ObjectiveThe revised version of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system (2014) for epithelial ovarian cancer includes a number of changes. One of these is the division of stage IV into 2 subgroups. Data on the prognostic and predictive significance of this classification are scarce. The effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) versus primary debulking surgery (PDS) in relation to the subclassification of FIGO stage IV is also unknown.MethodsWe used data of the EORTC 55971 trial, in which 670 patients with previous stage IIIC or IV epithelial ovarian cancer were randomly assigned to PDS or NACT; 160 patients had previous stage IV. Information on previous FIGO staging and presence of pleural effusion with positive cytology were used to classify tumors as either stage IVA or IVB. We tested the association between stage IVA/IVB and survival to evaluate the prognostic value and interactions between stage, treatment, and survival to evaluate the predictive performance.ResultsAmong the 160 participants with previous stage IV disease, 103 (64%) were categorized as stage IVA and 57 (36%) as stage IVB tumors. Median overall survival was 24 months in FIGO stage IVA and 31 months in stage IVB patients (P = 0.044). Stage IVB patients treated with NACT had 9 months longer median overall survival compared with IVB patients undergoing PDS (P = 0.025), whereas in IVA patients, no significant difference was observed (24 vs 26 months, P = 0.48).ConclusionsThe reclassification of FIGO stage IV into stage IVA or IVB was not prognostic as expected. Compared with stage IVA patients, stage IVB patients have a better overall survival and may benefit more from NACT.

Abstract Background Increasing evidence indicates that site-distant metastases are associated with survival outcomes in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic values of site-distant metastases and clinical factors and develop a prognostic nomogram score individually predicting overall survival (OS, equivalent to all-cause mortality) and cancer specific survival (CSS, equivalent to cancer-specific mortality) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods We retrospectively collected data on patients with epithelial ovarian cancer from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 1975 and 2016. Multivariate Cox regression was performed to identify survival trajectories. A nomogram score was used to predict long-term survival probability. A comparison between the nomogram and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO 2018) staging system was conducted using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (tROC) curve. Results A total of 131,050 patients were included, 18.2, 7.8 and 66.1% had localized, regional and distant metastases, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified several prognostic factors for OS including race, grade, histology, FIGO staging, surgery, bone metastasis, liver metastasis, lung metastasis, and lymphatic metastasis. Prognostic factors for CSS included grade, site, FIGO staging, surgery, bone metastasis, brain metastasis, lung metastasis, lymphatic metastasis, and insurance. Following bootstrap correction, the C-index of OS and CSS was 0.791 and 0.752, respectively. These nomograms showed superior performance compared with the FIGO 2018 staging criteria (P < 0.05). Conclusions A novel prognostic nomogram score provides better prognostic performance than the FIGO 2018 staging system. These nomograms contribute to directing clinical treatment and prognosis assessment in patients harboring site-distant metastases.

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the survival of patients with node-positive epithelial ovarian cancer according to the 2014 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system.Materials and MethodsWe performed a retrospective chart review. Data from all consecutive patients with node-positive epithelial ovarian cancer (stages IIIC and IV) who underwent cytoreductive surgery at the Mayo Clinic from 1996 to 2000 were reassessed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the new FIGO stages. Multivariate Cox regression was performed, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves constructed.ResultsThe distribution of the restaged patients was as follows: IIIA1, 23 patients (IIIA1i, 9 patients; and IIIA1ii, 14 patients); IIIA2, 3 patients; IIIB, 4; IIIC, 67 patients; IVA, 4 patients; and IVB, 15 patients. In the univariate analysis, the relative risk for positive nodes greater than 10 mm on the longer axis was 2.57 and 3.00 for patients with microscopic peritoneal disease, compared with patients with microscopic positive nodes. However, the difference was not statistically significant. Moreover, the univariate analyses revealed statistically significant differences for 2014 FIGO stages (IIIA, IIIB, IIIC, and IVA-B), anatomical sites of peritoneal metastases, and disease staged at IIIC because of the presence of omental metastases. Multivariate analysis showed that survival was higher in patients restaged to IIIA-B than in those restaged to IIIC and IV (hazard ratios, 2.75 and 3.16, respectively; P = 0.002). The hazard ratio for patients with abdominal peritoneal metastases was 2.76 compared with patients with pelvic peritoneal metastases (P = 0.001).ConclusionsThe current 2014 FIGO staging system for ovarian cancer successfully correlates survival, anatomical location of peritoneal metastases, and extra-abdominal lymph node metastases.

Purpose To identify factors predictive of poor prognosis in a similarly treated population of women with stage IV epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Patients and Methods A retrospective review of 360 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IV EOC who underwent primary surgery followed by six cycles of intravenous platinum/paclitaxel was performed. A proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of potential prognostic factors with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results The median PFS and OS for this group of stage IV ovarian cancer patients was 12 and 29 months, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that histology, malignant pleural effusion, intraparenchymal liver metastasis, and residual tumor size were significant prognostic variables. Whereas patients with microscopic residual disease had the best outcome, patients with 0.1 to 1.0 cm residual disease and patients with 1.1 to 5.0 cm residual disease had similar PFS and OS. Patients with a residual size more than 5 cm had a diminished PFS and OS when compared with all other groups. Median OS for microscopic, 0.1 to 5.0 cm, and more than 5.0 cm residual disease was 64, 30, and 19 months, respectively. Conclusion Patients with more than 5 cm residual disease have the shortest PFS and OS, whereas patients with 0.1 to 1.0 and 1.1 to 5.0 cm have similar outcome. These findings suggest that ultraradical cytoreductive procedures might be targeted for selected patients in whom microscopic residual disease is achievable. Patients with less than 5.0 cm of disease initially and significant disease and/or comorbidities precluding microscopic cytoreduction may be considered for alternative therapeutic options other than primary cytoreduction.

5523 Background: Nomograms have been shown to be superior to traditional staging systems for predicting an individual's probability of long-term survival. Our objective was to develop a nomogram based on established prognostic factors to predict the probability of 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) after primary surgery for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and to compare its predictive accuracy with the currently used FIGO staging system. Methods: We identified all pts with EOC who had their primary staging/cytoreductive surgery at our institution from January 1996-December 2004. DSS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. We analyzed 28 clinical and pathologic factors for prognostic significance. Significant factors on univariate analysis were then included in the Cox proportional hazards regression model, which identified the factors to be used to construct the nomogram. The concordance index (CI) was used as an accuracy measure, with bootstrapping to correct for optimistic bias. Calibration plots were constructed. Results: There were 478 evaluable pts on the study. The median age was 58 years (range 25–96). The primary surgeon in all cases was an attending gynecologic oncologist. All patients received platinum-based systemic chemotherapy postop. DSS at 5 years was 52%. The most predictive nomogram was constructed using the following 7 predictor variables: age, ASA status, family history suggestive of hereditary breast/ovarian cancer syndrome, preoperative serum albumin level, FIGO stage, tumor histology, and residual disease status after primary surgery. This nomogram was internally validated using bootstrapping and shown to have excellent calibration with a bootstrap-corrected CI of 0.721. The CI for FIGO staging alone was significantly less at 0.62 (p = 0.002). Conclusions: We developed a nomogram to predict 5-year DSS after primary surgery for EOC. The nomogram uses 7 variables that are readily accessible, assigns a point value to each variable, and then predicts the probability of 5-year survival based on the total point value for an individual patient. This tool is more accurate than FIGO staging and should be useful for patient counseling, clinical trial eligibility determination, postop management, and follow-up.
