ObjectiveThe objective of this retrospective study was to assess the clinical outcome of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in complete response after primary debulking surgery (PDS) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS]).MethodsThe authors reviewed the hospital records of 384 patients who underwent PDS (n = 322) or IDS (n = 62) and who were in complete response after primary treatment.ResultsOptimal (residual disease [RD] < 1 cm) and complete (no gross RD) cytoreduction rates were higher after IDS than after PDS (71.0% vs 55.9%;P= 0.001 and 51.6% vs 35.7%, respectively;P= 0.02). Tumor recurred in 73.0% of the 322 complete responders after PDS versus 87.1% of the 62 complete responders after IDS (P= 0.01). The IDS group showed a higher recurrence rate within 6 months (11.3% vs 3.1%:P= 0.01) and a trend to higher recurrence rate between 6 and 12 months (30.6% vs 19.9%). Tumor recurred in 57.4% of the 115 completely cytoreduced patients after PDS versus 87.5% of the 32 completely cytoreduced patients after IDS (P= 0.001). The IDS group showed a trend to higher recurrence rate within 6 months (6.2% vs 1.7%) and a higher recurrence rate between 6 and 12 months (37.5% vs 15.6%;P= 0.01). Two-year, 5-year, and 7-year progression-free survival were 65.8%, 40.8%, and 39.3% for completely cytoreduced patients after PDS versus 43.8%, 12.5%, and 12.5% for completely cytoreduced patients after IDS (P= 0.001); and 2-year, 5-year, and 7-year overall survival were 96.4%, 69.3%, and 50.4% for the former versus 87.1%, 41.8%, and 32.6% for the latter (P= 0.001).ConclusionsThe clinical outcome of completely cytoreduced patients was significantly better for PDS group than for IDS group, and therefore, the achievement of no gross RD after surgery seemed to have a different prognostic relevance for the 2 groups.

Abstract Objective To compare the chemoresistance and survival in patients with stage IIIC or IV epithelial ovarian cancer who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS) or primary debulking surgery (PDS). The clinical characteristics of patients who benefited from NACT were further evaluated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 220 patients who underwent NACT followed by IDS or PDS from January 2002 to December 2016. Differences in clinicopathological features, chemoresistance and prognosis were analyzed. Results The incidence rate for optimal cytoreduction and chemoresistance in the NACT group was relatively higher than PDS group. No differences were observed in progression free survival or overall survival. Patients without macroscopic RD in NACT group (NACT-R0) had a similar prognosis compared to those in PDS group who had RD<1 cm, and a relatively better prognosis compared to the PDS group that had RD ≥ 1 cm. The survival curve showed that patients in NACT-R0 group that were chemosensitive seemed to have a better prognosis compared to patients in PDS group that had RD. Conclusion Patients without RD after PDS had the best prognosis, whereas patients with RD after NACT followed by IDS had the worst. However, even if patients achieved no RD, their prognosis varied depending on chemosensitivity. Survival was better in patients who were chemosensitive compared to thosewho underwent PDS but had RD. Hence evaluating the chemosensitivity and feasibility of complete cytoreduction in advance is crucial.
