Abstract
BACKGROUND Omentectomy is an important procedure in surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer, but the scope of omentectomy is not recommended in the guidelines. This study was performed to evaluate the benefits and risks of infragastric omentectomy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS This trial is a single center prospective study. Primary epithelial ovarian cancer patients with normal-appearing omentum were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group and underwent infracolic or infragastric omentectomy, respectively. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. This trial is registered on Chinese clinical trial registry site (ChiCTR1800018771). RESULTS A total of 106 patients meeting the inclusion criteria for ovarian cancer were included during the study period. Of these, 53 patients underwent infracolic omentectomy, whereas 53 patients received infragastric omentectomy. Multivariate analysis revealed that infragastric omentectomy could improve the detection rate of omental metastases (OR: 6.519, P = 0.005). Infragastric omentectomy improved progression-free survival significantly for those cases with higher than stage IIB disease (HR: 0.456, P = 0.041). Based on the short-term results, infragastric omentectomy did not cause more perioperative complications. CONCLUSIONS Compared with infracolic omentectomy, infragrastric omentectomy may be a more appropriate surgical procedure for stage IIB-IIIC epithelial ovarian cancer patients with normal-appearing omentum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The modeled CA-125 elimination constant K (KELIM) is a pragmatic early marker of tumor chemosensitivity in ovarian cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before interval surgery. The primary objective of this study was to assess the prognostic value of KELIM regarding the feasibility of complete surgery, and secondary objectives were to assess the prognostic value of KELIM for the risk of a platinum resistant relapse, progression free survival, and overall survival. METHODS The study was based on a retrospective cohort of 284 patients treated for an advanced serous high grade ovarian cancer, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages III-IV, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by interval surgery, in a comprehensive cancer center. CA-125 concentrations at baseline and during neoadjuvant chemotherapy were collected. The KELIM predictive value regarding the tumor radiological response rate, likelihood of complete surgery, risk of subsequent platinum resistant relapse, progression free survival, and overall survival were assessed with univariate and multivariate tests. RESULTS In 232 patients, KELIM was an independent and major predictor of the probability of complete surgery and survival. The final logistic regression model, including KELIM (odds ratio (OR) 0.36, 95% confidence interval (CI)0.16 to 0.73, p=0.006) and complete surgery (no vs yes, OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.53, p<0.001), highlighted the complementary impact of chemosensitivity and surgical outcome relative to the complete surgery. In the multivariate analysis, KELIM and complete surgery were significantly associated with a lower risk of early relapse. In the case of an unfavorable KELIM, when surgical efforts allowed complete cytoreduction, median overall survival was similar to that reported in the case of a favorable KELIM (46.3 months (range 34.6-60.3) vs 46.5 months (range 40.6-68.7), respectively). CONCLUSION Primary tumor chemosensitivity, assessed by the modeled CA-125 KELIM, calculated during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, is a major parameter to consider for decision making regarding interval surgery. Complementary to the RECIST score and laparoscopy, this non-invasive tool, available online, helps tailor the interval surgery strategy according to patient tumor chemosensitivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is one kind of treatment for advanced stage ovarian cancer patients. However, due to the nature of tumor heterogeneity, the clinical outcomes to NACT vary significantly among different subgroups. Partial responses to NACT may lead to suboptimal debulking surgery, which will result in adverse prognosis. To address this clinical challenge, the purpose of this study is to develop a novel image marker to achieve high accuracy prognosis prediction of NACT at an early stage. METHODS For this purpose, we first computed a total of 1373 radiomics features to quantify the tumor characteristics, which can be grouped into three categories: geometric, intensity, and texture features. Second, all these features were optimized by principal component analysis algorithm to generate a compact and informative feature cluster. This cluster was used as input for developing and optimizing support vector machine (SVM) based classifiers, which indicated the likelihood of receiving suboptimal cytoreduction after the NACT treatment. Two different kernels for SVM algorithm were explored and compared. A total of 42 ovarian cancer cases were retrospectively collected to validate the scheme. A nested leave-one-out cross-validation framework was adopted for model performance assessment. RESULTS The results demonstrated that the model with a Gaussian radial basis function kernel SVM yielded an AUC (area under the ROC [receiver characteristic operation] curve) of 0.806 ± 0.078. Meanwhile, this model achieved overall accuracy (ACC) of 83.3%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 81.8%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 83.9%. CONCLUSION This study provides meaningful information for the development of radiomics based image markers in NACT treatment outcome prediction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of a computer synoptic operative report in enhancing the quality and completeness of surgical reporting for advanced ovarian cancer surgeries. METHODS The study was conducted at a tertiary cancer center between January 2016 and September 2021, and the computer synoptic operative report was implemented in May 2019. The study compared two cohorts: the first consisted of the 'before computer synoptic operative report (P1)' period, during which the operative reports were dictated freely by the surgeons, and the second consisted of the 'after computer synoptic operative report (P2)' period, during which all surgeons used the computer synoptic operative report. RESULTS The study analyzed 227 operative reports, with 104 during period 1 (P1) and 123 during period 2 (P2). In the P1 group, more than half of the patients (54 out of 104, 52%) underwent interval surgery after completing six cycles of chemotherapy; In contrast, in the P2 group, all interval debulking surgeries were performed after fewer than six chemotherapy cycles (p<0.001). Although interval debulking surgery after fewer than six chemotherapy cycles was more frequent in P2, the rate of primary debulking surgery was similar between the groups. The median intra-operative peritoneal carcinomatosis index was higher in P2 (2 in P1 vs 4 in P2, p<0.001), and mean blood loss was higher in P1 (308 mL vs 151 mL, p<0.001). The rate of complete cytoreduction was similar between P1 and P2 (97% vs 87%, respectively, p=0.6). The median length of hospital stay was 12 days in the P1 group and 16 days in the P2 group (p=0.5). Compliance with all eight significant items was higher in the P2 group, with all items present in 66% of the operative reports in the P2 group compared with none of the reports in the P1 group. Compliance for the following items was: International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology stage (24% vs 100%), histology (76% vs 97%), CA125 (63% vs 89%), type of surgery (38% vs 100%), peritoneal carcinomatosis index (21% vs 100%), complete cytoreduction score 36% vs 99%), Aletti score (0% vs 89%), and blood loss (32% vs 98%) for P1 and P2; respectively. CONCLUSION The use of the computer synoptic operative report improved the completeness and quality of the surgical information documented in advanced ovarian cancer surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) is an alternative choice of young patients who have not completed their family planning and still have fertility needs. The aims of this study were to compare the outcomes of early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients undergoing FSS and radical comprehensive staging surgery (RCS), and the suitability of FSS. METHODS A total of 1297 patients aged between 20 and 44 years with newly diagnosed early-stage EOC were recruited from the Taiwan Cancer Registry database between 2009 and 2017. Site-specific surgery codes were used to distinguish patients in FSS group or RCS group. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test and Cox regression model. RESULTS There were 401 and 896 patients in FSS and RCS group. Patients in FSS group were with younger age and mostly had Stage I disease. In contrast, patients in RCS group were older. There were more Stage II, high-grade (Grade 3) disease, and adjuvant chemotherapy in RCS group. Stage and tumor grade were two independent factors correlating with CSS and the type of surgery showed no effect on CSS (HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 0.66-1.77, p = 0.73) in multivariable analysis. In multivariable analysis, the clear cell carcinoma group who underwent FSS demonstrated better CSS compared to those in the RCS group (HR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.06-0.82, p = 0.04). A total of 17 women who underwent FSS developed second malignancies of the uterine corpus or contralateral ovary. CONCLUSION FSS can be a safe alternative procedure in selected young patients of Stage I EOC who have fertility desire. Endometrial biopsy before or during FSS and regular surveillance to detect recurrence are mandatory for ovarian cancer patients undergoing FSS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evidence on the role of retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy is limited to less common histology subtypes of epithelial advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019. Patients with stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer were included and divided into two groups based on whether they received retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. The primary outcomes are overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS Among the 10 184 included patients, 5472 patients underwent debulking surgery with retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, while 4712 patients only underwent debulking surgery. No differences were found in the baseline information between the two groups after propensity score matching. Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy during debulking surgery was associated with improved 5-year OS (43.41% vs. 37.49%, p < 0.001) and 5-year CSS (46.43% vs. 41.79%, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis further validate the retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy increased the 5-year OS and CSS in patients with high-grade serous cancer. Although the results were not validated in the less common ovarian cancer (including endometrial cancer, mucinous cancer, low-grade serous cancer, and clear cell cancer), the tendency showed patients with the above four subtypes may benefit from the lymphadenectomy which is restricted for small sample size after propensity score matching. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy could further improve the survival outcome during debulking surgery in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. The conclusion was affected by the histology subtypes of ovarian cancer and further studies are needed to validate the conclusion in less common ovarian cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the ability of Adult Comorbidity Evaluation 27 (ACE-27) to predict perioperative outcomes and survival in elderly women with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC) undergoing cytoreductive surgery. METHODS We collected patients with AEOC in our hospital between January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2021. Patients younger than 65 years old or those with non-epithelial ovarian cancer were excluded. ACE-27 was applied retrospectively to assess comorbidities in the selected patients, who were then classified into two groups based on their ACE-27 scores: low ACE-27 score group (none to mild) and high ACE-27 score group (moderate to severe). RESULTS A total of 222 elderly women with AEOC were included, of whom 164 patients accepted debulking surgery. Among those who have undergone surgery, Clavien-Dindo grade III + perioperative complications or unintended intensive care unit (ICU) admission occurred more often in patients of high ACE-27 score group, with statistically significant difference (odds ratio [OR]: 4.21, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28-14.35, p = 0.018). Further stratified analyses by age, BMI, FIGO stage and pathology also prove that OS of patients graded severe was shorter than patients graded none to moderate in cohort of age < 70, BMI < 25 kg/m2, FIGO III stage and pathology of serous, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curves analyzed by log-rank test showed that the overall survival (OS) of patients with severe comorbidities were shorter than with none to moderate (HR 3.25, 95%CI 1.55-6.79, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate the ability of ACE-27 to predict grade III + perioperative complications or unintended ICU admission and survival in elderly patients with AEOC. This highlights the possibility for ACE-27 to play an instrumental role in identifying AEOC patients who are more susceptible to adverse surgical outcomes and have a poor survival rate and assisting in decisions regarding treatment.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the association between the quantitative characteristics of dual-energy spectral CT and cytoreduction surgery outcome in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). In this prospective observational study, patients with advanced EOC (federation of gynecology and obstetrics stage III-IV) treated in the Department of Gynecological Oncology at our Hospital between June 2021 and March 2022 were enrolled. All participants underwent dual-energy spectral computed tomography (DECT) scanning 2 weeks before cytoreductive surgery. The quantitative data included peritoneal cancer index (PCI) determined by DECT, CT value at 70 keV, normalized iodine concentration, normalized water concentration, effective atomic number (effective-Z), and slopes of the spectral attenuation curves (slope λ Hounsfield unit). Fifty-five participants were included. The patients were 57.2 ± 9.8 years of age, and 72.7% were menopausal. The maximal diameter of tumors was 8.6 (range, 2.9-19.7) cm, and 76.4% were high-grade serous carcinomas. Optimal cytoreduction was achieved in 43 patients (78.2%). Compared with the optimal cytoreductive group, the suboptimal cytoreductive group showed a higher PCI (median, 21 vs 6, P < .001), higher 70 keV CT value (69.5 ± 16.6 vs 57.1 ± 13.0, P = .008), and higher slope λ Hounsfield unit (1.89 ± 0.66 vs 1.39 ± 0.60, P = .015). The multivariable analysis showed that the PCI (OR = 1.74, 95%CI: 1.24-2.44, P = .001) and 70 keV CT value (OR = 1.07, 95%CI: 1.01-1.13, P = .023) were independently associated with a suboptimal cytoreductive surgery. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of PCI and 70 keV CT value was 0.903 (95%CI: 0.805-1.000, P = .000) and 0.740 (95%CI: 0.581-0.899, P = .012), respectively. High PCI and 70 keV CT value are independently associated with suboptimal cytoreductive surgery in patients with advanced EOC. The PCI determined by DECT might be a better predictor for suboptimal cytoreduction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A non-randomized prospective clinical trial (ULTRA-LAP) was registered to test safety, side effects and efficacy of laparoscopic Visceral-Peritoneal Debulking (L-VPD) in patients with stage III-IV ovarian cancer (OC). A pilot study was designed to identify which OC patients are suitable to undergo L-VPD. METHODS Between March 2016 and October 2021, all consecutive patients with OC underwent exploratory laparoscopy (EXL). All patients whose disease was deemed amenable for a complete resection (CR) at imaging review and EXL, underwent VPD. In all patients a consistent attempt was made at completing L-VPD. RESULTS Two hundred and eight OC had EXL in the study period: 121 underwent interval VPD and 87 up-front VPD. Overall, 158 patients had VPD by laparotomy (75.9%) and 50 (24.1%) had L-VPD, of which 34 patients as interval (iL-VPD) and 16 as up-front (uL-VPD). Intra- and post-operative morbidity was very low in the L-VPD group. CR rate was 98% in L-VPD group and 94% in VPD. Most common reason for conversion was diaphragmatic disease extending dorsally. CONCLUSION In the pilot study of ULTRA-LAP, L-VPD was completed in 24,1% of OC. Initial analysis supports the feasibility of L-VPD in 2 groups of OC: those with no gross disease at interval surgery and those with gross visible disease at upfront or interval surgery, but limited to: pelvis (including recto-sigmoid), gastro colic omentum, peritoneum and diaphragm, the latter not requiring dorsal liver mobilization. Both groups had 100% feasibility and have been thus forth recruited to ULTRA-LAP. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05862740.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To perform surgical staging of early stage ovarian cancer (EOC), conventional laparoscopy (LS) and robot-assisted laparoscopy (RLS) appear to be reliable procedures compared to open surgery. But oncologicals results with long-term follow up are limited in the literature. The objective of this study is to evaluate the surgical and long-term survival for patients managed by minimally invasive surgery (MIS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a multicentric retrospective study in 6 institutions. All patients referred for epithelial EOC (apparent stage I-IIa) managed with LS and RLS were involved. RESULTS From December 2008 to December 2017, 140 patients were included (109 in LS group and 31 in RLS group). A total of 27 (19.2 %) patients were upstaged to an advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage > IIA), and 73 % of patients received chemotherapy. Mean operative time was 265,8 ± 88,4 min and significantly longer in RLS group (LS = 254,5 ± 86,8; RLS = 305,6 ± 85,5; p = 0,008). Rate of severe post-operative complications (grade 3) was 5,7 %. Thirteen conversion to laparotomy occurred, including one per-operative hemorrhaege. After a mean follow-up of 60,7 months, 29 (20.7 %) patients recurred, with a time to recurrence was >24 months in 51,7 % of cases. Overall survival (OS) was 88.6 % and disease-free survival (DFS) was 79.3 %. Oncologic outcomes were similar between LS and RLS group (OS: p = 0,504 and DFS: p = 0,213). CONCLUSION Surgical staging of EOC by LS or RLS approach has long-term equivalent surgical and oncological approach. These results seem to be equivalent to open surgery according to literature review.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the current state for ovarian cancer surgery in France from 2009 to 2016 and to examine the impact of the volume of activity on morbidity and mortality by institution. MATERIAL AND METHOD National retrospective study analyzing surgical sessions for ovarian cancer from the program of medicalization of information systems (PMSI), from January 2009 to December 2016. Institutions were divided according to the number of annual curative procedures into 3 groups: A<10; B: 10-19; C≥20. A propensity score (PS) and the Kaplan-Meier method were employed for statistical analyses. RESULTS In total, 27,105 patients were included. The 1-month mortality rate in group A, B and C was 1.6; 1 and 0.7 %, respectively (P<0.001). Compared to group C, the Relative Risk (RR) of death within the first month was 2.22 for group A and 1.32 for group B (P<0.01). After MS, the 3- and 5-year survival in group A+B and group C were 71.4 and 60.3% (P<0.05) and 56.6, and 60.3% (P<0.05), respectively. The 1-year recurrence rate was significantly lower in group C (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION An annual volume of activity>20 advanced stage ovarian cancers is associated with a decrease in morbidity, mortality, recurrence rate and improved survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish a preoperative model to predict the outcome of primary debulking surgery (PDS) for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) patients by combing Suidan predictive model with HE4, CA125, CA153 and ROMA index. METHODS 76 AOC Patients in revised 2014 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III-IV who underwent PDS between 2017 and 2019 from Yunnan Cancer Hospital were included. Clinical data including the levels of preoperative serum HE4, CA125, CA153 and mid-lower abdominal CT-enhanced scan results were collected. The logistics regression analysis was performed to find factors associated with sub-optimal debulking surgery (SDS). The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive performances of selected variables in the outcome of primary debulking surgery. The predictive index value (PIV) model was constructed to predict the outcome of SDS. RESULTS Optimal surgical cytoreduction was achieved in 61.84% (47/76) patients. The value for CA125, HE4, CA153, ROMA index and Suidan score was lower in optimal debulking surgery (ODS) group than SDS group. Based on the Youden index, which is widely used for evaluating the performance of predictive models, the best cutoff point for the preoperative serum HE4, CA125, CA153, ROMA index and Suidan score to distinguish SDS were 431.55 pmol/l, 2277 KU/L, 57.19 KU/L, 97.525% and 2.5, respectively. Patients with PIV≥5 may not be able to achieve optimal surgical cytoreduction. The diagnostic accuracy, NPV, PPV and specificity for diagnosing SDS were 73.7%, 82.9%, 62.9% and 72.3%, respectively. In the constructed model, the AUC of the SDS prediction was 0.770 (95% confidence interval: 0.654-0.887), P<0.001. CONCLUSION Preoperative serum CA153 level is an important non-invasive predictor of primary SDS in advanced AOC, which has not been reported before. The constructed PIV model based on Suidan's predictive model plus HE4, CA125, CA153 and ROMA index can noninvasively predict SDS in AOC patients, the accuracy of this prediction model still needs to be validated in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate the patterns, perioperative outcomes, and survival rates of patients subjected to hepatic resections for ovarian-derived liver metastasis as part of cytoreductive surgery with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Furthermore, we investigated two subgroups of tumor patterns: hematogenous liver metastasis and infiltrative liver metastatic spread. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted. Patients from a University Tertiary Hepatic and Peritoneal Surface Malignancy Center with primary or recurrent ovarian cancer, who underwent liver resection as part of cytoreductive surgery between January 1992 and December 2022, were included. RESULTS Data from 35 patients were analyzed. Both median overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were 24.97 months. In a multivariate setting, the combined effect of age, peritoneal carcinomatosis index, body mass index, hematogenous liver metastasis vs. infiltrative spread types, and HIPEC (HR=0.2372; 95%CI=0.0719-0.7823; p=0.0181) over OS was tested. Survival analysis revealed no differences between the two metastatic spread types (OS: p=0.9720; DSS: p=0.9610). Younger age (p=0.0301), splenectomy (p=0.0320), lesser omentectomy (p=0.0178), and right upper quadrant peritonectomy (p=0.0373) were more characteristic for those patients with infiltrative liver metastatic spread. CONCLUSION Complete cytoreductive surgery, including hepatic resection is a feasible approach with or without additional HIPEC, which may provide survival benefit for patients with advanced and/or recurrent ovarian cancer. If metastatic and infiltrative liver involvement is suspected, liver-specific imaging is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the prognostic value of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) kinetics during and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) cycles compared with cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), in predicting the surgical outcomes of interval debulking surgery (IDS) in patients with advanced-stage, high-grade serous ovarian cancer. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Severance Hospital in Seoul, South Korea and involved 123 women with high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who were diagnosed between April 2015 and July 2020. Three outcomes were considered: the chemotherapy response score (CRS) by omentum, residual disease after IDS, and recurrence. Other clinical, imaging, and biological parameters at baseline, during NACT cycles, and pre- and postoperative time were collected and analyzed. RESULTS We observed a substantial and gradual decrease in both CA-125 level (median from 1612 to 85.55 U/mL; p < 0.001) and HE4 level (514.7 to 87.7 pmol/L; p < 0.001) during NACT cycles, while pre-to-postoperative reduction was only significant for HE4 (median from 77.3 to 62.0 pmol/L (p < 0.001)). Of the total patients, 4.1% showed no response to NACT (chemoresistance) and 65.9% had a partial response. Residual disease was observed in 55 (44.7%) patients. Recurrence occurred in 90 patients (73.2%), with a median progression-free survival of 15.28 months. The percent reduction in CA-125 level- but not HE4 - during NACT was significantly associated with CRS (by omentum); the reduction in CA-125 during NACT cycles was higher when the CRS was found to be 3 and 2 (median = 96.4 [IQR = 8.3] and 93.7 [12.2] respectively) compared to score 1 (68.3 [34.1]), and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.004). However, no significant association was observed between the percent reduction in CA-125 or HE4 levels during NACT and residual disease or recurrence. The normalization of HE4 - but not CA-125 - before surgery was predictive for surgery outcome; that is, an abnormal preop HE4 level was associated with a residual disease risk ratio of 2.72 (95% CI = 1.27-5.79). CONCLUSION Monitoring HE4 or CA-125 levels has low prognostic value in patients with advanced-stage, high-grade serous ovarian cancer who are treated with NACT followed by IDS. However, the preoperative level of the HE4 biomarker may be useful in identifying patients at higher risk for suboptimal cytoreductive surgery or who may require more extensive surgery. Further prospective studies are warranted to explore the prognostic utility of eventual combinations of clinical, radiological, and biological parameters, notably by using artificial intelligence-based models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the surgical technique, assess feasibility, efficacy, and safety of peritonectomy and/or resection of mesentery (P-Rme) during Visceral-Peritoneal Debulking (VPD) in patients with stage IIIC-IV ovarian cancer (OC). METHODS In April 2009 we registered a protocol study on the safety and feasibility of P-Rme. In the period April 2009-December 2022, 687 patients with FIGO stage IIIC-IV ovarian cancer underwent VPD. One hundred and twenty-nine patients (18.7%) had extensive disease on the mesentery and underwent P-Rme. Feasibility was assessed as the number of procedures completed. Efficacy was measured as the rate of Complete Resection (CR). Safety was defined by the intra- and post-operative morbidity rate specifically associated with these procedures. RESULTS In all patients P-Rme was successfully completed. P-me was performed in 82 patients and R-me in 47, both procedures in 23 patients. CR was achieved in all 129 patients with an efficacy of 100%. Intra-operatively 5 patients out of 129 experienced small bowel loop surgical devascularization. They required small bowel resection and anastomosis. The procedure specific morbidity was 3.8%. No post-operative complication was related to P-Rme. At 64 months median follow-up, survival outcomes in the study group were similar to patients in the control group. CONCLUSION Overall, almost 20% of the VPD patients needed P-Rme to obtain a CR. P-Rme was a safe and effective step during VPD. The rate of CR in the study group was 100% achieved thanks to the addition of the P-Rme. No procedure specific post-operative complications occurred but 3.8% of the patients had unplanned additional surgery related to these procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) present with significant peritoneal spread. We assessed collaborative efforts of surgical and gynecological oncologists with expertise in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in the management of advanced EOC. METHODS Using a prospective single-center database (2014-2022), we described the operative and oncologic outcomes of stage IIIC-IVA primary and recurrent EOC perioperatively managed jointly by gynecological and surgical oncologists both specializing in CRS and presented components of this collaboration. RESULTS Of 199 identified patients, 132 (66 %) had primary and 53 (27 %) had recurrent EOC. Due to inoperable disease, 14 (7 %) cases were aborted and excluded from analysis. Median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) in primary and recurrent patients was 21 (IQR: 11-28) and 21 (IQR: 6-31). Upper abdominal surgery was required in 95 % (n = 125) of primary and 89 % (n = 47) of recurrent patients. Bowel resections were performed in 83 % (n = 110) and 72 % (n = 38), respectively. Complete cytoreduction (CC-0/1) with no disease or residual lesions <2.5 mm was achieved in 95 % (n = 125) of primary and 91 % (n = 48) of recurrent patients. Ninety-day Clavien-Dindo grade III-IV morbidity was 12 % (n = 16) and 21 % (n = 11), respectively. Median follow-up was 44 (95%CI: 33-55) months. Median overall survival in primary and recurrent EOC was 68 (95%CI: 45-91) and 50 (95%CI: 16-84) months. Median progression-free survival was 26 (95%CI: 22-30) and 14 (95%CI: 7-21) months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative collaboration between surgical and gynecological oncologists specializing in CRS allows safe performance of complete cytoreduction in the majority of patients with primary and recurrent EOC, despite high tumor burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) shares treatment strategies with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Due to OCCC's rarity, there's a lack of prospective studies on its surgery, resulting in heterogeneous and limited existing data. This study aims to clarify the prognostic significance of lymphadenectomy in OCCC patients. METHODS We systematically searched Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar until July 2023 for studies investigating lymphadenectomy's effects on OCCC patients. We calculated pooled hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). This study is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021270460). RESULTS Among 444 screened articles, seven studies (2883 women) met inclusion criteria. Our analysis revealed that lymphadenectomy significantly improved disease-specific survival (DSS) (HR = 0.76, 95%CI = 0.60-0.95, P = 0.02) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 0.58, 95%CI = 0.34-0.99, P = 0.05). However, it did not significantly affect overall survival (OS) (HR = 0.80, 95%CI = 0.60-1.06, P = 0.12) or progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 0.95, 95%CI = 0.64-1.42, P = 0.79). Notably, some earlier studies reported no survival benefit, warranting cautious interpretation. CONCLUSION Lymphadenectomy does not significantly enhance OS and PFS for OCCC but does improve DFS and DSS. Tailoring treatment to individual patient profiles is imperative for optimal outcomes. Precise preoperative or intraoperative lymph node metastasis detection is essential for identifying candidates benefiting from lymphadenectomy. Collaborative international efforts and an OCCC database are pivotal for refining future treatment strategies.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of sentinel-lymph-node mapping compared with the gold standard of systematic lymphadenectomy in detecting lymph node metastasis in apparent early stage ovarian cancer. METHODS Multicenter, prospective, phase II trial, conducted in seven centers from March 2018 to July 2022. Patients with presumed stage I-II epithelial ovarian cancer planned for surgical staging were eligible. Patients received injection of indocyanine green in the infundibulo-pelvic and, when feasible, utero-ovarian ligaments and sentinel lymph node biopsy followed by pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy was performed. Histopathological examination of all nodes was performed including ultra-staging protocol for the sentinel lymph node. RESULTS 174 patients were enrolled and 169 (97.1 %) received study interventions. 99 (58.6 %) patients had successful mapping of at least one sentinel lymph node and 15 (15.1 %) of them had positive nodes. Of these, 11 of 15 (73.3 %) had a correct identification of the disease in the sentinel lymph node; 7 of 11 (63.6 %) required ultra-staging protocol to detect nodal metastasis. Four (26.7 %) patients with node-positive disease had a negative sentinel-lymph-node (sensitivity 73.3 % and specificity 100.0 %). CONCLUSIONS In a multicenter setting, identifying sentinel-lymph nodes in apparent early stage epithelial ovarian cancer did not reach the expected sensitivity: 1 of 4 patients might have metastatic lymphatic disease unrecognized by sentinel-lymph-node biopsy. Nevertheless, 35.0 % of node positive patients was identified only thanks to ultra-staging protocol on sentinel-lymph-nodes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among gynecological malignancies. Platinum resistance remains a dilemma and bottleneck in treatment, and salvage chemotherapy has limited effectiveness. Recently, the role of secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) has caused attention especially in patients with oligometastases. However, there is neither high-quality evidence-based evidence nor standardized criteria for selecting SCS for patients with platinum-resistant ROC until now. METHODS This multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the value of SCS and to clarify reliable criteria of utilizing SCS in women with ROC, which is led by Gynecologic Oncology Group, Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Recruitment has started on January 1st, 2023, and is scheduled to end in December 2026. One hundred and forty participants with platinum-resistant ROC who meet the "RSCS criteria" will be randomized assigned at a ratio of 1:1 to either the experimental arm or the standard arm. Patients in the experimental arm will receive SCS followed by non-platinum single agent chemotherapy (paclitaxel, gemcitabine or liposomal adriamycin) for at least 4 cycles while patients in the standard arm will be provided with only non-platinum single agent chemotherapy. The primary outcome is progression-free survival. The secondary outcomes are overall survival, adverse events and health-related cancer-specific quality of life.

Abstract
AIM To identify the clinical and pathological factors associated with relapse in women who had undergone secondary cytoreductive surgery due to locally advanced recurrent ovarian cancer. METHODS Women with locally advanced recurrent ovarian cancer who had undergone cytoreduction between 2000 and 2018 were included in this study. Demographic, clinical and biochemical intraoperative findings were recorded for each woman. All factors were assessed in order to identify which correlated with the outcomes of interest (i.e. disease relapse, mortality and morbidity). RESULTS In total, 181 women who had undergone secondary cytoreduction were analysed. The hospital mortality rate was 1.7 % (n = 3) and the morbidity rate was 32.1 % (n = 58). Recurrence was recorded in 101 (55.8 %) women. Infiltration of large bowel lymph nodes was a negative prognostic indicator of morbidity (p = 0.029). A prior surgical score of 1 (PSS-1) [odds ratio (OR) 0.465] and complete cytoreduction (OR 0.518) were found to be significant independent predictors for disease relapse. Median overall survival was greater for patients with PSS-1 (151.3 vs 59.4 vs 44.1 months; p = 0.049) and patients with complete cytoreduction (137.6 vs 36.2 vs 10.0 vs 27.4 months; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Complete cytoreduction and PSS-1 are associated with reduced disease relapse and increased overall survival. Infiltration of large bowel lymph nodes is associated with increased morbidity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review evidence around the value and challenges of surgery for recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (ROC). Both cytoreductive and palliative aspects will be addressed RECENT FINDINGS: Prospective and retrospective evidence demonstrates a significantly longer remission derived from the combination of surgical and systemic modalities as opposed to systemic treatment alone in carefully selected ROC-patients who have relapsed more than 6 months from the end of their 1st line platinum-based chemotherapy. Nevertheless, this benefit appears to be limited when total macroscopic tumor clearance is not achieved. Selection algorithms to identify optimal surgical candidates are of paramount importance to prevent surgical morbidity without the equivalent oncological benefit. In the palliative setting, the risks and benefits of salvage surgery need to be counterbalanced with the advances of conservative techniques for optimal care. Well-defined selection algorithms to identify those who will benefit from surgery in the relapsed setting appear to be the key to oncologic and surgical success.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between pre-operative HE4 and CA125 levels in non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer cases (EOC) and outcomes of primary surgery for prediction of optimal surgery. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on non-mucinous EOC who underwent primary surgery at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital from 2016 to 2020. Demographic and clinical characters were collected. Histopathology and pre-operative tumor markers namely HE4 and CA125 were also recruited. Primary surgical outcomes were classified as optimal (OS) and suboptimal surgery (SS). RESULTS One hundred and seventy patients were enrolled in the study. There were 130 and 40 cases in OS and SS, respectively. Average age and body mass index (BMI) of EOC were 54.2 years old and 23.1 Kg/m2, respectively. Both groups had comparable demographic characteristics. Two-thirds (103/170) and one-third (63/170) had early stage and clear cell histopathology, respectively. The median level of HE4 were 118.60 and 603.45 pmol/L in OS and SS, respectively. OS and SS had average CA125 at 146.95 and 814.70 U/L, respectively. The best cut-off point of HE4 and CA125 less than 170.95 pmol/L and 316.4 U/mL gave predicting OS with area under curve (AUC) at 0.78 and 0.75, respectively. HE4 and CA125 cut-off point had sensitivity, specificity, positive predict value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) at percentage of 60.8/60.8, 87.5/82.5, 94.1/91.9 and 40.7/39.3, respectively. CONCLUSION HE4 and CA125 of non-mucinous EOC among OS had significantly less than SS and could be the predicting of optimal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of the laparoscopic approach for the treatment of carcinomatosis from epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of both laparoscopic and open approach for interval CRS+HIPEC in a matched cohort of patients with advanced EOC. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database including 254 patients treated with interval CRS-HIPEC between January 2016 and December 2021 was performed. Patients with primary disease and limited carcinomatosis (PCI ≤ 10) were selected. A comparative analysis of patients treated by either open (O-CRS-HIPEC) or the laparoscopic (L-CRS-HIPEC) approach was conducted. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and perioperative outcomes were analysed. RESULTS Fifty-three patients were finally selected and enrolled into two comparable groups in this study. Of these, 14 patients were treated by interval L-CRS-HIPEC and 39 by interval O-CRS-HIPEC. The L-CRS-HIPEC group had a shorter hospital stay (5.6 ± 1.9 vs. 9.7 ± 9.8 days; p < 0.001) and a shorter time to return to systemic chemotherapy (4.3 ± 1.9 vs. 10.3 ± 16.8 weeks; p = 0.003). There were no significant differences in postoperative complications between both groups. The 2-year OS and DFS was 100% and 62% in the L-CRS-HIPEC group versus 92% and 60% in the O-CRS-HIPEC group, respectively (p = 0.96; p = 0.786). CONCLUSION This study suggests that the use of interval L-CRS-HIPEC for primary advanced EOC is associated with shorter hospital stay and return to systemic treatment while obtaining similar oncological results compared to the open approach. Further prospective research is needed to recommend this new approach for these strictly selected patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the safety of fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) in stage I endometrioid epithelial cancer (EEOC) and mucinous ovarian cancer (MOC). METHODS A retrospective case‒controlled study was conducted using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, focusing on stage I EEOC and MOC between 2000 and 2016. The effects of FSS on overall survival (OS) were compared using log-rank tests. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were performed to control for confounders. RESULTS The study identified 970 patients with FIGO stage I EEOC and 810 with stage I MOC. Of these patients, 116 (12.0%) EEOC and 268 (33.1%) MOC patients underwent fertility-sparing surgery. The results showed that patients with G3 EEOC had a worse 5-year OS than patients with G1 EEOC (96.1% vs. 90.1%, p = 0.020). IC stage MOC patients had a worse prognosis than IA and IB stage patients (94.9% vs. 88.7%, p = 0.001). FSS did not significantly affect the 5-year OS of patients with EEOC (94.8% vs. 95.4%, p = 0.687) or MOC (95.9% vs. 92.3%, p = 0.071). Further subgroup analysis according to tumor stage and histological grade did not show a worse OS with FSS in stage I EEOC or MOC patients, even with high-risk types such as G3 histology and IC phase. In a multivariable analysis, the application of FSS was not associated with inferior OS in EEOC or MOC. CONCLUSIONS FSS for patients with stage I EEOC or MOC does not lead to worse outcomes than radical surgery, making it a viable option for young patients with early-stage disease wishing to preserve fertility.

Abstract
With the increasing use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, it has also become apparent that some patients will require a less extensive interval cytoreductive surgery which could be performed as a minimally invasive procedure. This observation, and expertise with minimally invasive surgery for other indications in gynecologic oncology, has driven surgeons in the United States and other countries to perform an increasing portion of interval cytoreductive surgery using minimally invasive techniques. Further observational and trial data will continue to inform which patients are best suited for this approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most common mode of ovarian cancer (OC) spread is intraperitoneal dissemination, with the peritoneum as the primary site of metastasis. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with chemotherapy is the primary treatment. When necessary, a digestive resection can be performed, but the role of mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) in advanced OC remains unclear, and its significance in treatment and follow-up evaluation remains to be determined. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MLN involvement in patients who underwent digestive resection for OC peritoneal metastases (PM) and to investigate its potential prognostic value. METHODS This retrospective, descriptive study included patients who underwent CRS with curative intent for OC with PM between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2020. The study assessed MLN status and other clinicopathologic features to determine their prognostic value in relation to overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS The study enrolled 159 women with advanced OC, 77 (48.4%) of whom had a digestive resection. For 61.1% of the patients who underwent digestive resection, MLNs were examined and found to be positive in 56.8%. No statistically significant associations were found between MLN status and OS (p = 0.497) or PFS ((p = 0.659). CONCLUSIONS In anatomopathologic studies, MLNs are not systematically investigated but are frequently involved. In the current study, no statistically significant associations were found between MLN status and OS or PFS. Further prospective studies with a systematic and standardized approach should be performed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to report on changes in overall survival, progression-free survival, and complete cytoreduction rates in the 5-year period after the implementation of a multidisciplinary surgical team (MDT). METHODS Two cohorts were used. Cohort A was a retrospectively collated cohort from 2006 to 2015. Cohort B was a prospectively collated cohort of patients from January 2017 to September 2021. RESULTS This study included 146 patients in cohort A (2006-2015) and 174 patients in cohort B (2017-2021) with FIGO stage III/IV ovarian cancer. Median follow-up in cohort A was 60 months and 48 months in cohort B. The rate of primary cytoreductive surgery increased from 38% (55/146) in cohort A to 46.5% (81/174) in cohort B. Complete macroscopic resection increased from 58.9% (86/146) in cohort A to 78.7% (137/174) in cohort B (p < 0.001). At 3 years, 75% (109/144) patients had disease progression in cohort A compared with 48.8% (85/174) in cohort B (log-rank, p < 0.001). Also at 3 years, 64.5% (93/144) of patients had died in cohort A compared with 24% (42/174) of cohort B (log-rank, p < 0.001). Cox multivariate analysis demonstrated that MDT input, residual disease, and age were independent predictors of overall (hazard ratio [HR] 0.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.203-0.437, p < 0.001) and progression-free survival (HR 0.31, 95% CI 0.21-0.43, p < 0.001). Major morbidity remained stable throughout both study periods (2006-2021). CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that the implementation of multidisciplinary-team, intraoperative approach allowed for a change in surgical philosophy and has resulted in a significant improvement in overall survival, progression-free survival, and complete resection rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Describing the constitution of the FRANCOGYN group (a national French research group in Oncological and Gynecological Surgery) and present its current and future development. METHODS Literature review using PUBMed database with the keyword "FRANCOGYN". OBJECTIVES Describing the constitution of the FRANCOGYN group (a national French research group in Oncological and Gynecological Surgery) and present its current and future development. RESULTS The FRANCOGYN group was formed in December 2015, bringing together over the years more than 17 gynecological and oncological surgical department in France. The group carries out clinical research on gynecological pelvic cancers by constituting retrospective cohorts. Its legitimacy allows it to lead or co-lead the drafting of recommendations for clinical practice in the field of gynecological cancers. It now offers prospective randomized research funded by national grants. CONCLUSION The FRANCOGYN network allows us to propose a national reflection on the surgical management of pelvic cancers in women, resulting in numerous international reference publications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic value of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DWI/MRI) to predict resectable disease at the time of secondary cytoreductive surgery for relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer with a platinum-free interval of at least 6 months. METHODS A retrospective cohort study between January 2012 and December 2021 in a tertiary referral hospital. Inclusion criteria were: (a) first recurrence of epithelial ovarian cancer; (b) platinum-free interval of ≥6 months; (c) intent to perform secondary cytoreductive surgery with complete macroscopic resection; and (d) WB-DWI/MRI was performed.Diagnostic tests of WB-DWI/MRI for predicting complete resection during secondary cytoreductive surgery are calculated as well as the progression-free and overall survival of the patients with a WB-DWI/MRI scan that showed resectable disease or not. RESULTS In total, 238 patients could be identified, of whom 123 (51.7%) underwent secondary cytoreductive surgery. WB-DWI/MRI predicted resectable disease with a sensitivity of 93.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 87.3% to 96.9%), specificity of 93.0% (95% CI 87.3% to 96.3%), and an accuracy of 93.3% (95% CI 89.3% to 96.1%). The positive predictive value was 91.9% (95% CI 85.3% to 95.7%).Prediction of resectable disease by WB-DWI/MRI correlated with improved progression-free survival (median 19 months vs 9 months; hazard ratio [HR] for progression 0.36; 95% CI 0.26 to 0.50) and overall survival (median 75 months vs 28 months; HR for death 0.33; 95% CI 0.23 to 0.47). CONCLUSION WB-DWI/MRI accurately predicts resectable disease in patients with a platinum-free interval of ≥6 months at the time of secondary cytoreductive surgery and could be of complementary value to the currently used models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sistematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy is part of the staging surgery for early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer, with no therapeutic value. The Mapping Sentinel Lymph Nodes In Early-Stage Ovarian Cancer (MELISA) trial prospectively assessed the SLN detection rate and the diagnostic accuracy of the SLN mapping technique in patients with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS This prospective, single-arm study included patients diagnosed with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (FIGO stages I and II), via either primary surgery or re-staging surgery. SLN mapping was performed by injecting 0.2 mL of 37-mBq 99mTc-nanocoloid albumin and 2 mL of 2.5 mg/mL indocyanine green into the infundibulopelvic and utero-ovarian ligaments. After removal of SLNs, a complete systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy was performed. SLN Ultrastaging analysis was applied. The primary outcome was the overall SLN detection rate, either with one or both tracers. Secondary outcomes were the diagnostic accuracy of detecting lymph node metastases and factors that may influence SLN detection. RESULTS Thirty patients were included. SLNs were identified in 27 patients (90%). Detection rates in primary and re-staging surgery were 89% and 92%, respectively. Para-aortic drainage was the predominant lymphatic spread, observed in 26 of 27 patients. Ultrastaging pathologic reports listed 1 SLN with macrometastasis, 1 with micrometastasis, and 5 with isolated tumor cells; the sensitivity of SLN mapping was 100%, with a false-negative rate of 0%. Univariate analysis showed a nonsignificant higher proportion of patients with uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and endometriosis (100%, 67%, 67%, respectively) in patients in whom SLNs were not detected. CONCLUSION SLN mapping has a high detection rate (90%) and is an accurate technique for detecting lymph node involvement in early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. SLN mapping is a potential alternative to systematic lymphadenectomy to reduce associated morbidity, but further research is needed to evaluate the impact of SLN mapping on oncologic outcomes and its cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with grade 1-2 endometrioid ovarian carcinoma apparently confined to the ovary, according to surgical staging. METHODS Multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study. Patients with endometrioid ovarian carcinoma, surgical procedure performed between May 1985 and December 2019, stage pT1 N0/N1/Nx, grade 1-2 were included. Patients were stratified according to lymphadenectomy (defined as removal of any lymph node versus no lymph node assessment), and subgroup analyses according to tumor grade were performed. Kaplan-Meier curves and cox regression analyses were used to perform survival analyses. RESULTS 298 patients were included. 199 (66.8 %) patients underwent lymph node assessment. Of these, 166 (83.4 %) had unilateral/bilateral pelvic and para-aortic/caval lymphadenectomy. Eleven (5.5 %) patients of those who underwent lymph node assessment showed pathologic metastatic lymph nodes (FIGO stage IIIA1). Twenty-seven patients (9.1 %) had synchronous endometrioid endometrial cancer. After a median follow up of 45 months (95 %CI:37.5-52.5), 5-year DFS and OS of the entire cohort were 89.8 % and 96.2 %, respectively. Age ≤ 51 years (HR=0.24, 95 %CI:0.06-0.91; p = 0.036) and performance of lymphadenectomy (HR=0.25, 95 %CI: 0.07-0.82; p = 0.022) represented independent protective factors toward risk of death. Patients undergoing lymphadenectomy had better 5-year DFS and OS compared to those not receiving lymphadenectomy, 92.0 % versus 85.6 % (p = 0.016) and 97.7 % versus 92.8 % (p = 0.013), respectively. This result was confirmed after exclusion of node-positive patients. When stratifying according to tumor grade (node-positive excluded), patients with grade 2 who underwent lymphadenectomy had better 5-year DFS and OS than those without lymphadenectomy (93.0 % versus 83.1 %, p = 0.040 % and 96.5 % versus 90.6 %, p = 0.037, respectively). CONCLUSION Staging lymphadenectomy in grade 2 endometrioid ovarian carcinoma patients was associated with improved DFS and OS. Grade 1 and grade 2 might be considered as two different entities, which could benefit from different approach in terms of surgical staging. Prospective studies, including molecular profiles are needed to confirm the survival drivers in this rare setting.

Abstract
Combining interval cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) improves survival in advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). Although limited, growing evidence regarding carboplatin-based HIPEC highlights its potential. This retrospective study included all patients with advanced primary high-grade serous ovarian cancer who underwent interval CRS combined with carboplatin-based HIPEC at our Canadian tertiary care center between 2014 and 2020. We identified 40 patients with a median age of 61 years. The median peritoneal cancer index was 13 and complete cytoreduction was achieved in 38 patients (95%). Median hospital stay was 13 days and there were four admissions to the intensive care unit (10%) and six readmissions (15%). Severe adverse events occurred in eight patients (20%) and there was no perioperative death. Recurrence was seen in 33 patients (82%) with a median DFS of 18.0 months and a median overall survival of 36.4 months. Multivariate analyses showed that age, peritoneal cancer index, completeness of cytoreduction, occurrence of severe complications, and bowel resection did not significantly impact DFS or OS in our cohort. Interval CRS combined with carboplatin-based HIPEC for advanced primary EOC is associated with acceptable morbidity and oncological outcomes. Larger studies are required to determine the long-term outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS), versus primary debulking surgery (PDS), on quality of life (QoL) in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). DESIGN Randomised trial conducted in a single institution. SETTING Division of Gynaecologic Oncology, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy. SAMPLE Patients with stage-IIIC/IV EOC and high tumour load. METHODS Patients were randomised (1:1) to undergo either PDS (PDS group) or NACT followed by IDS (NACT/IDS group). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Quality-of-life (QoL) data, assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer core QoL questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and ovarian cancer module (OV28); co-primary outcomes were the QLQ-C30 global health score at 12 months (cross-sectional analysis) and the difference in mean QLQ-C30 global health score over time between treatment groups (longitudinal analysis). RESULTS From October 2011 to May 2016, 171 patients were enrolled (PDS = 84; NACT/IDS = 87). We observed no clinical or statistically significant difference between treatment groups in any of the QoL functioning scales at 12 months, including QLQ-C30 global health score (NACT/IDS group vs PDS group, mean difference 4.7, 95% CI -4.99 to 14.4, p = 0.340). Over time, we found lower global health scores for those undergoing PDS than for those receiving NACT (difference in mean score 6.27, 95% CI 0.440-12.11, p = 0.035), albeit this was not clinically relevant. CONCLUSIONS We found no difference in global QoL related to treatment approach at 12 months, even though patients in the NACT/IDS group reported better global health scores across the 12-month period compared with the PDS group; these findings further confirm that NACT/IDS might be a feasible option for patients unsuitable for PDS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of short-term postoperative complications on oncologic outcomes for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) or interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) with intestinal resection. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for patients with ovarian cancer who underwent PCS or ICS with at least one intestinal resection at our institution from 1/1/2015 to 12/31/2020. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed for the PCS and ICS cohorts separately. Short-term complications within 30 days of surgery (surgical secondary events [SSEs]) were graded by a validated institutional SSE system. RESULTS Among 437 patients who underwent intestinal resections during PCS (n = 289) or ICS (n = 148), 183 (42%) had one, 180 (41%) had two, and 74 (17%) had three intestinal resections. Six (1.4%) of 437 patients experienced an anastomotic leak postoperatively. There were no perioperative deaths. There was no difference in PFS and OS for patients who underwent PCS with any SSE vs. no SSE within 30 days of surgery (HR, 1.05; 95% CI: 0.76-1.47; p = 0.75 and HR, 0.79; 95% CI: 0.49-1.26; p = 0.32, respectively). There was no difference in PFS and OS for patients who underwent ICS with any SSE vs. no SSE within 30 days of surgery (HR, 1.43; 95% CI: 0.99-2.07; p = 0.055 and HR. 1.18; 95% CI: 0.72-1.93; p = 0.52, respectively. CONCLUSION Short-term postoperative morbidity for patients who underwent intestinal surgery during primary surgical management for advanced ovarian cancer did not impact oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Total parietal peritonectomy is gradually being recognized as a surgical option for advanced ovarian cancer; however, evidence regarding its efficacy and safety remains insufficient. Herein, we aimed to assess the short- and long-term post-operative safety profiles of total parietal peritonectomy. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of post-operative morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery with total parietal peritonectomy for stage III and IV ovarian cancer between April 2018 and January 2023. RESULTS Fifty patients were enrolled in the study: 31 who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery and 19 who underwent interval cytoreductive surgery. The median age of all patients was 57 (range, 23-74) years. The median follow-up period was 22 (range, 3-59) months. Of 44 patients (88%) with stage IIIC/IV, 38 patients (76%) had high-grade serous carcinoma. The complete resection rates were 94%, 91%, and 100% in all patients, the primary cytoreductive surgery group, and the interval cytoreductive surgery group, respectively. There were 63 post-operative complication events overall, including 17 (27%) major complication events in 15 patients within 1 year post-operatively. Ten major complications occurred within 30 days of surgery, mainly in the primary cytoreductive surgery group (9 cases). Regarding complication type, the most frequent major event was pleural effusion (3 cases, 7%). After 30 days, there were a total of 17 all-grade complication events, of which ileus and hydronephrosis were major complications in 3 cases each (18%). There were no mortalities related to cytoreductive surgery. The scheduled adjuvant chemotherapy could be completed in 96% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Total parietal peritonectomy is a feasible procedure for managing advanced ovarian cancer. Short- and long-term complications may include pleural effusion and ileus/hydronephrosis, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The peritoneal cancer index quantitatively assesses cancer distribution and tumor burden in the peritoneal cavity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between the peritoneal cancer index and completeness of surgical cytoreduction for ovarian cancer and to identify a cut-off above which complete cytoreduction is unlikely. METHODS This is a single-center prospective cohort observational study. A total of 100 consecutive patients who underwent ovarian cancer surgery were included. Peritoneal cancer index scores prior to and after surgery were calculated, and a cut-off value for incomplete cytoreduction was identified using a receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Surgical complexity, blood loss, length of surgery, and complications were analyzed and associations with the peritoneal cancer index score were evaluated. RESULTS The overall median peritoneal cancer index score was 9.5 (range 0-36). The median age of the patients was 61 years (range 24-85). The most common stage was III (13% stage II, 53% stage III, 34% stage IV) and the most common histologic sub-type was high-grade serous (76% high-grade serous, 8% low-grade serous, 5% clear cell, 4% serous borderline, 2% endometrioid, 2% adult granulosa cell, 2% adenocarcinoma, 1% carcinosarcoma). Complete cytoreduction was achieved in 82% of patients, with a median score of 9 (range 0-30). The remaining 18% had a median score of 28.5 (range 0-36). The best predictor of incomplete cytoreduction was the peritoneal cancer index score, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.928 (95% CI 0.85 to 1.00). ROC curve analysis determined a peritoneal cancer index cut-off score of 20. Major complications occurred in 15% of patients with peritoneal cancer index scores >20 and in 2.5% of patients with scores ≤20, which was statistically significant (p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS In our study we found that a peritoneal cancer index score of ≤20 was associated with a high likelihood of complete cytoreduction. Incorporating the peritoneal cancer index into routine surgical practice and research may impact treatment plans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare all-cause and cancer-specific mortality between women who underwent fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) versus standard surgery for stage IA and IC epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS Reproductive aged patients (18-45) with stage IA or IC epithelial ovarian cancer diagnosed between 2000 and 2015 were identified in the California Cancer Registry. FSS was defined as retention of the contralateral ovary and the uterus, and standard surgery included at least removal of both ovaries and the uterus. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality and the secondary outcome was cancer-specific mortality. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to create two groups balanced on covariates of interest. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards analysis were used to model survival outcomes. RESULTS Among 1119 women who met inclusion criteria, 390 (34.9%) underwent FSS. IPTW yielded a balanced cohort of 394 women who underwent FSS and 723 women who underwent standard surgery. Among patients who underwent FSS, there were 45 deaths corresponding to an 85.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-0.92) 10-year all-cause survival probability, compared to 81 deaths and 86.4% 10-year all-cause survival probability (95% CI 0.83-0.90) among patients who underwent standard surgery. FSS was not associated with increased all-cause mortality (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.72-1.49) or cancer-specific mortality (HR 1.50, 95%CI 0.97-2.31). CONCLUSIONS Among reproductive-aged patients with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer fertility-sparing surgery was not associated with an increased risk of death compared to standard surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bowel dysfunction is frequently reported in patients with ovarian carcinoma (OC). Our aim was to evaluate the incidence of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) like symptoms in patients with primary OC and its impact on quality of life (QoL). METHODS A prospective longitudinal observational cohort study was performed, including patients with newly diagnosed OC treated by primary or interval surgery with residual tumor <1 cm, from 2018 until 2021. Patients with a stoma or recurrence of disease were excluded. Intestinal dysfunction was assessed using the validated LARS score questionnaire pre- and postoperatively. There are 3 subgroups based on the results: no, minor, or major LARS. The impact on QoL was evaluated by an additional question to demonstrate the severity of patient's life impairment. RESULTS The questionnaire was answered by 78 patients pre- and post-operatively. LARS like symptoms were reported preoperatively in 34.6% (24.4% minor/10.2% major) and significantly increased postoperatively to 47.4% (28.2% minor/19.2% major; p = 0.011). Moderate to severe impairment of QoL correlated with LARS scores pre- (80%) and post-operatively (90%). Patients with two bowel anastomoses (mean score 18.6 pre- and 24.9 post-operatively, p = 0.041) showed a significant increase of the questionnaire score. CONCLUSIONS Major LARS like symptoms appear in 10% of OC patients preoperatively and significantly increase to almost two-fold postoperatively. Multiple bowel anastomoses had a significant risk for higher postoperative LARS score. QoL impairment correlates linearly with LARS positive scoring, independent on the timing of the complaints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) represents a treatment option in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC) who are not good candidates for primary debulking surgery. Usually, 3 cycles of chemotherapy before surgery have been considered the best option for patient survival, although quite often some patients receive more than 3 cycles. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to identify the optimal number of NACT cycles reporting better survival in AEOC patients. METHODS PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were searched for original articles that analyzed the relationship between the number of chemotherapy cycles and clinical outcomes in AEOC patients before interval debulking surgery (IDS). The main outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS A total of 22 studies comprising 7,005 patients diagnosed with AEOC were included in our analysis. In terms of survival, the reviewed studies dividing the patients in ≤3 NACT cycles vs. >3, showed a trend for a decrease in PFS and a significant reduction in OS with an increasing number of cycles, while a difference in both PFS and OS was revealed if early IDS included patients with 4 NACT cycles. These results should be interpreted with caution due to the complex characteristics of AEOC patients. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our review and meta-analysis revealed that there is not enough evidence to determine the optimal number of NACT treatments before surgery. Further research in the form of well-designed randomized controlled trials is necessary to address this issue. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO Identifier: CRD42022334959.

Abstract
Importance Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) followed by interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) has shown survival benefits for patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer. However, there is still a lack of consensus regarding the integration of HIPEC into clinical practice. Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ICS with HIPEC compared with ICS alone in clinical practice for patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective, multicenter, comparative effectiveness cohort study enrolled 205 patients with stage III or IV ovarian cancer who had received at least 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by ICS with HIPEC or ICS without HIPEC at 7 Korean Gynecologic Oncology Group institutions between September 1, 2017, and April 22, 2022. Nine patients were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Exposures Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by ICS with HIPEC or ICS without HIPEC. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Overall survival (OS) and the safety profile were the key secondary end points. Results This study included 196 patients (median age, 58.0 years [range, 38-82 years]), of whom 109 underwent ICS with HIPEC and 87 underwent ICS without HIPEC. The median duration of follow-up was 28.2 months (range, 3.5-58.6 months). Disease recurrence occurred in 128 patients (65.3%), and 30 patients (15.3%) died. Interval cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC was associated with a significant improvement in median PFS compared with ICS without HIPEC (22.9 months [95% CI, 3.5-58.6 months] vs 14.2 months [95% CI, 4.0-56.2 months]; P = .005) and median OS (not reached [95% CI, 3.5 months to not reached] vs 53.0 [95% CI, 4.6-56.2 months]; P = .002). The frequency of grade 3 or 4 postoperative complications was similar in both groups (ICS with HIPEC, 3 of 109 [2.8%] vs ICS without HIPEC, 3 of 87 [3.4%]; P > .99). Among patients with recurrence, the frequency of peritoneal recurrence was lower in the ICS with HIPEC group than in the ICS without HIPEC group (21 of 64 [32.8%] vs 41 of 64 [64.1%]; P = .001). Conclusions and Relevance This study suggests that ICS in conjunction with HIPEC was associated with longer PFS and OS than ICS without HIPEC for patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer and was not associated with higher rates of postoperative complications. The lower rate of peritoneal recurrence after HIPEC may be associated with improved OS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A study of tumor resectability in pre-operative patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer is required to predict primary surgical benefits accurately. This study aims to investigate IL6, CA-125 and HE4 to predict tumor resectability in the pre-operative patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in the polyclinic, oncology and gynecology inpatient room of Dr. M. Jamil Padang Hospital from June until December 2022. Advanced epithelial ovarian cancer stage based on histology result from FIGO stages IIIB-IVA. IL6, CA-125, and HE4 were measured using ECLIA (electrochemiluminescence immunoassay). Categorical data were assessed using Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests. Numerical variable correlations were analyzed using Pearson Correlation tests. While the correlation between numerical and nominal variables was analyzed using the Eta correlation test. A p-value of <0,05 was considered a significant correlation. The cut-off value of serum IL6, CA-125, and HE4 was determined with a ROC curve. The sensitivity and specificity of each clinical parameter were calculated. RESULTS There was a significant difference in IL-6 (1328 vs 752 pg/ml; p<0,001), CA-125 (1260,5 vs 819,5 U/ml; p<0,001), and HE4 levels (1320 vs 760 pmol/L; p<0,001) between patients with tumor resectability of > 1 cm (suboptimal) vs < 1 cm (optimal). There was a correlation between IL6 (r = 0,832), CA-125 (r = 0,716), and HE4 (r = 0,716) with tumor resectability. CONCLUSION Measuring IL6, CA-125, and HE4 levels is useful for clinicians to predict tumor resectability in pre-operative patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy remains the surgical standard management of early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. Sentinel lymph node mapping is being investigated as an alternative procedure; however, data reporting sentinel lymph node performance are heterogeneous and limited. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy of sentinel lymph node mapping in patients with early-stage ovarian cancer. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in Medline (through PubMed), Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. We included patients with clinical stage I-II ovarian cancer undergoing a sentinel lymph node biopsy and a pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy as a reference standard. We conducted a meta-analysis for the detection rates and measures of diagnostic accuracy and assessed the risk of bias using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 tool. The study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) with identifying number CRD42022351497. RESULTS After duplicate removal, we identified 540 studies, 18 were assessed for eligibility, and nine studies including 113 patients were analyzed. The pooled detection rates were 93.3% per patient (95% CI 77.8% to 100%; I2=74.3%, p<0.0001), and the sentinel lymph node technique correctly identified 11 of 12 patients with lymph node metastases, with a negative predictive value per patient of 100% (95% CI 97.6% to 100%; I2=0%). The combination of indocyanine green and 99mTc-albumin nanocolloid had the best detection rate (100% (95% CI 94% to 100%; I2=0%)) when injected into the utero-ovarian and infundibulo-pelvic ligaments. CONCLUSION Sentinel lymph node biopsy in early-stage ovarian cancer showed a high detection rate and negative predictive value. The utero-ovarian and infundibulo-pelvic injection using the indocyanine green and technetium-99 combination could increase sentinel lymph node detection rates. However, given the limited quality of evidence and the small number of reports, results from ongoing trials are awaited before its implementation in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a change in the Fagotti score (ΔFagotti) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy is predictive of resection to no residual disease (R0) and survival in women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. METHODS Women treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for newly diagnosed ovarian cancer between January 2012 and June 2021 at the Bern University Hospital were included in this retrospective cohort study. Fagotti scores before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment were assessed for a potential association with resection status at interval debulking surgery defined as no residual disease (R0), macroscopic residual disease with a diameter of 0.1-1 cm (R1) or >1 cm (R2), and survival. RESULTS During the study period, 130 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, mainly in response to advanced ovarian cancer International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages IIIC (68.5%) or IV (20.8%). 91 patients (70%) experienced a relapse and 81 (62%) died due to their disease. Median overall survival was 40 months (95% CI 30.6 to 49.4). Fagotti scores dropped from a mean of 7.8 (95% CI 7.14 to 8.42) at diagnosis to 3.9 (95% CI 3.34 to 4.46, p<0.001) after neoadjuvant therapy. This decrease was associated with resection status during interval debulking surgery (mean ΔFagotti -4.9 in R0, -2.2 in R1, -0.6 in R2, p<0.001). Women whose Fagotti score declined more than 2 points after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (n=51/88, 58%) survived significantly longer (median overall survival of 42 vs 32 months, p=0.048). CONCLUSION Fagotti scores and ΔFagotti scores are associated with complete cytoreduction at interval debulking surgery and longer overall survival in women treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. These markers are valuable for individualized patient treatment planning and should always be performed after neoadjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Recent advances in epithelial ovarian cancer research have led to a shift in treatment strategy from the traditional 'organ-centric' to a personalized tumor biology-based approach. Nevertheless, we are still far behind an individualized approach for cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer; the gold standard of primary treatment in combination with systemic agents. The impact of tumor biology on treatment sequence is still understudied. It is obvious, that response to platinum-based therapy is crucial for the success of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. While high-grade serous and endometrioid tumors are commonly characterized by an excellent response, other subtypes are considered poor responders or even resistant to platinum. Undoubtedly, neoadjuvant chemotherapy may filter poor responders, but to date, we still do not have appropriate alternatives to platinum-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant and first-line setting and 'adjusting' systemic treatment in cases of poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains elusive. Primary cytoreduction is still considered the gold standard for fit patients with operable tumor dissemination patterns, especially for those ovarian cancer subtypes that show poor response to platinum. Of note, even in high-grade serous ovarian cancer, approximately 20% of tumors are platinum resistant and the benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in this subgroup is limited. Interestingly, these tumors are associated with the mesenchymal molecular subtype, which in turn correlates with high risk for residual disease after cytoreductive surgery and is characterized by the worst survival outcome among high-grade ovarian cancers. This leads to the question, how to best tailor surgical radicality at the onset of patients' presentation to avoid associated morbidity and with a moderate benefit. Here, we give an overview of recent advances of interaction between tumor biology and surgery in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare 30-day postoperative complications for patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent resection to no gross residual disease versus optimal and suboptimal cytoreduction. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of women drawn from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program who underwent cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer between 2014 and 2019 was performed. Exposure of interest was extent of surgical resection defined as no gross residual disease; residual disease <1 cm (optimal); and residual disease >1 cm (suboptimal). Primary outcome was postoperative complication. Associations were examined with bivariable tests and multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 2248 women underwent cytoreductive surgery; 68.4% (n = 1538) underwent resection to no gross residual disease, 22.4% (n = 504) had an optimal, and 9.2% (n = 206) had a suboptimal cytoreduction. Optimal cytoreduction patients had the highest rates of any postoperative complication (35.5%, p < 0.001). They also had the longest operative times and procedures that were most surgically complex (203 min, 43.6 relative value units, both p < 0.05). However, patients who underwent optimal cytoreduction did not have increased odds of major complications (adjusted odds ratio: 1.20, 95% confidence interval: 0.91-1.58). CONCLUSION Patients who underwent optimal cytoreduction had more postoperative complications, required the most operating room time, and represented more complex surgeries compared with suboptimal cytoreduction or resection to no gross residual disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The OVHIPEC-1 trial previously showed that the addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to interval cytoreductive surgery resulted in improved progression-free and overall survival compared with cytoreductive surgery alone at 4·7 years of follow-up in patients with stage III epithelial ovarian cancer who were ineligible for primary cytoreduction. We report the final survival outcomes after 10 years of follow-up. METHODS In this open-label, randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, patients with primary epithelial stage III ovarian cancer were recruited at eight HIPEC centres in the Netherlands and Belgium. Patients were eligible if they were aged 18-76 years, had not progressed during at least three cycles of neoadjuvant carboplatin plus paclitaxel, had a WHO performance status score of 0-2, normal blood counts, and adequate renal function. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to undergo interval cytoreductive surgery without HIPEC (surgery group) or with HIPEC (100 mg/m2 cisplatin; surgery-plus-HIPEC group). Randomisation was done centrally by minimisation with a masked web-based allocation procedure at the time of surgery when residual disease smaller than 10 mm diameter was anticipated, and was stratified by institution, previous suboptimal cytoreductive surgery, and number of abdominal regions involved. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival and a secondary endpoint was overall survival, analysed in the intention-to-treat population (ie, all randomly assigned patients). This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00426257, and is closed. FINDINGS Between April 1, 2007, and April 30, 2016, 245 patients were enrolled and followed up for a median of 10·1 years (95% CI 8·4-12·9) in the surgery group (n=123) and 10·4 years (95% CI 9·5-13·3) in the surgery-plus-HIPEC group (n=122). Recurrence, progression, or death occurred in 114 (93%) patients in the surgery group (median progression-free survival 10·7 months [95% CI 9·6-12·0]) and 109 (89%) patients in the surgery-plus-HIPEC group (14·3 months [12·0-18·5]; hazard ratio [HR] 0·63 [95% CI 0·48-0·83], stratified log-rank p=0·0008). Death occurred in 108 (88%) patients in the surgery group (median overall survival 33·3 months [95% CI 29·0-39·1]) and 100 (82%) patients in the surgery-plus-HIPEC group (44·9 months [95% CI 38·6-55·1]; HR 0·70 [95% CI 0·53-0·92], stratified log-rank p=0·011). INTERPRETATION These updated survival results confirm the long-term survival benefit of HIPEC in patients with primary stage III epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing interval cytoreductive surgery.

Abstract
(1) Monocytes and neutrophil granulocytes are the phagocytic cells of the innate immune system, playing a crucial role in recognizing and eliminating tumor-transformed cells. Our objective was to assess the impact of advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and cytoreductive surgery on the phagocytic function of peripheral monocytes and neutrophil granulocytes. We aimed to compare the pre- and postoperative phagocytic function of these immune cells in EOC patients with healthy control women. Additionally, we aimed to examine the influence of surgery on phagocytic function by comparing pre- and postoperative samples from patients with benign gynecological tumors. (2) We examined peripheral blood samples from 20 patients with FIGO IIIC stage high-grade serous EOC and 16 patients with benign gynecological tumors as surgical controls, collected before and seven days after tumor removal surgery, and from 14 healthy women. After separation, the cells were incubated with Zymosan-A particles, and the phagocytic index (PI) was assessed using immunofluorescence microscopy. One-way ANOVA, the Kruskal-Wallis H-test, and the paired samples t-test were used for the statistical analysis of the data. A significance level of p < 0.05 was applied. (3) Peripheral monocytes and neutrophils from EOC patients exhibited significantly lower preoperative PI values compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001; p < 0.001, respectively). Following cytoreductive surgery, the PI values of immune cells in EOC patients significantly increased by the 7th postoperative day (p < 0.001; p < 0.001), reaching levels comparable to those of healthy controls (p = 0.700 and p = 0.991). In contrast, there was no significant disparity in the PI values of cells obtained from pre- and postoperative blood samples of surgical controls when compared to healthy women (monocytes: p = 0.361 and p = 0.303; neutrophils: p = 0.150 and p = 0.235). (4) EOC and/or its microenvironment may produce factors that reduce the phagocytic function of monocytes and neutrophils, and the production of these factors may be reduced or eliminated after tumor removal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary objective was to characterize the rate of lymph node involvement in a cohort of patients with primary ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Additionally, we sought to quantify the recurrence rate, genetic alterations, and impact of lymphadenectomy on survival in this group of patients. METHODS Patients diagnosed with primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the ovary without synchronous carcinomas of the female genital tract between 2012 and 2021 were identified. Demographic and disease-related data were collected from pathology reports and clinical records. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis using log rank test and Cox regression was performed. RESULTS Sixty-three patients met inclusion criteria. Median age was 60 (range 22-90) years. Histologic grade was 1 in 20 (32%), 2 in 27 (43%), and 3 in 16 (25%) tumors. International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage after surgery included IA/B (n=20, 32%), IC (n=23, 37%), II (n=16, 25%), and III (n=4, 6%). Forty-one (65%) patients had pelvic and 33 (52%) had both pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. All assessed lymph nodes were negative for metastatic carcinoma. No patients with clinically pelvis-confined disease had tumors upstaged by either lymphadenectomy or omentectomy. Twenty-eight patients (44%) had germline mutational status documented; two had a germline BRCA mutation, confirmed to be pathogenic by molecular studies. Complete staging did not significantly impact progression free or overall survival, after adjusting for age and histologic grade in a Cox proportional hazards model. The recurrence rate was 15% for patients with grade 1 endometrioid carcinoma, 7% for grade 2, and 31% for grade 3, respectively. CONCLUSION There were no lymph node metastases in patients with comprehensively staged primary endometrioid ovarian carcinoma. Staging did not impact survival and may be omitted, regardless of grade. Germline BRCA mutations are rare in ovarian endometrioid carcinoma compared with reported rates in high-grade serous carcinomas.
