Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate whether extended dosing of antibiotics (ABX) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with large bowel resection for advanced ovarian cancer is associated with reduced incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) compared to standard intra-operative dosing and evaluate predictors of SSI. METHODS A retrospective single-institution cohort study was performed in patients with stage III/IV ovarian cancer who underwent CRS from 2009 to 2017. Patients were divided into two cohorts: 1) standard intra-operative dosing ABX and 2) extended post-operative ABX. All ABX dosing was at the surgeon's discretion. The impact of antibiotic duration on SSI and other postoperative outcomes was assessed using univariate and multivariable Cox regression models. RESULTS In total, 277 patients underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with large bowel resection between 2009 and 2017. Forty-nine percent (n = 137) received standard intra-operative ABX and 50.5% (n = 140) received extended post-operative ABX. Rectosigmoid resection was the most common large bowel resection in the standard ABX (89.9%, n = 124) and extended ABX groups (90.0%, n = 126), respectively. No significant differences existed between age, BMI, hereditary predisposition, or medical comorbidities (p > 0.05). No difference was appreciated in the development of superficial incisional SSI between the standard ABX and extended ABX cohorts (10.9% vs. 12.9%, p = 0.62). Of patients who underwent a transverse colectomy, a larger percentage of patients developed a superficial SSI versus no SSI (21% vs. 6%, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION(S) In this retrospective study of patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing CRS with LBR, extended post-operative ABX was not associated with reduced SSI, and prolonged administration of antibiotics should be avoided unless clinically indicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rate of stoma closure after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) ± hypethermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is reportedly low. This study aimed to assess predictors of stoma reversal. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent CRS with temporary ostomy at our center between 2009 and 2021, and compared reversed versus non-reversed patients. RESULTS Out of 625 CRS, 72 (11.5%) patients were included (median age 62 years, 65% female, 75% with HIPEC): 53 (74%) achieved stoma closure. Reversed patients had less high grade tumors, more appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, less ovarian primaries, and more loop ileostomies. The most common reason for non-reversal was disease progression or death (14 cases, 74%). At multivariate analysis, low/intermediate grade tumor differentiation was associated with higher stoma closure rate. CONCLUSION In our study, 74% of patients achieved stoma closure after CRS with temporary ostomy. The strongest predictor of stoma closure was a low/intermediate grade tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tension-free abdominal closure is a primary tenet of laparotomy. But this concept neglects the baseline tension of the abdominal wall. Ideally, abdominal closure should be tailored to restore native physiologic tension. We sought to quantify the tension needed to re-establish the linea alba in patients undergoing exploratory laparotomy. METHODS Patients without ventral hernias undergoing laparotomy at a single institution were enrolled from December 2021 to September 2022. Patients who had undergone prior laparotomy were included. Exclusion criteria included prior incisional hernia repair, presence of an ostomy, large-volume ascites, and large intra-abdominal tumors. After laparotomy, a sterilizable tensiometer measured the quantitative tension needed to bring the fascial edge to the midline. Outcomes included the force needed to bring the fascial edge to the midline and the association of BMI, incision length, and prior lateral incisions on abdominal wall tension. RESULTS This study included 86 patients, for a total of 172 measurements (right and left for each patient). Median patient BMI was 26.4 kg/m2 (IQR 22.9;31.5), and median incision length was 17.0 cm (IQR 14;20). Mean tension needed to bring the myofascial edge to the midline was 0.97 lbs. (SD 1.03). Mixed-effect multivariable regression modeling found that increasing BMI and greater incision length were associated with higher abdominal wall tension (coefficient 0.04, 95% CI [0.01,0.07]; p = 0.004, coefficient 0.04, 95% CI [0.01,0.07]; p = 0.006, respectively). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing laparotomy, the tension needed to re-establish the linea alba is approximately 1.94 lbs. A quantitative understanding of baseline abdominal wall tension may help surgeons tailor abdominal closure in complex scenarios, including ventral hernia repairs and open or burst abdomens.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Cervical cancer patients often face significant barriers to receiving high quality, multi-disciplinary standard of care therapy due to socio-economic factors and failures in the health care system. Other cancers, such as rectal cancer, requiring complex multi-disciplinary care, have shown improved outcomes with the use of standardized quality metrics. We hypothesized that developing evidence-based quality metrics for cervical cancer and tracking adherence in a large tertiary care medical system would allow identification of systemic issues that can then be addressed to improve quality of care and patient outcomes. We also implemented a weekly cervical cancer huddle in September 2021 attended by a physician, nurse practitioner, social workers, and other caregivers to discuss all newly diagnosed patients prior to treatment with a focus on improving quality in real time. Here we report our initial results. MATERIALS/METHODS AnIRB-approved retrospective review of cervical cancer patients treated at our institution from January 2019 to December 2022 was performed using a data collection web application. We assessed quality metrics in newly diagnosed patients including: tumor board presentation, outside pathology review, receipt of PET-CT/MRI prior to treatment start, use of radiology and pathology synoptic reports, receipt of external beam radiation and brachytherapy, completion of chemotherapy and radiation within 56 days, receipt of post-treatment PET-CT, referral to social work, and laparotomy for radical hysterectomy. In addition, we tracked the impact of the "huddle" on pre-treatment quality metrics before and after implementation. RESULTS One hundred seventy-three patients were identified with newly diagnosed cervical cancer; most were squamous cell carcinoma (61%). 44% were stage I, 39% stage II or III, and 16% stage IV. Over the entire study period, 65% of patients completed imaging prior to treatment start, 73% had a radiology synoptic report on MRI, 71% of hysterectomy patients had pathology synoptic reports, 90% of eligible patients had receipt of both external beam radiation and brachytherapy, 91% of eligible patients had completion of chemotherapy and radiation within 56 days, and 96% had a post-treatment PET-CT within 3-6 months. The impact of the huddle on pre-treatment quality metrics was evident: tumor board presentation increased from 38% to 73%, social work referral increased from 42% to 59%, outside pathology review increased from 64% to 83%, and use of laparotomy increased from 67% to 81%. CONCLUSION Definingquality metrics in cervical cancer and tracking adherence can help identify areas of improvement in the continuum of care in a large healthcare system. A dedicated weekly huddle can help reduce barriers to diagnosis and initiation of treatment with earlier and increased referral to social work and increased multi-disciplinary review and discussion that can affect patient treatment and subsequent outcomes. Future work will focus on implementation of systemic processes to improve adherence to metrics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gynecologic cancers are traditionally managed according to their presumed site of origin, without regard to the underlying histologic subtype. Clear cell histology is associated with chemotherapy refractoriness and poor survival. Mutations in SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex member ARID1A, which encodes for BAF250a protein, are common in clear cell and endometriosis-associated endometrioid carcinomas. High-throughput cell-based drug screening predicted activity of dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in ARID1A-mutant clear cell carcinoma. METHODS We conducted a phase 2 clinical trial of dasatinib 140 mg once daily by mouth in patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian and endometrial clear cell carcinoma. Patients with measurable disease were enrolled and then assigned to biomarker-defined populations based on BAF250a immunohistochemistry. The translational endpoints included broad next-generation sequencing to assess concordance of protein expression and treatment outcomes. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients, 15 of whom had tumors with retained BAF250a and 13 with loss of BAF250a were evaluable for treatment response and safety. The most common grade 3 adverse events were anemia, fatigue, dyspnea, hyponatremia, pleural effusion, and vomiting. One patient had a partial response, eight (28%) had stable disease, and 15 (53.6%) had disease progression. Twenty-three patients had next-generation sequencing results; 13 had a pathogenic ARID1A alteration. PIK3CA mutations were more prevalent in ARID1A-mutant tumors, while TP53 mutations were more prevalent in ARID1A wild-type tumors. CONCLUSIONS Dasatinib was not an effective single-agent treatment for recurrent or persistent ovarian and endometrial clear cell carcinoma. Studies are urgently needed for this rare gynecologic subtype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients commonly use the internet to obtain medical information. Patients in our outpatient setting frequently have incomplete or even incorrect information about hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy that they have found on the internet. We aimed to assess the quality and content of Web-based information on hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy using validated and novel scoring systems. METHODS The keywords "HIPEC" and "hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy" were entered into the most commonly used internet search engines (Google, Bing, and Yahoo). The first 10 websites from each search were analyzed. Website quality was assessed using the validated Journal of the American Medical Association benchmark criteria and DISCERN scoring systems. We created a novel hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy-specific score with surgeon experts in the field. RESULTS Eighteen unique websites were identified. The majority (78%) were from academic institutions. The mean total DISCERN score for all websites was 41.8 ± 8.4 (maximum possible points = 75). The mean Journal of the American Medical Association and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy-specific scores were 1.72 ± 1.13 (maximum possible score = 4) and 11.5 ± 4.5 (maximum possible score = 31), respectively. The lowest Journal of the American Medical Association scores were in the category of authorship. In total, 78% of websites omitted author details; 83% and 78% included the temperature and duration of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, respectively. Only 39% of websites mentioned complications of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Web-based information on hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is of variable content and quality. None of the websites achieved maximum scores using any of the scoring tools. Less than half of the websites provided any information on possible complications of the procedure. These findings should be highlighted to patients using the internet to obtain information about hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, and toxicity of carboplatin and gemcitabine administered on day 1 and day 8 (day1&8) versus a modified day 1-only regimen in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. METHODS A retrospective single-institution cohort study was performed in women with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer between January 2009 and December 2020 treated with carboplatin and gemcitabine on a 21-day cycle. The impact of dosing schedule on response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, and toxicities was assessed with univariate and multivariate models. RESULTS Of 200 patients, 26% (n=52) completed day 1&8, 21.5% (n=43) started day 1&8 but dropped day 8, and 52.5% (n=105) received day 1-only. There were no differences in demographics. Median starting carboplatin and gemcitabine doses were area under curve (AUC) 5 and 600 mg/m2 for day 1-only versus AUC4 and 750 mg/m2 among day 1&8, respectively (p<0.001). A total of 43 patients (45.3%) dropped day 8 primarily due to neutropenia (51.2%) or thrombocytopenia (30.2%). The response rates were 69.3% for day 1&8-completed, 67.5% for day 1&8-dropped, and 67.6% for day 1-only (p=0.92). Median progression-free survival was 13.1, 12.1, and 12.4 months for day 1&8-completed, day 1&8-dropped, and day 1-only, respectively (p=0.29). Median overall survival was 28.2, 33.5, and 34.3 months for the above groups (p=0.42). The rate of grade 3/4 hematologic toxicity (48.9% vs 31.4%, p=0.002), dose reductions (58.9% vs 33.7%, p<0.001), blood transfusions (22.1% vs 10.5%, p=0.025), and treatment with pegfilgrastim (64.2% vs 51%, p=0.059) were higher among day 1&8 versus day 1-only, respectively. CONCLUSIONS There was no difference in response rate, progression-free survival, or overall survival for day 1&8 versus day 1-only, regardless of whether day 8 was dropped. Day 1&8 was associated with greater hematologic toxicity. A modified day 1-only regimen may represent an alternative to day 1&8 and warrants prospective study.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer is an aggressive disease of the female reproductive system and a leading cause of cancer death in women. Standard of care includes surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, yet patients continue to experience a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) treatment in highly selective patients extends overall survival by nearly 12 months. The clinical studies are highly supportive of the use of HIPEC in the treatment of ovarian cancer, though the therapeutic approach is limited to academic medical centers. The mechanism underlying HIPEC benefit remains unknown. The efficacy of HIPEC therapy is impacted by several procedural and patient/tumor factors including the timing of surgery, platinum sensitivity, and molecular profiling such as homologous recombination deficiency. The present review aims to provide insight into the mechanistic benefit of HIPEC treatment with a focus on how hyperthermia activates the immune response, induces DNA damage, impairs DNA damage repair pathways, and has a synergistic effect with chemotherapy, with the ultimate outcome of increasing chemosensitivity. Identifying the points of fragility unmasked by HIPEC may provide the key pathways that could be the basis of new therapeutic strategies for ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) To assess incidence and oncologic outcomes in women with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) with inguinal lymph node metastasis (ILNM) at diagnosis. METHODS An IRB-approved, retrospective single-institution cohort study was performed in women with stage III/IV EOC from 2009 to 2017. Patients with inguinal lymphadenopathy (defined as >1 cm in short axis) clinically or radiographically were identified. The impact of ILNM on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed. RESULTS Of the 562 women with advanced EOC, 18 (3.2%) had ILNM at diagnosis, accounting for 25.7% of all patients with stage IVB disease (n = 70). Five patients (27.7%) had a known genetic predisposition for EOC, including BRCA1 (11.1%, n = 2), BRCA2 (11.1%, n = 2) and BRIP1 (5.6%, n = 1). The majority of patients underwent optimal primary cytoreductive surgery (CRS), including debulking of inguinal nodal metastasis (83.3%, n = 15), with 50% (n = 9) having no gross residual disease after surgery. There was no difference in PFS (19.9 vs. 19.9 vs. 17.2 months, p = 0.84) or OS (137.2 vs. 52.9 vs. 67.6 months, p = 0.29) in women with stage III/IV with ILNM, stage III/IV without ILNM, and stage IVB disease without ILNM, respectively. Progression-free survival was improved in women with ILNM who underwent an optimal resection to no macroscopic disease vs. non-optimal resection (27.4 vs. 14.3 months, p = 0.019). Median overall survival at the time of analysis did not reach statistical significance (137.2 vs. 57.3 months, p = 0.24). CONCLUSION(S) In this retrospective cohort study, 3.2% of women with advanced EOC presented with ILNM at diagnosis. Although ILNM did not portend worse clinical outcomes compared to all Stage III/IV and Stage IVB patients, respectively, resection to no gross residual disease was associated with improved PFS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate perioperative outcomes in elderly versus non-elderly women with advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS A single-institution prospective registry was analyzed for women with ovarian cancer who underwent surgery with HIPEC from January 2014 to December 2020. Elderly age was defined as ≥65 years at surgery. Complications were defined according to the Accordion scale. Univariate and multivariable analysis was used to compare progression-free survival and overall survival. RESULTS Of 127 women who underwent surgery with HIPEC, 33.1% (n=42) were ≥65 and 17.3% (n=22) were ≥70 years old. The median age for non-elderly and elderly patients were 55.7±8.3 versus 72.0±5.4 years, respectively (p<0.001). The majority of non-elderly versus elderly patients underwent HIPEC at the time of interval cytoreductive surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (52.9% vs 73.8%, p=0.024). There were no differences in moderate (15.3% vs 26.2%) or severe postoperative complications (10.6% vs 11.9%, p=0.08), acute kidney injury (7.1% vs 16.7%, p=0.12), and length of stay (5.0 vs 5.0 days, p=0.56) for non-elderly versus elderly patients. With a median follow-up of 20 months (95% CI 9.1 to 32.7 months), there was no difference in progression-free survival (18.8 vs 15.7 months, p=0.75) or overall survival (61.6 months vs not estimable, p=0.72) for non-elderly versus elderly patients. Comparing patients 65-69 versus ≥70 years, progression-free survival (33.0 vs 12.5 months, p=0.002) was significantly improved in patients aged 65-69, without difference in overall survival (not estimable vs 36.0 months, p=0.91). On multivariable analysis, age ≥65 did not impact progression-free survival (p=0.74). CONCLUSIONS In this prospective registry of women with ovarian cancer, perioperative morbidity is not increased for non-elderly versus elderly patients following surgery with HIPEC. While age should not exclude patients from surgery with HIPEC, additional research is needed regarding oncologic benefits in elderly women.

Abstract
Objective To identify factors associated with non-completion of intraperitoneal with intravenous chemotherapy [IP/IV] in women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods This was an Institutional Review Board approved, retrospective cohort study in women with stage III EOC following optimal cytoreductive surgery (CRS) (<1 cm) followed by IP/IV chemotherapy from 2000–2016. Demographic, surgical, and oncologic variables were collected. Pearson χ2 test and 2 sample t-test evaluated for variables associated with IP/IV chemotherapy completion. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results Of 96 women, 71.9% (n=69) completed 6 cycles of IP/IV chemotherapy. The majority had high grade serous histology (n=82; 85.4%) and stage IIIC disease (n=83; 86.5%). Common reasons for IP/IV chemotherapy discontinuation were grade 3–4 gastrointestinal (n=10; 37.0%), neurologic (n=6; 22.2%), hematologic (n=3; 11.1%), renal toxicities (n=3; 11.1%) and port infections (n=3; 11.1%). Incidence of IP port complications was 20.8% (n=20). Port complications (48.0% vs. 11.6%; p<0.001) and hospitalization during chemotherapy (29.6% vs. 2.9%; p<0.001) were more frequent in patients who discontinued IP/IV chemotherapy. Patients who completed IP/IV chemotherapy had higher rates of home discharge following CRS (92.2% vs. 72.0%; p<0.01) and lower Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score (0 vs. 1.0; p=0.04). There was no significant difference in PFS (p=0.51) nor OS (p=0.38) between the cohorts. Conclusion In this series, the rate of IP/IV chemotherapy completion is high. Non-home discharge and higher ECOG status following CRS are associated with IP/IV chemotherapy non-completion and should be considered in treatment planning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of extended duration pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in women with recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma (rEOC). METHODS Women with rEOC who received >7 cycles of PLD were retrospectively identified. Response was determined by RECIST 1.1. Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from PLD initiation. Toxicity was assessed by CTCAE v5.0. Kaplan Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards were used to evaluate differences in time to recurrence or survival. RESULTS 69 patients with rEOC received a median of 11.0 cycles (range, 7-115) at a median cumulative dose of 400 mg/m2 (range, 210-4600 mg/m2); 29.0% (n = 20) had platinum sensitive and 71.0% (n = 49) had platinum resistant disease. Of the observed grade ¾ toxicities (31.9%; n = 22), dermatologic were most frequent (n = 13; 18.8%). 41 women (59.4%) experienced clinical benefit; complete response in 17.4% (n = 12), partial response in 13.0% (n = 9) and stable disease in 29.0% (n = 20). Median PFS for all patients was 13.0 months (95% CI, 10.7, 15.2); there were no significant differences between platinum sensitive versus resistant disease (15.9 months vs. 12.3 months; HR 1.15, 95% CI, 0.66, 2.00; p = .61). With extended duration PLD, median OS was 40.2 months (95% CI 30.0, 49.0); no significant differences were noted for platinum sensitive versus resistant disease (44.7 months vs. 33.3 months; HR 1.85, 95% CI, 0.91, 3.78; p = .07). Four cases (5.8%) of oral squamous cell carcinoma occurred during treatment. CONCLUSIONS Among women with both platinum sensitive and resistant rEOC who received >7 cycles of PLD, approximately one-half experienced sustained clinical benefit with acceptable toxicity. PLD may be considered for extended usage and maintenance in initially responding women with rEOC at least stable disease.

Abstract
There has been little progress in the use of patient-derived xenografts (PDX) to guide individual therapeutic strategies. In part, this can be attributed to the operational challenges of effecting successful engraftment and testing multiple candidate drugs in a clinically workable timeframe. It also remains unclear whether the ancestral tumor will evolve along similar evolutionary trajectories in its human and rodent hosts in response to similar selective pressures (i.e., drugs). Herein, we combine a metastatic clear cell adenocarcinoma PDX with a timely 3 mouse x 1 drug experimental design, followed by a co-clinical trial to longitudinally guide a patient's care. Using this approach, we accurately predict response to first- and second-line therapies in so far as tumor response in mice correlated with the patient's clinical response to first-line therapy (gemcitabine/nivolumab), development of resistance and response to second-line therapy (paclitaxel/neratinib) before these events were observed in the patient. Treatment resistance to first-line therapy in the PDX is coincident with biologically relevant changes in gene and gene set expression, including upregulation of phase I/II drug metabolism (CYP2C18, UGT2A, and ATP2A1) and DNA interstrand cross-link repair (i.e., XPA, FANCE, FANCG, and FANCL) genes. A total of 5.3% of our engrafted PDX collection is established within 2 weeks of implantation, suggesting our experimental designs can be broadened to other cancers. These findings could have significant implications for PDX-based avatars of aggressive human cancers.

Abstract
CD55 is a membrane complement regulatory protein that attenuates complement-mediated cytotoxicity. Saygin et al. elucidate a new role for CD55 as a signaling hub for cancer stem cell self-renewal and cisplatin resistance pathways in endometrioid tumors and open a new line of research into chemotherapeutic-refractory cancers. Effective targeting of cancer stem cells (CSCs) requires neutralization of self-renewal and chemoresistance, but these phenotypes are often regulated by distinct molecular mechanisms. Here we report the ability to target both of these phenotypes via CD55, an intrinsic cell surface complement inhibitor, which was identified in a comparative analysis between CSCs and non-CSCs in endometrioid cancer models. In this context, CD55 functions in a complement-independent manner and required lipid raft localization for CSC maintenance and cisplatin resistance. CD55 regulated self-renewal and core pluripotency genes via ROR2/JNK signaling and in parallel cisplatin resistance via lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) signaling, which induced DNA repair genes. Targeting LCK signaling via saracatinib, an inhibitor currently undergoing clinical evaluation, sensitized chemoresistant cells to cisplatin. Collectively, our findings identify CD55 as a unique signaling node that drives self-renewal and therapeutic resistance through a bifurcating signaling axis and provides an opportunity to target both signaling pathways in endometrioid tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Women with advanced-stage, low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSC) have low chemotherapy response rates and poor overall survival. Most LGSC tumors overexpress hormone receptors, which represent a potential treatment target. Our study objective was to determine the outcomes of patients with advanced-stage LGSC treated with primary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hormone therapy (HT). METHODS A retrospective study was performed at two academic cancer centers. Patients with Stage II-IV LGSC underwent either primary or interval CRS followed by adjuvant HT between 2004 and 2016. Gynecologic pathologists reviewed all cases. Two-year progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients were studied; primary CRS followed by HT were administered in 26, while 1 patient had neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by CRS and HT. The median patient age was 47.5, and patients had Stage II (n=2), Stage IIIA (n=6), Stage IIIC (n=18), and Stage IV (n=1) disease. Optimal cytoreduction to no gross residual was achieved in 85.2%. Ninety six percent of tumors expressed estrogen receptors, while only 32% expressed progesterone receptors. Letrozole was administered post operatively in 55.5% cases, anastrozole in 37.1% and tamoxifen in 7.4%. After a median follow up of 41months, only 6 patients (22.2%) have developed a tumor recurrence and two patients have died of disease. Median PFS and OS have not yet been reached, but 2-year PFS and OS were 82.8% and 96.3%, respectively, and 3-year PFS and OS were 79.0% and 92.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our series describes the initial experience with cytoreductive surgery and hormonal monotherapy for women with Stage II-IV primary ovarian LGSC. While surgery remains the mainstay of treatment, chemotherapy may not be necessary in patients with advanced-stage disease who receive adjuvant hormonal therapy. A cooperative group, Phase III trial is planned to define the optimal therapy for women with this ovarian carcinoma subtype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the molecular profile of a large cohort of uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) and ovarian serous carcinoma (EOC-S). METHODS 628 UPSC and 5335 EOC-S tumors were evaluated using a commercial multiplatform profiling service (CARIS Life Sciences, Phoenix, AZ). Specific testing performed included a combination of gene sequencing (Sanger, next generation sequencing), protein expression (IHC) and gene amplification (CISH or FISH). RESULTS TP53 was the most commonly mutated gene in both UPSC and EOC-S (76% vs. 69%, P = 0.03). UPSC were more likely to have mutation in PIK3CA (29% vs. 2%, P < 0.001), FBXW7 (12% vs. 1%, P < 0.001), KRAS (9% vs. 5%, P < 0.001) PTEN (7% vs. 1%, P < 0.001), and CTNNB1 (2% vs. 0%, P < 0.001) compared to EOC-S. On the other hand, EOC-S were more likely to harbor mutation in BRCA1 (20% vs. 9% P = 0.17) and BRCA2 (18% vs. 6% P = 0.09). HER2 gene amplification (17% vs. 4%, P < 0.001) and Her2/neu expression (10% vs. 2%, P < 0.001) were more frequent in UPSC than EOC-S, respectively. CONCLUSION UPSC have a distinct mutation profile indicating higher activity of PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and MAPK pathways and Her2 expression/amplification but a trend toward lower frequency of alteration in homologous recombination pathway compared to EOC-S. Targeted PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors should be evaluated in UPSC.

Abstract
5102 Background: Ablative radiation dose delivered by a robotic SBRT platform has shown progression-free survival benefit in two limited case series among patients with recurrent gynecological malignancies. The therapeutic impact of SBRT on disease progression (PD) was evaluated in the recurrent setting in this phase II trial. Methods: Fifty patients with recurrent and measurable gynecologic malignancy were treated with SBRT. The cohort included patients with recurrent ovarian (n =25), endometrial (n =14), cervical (n =9), or vulvar (n =2) cancer, 1 prior chemotherapy or radiation regimen, and GOG performance status 0, 1, 2. Patients underwent image-guided SBRT in 3 daily doses of 800 cGy = 2400 cGy. SBRT planning target volumes were determined by both the radiation and gynecologic oncologist using non-contrasted CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT overlays. The primary endpoints were 6-month clinical benefit rate (# complete response + # partial response + # stable disease without PD [by RECIST v1.0] / 50), and less than 30-day posttherapy toxicity. Results: Between July 2009 and September 2011, 50 patients were enrolled and have a median posttherapy follow-up of 9 months. At 3 months, 50% (n=25) had complete response, 46% (n=23) had partial response, and 4% (n=2) had stable disease in SBRT-targeted lesions. Twenty-six patients (52%) have had non-SBRT target PD and 18 (36%) have died of PD. Of the 50 patients, 33 had a PD-free interval of at least 6 months, for an overall clinical benefit rate of 66%. Less than 30-day posttherapy SBRT-related toxicities were grade 2 fatigue (n =9 [18%]), grade 2 nausea (n =3[6%], grade 3 nephropathy (n =2[4%]), and grade 4 hyperbilirubinemia (n =1[2%]). Conclusions: This is the first phase II clinical trial of SBRT showing a clinically relevant benefit of ablative radiation in the setting of recurrent gynecological disease. Despite excellent control of targeted lesions with minimal toxicity, non-SBRT target PD rates are high, spurring interest for future SBRT-chemotherapy clinical trials.

Abstract
Clinical management of pelvic relapses from gynecologic malignancies remains challenging. Bulky pelvic relapses often lead to symptomatic cancer-related complications and poor clinical outcomes. Options may be limited by prior surgical, chemotherapeutic, and radiation treatment. Stereotactic body radiosurgery is a novel treatment modality which allows high radiation dose delivery in a non-coplanar fashion with sub-millimeter precision utilizing a linear accelerator mounted on a robotic arm. This study details our clinical experience with stereotactic body radiosurgery for treatment of patients with pelvic relapses of gynecologic malignancies after prior pelvic radiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of patient weight on the frequency of surgical staging lymphadenectomy and pelvic radiation. Adverse effects, disease relapse, and survival outcomes were investigated. STUDY DESIGN Records of 766 women who underwent surgery for presumed corpus-confined endometrial cancer were reviewed. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated to categorize women as obese (BMI, > or = 30 kg/m2) or nonobese (BMI, < 30 kg/m2). Radiation-related toxicity was scored retrospectively. Median duration of follow-up period was 38 months. Chi2, logistic regression, correlation, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox multivariate proportional hazards were used for analysis. RESULTS Lymphadenectomy was completed as often in nonobese as obese women (P = .24). Adjuvant pelvic radiation treatment was administered more often in nonobese women (P = .01). Among 681 women with endometrioid histopathologic findings, 4-year cancer-related survival in obese women was 10% higher than all cause deaths, compared with 6% in nonobese women. CONCLUSION Obesity was not a barrier to lymphadenectomy, but did influence adjuvant pelvic radiation use.

Human blood was fractionated by differential centrifugation on a Hypaque-Ficoll layer, followed by chromatography on a glass-bead column. Analysis of subfractions of leukocytes thus obtained indicated that essentially all histamine in human leukocytes was associated with basophil granulocytes. Histamine release experiments from the subfractions by anti-IgE and by allergen showed that histamine release was induced by IgE-anti-IgE or allergen-IgE antibody reaction on basophil granulocytes. None of the neutrophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes is involved in the mechanisms of histamine release. It was confirmed that anti-IgG-released histamine from leukocytes of some atopic patients. In spite of the presence of IgG on neutrophils, none of the neutrophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes is essential for anti-IgG-induced histamine release. A minute amount of IgG was demonstrated on basophil granulocytes from both atopic and normal individuals by autoradiography, and evidence was obtained that the reaction of the basophil-bound IgG with anti-IgG is accompanied by histamine release from the cells.

Abstract
Abstract
The catecholamine isoproterenol, which inhibits the in vitro allergic response, does so early in the reaction in the first or activation stage of IgE-mediated histamine release and then at concentrations 104 lower than in the whole reaction. This inhibition is markedly decreased by the beta blocker propranalol but not by the alpha blocker phentolamine. Prostaglandin E1, which like the catecholamines stimulates leukocytic adenylcyclase, similarly inhibits in the first stage. Theophylline and dibutyryl cyclic AMP also inhibit primarily in the first stage but have a small but significant inhibitory effect later in the reaction, in the second stage. The metabolic inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose, on the other hand, inhibits only in the second or histamine release stage. Diethylcarbamazine inhibits both stages equally but a concentration of 10-2 M is required for a maximal effect. The action of the cyclic AMP-active drugs early in the reaction sequence strengthens the hypothesis that this system operates as a “second messenger” in the allergic release of histamine.
