BackgroundThe aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the accuracy of the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) between laparoscopy and laparotomy and to evaluate the reproducibility of this index between 2 surgeons (junior vs senior) in advanced-stage ovarian cancer (ASOC). In ASOC, the quality of cytoreductive surgery, which is the main prognostic factor, is correlated with the extent of the disease and thus with the PCI. The reliability of this scoring index between different surgeons during laparoscopy and laparotomy has not been investigated in this disease.MethodsBetween April 2010 and October 2011, for each of the 29 patients undergoing complete cytoreductive surgery, 1 senior surgeon and 1 junior surgeon quantified the PCI score at 3 time points on the same day: during laparoscopy and during laparotomy, at the beginning and at the end. A concordance analysis was conducted with Bland and Altman’s method and estimated by intraclass correlation coefficients.ResultsThere was high concordance of the PCI score between the junior and senior surgeons during the laparoscopic and laparotomic procedures: the mean differences were not significantly different from 0 (P< 0.05) and 95% limits of agreement were ±3.5 and ±3.0, respectively. Laparoscopy underestimated the PCI score by approximately 2 points compared to the beginning of the laparotomy: the mean biases were −2.0 (95% confidence interval, −2.8 to −1.2) for the senior surgeon and −2.2 (95% confidence interval, −3.1 to 1.3) for the junior surgeon.ConclusionsThe PCI is reproducible and reliable for evaluating peritoneal spread in ASOC.

Background. The mainstay of treatment for advanced ovarian cancer is debulking surgery followed by chemotherapy that includes carboplatin and paclitaxel, but the prognosis is poor. This study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS+HIPEC) as first-line surgical treatment in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). Methods. FIGO stage III/IV AOC patients underwent CRS+HIPEC as first-line surgical treatment at our center from December 2007 to January 2020. The primary endpoint was survival, and the secondary endpoint was safety. Results. Among 100 patients, the median Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score was 80 (50-100), median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 19 (1-39), median completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score was 1 (0-3), number of organ regions removed was 4 (3-9), number of peritoneal regions removed was 4 (1-9), and number of anastomoses was 1 (0-4). The median follow-up was 36.8 months; 75 (75.0%) patients were still alive, and 25 (25.0%) had died. The median overall survival (mOS) was 87.6 (95% CI: 72.1-103.0) months, and the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year survival rates were 94.1%, 77.2%, 68.2%, 64.2%, and 64.2%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that better mOS correlated with an age ≤, KPS ≥ 80 , ascites ≤ 1000  ml, PCI < 19 , and CC score 0-1. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that CC was an independent factor for OS; patients who underwent CRS with a CC score 0-1 had a mPFS of 67.8 (95% CI: 48.3-87.4) months. The perioperative serious adverse event and morbidity rates were 4.0% and 2.0%, respectively. Conclusions. CRS+HIPEC improves survival for AOC patients with acceptable safety at experienced high-volume centers. Stringent patient selection and complete CRS are key factors for better survival.

Abstract Background: We investigated the incidence of reactive thrombocytosis after maximal cytoreductive surgery in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer and its role on survival. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian/fallopian cancer or peritoneal cancer from January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2017. In addition to known clinical prognostic factors, we analyzed the correlation serum platelet counts and prognosis at various time points including before surgery, during peri-operative period, and on each cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy.Results: 474 patients were eligible for the analysis. Median age was 54 years (18-88). 401 patients (84.6%) were FIGO stage III and 405 patients (85.4%) were serous adenocarcinoma. 79 patients (22.6%) had splenectomy and optimal cytoreduction (residual < 1 cm) was achieved at 326 patients (68.8%). A week after surgery, thrombocytosis was observed in 229 patients (48.3%) patients in the entire cohort. Especially, higher platelet counts were observed in patients with splenectomy compared with patients without splenectomy at various time points after surgery. Subgroup of patients who had persistent thrombocytosis during adjuvant chemotherapy showed poor survivals. In particular, thrombocytosis on 5th cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy showed most significant impact on overall survival (HR; 1.871, 95%CI; 1.034-3.386, p = 0.038) among various time points in multivariate analysis. In a logistic regression model, splenectomy (p < 0.001) significantly attributed to thrombocytosis on 5th cycle. Conclusion: Reactive thrombocytosis after primary cytoreductive surgery is associated with poor survival in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, particularly when thrombocytosis was observed during adjuvant chemotherapy.
