e17537 Background: The management of ovarian cancer is based on a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. The aim of surgery is to achieve zero residual tumour at the end of the procedure. In advanced stage ovarian cancer, two therapeutic approaches are possible: primary debulking surgery, or primary chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery. The primary objective of this study was to describe overall survival (OS) in FIGO stage III and IV ovarian cancers according to the therapeutic sequence (i.e. primary surgery or interval surgery). Methods: We performed a retrospective, observational study using data from the gynecological cancer registry of the Cote d’Or, for patients diagnosed with FIGO stage III or IV ovarian cancer between 1998 and 2015. We recorded FIGO stage, histological type, treatment and completeness of cytoreduction. Results: In total, 460 patients were included. OS at 5 years was 47% in patients with primary surgery, versus 38% in patients with interval surgery (p = 0.06). Five-year OS was 45% in patients with complete cytoreduction, versus 30% in those with incomplete cytoreduction (p < 0.001). The rate of complete cytoreduction was 43% in patients with primary surgery, versus 55% in those with interval surgery. Conclusions: OS appears to be slightly better in patients receiving primary surgery, and when cytoreduction is complete. Every effort should be made during surgery to achieve complete cytoreduction, by an experienced team. Primary surgery should be preferred in these patients.

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy and is the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death among women. Approach to FIGO stage III epithelial ovarian cancer remains challengeable. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of interval debulking surgery (IDS) vs. primary debulking surgery (PDS) for FIGO stage III epithelial ovarian cancer. Materials and Methods: During a period of six years (January 2014 to December 2019), we analyzed the patients for eligibility criteria, which were: (1) FIGO stage III epithelial ovarian cancer. (2) The age of 18 years or more (3) Patients underwent either PDS or IDS and received chemotherapy at South Egypt Cancer Institute. We divided them into two groups: (1) Those received three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then underwent IDS plus three additional cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy and (2) Those who have PDS followed by six cycles of chemotherapy. Results: This study includes 380 eligible patients. The first group included 226 patients (59.47%) underwent PDS then 6 cycles of chemotherapy, while the group of IDS included 154 patients (40.53%). The treatment modality was not significant for overall survival (OS); however disease-free survival (DFS) was significantly reduced after IDS when compared to PDS (median DFS: 33 months; 95% CI 30.23-35.77 vs. 45 months; 95% CI 41.25-48.75 respectively; p= .000). Moreover, in subgroup analysis, OS and DFS were significantly dropped after IDS in elderly patients, patients with bad performance status, sub-optimal cytoreduction as well as high grade and undifferentiated tumors when compared to those who underwent PDS. Conclusion: Although treatment modality may not impact overall survival (OS), however, PDS results in a better disease-free survival than IDS. Moreover, IDS results in a significant drop in OS and DFS in special patients subgroups when compared to PDS. Therefore patients selection should be considered.

e17037 Background: Two important developments in ovarian cancer have occurred over the last decade: i) EORTC 55971 and CHORUS trials reporting neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a management strategy in advanced disease and ii) recognition of fallopian tubes as the origin of many ovarian cancers. This study examines how these have impacted on care and registry data. Methods: The National Cancer Registry and Analysis Service (NCRAS) database identified women registered with ovarian, peritoneal and fallopian tube carcinomas during 2004-15. Treatment was defined as surgical intervention or chemotherapy starting within 6 months of diagnosis. Women were grouped into: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, Primary surgery, Chemotherapy only, Surgery only or No record of therapy. Groups were analysed by year, FIGO stage and age. Results: 66,768 women were registered with an invasive carcinoma. Disease stage was not recorded in 44%. Of the remaining (n = 36,779) 32.1% stage I/II and 67.9% had stage III/IV disease. Of the 66,768 cases, 12.5 % had Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 28.7% Primary surgery, 15.2% Surgery only, 19.7% Chemotherapy only and 23.2% No recorded therapy. Chemotherapy only was commonest at 36% in Stage IV, whereas primary surgery was in Stage III disease at 38%. No therapy was recorded in 11% and 25% of stage III and IV disease respectively. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy use trebled with time: comparing the rate in 2004-6 to 2013-15, there was an increase from7.7% to 21.7% ( p< 0.001). Those diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer were significantly more likely ( p< 0.001) to have neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared to other groups. Cancers of the primary peritoneal and fallopian tube make up an increasing proportion of cases from 6% in 2004 to 13% in 2015. Conclusions: This is the largest reported study assessing trends in primary therapy and cases of ovarian, peritoneal and fallopian tube cancers during a time of novel developments. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is becoming embedded in clinical practice. The reporting and analysis of ovarian cancer should include peritoneal and fallopian tube for consistent categorisation.

IntroductionThe surgical approach for interval debulking surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been extrapolated from primary tumor reductive surgery for high-grade ovarian cancer. The study objective was to compare pathologic distribution of malignancy at interval debulking surgery versus primary tumor reductive surgery.MethodsPatients with a diagnosis of high-grade serous or mixed, non-mucinous, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy or primary tumor reductive surgery and had at least 6 months of follow-up were identified through tumor registry at a single institution from January 1995 to April 2016. Pathologic involvement of organs was categorized as macroscopic, microscopic, or no tumor. Statistical analyses included Mann-Whitney and Fisher’s exact tests.ResultsOf 918 patients identified, 366 (39.9%) patients underwent interval debulking surgery and 552 (60.1%) patients underwent primary tumor reductive surgery. Median age was 62.3 years (range 25.3–92.5). The majority of patients in the interval debulking surgery group were unstaged (261, 71.5%). In the patients who had a primary tumor reductive surgery, 406 (74.6%) had stage III disease. In both groups, the majority of patients had serous histology: 325 (90%) and 435 (78.8%) in the interval debulking and primary tumor reductive surgery groups, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between disease distribution on the uterus between the groups; 31.4% of the patients undergoing interval debulking surgery had no evidence of uterine disease compared with 22.1% of primary tumor reductive surgery specimens (p<0.001). In the adnexa, there was macroscopic disease present in 253 (69.2%) and 482 (87.4%) of cases in the interval vs primary surgery groups, respectively (p<0.001). Within the omentum, no tumor was present in the omentum in 52 (14.2%) in the interval surgery group versus 91 (16.5%) in the primary surgery group (p<0.001). In the interval surgery group, there was no tumor involving the small and large bowel in 49 (13.4%) and 28 (7.7%) pathologic specimens, respectively. This was statistically significantly different from the small and large bowel in the primary surgery group, of which there was no tumor in 20 (3.6%, p<0.001) and 16 (2.9%, p<0.001) of cases, respectively.ConclusionIn patients undergoing interval debulking surgery, there was less macroscopic involvement of tumor in the uterus, adnexa and bowel compared with patients undergoing primary cytoreductive surgery.

5514 Background: In the Phase III PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 trial (NCT02477644), the addition of maintenance olaparib to bev in pts with newly diagnosed advanced high-grade ovarian cancer (HGOC) resulted in a significant PFS benefit, particularly in HRD-positive (HRD+) pts (hazard ratio [HR] 0.33; 95% CI 0.25–0.45) (Ray-Coquard et al. NEJM 2019). We explored efficacy in HRD+ pts by disease stage. Methods: Pts with newly diagnosed, FIGO stage III–IV HGOC in response after platinum-based chemotherapy + bev received bev (15 mg/kg q3w for 15 months [mo]) + either olaparib (300 mg bid for 24 mo) or placebo (pbo). This exploratory analysis evaluated PFS (data cut-off [DCO]: Mar 22 2019) and PFS2 (DCO: Mar 22 2020) in HRD+ pts (tumor BRCA1/ BRCA2 mutation [tBRCAm] or genomic instability score [Myriad myChoice HRD Plus] ≥42) by FIGO stage. Results: 387/806 randomized pts (48%) were HRD+; 272/387 (70%) had stage III disease and 115/387 (30%) had stage IV disease. 153 (56%) HRD+ stage III pts and 61 (53%) HRD+ stage IV pts had a tBRCAm. Among HRD+ stage III pts, 172 (63%) had upfront surgery (51/172 [30%] had residual disease) and 90 (33%) had interval surgery (19/90 [21%] had residual disease); 52 (45%) HRD+ stage IV pts had upfront surgery (34/52 [65%] had residual disease) and 55 (48%) had interval surgery (18/55 [33%] had residual disease). Median follow-up for PFS and PFS2 was respectively 24.8 and 37.2 mo in HRD+ stage III pts and 24.0 and 37.0 mo in HRD+ stage IV pts. Median PFS, PFS2 and HRs are in the Table. Among HRD+ stage III pts, 36-mo PFS2 (olaparib + bev vs pbo + bev) was 74% vs 60%; among HRD+ stage IV pts, 53% vs 30%. Among HRD+ stage III pts with no residual disease after upfront surgery, HR (95% CI) for PFS was 0.15 (0.07–0.30) and for PFS2 was 0.22 (0.06–0.67). Among HRD+ stage III pts with residual disease after upfront surgery or who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or HRD+ stage IV pts, HR (95% CI) for PFS was 0.38 (0.27–0.53) and PFS2 was 0.68 (0.46–1.03). Conclusions: In the PAOLA-1 study, maintenance olaparib + bev provided a PFS and PFS2 benefit over pbo + bev in HRD+ pts, irrespective of FIGO stage and residual disease after upfront surgery.

16044 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment of FIGO stage IIIC patients who were primarily treated completely or partially at the Norwegian Radium Hospital (NRH) during a 15-year period in order to discover possibilities for improvement of prognosis of advanced ovarian cancer. Methods: A retrospective study based on record information from all patients with epithelial ovarian cancer stage IIIC treated at NRH 1985 - 2000, in total 776 patients. Results: We found age, amount of residual tumour after surgery for primary treatment and type of chemotherapy to be the most significant prognostic factors for overall survival. During the last 5-year period primary surgery was increasingly centralised, surgery was improved with lymph node staging and paclitaxel was used. Survival was significantly best during the last 5-year period and after macroscopically radical surgery. Also progression-free survival was best with no macroscopic tumour left. Conclusions: Improved survival during the last 5-year period is partly attributed to improved surgery, partly to the addition of paclitaxel. We believe that a further centralisation of primary surgery for advanced ovarian cancer can contribute towards a better prognosis. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

The aim is to evaluate disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with fallopian tube carcinoma (FTCA) treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. An Institutional Review Board approved retrospective review identified 38 patients with FTCA that received adjuvant chemotherapy following primary surgery from 1975 to 2001. Median age was 56 (range 36–78) and 95% of patients were white. Twenty patients (53%) had FIGO stage III/IV FTCA. Seventeen patients underwent second-look laparotomy, 8 (47%) patients were found to have disease. Adjuvant chemotherapeutic regimens consisted of melphalan in 11 patients, platinum-based chemotherapy without paclitaxel in 17 patients, and the combination of paclitaxel and platinum in 10 patients. Although DFS was similar for the three chemotherapy cohorts (P= 0.19), patients receiving paclitaxel had superior OS compared to patients receiving either melphalan (P= 0.02) or platinum without paclitaxel (P= 0.04). Of the twenty patients with stage III/IV disease, 55% of patients had optimal cytoreduction performed at their initial surgery. Both median DFS, 68 versus 50 months (P= 0.14) and OS, 73 versus 50 months (P= 0.12) were greater in patients with optimal cytoreduction. When compared to historical chemotherapeutic regimens, the combination of paclitaxel and platinum has superior efficacy for the management of patients with FTCA. Although not statistically significant in our study, optimal cytoreduction likely improves both DFS and OS and should be the goal of all patients surgically managed for FTCA.

In a single-institution retrospective cohort study, 230 patients were treated for stage III primary ovarian cancer and 175 became eligible for second-look operations by virtue of a complete clinical response after primary surgical cytoreduction and platinum-based combination chemotherapy. Of these, 109 underwent a second-look operation. Optimal primary cytoreduction was defined as residual disease ≤1 cm. Median follow-up was 68.3 months. Five-year survival for all the 230 stage III ovarian cancers was 43.4%. Among all eligible patients (n = 175), there was no survival difference (P = 0.67) in those having second look (57.3%, 5-year survival) versus no second look (48.7%). In those patients with optimal primary cytoreduction (n = 118), there was no survival advantage to second look (69% versus 61%, P = 0.7). However, in those with suboptimal primary cytoreduction (n = 47), 5-year survival was 36% in those having second look versus only 13% in those refusing second look (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified second-look surgery as the only significant independent prognostic variable affecting survival (RR = 0.321, P < 0.04). Patients with suboptimal debulking at primary surgery for stage III ovarian cancer appear to achieve a survival benefit from second-look surgical procedures, presumably from the early identification and treatment of residual disease.

10093 Objective: Serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels have been shown to be associated with an adverse outcome in patients with ovarian cancer. We studied the clinical value of serum VEGF as an independent prognostic parameter. Methods: In the present study, we ascertained preoperative serum VEGF in a series of 314 patients with ovarian cancer. VEGF serum were evaluated in 45 new cases. Serum VEGF was evaluated prior to primary surgery in all patients. The re-analysis of previously published data comprised a total of 269 cases. Patients were treated between 1990 and 2003. Mean duration of follow-up was 38.9 (32.4) months. Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer were included into the present study, patients with other malignant ovarian tumors, borderline tumors, and benign adnexal masses were excluded. Serum VEGF was evaluated prior to primary surgery using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Quantikine Human VEGF Immunoassay; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) in all studies. Results were correlated with clinical data. Results: Median serum VEGF was 407 (238–746) pg/mL. Serum VEGF was associated with serum CA 125 (p=0.003) and residual tumor mass (p=0.02; residual tumor mass < 1cm: 375.5 [209.5–608.9] pg/mL vs. residual tumor mass ≥ 1cm: 625.2 [320.7–1046.7] pg/mL). Serum VEGF was not associated with FIGO stage (p=0.5), lymph node involvement (p=0.2), tumor grade (p=0.2), and patients’ age (p=0.08). In a univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis, FIGO stage, residual tumor mass, tumor grade, patients’ age, serum CA 125, and preoperative serum VEGF were associated with overall survival. In a multivariate Cox regression model, higher FIGO stage, presence of residual tumor mass after primary surgery, and higher serum VEGF were independently associated with a shortened overall survival. Planned subgroup analysis was performed for patients with ovarian cancer FIGO stage I. In a multivariate Cox regression model, higher tumor grade and higher serum VEGF were the only independent prognosticators for overall survival. Patients with FIGO stage I ovarian cancer and a serum VEGF ≥ 380 pg/mL had a 8-fold increased risk for experiencing cancer related death. Conclusion: Serum VEGF is an independent prognostic parameter in patients with all stages of ovarian cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
