e15646 Background: The oophorectomy in isolated metastasis of ovary can lead to long term survival in patients with gastric cancer, but the clinical significance of oophorectomy in stage IV gastric cancer patients is not known well in this time. Methods: We reviewed the medical record of the 55 gastric cancer patients who were metastasis or recurrent in ovary at Dongsan Medical Center, Kimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, Korea from 1985 to 2008. Results: Twenty-one patients were metastasis to ovary at the time of diagnosis of gastric cancer, and 34 patients were recurrent in ovary after the gastric resection. The mean age was 45.3 ± 11.6 years in metastatic cancer and 46.8 ±12.6 years in recurrent cancer patients. The stage at the time of gastric resection in 34 recurrent patients were I in 3, II in 1, III in 18, and IV in 10. Adjuvant chemotherapy were performed in 26 (76.5%) patients. Oophorectomy were performed in 33 (97.1%) of recurrent cancer, and 17 (81.0%) of metastatic cancer. The 1-year and 2-year survival rate of metastatic cancer were 14.7%, and 0%, and 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival rate of recurrent cancer were 47.2%, 18.1%, and 0%, respectively. The median survival duration of metastatic cancer were 8.9 ±1.0 months, and recurrent cancer were 11.4 ±2.3 months. Recurrent cancer were better survival than metastatic cancer patients (p=0.014). The long-term survival (over 2 years) was noted in 5 patients of recurrent cancer patients. The stage of gastric cancer was correlated to overall survival time in total patients (p=0.028). But, the relapse-free survival time after gastrectomy is the only factor to predict survival duration after oophorectomy in recurrent cancer patients (p=0.029). Age, stage of gastric cancer, extent of involvement of ovary, and systemic chemotherapy were not related to survival time of recurrent cancer patients. Conclusions: The survival time in patients with oophorectomy in recurrent gastric cancer was correlated to relapse-free survival time after gastric resection. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
