Objectives: to determine the association between prognostic factors of ovarian cancer with a 3-years survival rate of epithelial ovarian cancer patients.Material and Method:  Retrospective cohort study was conducted in 90 patients (during 2012) at Dr.Kariadi General Hospital. Kaplan meier, Log rank and Cox regression were used to analyse survival rate and prognostic factors that influence the disease.Result: Overall 3-years survival rate of epithelial ovarian cancer patients were 58.5% (Kaplan meier). Three-years survival rates were 89.3%, 44,4%, and 35.1% for patients in stage I, stage II, and stage III, respectively, and no patient survive up to 3 years in stage IV. Prognostic factors that associated with 3-years survival rate were stage of the disease, ascites, residual tumor, and type of histopathology {p<0,001; p=0,001; p=0,004; p=0,041, respectively (Log rank test)}, whereas age and size of tumor were not associated. After using multivariate analysis (Cox regression) only stage of the disease was associated with 3-years survival rate of epithelial ovarian cancer patients.Conclusion: There were an association between stage of the disease, ascites, residual tumor, type of histopathology, and 3-years survival rate of epithelial ovarian cancer patients. Stage of the disease was a prognostic factor that most influence 3-years survival rate of epithelial ovarian cancer patiens in this study.

Abstract INTRODUCTION NM occurs in 5 - 15% of cancer patients and Overall Survival (OS) in treated patients ranges from 2-6 months. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of prognostic factors on OS and calculate a graded prognostic assessment (GPA) score based on tissue type, similar to the index score created for cancer patients with brain metastases (BM). METHODS We conducted a single center, retrospective analysis of 118 patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2018 at TMC. The prognostic factors analyzed were: Age (&lt; = 50yo =1pt), Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS &gt; =60 =1 pt), and no extracranial metastases (1pt). The GPA score was calculated from 0.0 - 3.0 by adding the points together. Kaplan Meier curves were used to estimate OS for primary tumors with 10 or more patients (breast, lung, leukemia, lymphoma). Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of the GPA with OS. RESULTS The GPA analysis by tumor type included 76% of the patient population. The median OS was 5 months (breast), 2 months (lung), 7 months (leukemia), and 2 months (lymphoma). We found that leukemia (p =0.008, N = 20) and lung cancer (p =0.002, N = 20) patients showed distinct separation between GPA groups on their Kaplan Meier curves. Higher KPS was associated with increased OS (p &lt; 0.0001) using Cox regression. DISCUSSION: The GPA algorithm was only partially successful in our NM population, which may reflect the smaller number of patients in our study compared to the studies used to create the BM GPA. TMC is a contributing institution to a large, multi-institutional, multi-national registry of patients with NM disease (Neoplastic Meningitis Registry - NeMeRe). We plan to use this larger dataset to validate our GPA score as a useful tool for predicting OS in NM patients.

Introduction: Ewing Family Tumour (EFT) is a group of rare malignant and aggressive tumour, with a considerably improved prognosis. However, there is lack of study on the outcome of children with EFT in Malaysia. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the Overall Survival (OS) rate, Event Free Survival (EFS) rate and identify the prognostic factors that determined the EFT outcome at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Methodology: A retrospective record review of children aged 0-18 years with EFT was done. Patients were identified from the registration data in the Oncology Unit and Record Office of Hospital USM. For patients with untraceable information or deceased, a letter was sent to State Registry to obtain the outcome of the patient. The association between demographics and patients’ clinical factors was determined using the Cox regression. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared using the Log-rank test. Results: There were 51 patients identified but 29 of them were eligible for the study. The mean duration of follow-up was 21 months. The OS rate at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years were 62.1%, 44.8%, 30.2% and 21.6% respectively. The EFS rate at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years were 41.9%, 26.7%, 17.8% and 0% respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the presence of surgical intervention (p = 0.030) and major complications (p = 0.045) were the significant prognostic factors to the survival of EFT. Conclusion: The survival rate of EFT among our patients was comparable to other developing countries, with surgical intervention and the presence of major complications as independent prognostic factors.

Epithelial ovarian cancer patients usually relapse after primary management. We utilized the support vector machine algorithm to develop a model for the chemo-response using the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and validated the model in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the GSE9891 dataset. Finally, we evaluated the feasibility of the model using ovarian cancer patients from our institute. The 10-gene predictive model demonstrated that the high response group had a longer recurrence-free survival (RFS) (log-rank test, p = 0.015 for TCGA, p = 0.013 for GSE9891 and p = 0.039 for NTUH) and overall survival (OS) (log-rank test, p = 0.002 for TCGA and p = 0.016 for NTUH). In a multivariate Cox hazard regression model, the predictive model (HR: 0.644, 95% CI: 0.436–0.952, p = 0.027) and residual tumor size < 1 cm (HR: 0.312, 95% CI: 0.170–0.573, p < 0.001) were significant factors for recurrence. The predictive model (HR: 0.511, 95% CI: 0.334–0.783, p = 0.002) and residual tumor size < 1 cm (HR: 0.252, 95% CI: 0.128–0.496, p < 0.001) were still significant factors for death. In conclusion, the patients of high response group stratified by the model had good response and favourable prognosis, whereas for the patients of medium to low response groups, introduction of other drugs or clinical trials might be beneficial.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths among Bruneian women. This study aims to investigate the survival rate of cervical cancer patients in Brunei Darussalam between 2002 and 2017, to compare survival of cervical cancer patients between two periods: 2002-2009 and 2010-2017 and to identify prognostic factors of cervical cancer.METHODS: A retrospective cohort study on cervical cancer patients registered in Brunei Darussalam Cancer Registry between 2002 and 2017. De-identified data from the registry was extracted and survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test and multiple Cox regression analysis.RESULTS: The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates of cervical cancer patients in Brunei Darussalam were 88.2%, 78.9% and 74.1% respectively from 2002-2017. The 5-year survival rate for 2002-2009 and 2010-2017 were 77.5% and 72.1% respectively. The risk of mortality was significantly higher in 2010-2017 compared to 2002-2009 after adjusting for other variables (Adjusted HR=1.57; 95% CI: 1.06, 2.31; p=0.025). Cervical cancer patients ≥ 60 years (Adjusted HR=1.85; 95% CI: 1.11, 3.09; p=0.019), and patients with distant cancer (Adjusted HR=49.47; 95% CI: 6.64, 368.52; p<0.001) had the highest risk of mortality.CONCLUSION: The 5-year survival rate of cervical cancer patients in Brunei Darussalam was 74.1%, which ranks relatively high globally. However, increased mortality among elderly patients, and patients diagnosed with cervical cancers at the later stages, calls for raising awareness, early detection, and management.

Objective: This exploratory study aimed to evaluate and compare the treatment costs of taxane-based versus cisplatin-based chemotherapy.Methods: This study used data from the medical and financial records of ovarian cancer patients who were admitted to Dharmais NationalCancer Hospital (RSKD) between 2008 and 2012 and subsequently underwent surgery and were treated with chemotherapy. Data were analyzedusing descriptive analysis, and a Kaplan–Meier graph was plotted to compare the survival of the patients in the taxane-based and cisplatin-basedchemotherapy groups.Results: Of 41 patients, treatment costs were available for nine patients who had undergone taxane-based chemotherapy and for 31 patients who hadundergone cisplatin-based chemotherapy. In general, surgical procedures accounted for the highest proportion of the treatment costs, followed bychemotherapy. Taxane-based chemotherapy (six cycles) was 4 times more expensive than cisplatin-based therapy. The pre- and post-chemotherapycosts of care among those treated with the taxane-based regimen were 3-4 times more expensive than those of the patients who received cisplatinbasedtreatment. The disease-free recurrence duration of the patients treated with taxane was longer (median=18 months) than that of the patientstreated with cisplatin (median=5 months).Conclusions: Taxane-based therapy increased the disease-free recurrence duration of the patients, with disease-free recurrence 3 times longer thanthat of the patients treated with the cisplatin-based regimen. However, the treatment costs of the taxane-based regimen were 4 times higher thanthose of the cisplatin-based treatment.

Yin-Deficiency (YD), representing a status of the human body under lack of nutrition and fluid in traditional Chinese medicine, is commonly seen in late stage of cancer patients. It is not known whether the severity of YD related symptoms/signs can predict the survival rate of cancer patients. This study evaluated the distribution of Yin-deficiency symptoms/signs (YDS) in cancer patients with YD, and investigated whether the severity of YDS can predict the survival rate of cancer patients with YD. From 5 January 2007 to 5 May 2007, we selected 43 cancer patients with diagnosis of YD from hospitalized patients and outpatients. The severity of YD was evaluated by a questionnaire. We further estimated the cumulative probabilities of the survival rates over 4 months since the start of study by the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method, and compared the differences among groups with various severities in each symptom/sign with the use of the log-rank test. The results revealed that, the 3 most common YDS were sleeplessness with annoyance, less or non-coated tongue with or without redness and dry mouth. In the survival rate analysis, only 2 parameters, rapidly small pulse (p = 0.002) and less-or non-coated tongue with paleness (p = 0.017), were found to be related to the decrease of cancer patients with YD. This suggests that, both rapidly small pulse and less-or non-coated tongue without redness may be used as predictors for the estimation of survival rate in cancer patients with YD.

BACKGROUND: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most common childhood hematological malignancies with an incident each year that tends to increase. AIM: This study aims to determine the survival rate of childhood ALL in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital and the prognostic factors that influence it. METHODS: A retrospective cohort design was conducted among childhood ALL. The samples were patients ALL diagnosed since January 1, 2014, until 31, 2017, in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital. A total of 109 patients were selected by simple random sampling. Data collected through medical records observations. Data were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: The cumulative survival rate of childhood ALL was 26%. The prognostic factors associated with survival of childhood ALL were nutritional status (p = 0.028), leukocyte counts (p = 0.000), platelet counts (p = 0.000), and comorbidity (p = 0.000). Based on multivariate analysis with Cox regression, the most influencing prognostic factor on survival of ALL patients was comorbidity (p = 0.000, hazard ratio = 3.699 confidence interval 95% 1.945–7.033). Childhood ALL with comorbidities had a risk of death 3699 times higher than childhood ALL without comorbidities. CONCLUSION: Nutritional status, leukocyte counts, platelet counts, and comorbidity were prognostic factors that influence survival of childhood ALL. Comorbidity was the most influencing prognostic factor on survival of childhood ALL.

Abstract Background Systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy has been widely used in the surgical treatment of advanced ovarian cancer patients. Nevertheless, the corresponding therapeutic may not provide a survival benefit. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy in such patients. Methods Patients with advanced ovarian cancer (stage III-IV, according to the classification presented by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) who were admitted and treated in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from January 2004 to December 2013 were enrolled and reviewed retrospectively. All patients were optimally or suboptimally debulked (absent or residual tumor <1 cm) and divided into two groups. Group A (no-lymphadenectomy group, n =170): patients did not undergo lymph node resection; lymph nodes resection or biopsy were selective. Group B (n=240): patients underwent systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. Results A total of 410 eligible patients were enrolled in the study. The patients’ median age was 51 years old (range, 28–72 years old). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 78% and 24% in the no-lymphadenectomy group and 76% and 26% in the lymphadenectomy group (P=0.385 and 0.214, respectively). Subsequently, there was no significant difference in 5-year OS and 2-year PFS between the two groups stratified to histological types (serous type or non-serous type), the clinical evaluation of negative lymph nodes or with macroscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond pelvic (IIIB-IV). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy was not a significant factor influencing the patients’ survival. Patients in the lymphadenectomy group had a higher incidence of postoperative complications (incidence of infection treated with antibiotics was 21.7% vs. 12.9% [P=0.027]; incidence of lymph cysts was 20.8% vs. 2.4% [P < 0.001]). Conclusions Our study showed that systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy did not significantly improve survival of advanced ovarian cancer patients with residual tumor <1 cm or absent after cytoreductive surgery, and were associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications.
