Abstract
OBJECTIVE The combination of dostarlimab with carboplatin and paclitaxel has demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in primary advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer (EC). However, prior studies have not found immunotherapy to be cost-effective, or cost-effective only in specific subgroups, of recurrent endometrial cancer. This study aimed to determine the cost-effectiveness of combination therapy compared to chemotherapy alone. METHOD A partitioned survival model was developed to compare the cost and effectiveness of dostarlimab in combination with chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone in primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Clinical data was derived from the RUBY trial and drug costs from average sale prices. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was compared to a set willingness to pay (WTP) of $100,000/QALY to determine cost-effectiveness. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS In the intention-to-treat (ITT) population, the dostarlimab combination incurred an additional cost of $308,430 but provided an additional 5.67 QALYs compared to chemotherapy alone. The ICER was $54,406/QALY. The dostarlimab combination was cost-effective compared to chemotherapy alone irrespective of MMR expression, with an ICER of $32,287/QALY for MMR deficient (MMRd) EC and $85,744/QALY for MMR proficient (MMRp) EC. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the combination was cost-effective in 98.2% of iterations at the current WTP threshold. CONCLUSIONS Despite the higher cost, adding dostarlimab to platinum chemotherapy significantly improves QALYs, rendering this regimen cost-effective relative to chemotherapy alone for treating primary advanced or recurrent EC. Combination therapy is a cost-effective approach for this patient population compared to chemotherapy alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of a platinum doublet for the treatment of platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) recurrence is well established. The impact of the non‑platinum chemotherapy used as part of a platinum doublet on PARP inhibitor (PARPi) and platinum sensitivity it not known. We aimed to describe oncologic outcomes in cases of recurrent EOC receiving PARPi as maintenance therapy based on preceding platinum doublet. METHODS Retrospective study of patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer treated with platinum doublet followed by maintenance PARPi from 1/1/2015 and 1/1/2022. Comparisons were made between patients receiving carboplatin + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (CD) versus other platinum doublets (OPDs). Descriptive statistics, Kaplan-Meier and univariate survival analyses were performed. RESULTS 100 patients received PARPi maintenance following a platinum doublet chemotherapy regimen for platinum-sensitive recurrence. 25/100 (25%) received CD and 75/100 (75%) received OPDs. Comparing CD and OPDs, median progression-free survival was 8 versus 7 months (p = 0.26), median time to platinum resistance was 15 versus 13 months (p = 0.54), median OS was 64 versus 90 months (p = 0.28), and median OS from starting PARPi was 25 versus 26 months (p = 0.90), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin as part of a platinum doublet preceding maintenance PARPi for platinum-sensitive recurrence does not seem to hasten PARPi resistance or platinum resistance compared to OPDs. Although there was a non-significant trend towards increased OS among patients who received a platinum doublet other than CD prior to PARPi, the OS from PARPi start was similar between groups. Given the retrospective nature of this study and small study population, further research is needed to evaluate if the choice of platinum doublet preceding PARPi maintenance impacts PARPi resistance, platinum resistance and survival.

Abstract
Importance Racial and ethnic disparities in clinical trial enrollment are unjust and hinder development of new cancer treatments. Objective To examine the association of race and ethnicity with clinical trial enrollment among women with endometrial, ovarian, or cervical cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective cohort study used data from the National Cancer Database, a hospital-based cancer registry, and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER), a population-based cancer registry. Population-based race and ethnicity-specific proportions for each cancer site were derived from SEER. Participants included women with an endometrial, ovarian, or cervical cancer diagnosed from 2004 to 2019. Analyses were performed from February 2 to June 14, 2023. Exposure Race and ethnicity were categorized as American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black, Hispanic (any race), Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, White, and other (not defined in the National Cancer Database). Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcomes were the odds of clinical trial enrollment and representation in clinical trials compared with the US population. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for associations of race and ethnicity with clinical trial enrollment within the National Cancer Database sample. Participation-to-prevalence ratios (PPRs) according to diagnosis period (2004-2011 vs 2012-2019) were calculated by dividing the race and ethnicity-specific percentage of clinical trial participants in the study sample by the percentage of racial and ethnic groups in SEER. Results Among 562 592 patients with gynecologic cancer (mean [SD] age at diagnosis, 62.9 [11.3] years), 1903 were American Indian/Alaska Native, 18 680 were Asian, 56 421 were Black, 38 145 were Hispanic, 1453 were Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, 442 869 were White, and 3121 were other race and ethnicity. Only 548 (<1%) were enrolled in clinical trials. Compared with White women, clinical trial enrollment was lower for Asian (OR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.25-0.78), Black (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.50-0.99), and Hispanic (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.33-0.83) women. Compared with the US population, White women were adequately or overrepresented for all cancer types (PPRs ≥1.1), Black women were adequately or overrepresented for endometrial and cervical cancers (PPRs ≥1.1) but underrepresented for ovarian cancer (PPR ≤0.6), and Asian and Hispanic women were underrepresented among all 3 cancer types (PPRs ≤0.6). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort of patients with gynecologic cancer, clinical trial enrollment was lower among certain minoritized racial and ethnic groups. Continued efforts are needed to address disparate clinical trial enrollment among underrepresented groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the impact of antibiotic (ABX) and proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) use on progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients treated with adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy (PC) for endometrial cancer (EC). METHODS A retrospective, single-institution cohort study of EC patients treated with ≥four cycles of adjuvant PC following surgical staging from 2014 to 2020. Demographics and clinicopathologic features, including ABX and PPI use, were compared using χ2 and Fisher's exact tests. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed, and survival outcomes were compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS Of 325 patients, 95 (29%) received ABX, and 80 (24.6%) received PPI. ABX were associated with decreased 3-year PFS (49.9% vs. 66%; p = 0.0237) but not 3-year OS (68.9% vs. 79.9%; p = 0.0649). ABX targeting gram-positive bacteria were associated with decreased 3-year PFS (21.2% vs. 66.0% vs. 55.4%; p = 0.0038) and 3-year OS (36.5% vs. 79.9% vs. 75.6%; p = 0.0014) compared to no ABX and other ABX, respectively. PPI use was associated with decreased 3-year PFS (46.9% vs. 66.0%; p = 0.0001) and 3-year OS (60.7% vs. 81.9%; p = 0.0041) compared to no PPI. On multivariable regression analysis controlling for confounders including stage, histology, grade, radiation, and co-morbidities, PPI use was independently associated with worse PFS (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.25-3.08; p = 0.0041) and OS (HR 2.06, 95% CI 1.01-4.18, p = 0.04). CONCLUSION In this retrospective cohort study, we demonstrate that PPI use is independently associated with worse PFS and OS in patients with EC treated with PC. ABX use was associated with worse PFS on univariate analysis only. There is an unmet need to understand how PPI, ABX, and, potentially, the microbiome impact the effectiveness of chemotherapy in EC patients.

Abstract
Objective To determine the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge (SDD) following minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) for elderly patients and to evaluate associations between age, frailty, and postoperative outcomes. Methods Retrospective review was conducted of patients aged ≥ 70 who underwent MIH within a single gynecologic oncology institution from 2018 to 2020. Demographics, peri-operative factors, postoperative complications, and 30-day readmission rates were collected. Frailty was determined by an 11-point modified frailty index ≥ 2. Outcomes were compared between SDD and observation groups using Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Results Of 169 patients included in the analysis, 8.9% (n = 15) underwent SDD, and 91.1% (n = 154) were admitted for OBS following MIH. Demographics, peri-operative factors, and frailty rates (33% SDD vs 43.5% observation; p = 0.59) were similar between groups. 86.7% (n = 13) of SDD cases were completed before 12PM, and none were completed after 6PM. No SDD patients had early post-operative complications or hospital readmissions. Early postoperative complications were diagnosed in 9 (5.8%) patients admitted for OBS, and the 30-day hospital readmission rate for patients who underwent OBS was 8.4% (n = 13). While elderly patients who met objective frailty criteria (n = 72) did not have a higher likelihood of early post-operative complications (44.4% vs 55.6%; p = 0.909), they did have a higher likelihood of ED visit within 30 days of discharge (15.3 vs 3.1%; p = 0.009), and a trend was noted toward a higher rate of 30-day hospital readmission (12.5% vs 4.1%; p = 0.080). Conclusions Elderly patients undergoing SDD following MIH did not have increased morbidity or mortality. Elderly patients who meet objective criteria for frailty, however, represent a more vulnerable population.

Abstract
Melanomas from gynecologic sites (MOGS) are rare and have poor survival. MicroRNAs (miRs) regulate gene expression and are dysregulated in cancer. We hypothesized that MOGS would display unique miR and mRNA expression profiles. The miR and mRNA expression profile in RNA from formalin fixed, paraffin embedded vaginal melanomas (relative to vaginal mucosa) and vulvar melanomas (relative to cutaneous melanoma) were measured with the Nanostring Human miRNA assay and Tumor Signaling mRNA assay. Differential patterns of expression were identified for 21 miRs in vaginal and 47 miRs in vulvar melanoma (fold change >2, p<0.01). In vaginal melanoma, miR-145-5p (tumor suppressor targeting TLR4, NRAS) was downregulated and miR-106a-5p, miR-17-5p, miR-20b-5p (members of miR-17-92 cluster) were upregulated. In vulvar melanoma, known tumor suppressors miR-200b-3p and miR-200a-3p were downregulated, and miR-20a-5p and miR-19b-3p, from the miR-17-92 cluster, were upregulated. Pathway analysis showed an enrichment of "proteoglycans in cancer". Among differentially expressed mRNAs, topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) was upregulated in both MOGS. Gene targets of dysregulated miRs were identified using publicly available databases and Pearson correlations. In vaginal melanoma, suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) was downregulated, was a validated target of miR-19b-3p and miR-20a-5p and trended toward a significant inverse Pearson correlation with miR-19b-3p (p = 0.093). In vulvar melanoma, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A) was downregulated, was the validated target of 22 upregulated miRs, and had a significant inverse Pearson correlation with miR-503-5p, miR-130a-3p, and miR-20a-5p (0.005 < p < 0.026). These findings support microRNAs as mediators of gene expression in MOGS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to provide a contemporary report on stage IVB endometrial carcinoma (2009 FIGO criteria) and applied the 2023 FIGO staging criteria to this population. METHODS Retrospective review of patients who underwent cytoreduction for stage IVB endometrial carcinoma (2009 FIGO criteria) from 2014 to 2020 was performed. Demographics, clinicopathologic factors, and outcomes were recorded. Disease burden and distribution were determined by imaging, operative notes, and pathology reports. Patients were re-staged according to 2023 FIGO staging criteria. Categorical variables were compared using χ2 or Fisher's exact test, and Kaplan-Meier curves compared survival outcomes using the log-rank test. RESULTS Eighty-eight cases were included. Most patients (63.6%) were not suspected to have stage IVB (2009 FIGO criteria) disease prior to surgery. Seventy-two percent of patients underwent primary cytoreduction, and 12 (19%) were suboptimal. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12 months (95% CI 10-16 months), and median overall survival (OS) was 38 months (95% CI 19-61 months). Degree of cytoreduction (p = 0.0101) and pelvic-confined metastatic disease (p = 0.0149) were significant prognostic factors, while distant metastases were not associated with worse outcomes. For those patients who underwent primary cytoreduction, number (p = 0.0453) and diameter (p = 0.0192) of tumor deposits were associated with PFS. When 2023 FIGO staging criteria were applied, 58% of patients underwent change in stage, and 8% did not meet criteria for complete staging. PFS was significantly different based on 2023 FIGO staging (p = 0.0307); a trend in OS was also noted (p = 0.0550). CONCLUSION Stage IVB endometrial carcinoma (2009 FIGO criteria) encompasses a diverse cohort of patients, where certain clinicopathologic features, tumor burden, and degree of cytoreduction are associated with outcomes. The 2023 FIGO staging criteria significantly improves our ability to risk-stratify patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe stage, treatment patterns, and survival for glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix (GCCC), a poorly understood rare tumor. METHODS Clinical data and survival were compared between GCCC and more common histologic types using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) from 2004 to 2017. A retrospective review of GCCC cases at our institution from 2012 to 2020 was simultaneously performed with staging updated according to 2018 FIGO staging. Descriptive statistics and survival analyses were performed, and outcomes compared to historical references. RESULTS 143/89,001 (0.16%) NCDB cervical cancer cases were GCCC. Compared to other histologies, GCCC cases were younger, with 74.8% diagnosed before age 50. Stage distribution was similar. Stage I cases were less commonly treated with surgery alone (19/69, 27%). 79.4% of locally advanced (stage II-IVA) cases were treated with definitive chemoradiation. GCCC demonstrated worse OS for early-stage and locally-advanced disease. No survival differences were observed for patients with stage IVB disease. Our institutional review identified 14 GCCC cases. Median age at diagnosis was 34 years. All nine early-stage cases underwent radical hysterectomy. Adjuvant radiation was given for cases meeting Sedlis criteria (4/9, 44%). All five advanced stage cases were stage IIIC and received definitive chemoradiation. Recurrence rate was 0% (0/9) for early-stage and 60% (3/5) for advanced-stage cases. 3-year PFS was 100% for early-stage and 40% for advanced-stage. 3-year OS was 100% for early-stage and 60% for advanced-stage GCCC. CONCLUSIONS GCCC presents at earlier ages than other cervical cancer histologic types. Although NCDB showed worse OS, our more contemporary institutional review, which incorporates updated staging and newer treatment modalities found outcomes more similar to historical references of more common histologic subtypes.

Abstract
Effective second-line treatment options for patients with recurrent ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) are limited. This case series sought to report tumor characteristics and oncologic outcomes in a small group of patients treated with combination lenvatinib and pembrolizumab. A retrospective analysis of patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma treated with combination lenvatinib and pembrolizumab at a single institution was performed. Patient and tumor characteristics were collected including demographics and germline/somatic testing. Clinical outcomes were also evaluated and reported. Three patients with recurrent OCCC were included in the study. The median age of patients was 48 years old. All patients had platinum-resistant disease and had received 1-3 prior lines of therapy. The overall response rate was 100% (3/3). Progression-free survival ranged from 10 months to not-yet-reached. One patient remains on treatment, while the other two died of disease with overall survival of 14 and 27 months. Combination lenvatinib-pembrolizumab demonstrated favorable clinical response in these patients with platinum-resistant, recurrent, ovarian clear cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Objective Gynecologic cancers are associated with a high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The Khorana score is a validated tool to assess risk of VTE in cancer patients. The purpose of this study is to determine if the Khorana score can be used as a risk stratification tool for VTE in patients with uterine cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods A retrospective cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed uterine cancer receiving chemotherapy over a 4-year period was conducted. The patients were stratified based on their Khorana score as well as their chemotherapy sequence, neoadjuvant or definitive versus adjuvant. Results A total of 276 patients were included: 40 received neoadjuvant or definitive, 236 adjuvant chemotherapy. Most patients had advanced stage disease (64.5%). 18 (6.5%) patients developed VTE within 180 days of initiating chemotherapy. High Khorana score was associated with a non-significant increase in VTE (K ≥ 2 OR 1.17, CI 0.40-3.39, K ≥ 3 OR 1.69, CI 0.61-4.69) but had poor predictive accuracy based on area under the curve (K ≥ 2 0.51, K ≥ 3 0.55). The VTE rate was higher in the neoadjuvant/definitive chemotherapy group to adjuvant (12.5% vs 5.5%, p = 0.11). While the former group had a higher average Khorana score (2.35 vs 1.93, p = 0.0048), this was not predictive of VTE. Conclusions While validated in other cancer types, the Khorana score was found to be a poor predictor of VTE in patients with uterine cancer. The use of the Khorana score to guide routine thromboprophylaxis in these patients should be used with caution and further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
Objective To determine the recurrence rate and survival among early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer cases considering homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status. Methods Single institution retrospective study of stage I/II EOC patients from 2017 to 2020. HRD was defined as evidence of germline or somatic BRCA mutation, or loss of heterozygosity (LOH)/genomic instability (GIS) as determined by companion diagnostic tests. Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed. Results 89 stage I/II cases were included. 4/89 (4.5%) had a germline BRCA1/2 mutation, 8 (9%) were germline negative but had a somatic BRCA mutation, and 8 (9%) were BRCA wild-type but had evidence of LOH/GIS on somatic testing; these 20/89 (22%) cases comprised the HRD group. The remaining tumors were confirmed homologous recombination proficient (HRP, 35/89, 39%) or homologous recombination unknown (HRU, 34/89, 38%). The overall recurrence rate was 33/89 (37%). There were more recurrences among HRD cases (14/20, 70%) compared to HRP/HRU cases (19/69, 27.5%, p = 0.0012). Median Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS) was 35 months for HRD cases and 225 months for HRP/HRU cases (p = 0.001). At 2 years, there were 60% HRD cases and 88% HRP/HRU cases recurrence-free. At 5 years there were 29% HRD and 69% HRP/HRU cases recurrence-free (p = 0.001). Conclusions Despite a high rate of complete surgical staging and six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, recurrence rate was high in this early-stage cohort. Higher recurrence rates were seen in the HRD group, however these data are likely biased by the clinical practice of tumor testing primarily at the time of recurrence rather than the upfront setting. RFS was significantly lower for HRD cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether morbid obesity should serve as an independent factor in the decision for same day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy. METHODS Retrospective review was performed of patients with BMI ≥ 40 who underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy within a single comprehensive cancer center between January 2018 - August 2020. Demographics, perioperative factors, post-operative monitoring, complications, and readmissions were compared between patients who underwent same day discharge and overnight observation using Fisher's exact tests and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. RESULTS 374 patients with BMI ≥ 40 were included. Eighty-three (22.2%) patients underwent same day discharge, and 291 (77.8%) patients underwent overnight observation. Factors associated with increased likelihood of same day discharge included younger age (median age 53 vs 58; p = 0.001), lower BMI (median BMI 45 vs 47; p = 0.005), and fewer medical co-morbidities (Charlson Co-Morbidity Index 2 vs 3; p < 0.001). On multivariate regression analysis, frailty (OR 2.16 [1.14-4.11], p = 0.019) and surgical completion time after 12 PM (OR 3.67 [2.16-6.24], p < 0.001) were associated with increased risk of overnight observation. Few patients admitted for routine overnight observation required medical intervention (n = 14, 4.8%); most of these patients were frail (64.3%). The overall hospital readmission rate within 30 days of discharge was 3.2% (n = 12), with no patients discharged on the day of surgery being readmitted. CONCLUSIONS Morbid obesity alone should not serve as a contraindication to same day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy. Admission for observation was associated with low rates of clinically meaningful intervention, and patients who underwent same day discharge were not at increased risk of adverse outcome.

Abstract
Purpose We sought to evaluate the contribution of mismatch repair (MMR) status to traditional risk stratification algorithms used to predict nodal involvement and recurrence in a large single-institution cohort. Methods Endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC) cases from 2014-2020 were evaluated. MMR immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed universally. Uterine factors assessed in the Mayo criteria were used to retrospectively classify patients as low or high risk for lymphatic spread. Patients were classified according to risk for recurrence using GOG 99 and PORTEC criteria. Associations were evaluated using chi-square and t-tests and contributing factors assessed using logistic regression models. Results 1,514 endometrioid EC were evaluated; 392 (25.9%) were MMR (MMR) deficient of which 80.4% of MMR defects were associated with epigenetic silencing of MLH1. Epigenetic MMR defects were significantly more likely to be high risk for lymph node (LN) metastasis based on Mayo criteria (74.9% vs 60.6%, p=<0.001) and with the presence of LN metastasis (20.3 vs 10.5%, p=0.003) compared to MMR proficient tumors. Tumors with epigenetic MMR defects were significantly more likely to be classified as high or high intermediate risk using GOG99 and PORTEC criteria. Furthermore, cases with epigenetic MMR defects classified as low or low intermediate risk were significantly more likely to recur (GOG99 p=0.013; PORTEC p=0.008) and independently associated with worse disease-free survival (DFS). MMR status was found to be independently associated with worse DFS (HR 1.90; 95% CI 1.34-2.70; p=0.003) but not overall survival. Conclusion While MMR deficient EC has been associated with poor prognostic features in prior reports; we demonstrate that only epigenetic MMR defects have poorer outcomes. Epigenetic MMR defect were independently associated with lymph node metastasis after controlling for risk criteria. Epigenetic MMR deficiency was found to be an independent predictor of recurrence beyond the factors considered in traditional risk stratification algorithms. Traditional uterine-based risk stratification algorithms may not fully reflect the risk for recurrence in MMR deficient tumors. Consideration should be given to implementing MMR status and MLH1 hypermethylation alongside traditional risk stratification algorithms. Performing MMR IHC on preoperative pathologic specimens may aid in risk stratification and patient counseling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing rates of same-day discharge following minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancer, the need for and value of routine postoperative testing is unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine whether routine postoperative laboratory testing following minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer leads to clinically significant changes in postoperative care. STUDY DESIGN This was a single-institution retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer by a gynecologic oncologist between June 2014 and June 2017. Patient demographics, preoperative comorbidities, operative and postoperative data, and pathologic findings were manually extracted from the patients' medical records. The financial burden of laboratory testing was computed using hospital-level cost data. RESULTS Of the 649 women included in the analysis, most (91.4%) were White, with a mean age of 61 years, and mean body mass index of 38.0 kg/m2. The most common comorbidities were diabetes mellitus (31.9%, n=207), chronic pulmonary disease (7.9%, n=51), and congestive heart failure (3.2%, n=21). Median operative time was 151 minutes (range, 61-278), and median estimated blood loss was 100 mL (range, 10-1500). Most patients (68.6%, n=445) underwent lymphadenectomy. All patients had postoperative laboratory tests ordered: 100% complete blood count, 99.7% chemistry, 62.9% magnesium, 46.8% phosphate, 37.4% calcium, and 1.2% liver function tests. Twenty-six patients (4.0%) had a change in management owing to postoperative laboratory test results. Of these 26 women, 88% experienced a change in clinical status that would have otherwise prompted testing. Only 3 (0.5% of entire cohort) were asymptomatic: 1 received a blood transfusion for asymptomatic anemia, and the other 2, who did not carry a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, had interventions for hyperglycemia. On univariable analysis, peripheral and cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus with end-organ damage, and a Charlson Comorbidity Index of ≥3 were associated with increased odds of change in management; these were not significant on multivariable analysis. Routine postoperative laboratory evaluation in this cohort increased hospital costs by $292,000. CONCLUSION Routine postoperative laboratory tests are unlikely to lead to significant changes in management for women undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer, and may increase cost without providing a discernible clinical benefit. In the setting of strict postoperative guidelines, laboratory tests should be ordered when clinically indicated rather than as part of routine postoperative management for women undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine patients with confirmed endometrial cancer recurrence; evaluate patterns, presentation, and mode of diagnosis. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of women with endometrial cancer diagnosis between 2014 and 2020. Disease recurrences were evaluated. Medical records were reviewed focusing on presentation at time of recurrence. Relationships were assessed using χ2, Fisher's exact test, t-test, and Wilcoxon test. The Kaplan-Meier product limit was used to estimate survival. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the impact of covariates. RESULTS Endometrial cancer recurrence was identified in 201 (11.7%) patients. Sixty percent (120/201) of patients presented with symptoms. Pain was the most common presenting symptom (23.4%, 47/201) and bleeding was reported in <14% (28/201). Patients with symptomatic presentation were less likely to be able to receive treatment for their recurrent disease (76.7% vs 91.3%, p = 0.005). Asymptomatic pelvic exam diagnosed recurrence in 13.4% (27/201) and was more common in patients initially diagnosed with early-stage disease (66.7% vs 34.5% p = 0.001) of endometrioid histology (66.7% vs 36.8%, p = 0.003) without prior adjuvant therapy (48.2% vs 17.9%, p = 0.001). More than1/3 of diagnoses were made by providers outside of the oncologic care team. CONCLUSION The majority of women with recurrent endometrial cancer were symptomatic and pain is a common complaint associated with disease recurrence. Patients with symptomatic presentation of disease recurrence were less likely to receive treatment for recurrent disease but this did not result in an overall survival (OS) difference. Given the rising mortality rate of endometrial cancer further work is needed to develop multidisciplinary surveillance strategies that will enable meaningful treatment of disease recurrence.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer in the United States, with less than half of patients living >5 years following diagnosis. The NCCN Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer provide recommendations for the diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up for patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers. These NCCN Guidelines Insights summarize the panel discussion behind recent important updates to the guidelines, including revised guidance on alternative chemotherapy regimens for patients with advanced age and/or comorbidities, a new algorithm for recurrent low-grade serous carcinoma based on developing research and novel therapeutic agents, and updated language regarding tumor molecular analysis applications in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most lethal malignancy of the female reproductive tract. A healthy ovary expresses both Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) and β (ERβ). Given that ERα is generally considered to promote cell survival and proliferation, thereby, enhancing tumor growth, while ERβ shows a protective effect against the development and progression of tumors, the activation of ERβ by its agonists could be therapeutically beneficial for ovarian cancer. Here, we demonstrate that the activation of ERβ using a newly developed ERβ agonist, OSU-ERb-12, can impede ovarian cancer cell expansion and tumor growth in an ERα-independent manner. More interestingly, we found that OSU-ERb-12 also reduces the cancer stem cell (CSC) population in ovarian cancer by compromising non-CSC-to-CSC conversion. Mechanistically, we revealed that OSU-ERb-12 decreased the expression of Snail, a master regulator of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is associated with de novo CSC generation. Given that ERα can mediate EMT and facilitate maintenance of the CSC subpopulation and that OSU-ERb-12 can block the transactivity of ERα, we conclude that OSU-ERb-12 reduces the CSC subpopulation by inhibiting EMT in an ERα-dependent manner. Taken together, our data indicate that the ERβ agonist OSU-ERb-12 could be used to hinder tumor progression and limit the CSC subpopulation with the potential to prevent tumor relapse and metastasis in patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combining immunotherapy and antiangiogenic agents is a promising treatment strategy in endometrial cancer. To date, no biomarkers for response have been identified and data on post-immunotherapy progression are lacking. We explored the combination of a checkpoint inhibitor (nivolumab) and an antiangiogenic agent (cabozantinib) in immunotherapy-naïve endometrial cancer and in patients whose disease progressed on previous immunotherapy with baseline biopsy for immune profiling. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this phase II trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03367741, registered December 11, 2017), women with recurrent endometrial cancer were randomized 2:1 to nivolumab with cabozantinib (Arm A) or nivolumab alone (Arm B). The primary endpoint was Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors-defined progression-free survival (PFS). Patients with carcinosarcoma or prior immune checkpoint inhibitor received combination treatment (Arm C). Baseline biopsy and serial peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples were analyzed and associations between patient outcome and immune data from cytometry by time of flight (CyTOF) and PBMCs were explored. RESULTS Median PFS was 5.3 (90% CI 3.5 to 9.2) months in Arm A (n=36) and 1.9 (90% CI 1.6 to 3.4) months in Arm B (n=18) (HR=0.59, 90% CI 0.35 to 0.98; log-rank p=0.09, meeting the prespecified statistical significance criteria). The most common treatment-related adverse events in Arm A were diarrhea (50%) and elevated liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase 47%, alanine aminotransferase 42%). In-depth baseline CyTOF analysis across treatment arms (n=40) identified 35 immune-cell subsets. Among immunotherapy-pretreated patients in Arm C, non-progressors had significantly higher proportions of activated tissue-resident (CD103+CD69+) ɣδ T cells than progressors (adjusted p=0.009). CONCLUSIONS Adding cabozantinib to nivolumab significantly improved outcomes in heavily pretreated endometrial cancer. A subgroup of immunotherapy-pretreated patients identified by baseline immune profile and potentially benefiting from combination with antiangiogenics requires further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic cancer in the U.S. The objective of this cohort study was to characterize the clinical and pathologic features that are associated with endometrial cancer-specific death for women cared for at a single National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. PATIENTS, MATERIALS, AND METHODS This is a retrospective cohort from 2014 to 2017 including all women who had a hysterectomy for EC. Charts were reviewed for clinical and pathologic data, focusing on survival outcomes. RESULTS Seven hundred seventy-one patients with EC underwent hysterectomy with 760 informative for outcomes. Seventy-six (10%) deaths were related to their EC; 62 women died from recurrent EC. Nonendometrioid histology and advanced stage were predictors of recurrence and EC death. Among patients with endometrioid ECs, mismatch repair status was significantly associated with EC-specific survival (relative risk = 4.8; 95% confidence interval, 2.3-10.3; p < .0001). Most patients with EC who recurred died of their disease 62/83 (74.7%). Nearly half of the patients that recurred (27/62) had no additional therapy at the time of recurrence. Overall survival was significantly longer for those women who had additional treatment at the time of recurrence; however, the improvement in overall survival with therapy at recurrence was largely attributable to effects in those women who were adjuvant therapy naïve. CONCLUSION Although there is benefit of treatment at the time of recurrence for treatment-naïve women; only approximately half of patients were able to receive therapy. There is an urgent need for continued efforts for more effective EC therapy in both the front-line and recurrent setting as well as early identification of cancer diagnosis and recurrence. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Approximately 10% of patients died of their endometrial cancer. Most deaths were from recurrent disease; however, almost 20% of endometrial cancer deaths were within 120 days of surgery. Although treatment at the time of recurrence improves overall survival, only approximately half of patients will receive therapy at the time of recurrence. Traditional prognostic features like histology and stage remain important to predict risk of recurrence, and newer biomarkers, such as mismatch repair status, may improve risk stratification and targeted therapy. There remains an urgent need for improved therapy and early detection of diagnosis and recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and describe toxicities associated with lenvatinib and weekly paclitaxel in patients with recurrent endometrial and platinum resistant epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS Using a 3 + 3 design patients were given weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV day 1, 8, 15 and oral levantinib daily on a 28-day cycle. Lenvatinib dose levels were 8 mg, 12 mg, 16 mg, 20 mg. Toxicities were recorded using CTCAE v4.03 and response was determined with imaging after cycle 2, then every 3rd cycle, using RECIST 1.1 criteria. RESULTS 26 patients were enrolled; 19 with ovarian cancer (14 high grade serous, 1 low grade serous, 2 clear cell, 1 endometrioid, and 1 carcinosarcoma), and 7 with endometrial cancer (3 serous, and 4 endometrioid). The MTD was established at lenvatinib 16 mg and weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2. Toxicities (all grades) occurring in ≥25% of patients included anemia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, mucositis, nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, hypertension, fatigue, proteinuria, epistaxis, hoarseness. Twenty-three patients were evaluable for response and PFS; 15 (65%) had a partial response, 7 (30%) stable, 1 (4%) progressive disease with an objective response rate of 65%; 71% in ovarian and 50% in endometrial cancer. Median progression free survival (PFS) is 12.4 months; 14.0 months in endometrial cancer, 7.2 months in ovarian cancer; 54% had a PFS > 6 months. The median duration of response for PR patients (n = 15) was 10.9 months. CONCLUSIONS The regimen was tolerable with manageable side effects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In 2014, the Society of Gynecologic Oncology's Clinical Practice Committee published a clinical update reviewing the treatment of women with endometrial cancer. At that time, there had been significant advances in the diagnosis, work-up, surgical management, and available treatment options allowing for more optimal care of affected women. Despite these advances, the incidence of endometrial cancer as well as the deaths attributable to the disease have continued to rise; from 1987 to 2014 there has been a 75% increase in cases and almost 300% increase in endometrial cancer deaths. Fortunately, since then, there has been progress in the treatment of patients with endometrial cancer with increased utilization of molecular pathology, greater understanding of genetic predisposition, enhanced methods for lymph node assessment, a broader understanding of the efficacy of radiation and chemotherapy, and a more efficient approach to survivorship and surveillance. The purpose of this document is to present a comprehensive review of this progress. MANUSCRIPT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS The authors reviewed the available evidence, contributed to the development of this manuscript, provided critical review of the guidelines, and finalized the manuscript recommendations. The review was also presented to and approved by the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Clinical Practice Committee, SGO Publications Committee, and the SGO board members prior to submission for publication. The recommendations for this manuscript were developed by a panel of gynecologic oncologists who were members of the SGO Clinical Practice and Education Committees. Panelists reviewed and considered evidence from current uterine cancer literature. The terminology used in these guidelines was adopted from the ASCCP management guidelines [1] using a two-part rating system to grade the strength of recommendation and quality of evidence (Table 1). The rating for each recommendation is given in parentheses.

Abstract
Androgen Receptor (AR) signaling is a critical driver of hormone-dependent prostate cancer and has also been proposed to have biological activity in female hormone-dependent cancers, including type I endometrial carcinoma (EMC). In this study, we evaluated the preclinical efficacy of a third-generation AR antagonist, enzalutamide, in a genetic mouse model of EMC, Sprr2f-Cre;Ptenfl/fl. In this model, ablation of Pten in the uterine epithelium leads to localized and distant malignant disease as observed in human EMC. We hypothesized that administering enzalutamide through the diet would temporarily decrease the incidence of invasive and metastatic carcinoma, while prolonged administration would result in development of resistance and loss of efficacy. Short-term treatment with enzalutamide reduced overall tumor burden through increased apoptosis but failed to prevent progression of invasive and metastatic disease. These results suggest that AR signaling may have biphasic, oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles in EMC that are dependent on disease stage. Enzalutamide treatment increased Progesterone Receptor (PR) expression within both stromal and tumor cell compartments. Prolonged administration of enzalutamide decreased apoptosis, increased tumor burden and resulted in the clonal expansion of tumor cells expressing high levels of p53 protein, suggestive of acquired Trp53 mutations. In conclusion, we show that enzalutamide induces apoptosis in EMC but has limited efficacy overall as a single agent. Induction of PR, a negative regulator of endometrial proliferation, suggests that adding progestin therapy to enzalutamide administration may further decrease tumor burden and result in a prolonged response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia, also known as complex atypical hyperplasia, is a precancerous lesion of the endometrium associated with a 40% risk of concurrent endometrial cancer at the time of hysterectomy. Although a majority of endometrial cancers diagnosed at the time of hysterectomy for endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia are low risk and low stage, approximately 10% of patients ultimately diagnosed with endometrial cancers will have high-risk disease that would warrant lymph node assessment to guide adjuvant therapy decisions. Given these risks, some physicians choose to refer patients to a gynecologic oncologist for definitive management. Currently, few data exist regarding preoperative factors that can predict the presence of concurrent endometrial cancer in patients with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia. Identification of these factors may assist in the preoperative triaging of patients to general gynecology or gynecologic oncology. OBJECTIVE To determine whether preoperative factors can predict the presence of concurrent endometrial cancer at the time of hysterectomy in patients with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia; and to describe the ability of preoperative characteristics to predict which patients may be at a higher risk for lymph node involvement requiring lymph node assessment at the time of hysterectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women undergoing hysterectomy for pathologically confirmed endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia from January 2004 to December 2015. Patient demographics, imaging, pathology, and outcomes were recorded. The "Mayo criteria" were used to determine patients requiring lymphadenectomy. Unadjusted associations between covariates and progression to endometrial cancer were estimated by 2-sample t-tests for continuous covariates and by logistic regression for categorical covariates. A multivariable model for endometrial cancer at the time of hysterectomy was developed using logistic regression with 5-fold cross-validation. RESULTS Of the 1055 charts reviewed, 169 patients were eligible and included. Of these patients, 87 (51.5%) had a final diagnosis of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia/other benign disease, whereas 82 (48.5%) were ultimately diagnosed with endometrial cancer. No medical comorbidities were found to be strongly associated with concurrent endometrial cancer. Patients with endometrial cancer had a thicker average endometrial stripe compared to the patients with no endometrial cancer at the time of hysterectomy (15.7 mm; standard deviation, 9.5) versus 12.5 mm; standard deviation, 6.4; P = .01). An endometrial stripe of ≥2 cm was associated with 4.0 times the odds of concurrent endometrial cancer (95% confidence interval, 1.5-10.0), controlling for age. In all, 87% of endometrial cancer cases were stage T1a (Nx or N0). Approximately 44% of patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer and an endometrial stripe of ≥2 cm met the "Mayo criteria" for indicated lymphadenectomy compared to 22% of endometrial cancer patients with an endometrial stripe of <2 cm. CONCLUSION Endometrial stripe thickness and age were the strongest predictors of concurrent endometrial cancer at time of hysterectomy for endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia. Referral to a gynecologic oncologist may be especially warranted in endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia patients with an endometrial stripe of ≥2 cm given the increased rate of concurrent cancer and potential need for lymph node assessment.

Abstract
Therapeutic agents targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis have shown durable clinical responses in patients with various cancer types. Although objective responses are common, intrapatient heterogeneous responses have been described, and the mechanism for the different organ responses remains unknown. We present a series of patients in whom a lack of response was noted solely in the adrenal glands. This is the first case series describing 3 patients with heterogeneous patterns of response to pembrolizumab with progression of adrenal metastatic disease despite objective response (complete or partial response) in all other sites of metastatic disease. Two patients, one with melanoma and one with uterine carcinosarcoma, underwent robotic adrenalectomy for enlarging adrenal metastases. An additional patient with melanoma underwent laparotomy with attempted resection, but infiltration of the adrenal tumor into the inferior vena cava prohibited safe excision. This report provides additional insight into the heterogeneous patterns of disease response to anti-PD-1 therapy, highlighting the adrenal gland as a potential sanctuary site for this immunotherapy. These cases display the potential benefit of early surgical resection in this scenario and the pitfalls of delaying referral to a surgeon for assessment of operative intervention.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are approved to treat recurrent ovarian cancer with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, and as maintenance therapy for recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (BRCA wild-type or mutated) after treatment with platinum. However, the acquired resistance against PARPi remains a clinical hurdle. Here, we demonstrated that PARP inhibitor (olaparib)-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cells exhibited an elevated aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, mainly contributed by increased expression of ALDH1A1 due to olaparib-induced expression of BRD4, a member of bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family protein. We also revealed that ALDH1A1 enhanced microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ) activity in EOC cells with inactivated BRCA2, a key protein that promotes homologous recombination (HR) by using an intrachromosomal MMEJ reporter. Moreover, NCT-501, an ALDH1A1-selective inhibitor, can synergize with olaparib in killing EOC cells carrying BRCA2 mutation in both in vitro cell culture and the in vivo xenograft animal model. Given that MMEJ activity has been reported to be responsible for PARPi resistance in HR-deficient cells, we conclude that ALDH1A1 contributes to the resistance to PARP inhibitors via enhancing MMEJ in BRCA2-/- ovarian cancer cells. Our findings provide a novel mechanism underlying PARPi resistance in BRCA2-mutated EOC cells and suggest that inhibition of ALDH1A1 could be exploited for preventing and overcoming PARPi resistance in EOC patients carrying BRCA2 mutation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess compliance with, and outcomes related to, the Society of Gynecologic Oncology quality measure in ovarian cancer to administer chemotherapy within 42 days of cytoreductive surgery in patients with epithelial ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer. METHODS Institutional ovarian cancer database was evaluated for compliance with the quality measure to administer chemotherapy within 42 days of cytoreductive surgery. The influence of chemotherapy timing on the risk of death was evaluated, and factors related to the timing of chemotherapy after surgery was assessed. RESULTS Of 668 patients with epithelial ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer who underwent surgical treatment for their disease (primary or interval), 635 met criteria for administration of adjuvant chemotherapy (with stages IA/IB, grade 2 or 3 disease; stage IC or more advanced stage disease). Compliance to administer chemotherapy within 42 days was 59.1%. The adjusted risk of death was not strongly associated with time to chemotherapy within 42 days (aHR: 0.80; 0.61, 1.05) and this did not differ by primary or interval debulking surgery. CONCLUSIONS In this prospectively maintained database, 59.1% of patients received chemotherapy within 42 days of surgery. The time to chemotherapy interval of within 42 days was not strongly associated with improved survival, particularly when age, stage of disease, insurance enrollment and surgical characteristics were taken into account. Further, the relationship between time to chemotherapy interval of within 42 days and survival did not vary by patients who received primary versus interval debulking surgery or had no residual disease.

Abstract
FOXA2, a member of the forkhead family of DNA-binding proteins, is frequently mutated in uterine cancers. Most of the mutations observed in uterine cancers are frameshifts and stops. FOXA2 is considered to be a driver gene in uterine cancers, functioning as a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor. The functional consequences of FOXA2 mutations, however, have not yet been determined. We evaluated the effects that frameshift mutations and a recurrent missense mutation have on FOXA2 transcriptional activity. Recurrent N-terminal frameshifts resulted in truncated proteins that failed to translocate to the nucleus and have no transcriptional activity using an E-cadherin/luciferase reporter assay. Protein abundance was reduced for the recurrent p.S169 W mutation, as was transcriptional activity. A C-terminal frameshift mutation had increased FOXA2 levels evidenced by both Western blot and immunofluorescence. Given that FOXA2 is a recognized activator of E-cadherin (CDH1) expression and E-cadherin's potential role in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in a wide range of cancer types, we tested the hypothesis that FOXA2 mutations in primary uterine cancer specimens would be associated with reduced CDH1 transcript levels. qRT-PCR revealed significantly lower levels of CDH1 expression in primary tumors with FOXA2 mutations. Our findings in vitro and in vivo suggest that reduced transcriptional activity associated with FOXA2 mutations in uterine cancers is likely to contribute to protumorigenic changes in gene expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stage is a critical determinant of prognosis and treatment for endometrial cancer (EC) patients. Women who have had a tubal ligation for sterilization have improved EC survival, secondary to lower stage at presentation, suggesting that transtubal spread may represent an important route of metastasis. We evaluated detection of intraluminal tumor cells (ILTCs) in relation to tumor characteristics and survival. METHODS One pathologist retrospectively evaluated hematoxylin and eosin sections of routinely collected fallopian tubes for ILTCs from 295 EC patients, masked to outcome. We used logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations between demographic (age, race) and clinical [FIGO 2009 stage, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), histological subtype] characteristics and ILTCs. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for associations between ILTCs and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and EC-specific survival, overall and stratified by histological subtype or stage. RESULTS In univariable logistic regression models, age (55-64 vs. ≥65: OR = 3.41, 95% CI = 1.48-7.84), stage (stage IV vs. stage I OR = 14.58, 95% CI = 5.27-40.35), LVSI (OR = 2.93, 95% CI = 1.42-6.04), and histological subtype (serous vs. low-grade endometrioid OR = 3.21, 95% CI = 1.08-9.58), were associated with ILTCs. Only age and stage remained significantly associated with ILTCs in adjusted models. ILTCs were significantly associated with lower EC-specific survival among women with serous EC or stage I disease; however, adjustment for age, stage, and histology attenuated these associations. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that ILTCs are associated with adverse EC prognostic features and reduced survival in cases of early stage or serous histology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of a simplified, clinically accessible classification system for endometrioid endometrial cancers combining Lynch syndrome screening and molecular risk stratification. METHODS Tumors from NRG/GOG GOG210 were evaluated for mismatch repair defects (MSI, MMR IHC, and MLH1 methylation), POLE mutations, and loss of heterozygosity. TP53 was evaluated in a subset of cases. Tumors were assigned to four molecular classes. Relationships between molecular classes and clinicopathologic variables were assessed using contingency tests and Cox proportional methods. RESULTS Molecular classification was successful for 982 tumors. Based on the NCI consensus MSI panel assessing MSI and loss of heterozygosity combined with POLE testing, 49% of tumors were classified copy number stable (CNS), 39% MMR deficient, 8% copy number altered (CNA) and 4% POLE mutant. Cancer-specific mortality occurred in 5% of patients with CNS tumors; 2.6% with POLE tumors; 7.6% with MMR deficient tumors and 19% with CNA tumors. The CNA group had worse progression-free (HR 2.31, 95%CI 1.53-3.49) and cancer-specific survival (HR 3.95; 95%CI 2.10-7.44). The POLE group had improved outcomes, but the differences were not statistically significant. CNA class remained significant for cancer-specific survival (HR 2.11; 95%CI 1.04-4.26) in multivariable analysis. The CNA molecular class was associated with TP53 mutation and expression status. CONCLUSIONS A simple molecular classification for endometrioid endometrial cancers that can be easily combined with Lynch syndrome screening provides important prognostic information. These findings support prospective clinical validation and further studies on the predictive value of a simplified molecular classification system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify clinicopathologic factors associated with 10-year overall survival in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and primary peritoneal cancer (PPC), and to develop a predictive model identifying long-term survivors. METHODS Demographic, surgical, and clinicopathologic data were abstracted from GOG 182 records. The association between clinical variables and long-term survival (LTS) (>10years) was assessed using multivariable regression analysis. Bootstrap methods were used to develop predictive models from known prognostic clinical factors and predictive accuracy was quantified using optimism-adjusted area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS The analysis dataset included 3010 evaluable patients, of whom 195 survived greater than ten years. These patients were more likely to have better performance status, endometrioid histology, stage III (rather than stage IV) disease, absence of ascites, less extensive preoperative disease distribution, microscopic disease residual following cyoreduction (R0), and decreased complexity of surgery (p<0.01). Multivariable regression analysis revealed that lower CA-125 levels, absence of ascites, stage, and R0 were significant independent predictors of LTS. A predictive model created using these variables had an AUC=0.729, which outperformed any of the individual predictors. CONCLUSIONS The absence of ascites, a low CA-125, stage, and R0 at the time of cytoreduction are factors associated with LTS when controlling for other confounders. An extensively annotated clinicopathologic prediction model for LTS fell short of clinical utility suggesting that prognostic molecular profiles are needed to better predict which patients are likely to be long-term survivors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced stage serous EOC. METHODS Patients enrolled in GOG-172 and 182 who provided specimens for translational research and consent were included. Germline DNA was evaluated with the Illumina's HumanOMNI1-Quad beadchips and scanned using Illumina's iScan optical imaging system. SNPs with allele frequency>0.05 and genotyping rate>0.98 were included. Analysis of SNPs for PFS and OS was done using Cox regression. Statistical significance was determined using Bonferroni corrected p-values with genomic control adjustment. RESULTS The initial GWAS analysis included 1,124,677 markers in 396 patients. To obtain the final data set, quality control checks were performed and limited to serous tumors and self-identified Caucasian race. In total 636,555 SNPs and 289 patients passed all the filters. The pre-specified statistical level of significance was 7.855e-08. No SNPs met this criteria for PFS or OS, however, two SNPs were close to significance (rs10899426 p-2.144e-08) (rs6256 p-9.774e-07) for PFS and 2 different SNPs were identified (rs295315 p-7.536e-07; rs17693104 p-7.734e-07) which were close to significance for OS. CONCLUSIONS Using the pre-specified level of significance of 1×10-08, we did not identify any SNPs of statistical significance for OS or PFS, however several were close. The SNP's identified in this GWAS study will require validation and these preliminary findings may lead to identification of novel pathways and biomarkers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pelvic exenteration (PE) is often the only curative option for locally advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancies. Despite radical surgery, recurrence risk and morbidity remain high. In this study, we sought to determine tumor size effect on perioperative outcomes and subsequent survival in patients undergoing PE. METHODS Retrospective chart review was performed for female patients who underwent PE at two comprehensive cancer centers from 2000 to 2015. Demographics, complications and outcomes were recorded. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square, student's t-test, logistic regression, non-parametric tests, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards. RESULTS Of 151 women who underwent PE, 144 had available pathologic tumor size. Gynecologic oncology, surgical oncology, and urology performed 84, 29, and 31 exenterations, respectively. Tumor dimensions ranged from 0 to 25.5cm. Perioperative complications, 30-day mortality, reoperation, and readmission rates were not associated with tumor size. Obesity and prior radiation increased risk for major perioperative complication while anterior exenterations decreased risk. Larger tumors were more likely to undergo total pelvic exenteration (OR 1.14; 95%CI 1.03-1.27), have positive margins (OR 1.11; 95%CI 1.02-1.22), and recur (65%, 42% and 20% for tumors >4cm, ≤4cm and no residual tumor respectively, p=0.016). Tumor size >4cm and positive margins were associated with worse overall survival amongst gynecologic oncology patients. CONCLUSION Tumor size was not associated with perioperative morbidity. Larger tumors were associated with positive margins, more extensive resection, and worse survival in gynecologic oncology patients. Larger studies are needed to further understand tumor size impact on PE outcomes within specific tumor types.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the relationship between mismatch repair (MMR) classification and clinicopathologic features including tumor volume, and explore outcomes by MMR class in a contemporary cohort. METHODS Single institution cohort evaluating MMR classification for endometrial cancers (EC). MMR immunohistochemistry (IHC)±microsatellite instability (MSI) testing and reflex MLH1 methylation testing was performed. Tumors with MMR abnormalities by IHC or MSI and MLH1 methylation were classified as epigenetic MMR deficiency while those without MLH1 methylation were classified as probable MMR mutations. Clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed. RESULTS 466 endometrial cancers were classified; 75% as MMR proficient, 20% epigenetic MMR defects, and 5% as probable MMR mutations. Epigenetic MMR defects were associated with advanced stage, higher grade, presence of lymphovascular space invasion, and older age. MMR class was significantly associated with tumor volume, an association not previously reported. The epigenetic MMR defect tumors median volume was 10,220mm3 compared to 3321mm3 and 2,846mm3, for MMR proficient and probable MMR mutations respectively (P<0.0001). Higher tumor volume was associated with lymph node involvement. Endometrioid EC cases with epigenetic MMR defects had significantly reduced recurrence-free survival (RFS). Among advanced stage (III/IV) endometrioid EC the epigenetic MMR defect group was more likely to recur compared to the MMR proficient group (47.7% vs 3.4%) despite receiving similar adjuvant therapy. In contrast, there was no difference in the number of early stage recurrences for the different MMR classes. CONCLUSIONS MMR testing that includes MLH1 methylation analysis defines a subset of tumors that have worse prognostic features and reduced RFS.

Abstract
Background Metastasis via pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph nodes is a major risk factor for endometrial cancer. Lymph-node resection ameliorates risk but is associated with significant co-morbidities. Incidence in patients with stage I disease is 4–22% but no mechanism exists to accurately predict it. Therefore, national guidelines for primary staging surgery include pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection for all patients whose tumor exceeds 2cm in diameter. We sought to identify a robust molecular signature that can accurately classify risk of lymph node metastasis in endometrial cancer patients. 86 tumors matched for age and race, and evenly distributed between lymph node-positive and lymph node-negative cases, were selected as a training cohort. Genomic micro-RNA expression was profiled for each sample to serve as the predictive feature matrix. An independent set of 28 tumor samples was collected and similarly characterized to serve as a test cohort. Results A feature selection algorithm was designed for applications where the number of samples is far smaller than the number of measured features per sample. A predictive miRNA expression signature was developed using this algorithm, which was then used to predict the metastatic status of the independent test cohort. A weighted classifier, using 18 micro-RNAs, achieved 100% accuracy on the training cohort. When applied to the testing cohort, the classifier correctly predicted 90% of node-positive cases, and 80% of node-negative cases (FDR = 6.25%). Conclusion Results indicate that the evaluation of the quantitative sparse-feature classifier proposed here in clinical trials may lead to significant improvement in the prediction of lymphatic metastases in endometrial cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synuclein-γ (SNCG) is highly expressed in advanced solid tumors, including uterine serous carcinoma (USC). The objective of the current study was to determine whether SNCG protein was associated with survival and clinical covariates using the largest existing collection of USCs from the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG-8023). METHODS High-density tissue microarrays (TMAs) of tumor tissues from 313 patients with USC were stained by immunohistochemistry for SNCG, p53, p16, FOLR1, pERK, pAKT, ER, PR, and HER2/neu. Associations of SNCG and other tumor markers with overall and progression-free survival were assessed using log-rank tests and Cox proportional-hazards models, which also were adjusted for age, race, and stage. RESULTS The overall survival at 5 years was 46% for women with high SNCG expression and 62% for those with low SNCG expression (log-rank P = .021; hazard ratio [HR], 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91-1.9 in adjusted Cox model). The progression-free survival rate at 5 years was worse for women who had high SNCG expression, at 40%, compared with 56% for those who had low SNCG expression (log-rank P = .0081; HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.96-1.92 in adjusted Cox model). High levels of both p53 and p16 were significantly associated with worse overall survival (p53: HR, 4.20 [95% CI, 1.54-11.45]; p16: HR, 1.95 [95% CI, 1.01-3.75]) and progression-free survival (p53: HR, 2.16 [95% CI, 1.09-4.27]; p16: HR, 1.53 [95% CI, 0.87-2.69]) compared with low levels. CONCLUSIONS This largest collection of USCs to date demonstrates that SNCG was associated with poor survival in univariate analyses. SNCG does not predict survival outcome independent of p53 and p16 in models that jointly consider multiple markers. Cancer 2017;123:1144-1155. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of retroperitoneal (RP) exploration on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients with stage IIIC disease who underwent optimal debulking surgery. METHODS Data were collected from records of the Gynecologic Oncology Group 182 (GOG-182) study of stage IIIC EOC patients cytoreduced to no gross residual disease (R0) or minimal gross residual (<1 cm) disease (MGRD) at primary surgery. Patients with stage IIIC disease by intraperitoneal (IP) tumor were included and divided into 3 groups: 1) > 2 cm IP tumor without lymph node involvement (IP/RP-), 2) > 2 cm IP tumor with lymph node involvement (IP/RP+), and 3) > 2 cm IP tumor with no RP exploration (IP/RP?). The effects of disease distribution and RP exploration on PFS and OS were assessed using Kaplan-Meier and proportional hazards methods. RESULTS There were 1871 stage IIIC patients in GOG-182 who underwent optimal primary debulking surgery. Of these, 689 (36.8%) underwent RP exploration with removal of lymph nodes from at least 1 para-aortic site, and 1182 (63.2%) did not. There were 269 patients in the IP/RP- group, 420 patients in the IP/RP + group, and 1182 patients in the IP/RP? group. Improved PFS (18.5 vs 16.0 months; P < .0001) and OS (53.3 vs 42.8 months; P < .0001) were associated with RP exploration versus no exploration. Patients with MGRD had improved PFS (16.8 vs 15.1 months, P = 0.0108) and OS (44.9 vs 40.5 months, P = 0.0076) versus no exploration. CONCLUSIONS RP exploration at the time of primary surgery in patients with optimally debulked stage IIIC EOC is associated with a survival benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Forkhead box protein A2 (FOXA2) plays an important in development, cellular metabolism and tumorigenesis. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) identified a modest frequency of FOXA2 mutations in endometrioid endometrial cancers (EEC). The current study sought to determine the relationship between FOXA2 mutation and clinicopathologic features in EEC and FOXA2 expression. METHODS Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing were used to identify mutations in 542 EEC. Western blot, quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to assess expression. Methylation analysis was performed using combined bisulfite restriction analysis (COBRA) and sequencing. Chi-squared, Fisher's exact, Student's t- and log-rank tests were performed. RESULTS Fifty-one mutations were identified in 49 tumors (9.4% mutation rate). The majority of mutations were novel, loss of function (LOF) (78.4%) mutations, and most disrupted the DNA-binding domain (58.8%). Six recurrent mutations were identified. Only two tumors had two mutations and there was no evidence for FOXA2 allelic loss. Mutation status was associated with tumor grade and not associated with survival outcomes. Methylation of the FOXA2 promoter region was highly variable. Most tumors expressed FOXA2 at both the mRNA and protein level. In those tumors with mutations, the majority of cases expressed both alleles. CONCLUSION FOXA2 is frequently mutated in EEC. The pattern of FOXA2 mutations and expression in tumors suggests complex regulation and a haploinsufficient or dominant-negative tumor suppressor function. In vitro studies may shed light on how mutations in FOXA2 affect FOXA2 pioneer and/or transcription factor functions in EEC.

Abstract
PURPOSE The clinicopathologic significance of mismatch repair (MMR) defects in endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) has not been definitively established. We undertook tumor typing to classify MMR defects to determine if MMR status is prognostic or predictive. METHODS Primary EECs from NRG/GOG0210 patients were assessed for microsatellite instability (MSI), MLH1 methylation, and MMR protein expression. Each tumor was assigned to one of four MMR classes: normal, epigenetic defect, probable mutation (MMR defect not attributable to MLH1 methylation), or MSI-low. The relationships between MMR classes and clinicopathologic variables were assessed using contingency table tests and Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS A total of 1,024 tumors were assigned to MMR classes. Epigenetic and probable mutations in MMR were significantly associated with higher grade and more frequent lymphovascular space invasion. Epigenetic defects were more common in patients with higher International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage. Overall, there were no differences in outcomes. Progression-free survival was, however, worse for women whose tumors had epigenetic MMR defects compared with the MMR normal group (hazard ratio, 1.37; P < .05; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.86). An exploratory analysis of interaction between MMR status and adjuvant therapy showed a trend toward improved progression-free survival for probable MMR mutation cases. CONCLUSION MMR defects in EECs are associated with a number of well-established poor prognostic indicators. Women with tumors that had MMR defects were likely to have higher-grade cancers and more frequent lymphovascular space invasion. Surprisingly, outcomes in these patients were similar to patients with MMR normal tumors, suggesting that MMR defects may counteract the effects of negative prognostic factors. Altered immune surveillance of MMR-deficient tumors, and other host/tumor interactions, is likely to determine outcomes for patients with MMR-deficient tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this prospective pilot study was to assess the clinical and histologic effects of topical imiquimod therapy on recurrent extramammary Paget's disease of the vulva. METHODS Patients with biopsy-proven recurrent extramammary Paget's disease presenting to the gynecology outpatient services at two participating institutions were recruited for conservative treatment with 5% imiquimod cream from 2007 to 2011. The topical cream was to be applied 3 times per week for 12weeks. Punch biopsy and photography were performed at baseline and at the 12-week time point. RESULTS Eight patients from two institutions were enrolled. Complete clinical and histologic response was achieved in 6 (75%) patients by the 12-week follow-up appointment. Of the two remaining patients, one had a complete clinical response but no significant histologic response; the other patient was removed from the study protocol secondary to intolerable local irritation. Two patients continue to have no evidence of disease after a median follow-up of 35months. Five are alive with disease. No patients progressed to invasive cancer while receiving therapy. CONCLUSION Topical 5% imiquimod cream is a safe and feasible option for women suffering from recurrent extramammary Paget's disease of the vulva, and should be considered as a viable alternative to surgical management. Given the rare nature of this disease, additional multi-institutional prospective studies should be conducted to explore the efficacy of this treatment regime.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a main risk factor for endometrial carcinoma (EC). Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) expression may influence this association. METHODS IGF1R IHC was performed on a tissue microarray with 894 EC and scored according to the percentage and intensity of staining to create immunoreactivity scores, which were dichotomized into low and high IGF1R expression groups. Logistic regression modeling assessed associations with body mass index (BMI), age, histology, pathologic extent of disease (pT), and lymph node metastasis (pN). Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between IGF1R expression groups using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. RESULTS The proportion of patients with high IGF1R expression increased as BMI (<30, 30-39, and 40+ kg/m(2)) increased (P = 0.002). The adjusted odds of having high IGF1R expression was 1.49 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05-2.10, P = 0.024] for patients with BMI 30 to 39 kg/m(2) compared with <30 kg/m(2) and 1.62 (95% CI, 1.13-2.33, P = 0.009) for patients with BMI 40+ kg/m(2) compared with <30 kg/m(2). High IGF1R expression was associated with pT and pN univariately and with pT after adjusting for BMI, pN, age, and histologic subtype. DFS and OS were better with high IGF1R expression, P = 0.020 and P = 0.002, respectively, but DFS was not significant after adjusting for pT, pN, and histologic subtype of the tumor. CONCLUSIONS There is an association between BMI and EC IGF1R expression. Higher IGF1R expression is associated with lower pT and better DFS and OS. IMPACT These findings suggest a link between IGF1R EC expression and obesity, as well as IGF1R expression and survival.

Abstract
The focus of this article is radiation therapy for gynecologic cancers, with emphasis on imaging-based treatment planning and delivery. For the various gynecologic cancers, radiation oncologists rely on essential clinical information to triage treatment options, and various imaging studies are performed for treatment planning and radiation therapy delivery. A practical approach is provided to help radiologists tailor their reports for the needs of their radiation oncology and gynecologic oncology colleagues, to optimize multidisciplinary care for patients with gynecologic cancer. Template radiology reports are proposed to address the specific information needs of oncologists at each phase-before, during, and after treatment. Fueled by the rapid progress in engineering and computer sciences during the past 2 decades, remarkable advances have been made in anatomic, functional, and molecular imaging and in radiation treatment planning and delivery in patients with gynecologic cancer. Radiation therapy has evolved from a nontargeted approach to a precisely targeted, highly conformal treatment modality, to further improve treatment outcomes and reduce morbidity. High-quality imaging has become essential for staging of the disease, delineation of tumor extent for treatment planning and delivery, and monitoring therapy response. Anatomic and functional imaging has also been shown to provide prognostic information that allows clinicians to tailor therapy on the basis of personalized patient information. This field is an area of active research, and future clinical trials are warranted to validate preliminary results in the field.
