5534 Background: We examined disparities in prognosis between patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and serous epithelial ovarian cancer (SOC). Methods: Data from stage I-IV epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients who participated in 12 randomized GOG protocols using platinum-based chemotherapy were reviewed. Proportional hazards models adjusted for age and stratified by protocol, treatment arm, stage, performance status (PS), and race were used to compare progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by cell type (clear cell versus serous). Results: There were 10,803 patients enrolled, 1272 were not eligible: leaving 9,531, of whom 544 (6%) had OCCC, 7,054 (74%) had SOC, and 1,933 (20%) had other; only the OCCC and SOC are considered here. OCCC were significantly younger, more often of Asian race, stage I, good PS, and optimally surgically debulked than SOC patients. Prior to adjustment, OCCC had better PFS and OS due to better prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in PFS or OS for early stage OCCC patients compared to high-grade (HG) SOC patients. For late stage patients, OCCC had poorer PFS and OS compared to SOC, OS HR= 1.66 (1.43, 1.91; p < 0.001). For both optimal, HR = 1.34 (1.10, 1.63; p = 0.003) and suboptimal, HR = 3.18 (2.13, 4.75; p < 0.001) OCCC had a significantly poorer OS than SOC. After adjusting for age and stratified by protocol and treatment arm, stage, performance status, and race, OCCC had a significantly decreased OS, HR= 1.53 (1.33,1.76; p < 0.001). In early stage cases, there was a significantly decreased treatment effect on PFS for consolidative therapy with weekly taxol versus observation in SOC compared to OCCC (p = 0.048). Conclusions: This is one of the largest analyses to date of OCCC treated in a uniform manner . OCCC patients have better PFS and OS compared to SOC; this, is due to their better prognostic factors. There was no observed difference in PFS or OS for early stage OCCC versus HGSOC. In late-stage patients, OCCC was significantly associated with decreased OS which was true for both optimal and suboptimally debulked patients. Finally, treatment effect was influenced by histology.

BACKGROUND: Raise of ovarian cancer mortality is caused by high ovarian cancer recurrence. This is related to many prognostic factors. Kirsten-rat sarcoma virus oncogene (KRAS) is a proto-oncogene that regulates proliferation, growth and cell motility. The controversy of some experts regarding KRAS mutations in the prognosis of ovarian cancer makes it interesting to analyze. AIM: The aim of this study is to clarify whether the clinicopathologic factors and KRAS gene mutation affect the recurrence of patients with ovarian cancer in Indonesia. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study. Clinicopathological factors and prognoses were obtained for 205 patients who were histopathologically diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or ovarian borderline malignant tumor, operated from June 2015 to January 2019 at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital. We gathered 80 patients who were diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer since June 2015 until January 2019. These cases were analyzed after 2-year follow-up or recurrence occurred. Survival rate was determined using the Kaplan–Meier method and examined by Log rank test. All analyses were performed using STATA ver. 12.0, with p < 0.05 considered to be significant. RESULTS: Among KRAS mutation group, the 2-year disease free survival rate (2y-DFS) was 31.56% and 47.58% in non-mutation group with significant differences between mutation and non-mutation (p = 0.02). There was a significant difference between early stage ovarian cancer with non-mutation group and advanced stages ovarian cancer with mutation group (p = 0.00). Among combination staging with mutation group, the 2y-DFS was 85.79% in early stage ovarian cancer with non-mutation, 44.44% in early stage with mutation, 10.65% in advanced stage with non-mutation, and 20.00% in advanced stage with mutation. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that staging and KRAS mutation are the most influence prognostic factors for epithelial ovarian cancer. There was a discrepancy of prognosis by staging and mutation between early stage with non-mutation and advanced stage with KRAS mutation.

PurposeTo analyze the potential prognostic factors of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in women aged under 35 compared to those aged 60–79.MethodsCases were retrospectively obtained from SEER database. Clinical characteristics, such as race, histological type, AJCC stage, laterality of tumors, CA125 results, and surgical strategies, were analyzed in &lt; 35 years group and 60–79 years group. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to evaluate overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS). Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify the predictors for CSS.ResultsSixteen thousand eight hundred forty-seven EOC patients diagnosed in 2004–2015 were identified from SEER database, with 1,015 aged under 35 and 15,833 aged 60–79. In &lt; 35 years group, mucinous (32.2%) was the most common histological type, followed by high-grade serous (26.6%) and endometrioid (18.3%), while in 60–79 years group, high-grade serous (68.3%) represented the leading histological type. Most young women were diagnosed at stage I (57.7%), while most old women were diagnosed at stage (48.1%). Both 5-year OS and 5-year CSS were higher in &lt; 35 years group (5-year OS: 76.00% vs 40.18%, p &lt; 0.001; 5-year CSS: 83.56% vs 55.18%, p &lt; 0.001). The multivariate analysis identified histological type and stage as prognostic factors for CSS in both groups. Endometrioid represented a positive predictor for CSS, while carcinosarcoma and malignant Brenner were related to a worse CSS. (&lt; 35 years group: carcinosarcoma vs endometrioid: HR 5.630, p=0.024; malignant Brenner vs endometrioid: HR 4.005, p &lt; 0.001; 60–79 years group: carcinosarcoma vs endometrioid: HR 3.606, p &lt; 0.001; malignant Brenner vs endometrioid: HR 2.291, p &lt; 0.001). Tumors laterality, CA125 levels, surgery and lymphadenectomy failed to be associated with the CSS in &lt; 35 years group, while found to be independent risk factors in 60–79 years group.ConclusionEOC women aged under 35 had a better survival outcome over EOC women aged 60–79, owing to high proportion of endometrioid and mucinous types in histology, as well as early-stage diagnosis. Identification of histological types and gene profiles should be underscored in young EOC patients.

A systematic review and meta analysis has been undertaken in order to evaluate the effectiveness of adjuvant therapy following surgery for early ovarian cancer. Trials reported since 1990 have been of a higher quality enabling a meta analysis of adjuvant chemotherapy vs adjuvant radiotherapy and a meta analysis of adjuvant chemotherapy vs observation. There was no significant difference between radiotherapy and chemotherapy, though these comprised studies which demonstrated considerable heterogeneity. Chemotherapy did confer significant benefit over observation in terms of both overall and disease free survival. Except for women in whom adequate surgical staging has revealed well differentiated disease confined to one or both ovaries with intact capsule, platinum chemotherapy should be offered to reduce risk of recurrence.
