ObjectivesTo assess the effect of complete surgical staging and adjuvant chemotherapy on survival in stage I, low grade endometrioid ovarian cancer.MethodsThis retrospective study was conducted at two cancer centers from July 2001 to December 2019. Inclusion criteria were all stage I, grade 1 and 2 endometrioid ovarian cancer patients. Patients with mixed histology, concurrent endometrial cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and patients who did not undergo follow-up at our centers were excluded. Clinical, pathologic, recurrence, and follow-up data were collected. Cox proportional hazard model evaluated predictive factors. Recurrence-free survival and overall survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsThere were 131 eligible stage I patients: 83 patients (63.4%) were stage IA, 5 (3.8%) were stage IB, and 43 (32.8%) were stage IC, with 80 patients (61.1%) having grade 1 and 51 (38.9%) patients having grade 2 disease. Complete lymphadenectomy was performed in 34 patients (26.0%), whereas 97 patients (74.0%) had either partial (n=22, 16.8%) or no (n=75, 57.2%) lymphadenectomy. Thirty patients (22.9%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. Median follow-up was 51.5 (95% CI 44.3 to 57.2) months. Five-year recurrence-free survival was 88.0% (95% CI 81.6% to 94.9%) and 5 year overall survival was 95.1% (95% CI 90.5% to 99.9%). In a multivariable analysis, only grade 2 histology had a significantly higher recurrence rate (HR 3.42, 95% CI 1.03 to 11.38; p=0.04). There was no difference in recurrence-free survival (p=0.57) and overall survival (p=0.30) in patients with complete lymphadenectomy. In stage IA/IB, grade 2 there was no benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.19), and in stage IA/IB, low grade without complete surgical staging there was no benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.16). Twelve patients (9.2%) had recurrence; 3 (25%) were salvageable at recurrence and are alive with no disease.ConclusionsPatients with stage I, low grade endometrioid ovarian cancer have a favorable prognosis, and adjuvant chemotherapy and staging lymphadenectomy did not improve survival.

BackgroundIt is controversial whether patients with stage I ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) benefit from postoperative chemotherapy. This study was designed to evaluate the postoperative outcomes associated with the inclusion or exclusion of adjuvant therapy in these patients.MethodsA total of 185 patients who were treated for stage I CCC between 1991 and 2007 were retrospectively evaluated. All of the patients had received comprehensive surgical staging, and their condition had been diagnosed by a central pathological review system. Only one patient with stage IB was excluded from this study.ResultsMedian follow-up time was 62 months (range 7–191 months). Median age was 52 years (30–75 years). There were 41, 93, and 50 patients in stage IA, intraoperative capsule ruptured IC (rupture-IC), and all other-IC groups, respectively. The 5-year recurrence-free survival rates for the substage were 97.6%, 87.8%, and 70.4% (P < 0.001), respectively. Among 134 patients consisting of those in the stage IA and rupture-IC groups, 91 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) and 43 patients did not (non-AC). There was no significant survival difference in each substage group between the non-AC and AC groups in 5-year recurrence-free survival rate (stage IA, 100% vs 93.8%; rupture-IC, 94.1% vs 86.6%). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that there was no significant prognostic factor for both recurrence and survival among the IA and rupture-IC groups. Postoperative therapy, regimen, and chemotherapy cycles were not significantly affected.ConclusionsThis study indicates that adjuvant chemotherapy does not contribute to the improving prognosis of stage IA ovarian CCC. Whereas the histological type is CCC, the routine adjuvant chemotherapy after comprehensive surgical staging may be unnecessary for patients with at least stage IA.

ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to report on the oncologic outcome of the disease spread to celiac lymph nodes (CLNs) in advanced-stage ovarian cancer patients.MethodsAll patients who had CLN resection as part of their cytoreductive surgery for epithelial ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer were identified. Patient demographic data with particular emphasis on operative records to detail the extent and distribution of the disease spread, lymphadenectomy procedures, pathologic data, and follow-up data were included.ResultsThe median follow-up was 26.3 months. The median overall survival values in the group with positive CLNs and in the group with negative CLNs were 26.9 months and 40.04 months, respectively. The median progression-free survival values in the group with metastatic CLNs and in the group with negative CLNs were 8.8 months and 20.24 months, respectively (P = 0.053). Positive CLNs were associated with progression during or within 6 months after the completion of chemotherapy (P = 0.0044). Tumor burden and extensive disease distribution were significantly associated with poor progression-free survival, short-term progression, and overall survival. In multivariate analysis, only the CLN status was independently associated with short-term progression.ConclusionsDisease in the CLN is a marker of disease severity, which is associated to a high-risk group of patients with presumed adverse tumor biology, increased risk of lymph node progression, and worst oncologic outcome.

Abstract Objectives The value of using PET/CT for staging of stage I–II NPC remains unclear. Hence, we aimed to investigate the survival benefit of PET/CT for staging of early-stage NPC before radical therapy. Methods A total of 1003 patients with pathologically confirmed NPC of stages I–II were consecutively enrolled. Among them, 218 patients underwent both PET/CT and conventional workup ([CWU], head-and-neck MRI, chest radiograph, liver ultrasound, bone scintigraphy) before treatment. The remaining 785 patients only underwent CWU. The standard of truth (SOT) for lymph node metastasis was defined by the change of size according to follow-up MRI. The diagnostic efficacies were compared in 218 patients who underwent both PET/CT and CWU. After covariate adjustment using propensity scoring, a cohort of 872 patients (218 with and 654 without pre-treatment PET/CT) was included. The primary outcome was overall survival based on intention to treat. Results Retropharyngeal lymph nodes were metastatic based on follow-up MRI in 79 cases. PET/CT was significantly less sensitive than MRI in detecting retropharyngeal lymph node lesions (72.2% [62.3–82.1] vs. 91.1% [84.8–97.4], p = 0.004). Neck lymph nodes were metastatic in 89 cases and PET/CT was more sensitive than MRI (96.6% [92.8–100.0] vs. 76.4% [67.6–85.2], p < 0.001). In the survival analyses, there was no association between pre-treatment PET/CT use and improved overall survival, progression-free survival, local relapse-free survival, regional relapse-free survival, and distant metastasis-free survival. Conclusions This study showed PET/CT is of little value for staging of stage I–II NPC patients at initial imaging. Key Points • PET/CT was more sensitive than MRI in detecting neck lymph node lesions whereas it was significantly less sensitive than MRI in detecting retropharyngeal lymph node lesions. • No association existed between pre-treatment PET/CT use and improved survival in stage I–II NPC patients.

IntroductionHyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) improved investigator-assessed recurrence-free survival and overall survival in patients with stage III ovarian cancer in the phase III OVHIPEC-1 trial. We analyzed whether an open-label design affected the results of the trial by central blinded assessment of recurrence-free survival, and tested whether HIPEC specifically targets the peritoneal surface by analyzing the site of disease recurrence.MethodsOVHIPEC-1 was an open-label, multicenter, phase III trial that randomized 245 patients after three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to interval cytoreduction with or without HIPEC using cisplatin (100 mg/m2). Patients received three additional cycles of chemotherapy after surgery. Computed tomography (CT) scans and serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125) measurements were performed during chemotherapy, and during follow-up. Two expert radiologists reviewed all available CT scans. They were blinded for treatment allocation and clinical outcome. Central revision included Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 measurements and peritoneal cancer index scorings at baseline, during treatment, and during follow-up. Time to centrally-revised recurrence was compared between study arms using Cox proportional hazard models. Subdistribution models compared time to peritoneal recurrence between arms, accounting for competing risks.ResultsCT scans for central revision were available for 231 patients (94%) during neoadjuvant treatment and 212 patients (87%) during follow-up. Centrally-assessed median recurrence-free survival was 9.9 months in the surgery group and 13.2 months in the surgery+HIPEC group (HR for disease recurrence or death 0.72, 95% CI 0.55 to 0.94; p=0.015). The improved recurrence-free survival and overall survival associated with HIPEC were irrespective of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and baseline peritoneal cancer index. Cumulative incidence of peritoneal recurrence was lower after surgery+HIPEC, but there was no difference in extraperitoneal recurrences.ConclusionCentrally-assessed recurrence-free survival analysis confirms the benefit of adding HIPEC to interval cytoreductive surgery in patients with stage III ovarian cancer, with fewer peritoneal recurrences. These results rule out radiological bias caused by the open-label nature of the study.

We have previously reported the results of a randomized trial that demonstrated the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with high-grade extremity sarcomas compared with no chemotherapy. This regimen included doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and methotrexate. This report updates and extends our experience. The median follow-up of this trial is now 7.1 years and reveals a 5-year disease-free survival of 75% and 54% for chemotherapy and no chemotherapy groups, respectively (two-sided P [P2] = .037). The 5-year overall survival for patients in this trial was 83% and 60% for the chemotherapy and no chemotherapy groups, respectively, with a trend towards improved survival in the chemotherapy arm (P2 = .124). Because of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy we performed a subsequent randomized trial comparing this high-dose regimen to reduced cumulative doses of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide without methotrexate. Eighty-eight patients were entered into this trial which has a median follow-up of 4.4 years. The 5-year disease-free and overall survival for patients treated with the reduced doses of chemotherapy was 72% and 75%, respectively, and was not significantly different from the high-dose regimen. No patients developed congestive heart failure on this study. We conclude that adjuvant chemotherapy improves disease-free survival in patients with extremity soft-tissue sarcomas. The overall survival advantage in patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy in our initial randomized high-dose chemotherapy trial has diminished though it continues to favor the chemotherapy group. A reduced-dose chemotherapy regimen was found to be comparable to the high-dose regimen.

PURPOSE: We conducted a phase II pilot study of dose-intensive adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin followed sequentially by high-dose cyclophosphamide to determine the safety and feasibility of this dose-dense treatment and to estimate the disease-free and overall survival in breast cancer patients with four or more involved axillary lymph nodes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seventy-three patients received adjuvant treatment with four cycles of doxorubicin 75 mg/m2 as an intravenous bolus every 21 days, followed by three cycles of cyclophosphamide 3,000 mg/m2 every 14 days with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support. RESULTS: Seventy-one patients were assessable, and all but two completed all planned chemotherapy. There was no treatment-related mortality. The most common toxicity was neutropenic fever, which occurred in 39% of patients. Median disease-free survival is 66 months (95% confidence interval, 34 to 98 months), and median overall survival has not yet been reached. At 5 years of follow-up, the disease-free survival is 51.7%, and overall survival is 60.0%. There is no long-term treatment-related toxicity, and no cases of acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome have been observed. CONCLUSION: Our pilot study of doxorubicin followed by cyclophosphamide demonstrates the safety and feasibility of the sequential dose-dense plan. Long-term follow-up, although noncomparative, is promising. However, this regimen is associated with a higher incidence of toxicity (and also higher costs) than the standard dose and schedule of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, and therefore it should not be used as conventional therapy in the absence of demonstrated improvement of outcome. Randomized trials testing the dose-dense approach have been completed but not yet reported. Because the sequential plan can decrease overlapping toxicities, it is an appropriate platform for the addition of newer active agents, such as taxanes or monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract The Durie-Salmon (DS) stage has been the gold standard for stratification of MM patients. However, the system does not contain beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) widely recognized as the single most powerful prognostic parameter. Recently, The Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) staging system (Jacobson JL, et al. Br J Haematol122:441–50, 2003) and the International Staging System (ISS) (Greipp PR, et al. J Clin Oncol23:3412–20, 2005) utilizing B2M have been proposed. We aimed to evaluate whether the stage assessed at the time of ASCT by DS, SWOG, or ISS predict outcome following ASCT in patients with MM. Between November 1996 and December 2004, a total of 141 patients with MM who were treated with ASCT at 5 institutions in Korea were available for this analysis. The distribution of patients’ stage at ASCT by 3 staging systems was as Table 1. With a median follow-up of 20 months from ASCT, the median event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 16 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 11–21) and 56 months (95% CI, 38–74), respectively. The median survival of each stage group according to 3 staging systems at ASCT was as Table 2. Differences in EFS among the stage groups were not statistically significant. However, OS after ASCT was dependent on the SWOG stage at the time of ASCT and also significantly longer in patients with ISS stage I than others (NR vs. 39 months, P =.001). In this study, OS following ASCT was influenced by the stage according to SWOG or ISS, but not DS.

5535 Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy outcomes of concurrent cetuximab plus IMRT and cisplatin in Chinese patients with LA NPC. Methods: Patients with primary stage III-IVb (UICC/AJCC 2002 staging system) and non-keratinizing NPC were enrolled in this prospective, multicentric, phase II study. Cisplatin (80mg/m2,q3week) and cetuximab (400mg/m2 one w before radiation, and then 250mg/m2/w) were given concurrently. The prescription dose of IMRT to GTVnx (primary tumor in nasopharynx) was 66 Gy - 75.9 Gy, GTVnd (positive cervical lymph nodes) was 60 Gy - 70Gy, The response rate was evaluated according to RECIST 1.0 criteria, and adverse events (AEs) were graded according to NCI CTCAE V3.0 criteria. Results: From July 2008 to April 2009, 100 patients were enrolled (74 male), with median age of 43 years. The proportion of stage III, IVa and IVb patients were 71%, 22% and 7% respectively. 99% of enrolled patients completed the planned treatment. AEs were within the expected range and manageable. No toxic death occurred during the treatment. Acneiform skin eruptions, mucositis, in-field dermatitis, xerostomia and neucopenia were the most common seen AEs, with 64% grade 2/3 acneiform eruptions, 26% grade 2/3 in-field dermatitis, 90% ≥ grade 2 mucositis (2 cases of grade 4 mucositis with spontaneous bleeding), 40% ≥ grade 2 xerostomia and 8% grade 2/3 neucopenia. With a median follow-up time of 23.5 months, the 2 year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), local recurrence-free survival, regional (cervical lymph node) recurrence free survival and distant metastasis-free survival rates for the ITT population were 91%, 89%, 90%, 90% and 89%, respectively Multivariate analysis showed that N stage was the only prognostic factor for OS (p=0.0392, HR=2.946) and DFS (p=0.0062, HR=4.246) in these patients. Conclusions: Cetuximab combined with IMRT plus concurrent cisplatin in patients with LA NPC shows satisfactory 2-year locoregional control rate and 2-year overall survival. The combination seems to be well tolerated with a manageable side-effect profile.

e21110 Background: Cancer inflammation is associated with impaired survival in a range of cancers. We reviewed blood and intratumoral inflammatory markers in NSCLC. Methods: At the Departmentof Thoracic Surgery, Skejby Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark, consecutive patients with resected NSCLC from 2000 to 2008 were reviewed, and 906 patients with complete clinical data were identified. A subset of 341 consecutive patients, resected between 2003 and 2006, also had intratumoral CD66b+ neutrophils and CD163+ macrophages measured by immunohistochemistry and evaluated by stereological assessment. Results: A total of 526, 197, and 183 patients had stage I, II, and III, respectively. Multivariate analysis stratified for tumor stage revealed elevated blood leukocytes above upper limit of normal as a significant prognostic factor for recurrence-free survival (RFS)(hazard ratio [HR] 1.9; 95% CI 1.4-2.6; p<0.0001), cancer specific survival (CSS)(HR 1.9; 95% CI 1.4-2.7; p<0.0001), and overall survival (OS)(HR 1.5; 95% CI 1.1-1.9; p<0.006) in stage I NSCLC, but not in stage II and III. No prognostic impact of intratumoral neutrophils or macrophages was seen on CSS, RFS, or OS, neither in the entire cohort, nor limited to stage I patients with elevated blood leukocytes or with normal counts. Controlling intratumoral neutrophils and macrophages for localization restricted to tumor tissue, stromal tissue, or blood vessels, respectively, were also with no statistically significant difference. Conclusions: Blood leukocytosis is an independent prognostic factor for short recurrence free survival, cancer specific survival, and overall survival in stage I NSCLC, but not in stage II and III. However, intratumoral neutrophils or macrophages did not impact prognosis. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of cancer inflammation in NSCLC.
