The median 7RC was 4 (interquartile range: 2-6). Complete CRS was performed in 58%, optimal CRS in 30%, and incomplete CRS in 12% of patients. A higher 7RC was independently associated with lower odds of complete or optimal CRS in multivariable analysis (odds ratio [OR] = 0.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.33-0.63, p < 0.001). Similarly, a higher 7RC was independently associated with worse progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.17, 95% CI 1.08-1.26, p < 0.001) and overall survival (HR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.04-1.25, p = 0.007). CONCLUSION The extent of peritoneal metastases, as expressed by the 7RC during surgery, is an independent predictor for completeness of CRS and has independent prognostic value for progression-free survival and overall survival in addition to completeness of CRS.

Abstract
Objectives We report the 20-year experience of the largest Australian unit performing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for ovarian cancer and reflect on learning opportunities. Methods A retrospective review of all cases of CRS for ovarian cancer at St George Peritonectomy Unit from Jan 1998 to Jan 2018 was performed. Prospectively collected data include age, stage, histology, disease extent (PCI), completeness of cytoreduction (CC score), HIPEC regime, 30-day surgical morbidity, disease recurrence, and death. Survival was computed using Kaplan–Meier method and analysed using log-rank tests and Cox-proportional hazards models. Results Forty-one women with advanced ovarian cancer (11 primary stage III/IV, 30 recurrent) underwent CRS, 29 (71%) with HIPEC. Most (68%) had high-volume disease (PCI > 15). In 98%, CC0/CC1 (residual < 2.5 mm) was achieved. Fourteen (34%) had grade 3/4 complications, 1 patient (2%) died within 30 days and 2 patients (5%) died within 90 days. Progression-free and median overall survival was 30.0 and 67.0 months for primary cancer, and 6.7 and 18.1 months for recurrent cancer. Survival was associated with platinum-sensitivity, PCI ≤ 15, and CC score 0, but not HIPEC. Conclusion This study reports outcomes for patients with advanced ovarian cancer patients treated in an Australian centre offering CRS and HIPEC. Whilst survival and morbidity outcomes were good for primary disease, they were poorer than predicted from the literature for cases of recurrent disease. The incorporation of evidence-based predictors of survival and multidisciplinary input are essential to achieve the best survival outcomes.

Abstract
Over one-third of patients experienced a grade 3 or higher surgical complication within 30 days after aborted surgery. All patients who had aborted primary debulking went on to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking. After interval debulking, 97.6% achieved optimal debulking (48.8%-complete resection; 48.8% ≤1cm of residual disease).

Surgery in Advanced Ovary Cancer: Primary versus Interval Cytoreduction. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12040988.

Abstract
Primary debulking surgery (PDS) has remained the only treatment of ovarian cancer with survival advantage since its development in the 1970s. However, survival advantage is only observed in patients who are optimally resected. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has emerged as an alternative for patients in whom optimal resection is unlikely and/or patients with comorbidities at high risk for perioperative complications. The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence to date for PDS and NACT in the treatment of stage III/IV ovarian carcinoma. We systematically searched the PubMed database for relevant articles. Prior to 2010, NACT was reserved for non-surgical candidates. After publication of EORTC 55971, the first randomized trial demonstrating non-inferiority of NACT followed by interval debulking surgery, NACT was considered in a wider breadth of patients. Since EORTC 55971, 3 randomized trials—CHORUS, JCOG0602, and SCORPION—have studied NACT versus PDS. While CHORUS supported EORTC 55971, JCOG0602 failed to demonstrate non-inferiority and SCORPION failed to demonstrate superiority of NACT. Despite conflicting data, a subset of patients would benefit from NACT while preserving survival including poor surgical candidates and inoperable disease. Further randomized trials are needed to assess the role of NACT.

Abstract
Based on recently published data, these recommendations present some evolutions in the surgical management of high grade epithelial ovarian cancers. In apparently early stages (FIGO I and II), surgical staging must be undertaken to confirm the absence of both peritoneal lesions and lymph node involvement (that might change stage and management). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not indicated, surgical exploration should be performed upfront, by laparotomy, to reduce the risk of rupture of the primary tumor. In advanced stages, the first step is to evaluate the feasibility of primary surgery with complete tumor cytoreduction. If it appears unfeasible, 3 or 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy are administered before interval surgey. Whether it is implemented in the primary or interval setting, surgery must be performed by experimented teams, in an approved facility, having developed a rehabilitation program. Lymph node dissection is not mandatory if no adenopathies have been identified by imaging and by peroperative palpation. At first relapse, the surgical decision must be made by a multidisciplinary team, using scores predictive of complete cytoreduction (AGO or iMODEL criteria). Similarly as in first line, the objective is to achieve resection without any residual disease. Surveillance after first-line treatment must be adapted, according to the probability of another complete cytoreduction in case of late relapse, especially in patients who benefited from primary complete surgery and maintained good performance status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the prognostic impact of various global health assessment tools in patients older than 60 years with ovarian cancer (OC). METHODS G-8 geriatric screening tool (G-8 score), Lee Schonberg prognostic index, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) were determined retrospectively in a consecutive cohort of elderly patients with OC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier method were performed to analyze the impact of the preoperative global health status on survival. RESULTS 116 patients entered the study. In multivariate analysis adjusted for clinical-pathological factors, only the G-8 score retained significance as a prognostic parameter of progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.970; 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.056-3.677]; p = 0.033). Fifty-six patients were classified as G-8-nonfrail with an increased PFS compared to 50 G-8-frail patients (53.4% vs. 16.7%; p = 0.010). A higher CCI was associated with decreased PFS (45.1% vs. 22.2%; p = 0.012), but it did not influence the risk of recurrences or death (p = 0.360; p = 0.111). The Lee Schonberg prognostic index, the ECOG, and age were not associated with survival. CONCLUSIONS The G-8 score independently predicted PFS in elderly OC patients regardless of maximal surgical effort. Thus, it could be useful to assess surgical treatment based on frailty rather than age alone.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical utility of pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT with quantitative evaluation of peritoneal metabolic cartography in relation to staging laparoscopy for ovarian carcinomatosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of prospectively collected data from 84 patients with FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage IIIC to IV ovarian cancer was carried out. All patients had a double-blinded 18F-FDG PET/CT review. Discriminant capacity of metabolic parameters to identify peritoneal carcinomatosis in the 13 abdominal regions according to the peritoneal cancer index was estimated with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS The metabolic parameter showing the best trade-off between sensitivity and specificity to predict peritoneal extension compared with peritoneal cancer index score was the metabolic tumor volume (MTV), with a Spearman ρ equal to 0.380 (P < 0.001). The AUC of MTV to diagnose peritoneal involvement in the upper abdomen (regions 1, 2, and 3) ranged from 0.740 to 0.765. MTV AUC values were lower in the small bowel regions (9-12), ranging from 0.591 to 0.681, and decreased to 0.487 in the pelvic region 6. 18F-FDG PET/CT also improved the detection of extra-abdominal disease, upstaging 35 patients (41.6%) from stage IIIC to IV compared with CT alone and leading to treatment modification in more than one third of patients. CONCLUSIONS 18F-FDG PET/CT metrics are highly accurate to reflect peritoneal tumor burden, with variable diagnostic value depending on the anatomic region. MTV is the most representative metabolic parameter to assess peritoneal tumor extension.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was to understand the perianesthesia care for patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC). METHOD This is a retrospective study. DESIGN The perioperative electronic medical records of 189 CRS + HIPEC surgical cases at a hospital of Western Pennsylvania from 2012 to 2018 were analyzed to study the characteristics of perianesthesia care for CRS + HIPEC surgery. FINDINGS The patients' median age was 57 (range 21-83) years, and 60% were men. The mean anesthesia time was 10.47 ± 2.54 hours. Most tumors were appendix or colorectal in origin, and the mean peritoneal cancer index score was 16.19 ± 8.76. The mean estimated blood loss was 623 ± 582 mL. The mean total intravenous crystalloid administered was 8,377 ± 4,100 mL. Fifty-two patients received packed red blood cells during surgery. Postoperatively, 100% of the patients were transferred to the intensive care unit. A majority (52%) of patients were extubated in the operating room. Median lengths of hospital and intensive care unit stays were 13 and 2 days, respectively. A majority (73%) of patients had 1 or more postoperative complications and 29% of patients experienced major postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher) during the hospital stay. Prolonged hospitalization was owing to gastrointestinal dysfunctions and respiratory failure related to atelectasis and pleural effusion. CONCLUSIONS CRS + HIPEC is a major surgery with numerous challenges to the perianesthesia care team regarding hemodynamic adjustment, pain control, and postoperative complications, which demand training and future studies from the perianesthesia care team.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a disease's presentation in the advanced stages of many gynecologic tumours. The distribution and volume of the disease are the main factors in achieving complete debulking. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a technique to allow evaluation of the disease. This study's objective is to compare two laparoscopic scores (Fagotti's index and Sugarbaker's peritoneal cancer index (PCI)) and assess the diagnostic accuracy to select patients for neoadjuvant treatment and reduce unnecessary laparotomies. METHODS A non-randomised retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (ovarian and endometrial origin) who underwent laparoscopy and subsequent laparotomy. We evaluated the scores' ability to predict incomplete surgery and whether they were related to the patients' prognosis. RESULTS We included 34 patients, of which 23.5% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The rate of complete cytoreductive surgery was 79.4% (n = 27 patients). The highest sensitivity was obtained with a PCI value greater than 20. It was the best parameter to determine incomplete debulking. Survival curves were analysed according to the "cut off" established for each score, and statically significant differences were found using PCI with respect to Fagotti's Index. However, these differences were not found with Fagotti's score. CONCLUSION The best diagnostic method to classify patients with peritoneal cancer is the PCI. It could be adapted to each surgical team because it allows identifying the "cut off point", which depends on incomplete surgery rate.

Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to clarify differences in microRNA expression according to clinicopathological characteristics, and to investigate if miRNA profiles could predict cytoreductive outcome in patients with FIGO stage IIIC and IV ovarian cancer. Patients enrolled in the Pelvic Mass study between 2004 and 2010, diagnosed and surgically treated for epithelial ovarian cancer, were used for investigation. MicroRNA was profiled from tumour tissue with global microRNA microarray analysis. Differences in miRNA expression profiles were analysed according to histologic subtype, FIGO stage, tumour grade, type I or II tumours and result of primary cytoreductive surgery. One microRNA, miR-130a, which was found to be associated with serous histology and advanced FIGO stage, was also validated using data from external cohorts. Another seven microRNAs (miR-34a, miR-455-3p, miR-595, miR-1301, miR-146-5p, 193a-5p, miR-939) were found to be significantly associated with the clinicopathological characteristics (p ≤ 0.001), in our data, but mere not similarly significant when tested against external cohorts. Further validation in comparable cohorts, with microRNA profiled using newest and similar methods are warranted.

Peroperative scoring systems for predicting the outcome of cytoreductive surgery in advanced-stage ovarian cancer - A systematic review. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2021; 47:1856-1861. [PMID: 33814239 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2021.03.233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2021] [Revised: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The extent of peritoneal metastases (PM) largely determines the possibility of complete or optimal cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer. An objective scoring system to quantify the extent of PM can help clinicians to decide whether or not to embark on CRS. Therefore several scoring systems have been developed by different research teams and this review summarizes their performance in predicting a complete or optimal cytoreduction in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. A systematic search in the MEDLINE database revealed 19 articles that described a total of five main scoring systems to predict the completeness of CRS in patients with FIGO stage III-IV ovarian cancer based on the surgical exploration of the abdominal cavity; PCI, PIV, Eisenkop, Espada, and Kasper. The Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) and the Predictive Index Value (PIV) were mentioned most frequently and showed AUCs of 0.69-0.92 and 0.66-0.98, respectively. Due to the use of different cut-offs sensitivities and specificities greatly varied. Therefore with the current data, no scoring system could be identified as best. An objective measure of the extent of disease can be of great clinical use for identifying ovarian cancer patients for which a complete (or optimal) CRS is achievable, however due to local differences in treatment strategies and surgical policy a widely adopted objective scoring system with a standard cut-off value is not feasible. Nevertheless, objective scoring systems can play an important role to guide treatment decisions.

J Ovarian Res 2021; 14:45.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopy has been widely used for patients with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (eEOC). However, there is limited evidence regarding whether survival outcomes of laparoscopy are equivalent to those of laparotomy among patients with eEOC. The result of survival outcomes of laparoscopy is still controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis is to analyze the survival outcomes of laparoscopy versus laparotomy in the treatment of eEOC. METHODS According to the keywords, Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Clinicaltrials.gov were searched for studies from January 1994 to January 2021. Studies comparing the efficacy and safety of laparoscopy versus laparotomy for patients with eEOC were assessed for eligibility. Only studies including outcomes of overall survival (OS) were enrolled. The meta-analysis was performed using Stata software (Version 12.0) and Review Manager (Version 5.2). RESULTS A total of 6 retrospective non-random studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that there was no difference between two approaches for patients with eEOC in OS (HR = 0.6, P = 0.446), progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 0.6, P = 0.137) and upstaging rate (OR = 1.18, P = 0.54). But the recurrence rate of laparoscopic surgery was lower than that of laparotomic surgery (OR = 0.48, P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopy and laparotomy appear to provide comparable overall survival and progression-free survival outcomes for patients with eEOC. Further high-quality studies are needed to enhance this statement.

Abstract
The mainstay management of advanced ovarian cancer is maximal cytoreductive surgery followed by chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and interval debulking surgery (IDS) are alternative treatments for patients with comorbidity, poor performance status, and predicted for suboptimal debulking surgery. It is the invariable principle in any situation that no residual disease after the completion of surgery is useful for patients with ovarian cancer. Therefore, the prediction of optimal debulking before the treatment of ovarian cancer is of utmost importance. Many studies have reported on the use of serum biomarkers, such as cancer antigen 125 (CA125) or human epididymis 4 (HE4), and imaging studies, such as computed tomography (CT), diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, to identify adequate surgical candidates for primary debulking surgery (PDS). Laparoscopy has also been studied as a reliable tool for the prediction of optimal debulking. Here, we summarize a review of the related literature.

Abstract
Objective To compare survival between primary debulking surgery (PDS) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for the treatment of ovarian cancer patients per our selective protocol. Methods Between Sep 1st, 2015, and Aug 31st, 2017, 161 patients were enrolled in our prospective cohort. All of the patients received preoperative clinic-radiological assessments, according to the Suidan criteria for R0 resection. Patients with a score of 0-2 received PDS. Patients with a score of ≥3 were counseled on the choices of PDS, NACT, or an optional staging laparoscopy, according to the Fagotti criteria. Clinic-pathological data were prospectively collected until May 1st, 2020, and the impacts of different treatment strategies on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Results 110 patients underwent PDS, and 51 patients received NACT with consequent interval debulking surgery. The R0 resection rate was 57.8%. All but one of the patients received platinum-based chemotherapy, and 105 (65.2%) patients were platinum-sensitive. Based on the univariate analysis, the PDS group exhibited prolonged PFS compared with the NACT group (P=0.029). The subgroup analysis showed that patients receiving NACT with residual disease (RD) exhibited the worst PFS (P=0.001). Based on the multivariate analysis, NACT with RD was still an independent impaired factor for PFS (P=0.04). However, NACT did not affect OS in the univariate or multivariate analyses. Conclusion In our prospective cohort, NACT ovarian patients exhibited inferior PFS and noninferior OS compared with PDS patients. Given our selective protocol, NACT cannot be arbitrarily denied while appropriate PDS is still a priority.

Abstract
Some of the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer will not respond to initial therapy. These patients have a poor prognosis. Our aim was to identify patients with a worse prognosis by integrating clinical, pathologic, and genomic data. Using publicly available genomic data and integrating it with clinical data, we significantly improved the prediction of patients with worse surgical outcomes and those who do not respond to initial chemotherapy. We further improved these models with more precise data collection and better understanding of the genetic background of the studied population. Better prediction will lead to better patient classification and opportunities for individualized treatment.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer in the United States and is the country's fifth most common cause of cancer mortality in women. A major challenge in treating ovarian cancer is that most patients have advanced disease at initial diagnosis. These NCCN Guidelines discuss cancers originating in the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum, as these are all managed in a similar manner. Most of the recommendations are based on data from patients with the most common subtypes─high-grade serous and grade 2/3 endometrioid. The NCCN Guidelines also include recommendations specifically for patients with less common ovarian cancers, which in the guidelines include the following: carcinosarcoma, clear cell carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, low-grade serous, grade 1 endometrioid, borderline epithelial, malignant sex cord-stromal, and malignant germ cell tumors. This manuscript focuses on certain aspects of primary treatment, including primary surgery, adjuvant therapy, and maintenance therapy options (including PARP inhibitors) after completion of first-line chemotherapy.

Cost-effectiveness of laparoscopic disease assessment in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. Gynecol Oncol 2021; 161:56-62.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if laparoscopy is a cost-effective way to assess disease resectability in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS A cost-effectiveness analysis from a health care payer perspective was performed comparing two strategies: (1) a standard evaluation strategy, where a conventional approach to treatment planning was used to assign patients to either primary cytoreduction (PCS) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy with interval cytoreduction (NACT), and (2) a laparoscopy strategy, where patients considered candidates for PCS would undergo laparoscopy to triage between PCS or NACT based on the laparoscopy-predicted likelihood of complete gross resection. A microsimulation model was developed that included diagnostic work-up, surgical and adjuvant treatment, perioperative complications, and progression-free survival (PFS). Model parameters were derived from the literature and our published data. Effectiveness was defined in quality-adjusted PFS years. Results were tested with deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA). The willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold was set at $50,000 per year of quality-adjusted PFS. RESULTS The laparoscopy strategy led to additional costs (average additional cost $7034) but was also more effective (average 4.1 months of additional quality-adjusted PFS). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of laparoscopy was $20,376 per additional year of quality-adjusted PFS. The laparoscopy strategy remained cost-effective even as the cost added by laparoscopy increased. The benefit of laparoscopy was influenced by mitigation of serious complications and their associated costs. The laparoscopy strategy was cost-effective across a range of WTP thresholds. CONCLUSIONS Performing laparoscopy is a cost-effective way to improve primary treatment planning for patients with untreated advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic power of CT scan to a combination of exploratory laparoscopy (EXL) and CT scan in patients with stage IIIC-IV Ovarian Cancer (OC) by anatomic areas. To investigate if adding EXL to CT can reduce unnecessary laparotomy. METHODS In the period 2009-2017, 350 consecutive patients with FIGO Stage IIIC-IV OC underwent CT and EXL prior to Visceral-Peritoneal debulking (VPD) and were included in the study. Radiologist and surgeons filled an ad-hoc form to report CT scan and EXL of eleven key anatomic areas. The decision to proceed to EXL was based on the CT scan and the decision to proceed to laparotomy (LPT) on CT and EXL. Setting LPT findings as the gold standard, positive and negative predictive value (PPV/NPV), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CT, EXL and CT + EXL were calculated. We broke down the diagnostic outcomes by anatomic areas and determined the rate of unnecessary laparotomy avoided with the findings of EXL. RESULTS Median time for the EXL was 14 min (SD +/- 3). No complication related to EXL occurred. At EXL, 325 out of 350 patients (93%) proceeded to LPT and 25 patients (7.1%) did not because of exclusion criteria. In 307 patients out of 325 (94.4%) EXL was followed by VPD. Eighteen patients had exclusion criteria found at LPT and had no VPD. EXL reduced the rate of unnecessary/futile laparotomy from 12.2% to 5.1%. CT + EXL showed a significantly higher sensitivity for all anatomic areas except for the lymph nodes. Specificity was not significantly improved. PPV was significantly improved for small bowel, porta hepatis and stomach. NPV displayed a statistical improvement in all anatomic areas except lymph nodes, stomach, and liver. CONCLUSION The combination CT + EXL has a higher diagnostic power than CT alone, particularly on diaphragm, small bowel serosa and mesentery. The rate of unnecessary laparotomy decreased by almost 60%.

Concordance of laparoscopic and laparotomic peritoneal cancer index using a two-step surgical protocol to select patients for cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2021; 303:1295-1304. [PMID: 33389113 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-020-05874-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2019] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of our study was to assess concordance of staging laparoscopy and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) peritoneal cancer index (PCI) when applying a two-step surgical protocol. We also aimed to evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic laparoscopy to triage patients for complete cytoreduction, and to define optimal time between staging laparoscopy and CRS. METHODS We designed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data from patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy followed by a CRS a few weeks later (two-step surgical protocol), from January 2010 to April 2019. Only patients selected for complete cytoreduction, and with available PCI score from both surgeries were included. PCI concordance was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS During the study period 543 patients underwent a laparoscopic staging for ovarian carcinomatosis. Among them, 43 patients fulfilled inclusion criteria. ICC between laparoscopic and laparotomic PCI was 0.54. After applying the linear regression equation: laparoscopic PCI + 0.2 x [days between surgeries] + 2, ICC increased to 0.79. Completeness cytoreduction score and laparoscopic PCI were significantly associated (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.03-1.57, p = 0.03). AUC of laparoscopic PCI to predict complete cytoreduction was 0.90. CONCLUSION Concordance between laparoscopic PCI assessment and PCI score at the end of CRS is fair within a two-step surgical management. Laparoscopic assessment underestimates final PCI score by two points, and this difference increases with the delay between both surgeries. Diagnostic laparoscopy can adequately select patients for CRS, and optimal time to perform it is no more than 10 days after laparoscopy.

The Role of Minimally Invasive Surgery in the Care of Women with Ovarian Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2020; 28:537-543. [PMID: 33202311 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2020.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To synthesize evidence from studies investigating survival outcomes for patients with ovarian cancer undergoing minimally invasive surgery (traditional or robotic laparoscopy) compared with those for patients with ovarian cancer undergoing laparotomy. DATA SOURCES We searched Ovid MEDLINE and Embase (from inception to December 2019). METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION Observational cohort studies and randomized controlled trials that compared risk of recurrence or death between women undergoing minimally invasive and open procedures for staging (10), interval cytoreduction (4), secondary cytoreduction (2), and evaluation of resectability (1) were included. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS Data on the number of participants, number of deaths and recurrences, and results of analyses of overall or progression-free survival were abstracted for all studies. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to pool the results of studies comparing minimally invasive staging and open staging. The surgical approach (minimally invasive versus open) was not significantly associated with hazard of death or recurrence (pooled hazard ratio 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-1.38) or all-cause mortality (pooled hazard ratio 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.49-1.89). One randomized trial demonstrated that diagnostic laparoscopy could triage patients to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and avoid suboptimal primary surgery, without affecting recurrence-free or overall survival. Most studies included in this review were observational and at high risk for bias, and few studies accounted for potential confounding. CONCLUSION Although existing studies do not demonstrate deleterious survival effects associated with minimally invasive surgery for ovarian cancer, these data must be viewed with caution given the significant methodologic shortcomings in the existing literature.

Correlation of surgeon radiology assessment with laparoscopic disease site scoring in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2020; 31:92-97. [PMID: 33154095 DOI: 10.1136/ijgc-2020-001718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiographic triage measures in patients with new advanced ovarian cancer have yielded inconsistent results. OBJECTIVE To determine the correlation between surgeon radiology assessment and laparoscopic scoring by disease sites in patients with newly diagnosed advanced stage ovarian cancer. METHODS Fourteen gynecologic oncology surgeons from a single institution performed a blinded review of pre-operative contrast-enhanced CT imaging from patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer. Each of the patients had also undergone laparoscopic scoring assessment, between April 2013 and December 2017, to determine primary resectability using the validated Fagotti scoring method, and assigned a predictive index value score. Surgeons were asked to provide expected predictive index value scores based on their blinded review of the antecedent CT imaging. Linear mixed models were conducted to calculate the correlation between radiologic and laparoscopic score for surgeons individually, and as a group. Once the model was fit, the inter-class correlation and 95% CI were calculated. RESULTS Radiology review was performed on 20 patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer who underwent laparoscopic scoring assessment. Surgeon faculty rank included assistant professor (n=5), associate professor (p=4), and professor (n=5). The kappa inter-rater agreement was -0.017 (95% CI -0.023 to -0.005), indicating low inter-rater agreement between radiology review and actual laparoscopic score. The inter-class correlation in this model was 0.06 (0.02-0.21), indicating that surgeons do not score the same across all the images. When using a clinical cut-off point for the predictive index value of 8, the probability of agreement between radiology and actual laparoscopic score was 0.56 (95% CI 0.49 to 0.73). Examination of disease site sub-scales showed that the probability of agreement was as follows: peritoneum 0.57 (95% CI 0.51 to 0.62), diaphragm 0.54 (95% CI 0.48 to 0.60), mesentery 0.51 (95% CI 0.45 to 0.57), omentum 0.61 (95% CI 0.55 to 0.67), bowel 0.54 (95% CI 0.44 to 0.64), stomach 0.71 (95% CI 0.65 to 0.76), and liver 0.36 (95% CI 0.31 to 0.42). The number of laparoscopic scoring cases, tumor reductive surgery cases, or faculty rank was not significantly associated with overall or sub-scale agreement. CONCLUSIONS Surgeon radiology review did not correlate highly with actual laparoscopic scoring assessment findings in patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer. Our study highlights the limited accuracy of surgeon radiographic assessment to determine resectability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine trends and outcomes related to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) use for advanced ovarian cancer based on patient and tumor factors. METHODS This retrospective cohort study queried the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program to examine women with stage III-IV high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma from 2010 to 2016. Propensity score inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to assess the age-, cancer stage-, and tumor extent-specific survival estimates related to NACT use. RESULTS Utilization of NACT has significantly increased in older women (≥65 years; 48.4% relative increase), followed by stage IV disease (35.2% relative increase), and stage III disease (25.0% relative increase) (all, P-trend < 0.05). Women who received NACT had overall survival (OS) similar to those who had primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) in older women (hazard ratio [HR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.95-1.20, P = 0.284), stage IV disease (HR 0.96, 95%CI 0.84-1.10, P = 0.564), and more disease extent cases (T3/N1/M1, HR 1.06, 95%CI 0.84-1.32, P = 0.640). Moreover, NACT use was associated with decreased other cause mortality risk compared to PCS in the older women (sub-distribution HR 0.61, 95%CI 0.40-0.94, P = 0.025) and stage IV disease (sub-distribution HR 0.49, 95%CI 0.27-0.90, P = 0.021). In contrast, women who received NACT had decreased OS compared to those who had PCS in the younger group (HR 1.22, 95%CI 1.07-1.38, P = 0.004), stage III disease (HR 1.26, 95%CI 1.13-1.41, P < 0.001), and lesser disease extent cases (T3/N0/M0, HR 1.38, 95%CI 1.20-1.58, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that survival effect of NACT for advanced ovarian cancer may differ based on patient and tumor factors. In older women, stage IV disease, and greater disease extent, NACT was associated with similar OS compared to PCS.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most common histology of ovarian cancer defined as epithelial cancer derived from the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or primary peritoneum. It is the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death in women in the United States. Because of a lack of effective screening and non-specific symptoms, EOC is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage (FIGO stage III or IV) and approximately one third of patients have malignant ascites at initial presentation. The treatment of ovarian cancer consists of a combination of cytoreductive surgery and systemic chemotherapy. Despite the advances with new cytotoxic and targeted therapies, the five-year survival rate for all-stage EOC in the United States is 48.6%. Delivery of up-to-date guideline care and multidisciplinary team efforts are important drivers of overall survival. In this paper, we review our frontline management of EOC that relies on a multi-disciplinary approach drawing on clinical expertise and collaboration combined with community practice and cutting edge clinical and translational research. By optimizing partnerships through team medicine and clinical research, we combine our cancer center clinical expertise, community practice partnership, and clinical and translational research to understand the biology of this deadly disease, advance therapy and connect our patients with the optimal treatment that offers the best possible outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite accurate preoperative imaging assessment, optimal cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy remains unfeasible in many patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis at the time of surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in the selection of candidates. METHODS Prospectively collected data of all patients undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy in our Department were retrospectively analyzed. Demographics and perioperative features as well as operative details and outcome were evaluated. RESULTS The study included 744 consecutive patients. Primary ovarian tumors were the most common indications, followed by gastric tumors and recurrent colorectal cancers. The procedure was successfully completed in 99.73% of cases. Approximately two thirds of them (68%) had undergone previous surgical procedures. The presence of ascites was recorded in 482 patients (64.78%). A total of 374 (50.3%) patients were excluded from surgical exploration. Among those who eventually underwent surgery, CC0 resection was obtained in 64.6% (239) of cases. Understaging of peritoneal carcinomatosis was observed in 11 patients (1.48%). Postoperative mortality was null and 5 (0.8%) complications were observed. Three (0.4%) port-site metastases were recorded at the beginning of the experience. CONCLUSION Diagnostic laparosocopy is a safe and feasible tool able to improve the selection of patients eligible for cytoreduction with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, at the same time allowing avoiding a significant number of unnecessary laparotomies.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecologic cancer, in part due to late presentation. Many women have vague early symptoms and present with disseminated disease. Cytoreductive surgery can be extensive, involving multiple organ systems. Novel therapies and recent clinical trials have provided evidence that, compared to primary cytoreduction, neoadjuvant chemotherapy has equivalent survival outcomes with less morbidity. There is increasing need for validated tools and mechanisms for clinicians to determine the optimal management of ovarian cancer patients.

Are Epithelial Ovarian Cancers of the Mesenchymal Subtype Actually Intraperitoneal Metastases to the Ovary? Front Cell Dev Biol 2020; 8:647.

Abstract
Primary ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) has been classified into 4 molecular subtypes: Immunoreactive, Proliferative, Differentiated, and Mesenchymal (Mes), of which the Mes subtype (Mes-HGSC) is associated with the worst clinical outcomes. We propose that Mes-HGSC comprise clusters of cancer and associated stromal cells that detached from tumors in the upper abdomen/omentum and disseminated in the peritoneal cavity, including to the ovary. Using comparative analyses of multiple transcriptomic data sets, we provide the following evidence that the phenotype of Mes-HGSC matches the phenotype of tumors in the upper abdomen/omentum: (1) irrespective of the primary ovarian HGSC molecular subtype, matched upper abdominal/omental metastases were typically of the Mes subtype, (2) the Mes subtype was present at the ovarian site only in patients with concurrent upper abdominal/omental metastases and not in those with HGSC confined to the ovary, and (3) ovarian Mes-HGSC had an expression profile characteristic of stromal cells in the upper abdominal/omental metastases. We suggest that ovarian Mes-HGSC signifies advanced intraperitoneal tumor dissemination to the ovary rather than a subtype of primary ovarian HGSC. This is consistent with the presence of upper abdominal/omental disease, suboptimal debulking, and worst survival previously reported in patients with ovarian Mes-HGSC compared to other molecular subtypes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe outcomes using a multimodal algorithm to triage patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) to primary debulking surgery (PDS) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). METHODS All patients with EOC treated at our institution from 04/2015-08/2018 were identified. We included patients without contraindication to PDS who underwent prospective calculation of a Resectability (R)-score. A low risk score for suboptimal cytoreduction was defined as ≤6, and a high risk score ≥7. Patients were triaged to laparotomy/PDS, laparoscopic evaluation of resectability (LSC), or NACT depending on R-score. RESULTS Among 299 participants, 226 (76%) had a low risk score and 73 (24%) a high risk score. For patients with a low risk score, management included laparotomy/PDS, 181 (80%); LSC, 43 (19%) (with subsequent triage: PDS, 31; NACT, 12); and NACT, 2 (1%). For patients with a high risk score, management included laparotomy/PDS, 9 (12%); LSC, 51 (70%) (with subsequent triage: PDS, 28; NACT, 23); and NACT, 13 (18%). Overall, 83% underwent PDS, with a 75% CGR rate and 94% optimal cytoreduction rate. Use of the algorithm resulted in a 31% LSC rate and a 6% rate of suboptimal PDS. CONCLUSIONS The multimodal algorithm led to excellent surgical results; 94% of patients achieved an optimal resection, with a very low rate of suboptimal cytoreduction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Laparoscopy is one of the diagnostic tools available for the complex clinical decision-making process in advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal carcinoma. This article presents the results of a survey conducted within the European Network of Gynaecological Oncology Trial (ENGOT) group aimed at reviewing the current patterns of practice at gynecologic oncology centers with regard to the evaluation of resection in advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal carcinoma. METHODS A 24-item questionnaire was sent to the chair of the 20 cooperative groups that are currently part of the ENGOT group, and forwarded to the members within each group. RESULTS A total of 142 questionnaires were returned. Only 39 respondents (27.5%) reported using some form of clinical (not operative) score for the evaluation of resection. The frequency of use of diagnostic laparoscopy to assess disease status and feasibility of resection was as follows: never, 21 centers (15%); only in select cases, 83 centers (58.5%); and routinely, 36 centers (25.4%). When laparoscopy was performed, 64% of users declared they made the decision to proceed with maximal effort cytoreductive surgery based on their personal/staff opinion, and 36% based on a laparoscopic score. To the question of whether laparoscopy should be considered the gold standard in the evaluation of resection, 71 respondents (50%) answered no, 66 respondents (46.5%) answered yes, whereas 5 respondents (3.5%) did not provide an answer. CONCLUSIONS This study found that laparoscopy was routinely performed to assess feasibility of cytoreduction in only 25.4% of centers in Europe. However, it was commonly used to select patients and in a minority of centers it was never used . When laparoscopy was adopted, the treatment strategy was based on laparoscopic scores only in a minority of centers.

Interval debulking surgery is not worth the wait: a National Cancer Database study comparing primary cytoreductive surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2020; 30:845-852. [PMID: 32341114 PMCID: PMC7362882 DOI: 10.1136/ijgc-2019-001124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 02/12/2020] [Accepted: 03/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective In previous studies, neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery was not inferior to primary cytoreductive surgery as initial treatment for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Our study aimed to compare surgical and survival outcomes between the two treatments in a large national database. Methods Data were extracted from the National Cancer Database from January 2004 to December 2015. Patients with FIGO (International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians) stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer and known sequence of treatment were included: primary cytoreductive (surgery=26 717 and neoadjuvant chemotherapy=9885). Tubal and primary peritoneal cancer diagnostic codes were not included. Residual disease after treatment was defined based on recorded data: R0 defined as microscopic or no residual disease; R1 defined as macroscopic residual disease. Multivariate Cox proportional HR was used for survival analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to compare mortality between groups. Outcomes were adjusted for significant covariates. Validation was performed using propensity score matching of significant covariates. Results A total of 36 602 patients were included in the analysis. Patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery had better survival than those treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval surgery, after adjusting for age, co-morbidities, stage, and residual disease (p<0.001). Primary cytoreductive surgery patients with R0 disease had best median survival (62.6 months, 95% CI 60.5–64.5). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients with R1 disease had worst median survival (29.5 months, 95% CI 28.4–31.9). There were small survival differences between primary cytoreductive surgery with R1 (38.9 months) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy with R0 (41.8 months) (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.0), after adjusting for age, co-morbidities, grade, histology, and stage. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy had 3.5 times higher 30-day mortality after surgery than primary cytoreductive surgery (95% CI 2.46 to 5.64). The 90-day mortality was higher for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in multivariate analysis (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.61) but similar to primary cytoreductive surgery after excluding high-risk patients. Conclusions Most patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer may benefit from primary cytoreductive surgery. Patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be those with co-morbidities unfit for surgery.

Abstract
Objective The primary objective was to assess the feasibility of robotic-assisted interval cytoreductive surgery for achieving complete cytoreduction for patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer. The secondary objective was to examine the perioperative outcomes. Methods A retrospective study of 12 patients with stage IIIC or IV ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal carcinoma who underwent interval cytoreductive surgery after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Results Optimal cytoreduction was achieved in 100% of selected patients. Complete cytoreductive surgery was achieved in 75% of patients. The estimated mean blood loss was 100 mL. The median length of hospital stay was 2 days. Perioperative complication and 30-day readmission rates were 8.3% (1 patient). The median follow-up time was 9.5 months. Conclusion Robotic-assisted interval cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer is safe and feasible and may be an alternative to standard laparotomy in selected patients.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of MDCT and laparoscopy in the prediction of peritoneal carcinomatosis index score. Reproducibility of MDCT interpretation was also assessed. METHODS This prospective study included 85 ovarian cancer patients underwent MDCT and diagnostic laparoscopy before cytoreductive surgery. We calculated the accuracy of diagnostic modalities in the calculation of the peritoneal cancer index score (PCI). Radiologist interobserver agreement was calculated using kappa statistics. RESULTS Nine hundred-thirty (84.2%) of the 1105 regions had peritoneal deposits at exploratory laparotomy. Computed tomography (CT) and laparoscopy sensitivity were 94.9%, 98.3%, specificity 86.7%, 80.4%, PPV 97.9 %, 96.8%, NPV 72.2%, 88.8 %, and accuracy 93.8 %, 95.7%, respectively. However, computed tomography (CT) diagnostic performance is less accurate than laparoscopy in pelvic and small intestinal regions; no statistically significant differences were evident regarding total PCI score compared to surgery (p> 0.05). CT and laparoscopy correctly depicted peritoneal carcinomatosis in 88.2%, 90.6% of patients, respectively. Optimal cytoreduction was achieved in 68 (80%) patients. CONCLUSION Both CT and laparoscopy seems to be effective tools for assessment of peritoneal carcinomatosis using the PCI score. Dedicated MDCT protocol with routine use of a standardized PCI form may provide better comprehensive multi-regional analysis that may help surgeons referring patients to the best treatment option. Laparoscopy is a valuable tool in cases with a high risk of suboptimal cytoreduction related to disease extent.

Role of diagnostic laparoscopy in patients with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the ovary with cancerous peritonitis: case report and review of the literature. J Ovarian Res 2019; 12:95. [PMID: 31615543 PMCID: PMC6792242 DOI: 10.1186/s13048-019-0571-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2019] [Accepted: 09/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is a very rare ovarian neoplasm that has a poor clinical outcome even in the early stage, and there is as yet no established treatment. Diagnostic laparoscopy has been used to determine the possibility of primary optimal cytoreductive surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the role of diagnostic laparoscopy is still unclear in large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma due to its rarity. Case presentation A 31-year-old woman with abdominal distention was referred to our hospital. She was strongly suspected of having advanced ovarian cancer because of a huge pelvic mass, massive ascites, and their appearance on medical imaging. However, cytological examinations from ascitic fluid by abdominal paracentesis did not show any malignant cells. She underwent diagnostic laparoscopy to evaluate the possibility of primary optimal cytoreductive surgery, and only tissue sampling was performed for pathological diagnosis because of the countless disseminated lesions of various sizes in the intraperitoneal organs. The patient had no postoperative complications, leading to the early start of postoperative chemotherapy. Conclusions To date, there have been no systematic reviews that focused on determining the treatment strategy using laparoscopy. Diagnostic laparoscopy can be helpful to determine the optimal treatment, including primary debulking surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or best supportive care, assisting in decision-making particularly for patients with advanced large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma with carcinomatous peritonitis.

Laparoscopic Surgical Algorithm to Triage the Timing of Tumor Reductive Surgery in Advanced Ovarian Cancer. Obstet Gynecol 2019; 132:545-554.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the effects of a laparoscopic scoring algorithm to triage patients with advanced ovarian cancer to immediate or delayed debulking to improve complete gross surgical resection rates and determine the resulting clinical outcomes. METHODS We prospectively performed laparoscopic assessment on patients with suspected advanced-stage ovarian cancer from April 2013 to December 2016 to determine primary resectability at tumor reductive surgery. Patients with medically inoperable or distant metastatic disease received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Two-surgeon scoring was performed in a blinded fashion using a validated scoring method. Patients with predictive index value scores less than 8 were offered primary surgery and those with scores 8 or greater received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed for effects on progression-free survival. RESULTS Six hundred twenty-one patients presenting with presumed advanced ovarian cancer were evaluated during the study period and 488 patients met inclusion criteria. Two hundred fifteen patients underwent laparoscopic scoring, of whom 125 had predictive index value scores less than 8 and 84 had predictive index value scores 8 or greater. Blinded two-surgeon predictive index value scoring resulted in bivariate discordance in only 2% of patients. Tumor cytoreduction led to no gross residual disease (R0 resection) in 88% of patients in the primary surgery group and 74% in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group. Patients triaged to primary surgery had an improved progression-free survival of 21.4 months versus 12.9 months in those patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P<.001). Median progression-free survival by treatment group and residual disease status was as follows: primary surgery-R0 23.5 months; primary surgery-R1 (any gross residual disease) 17.6 months; neoadjuvant chemotherapy-R0 15.5 months; and neoadjuvant chemotherapy-R1 12.9 months (P<.001). On multivariate analysis for progression-free survival, baseline CA 125 (P=.001) and gross residual disease at tumor reductive surgery (P=.01) were significantly associated with progression-free survival. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic triage assessment allowed for a personalized approach to the management of patients with advanced ovarian cancer and resulted in high complete surgical resection rates at tumor reductive surgery.
