Objective: To analyze conditional survival (CS) in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and investigate prognostic factors that affect the CS rate to provide more accurate survival information.Methods: Patients with advanced EOC between 2004 and 2015 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. CS analysis was performed to depict exact survival for patients who had already survived a specific number of years. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to ascertain the individual contribution of factors associated with actuarial overall survival (OS) at diagnosis and CS at 1, 3, and 5 years after diagnosis.Results: Of 11,773 patients, OS decreased from 32.2% at 6 years to 25.1% at 8 years, while the corresponding 5 year CS (CS5) increased from 37.5% at 1 year to 43.9% at 3 years. Subgroup analysis stratified by clinicopathological characteristics showed that CS5 was always higher than the corresponding actuarial survival (all Δ > 0). Based on multivariate analysis at diagnosis, age, race, marital status, histological type, tumor grade, size, T stage, M stage, surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors for OS. Five years after diagnosis, however, only age, histological type, tumor grade, and laterality were persistently significant independent prognostic factors (all P <0.05). Furthermore, patients with poor pathological prognostic factors achieved greater improvements in CS5 rates, and the survival gaps between OS and CS were more obvious.Conclusion: CS of advanced EOC was dynamic and increased over time. Age, histology, tumor grade, and laterality were significant prognostic factors even 5 years after diagnosis. Thus, the availability of updated prognoses at various time points will allow clinicians to better guide their patients.

PurposeTo analyze the potential prognostic factors of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in women aged under 35 compared to those aged 60–79.MethodsCases were retrospectively obtained from SEER database. Clinical characteristics, such as race, histological type, AJCC stage, laterality of tumors, CA125 results, and surgical strategies, were analyzed in < 35 years group and 60–79 years group. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to evaluate overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS). Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify the predictors for CSS.ResultsSixteen thousand eight hundred forty-seven EOC patients diagnosed in 2004–2015 were identified from SEER database, with 1,015 aged under 35 and 15,833 aged 60–79. In < 35 years group, mucinous (32.2%) was the most common histological type, followed by high-grade serous (26.6%) and endometrioid (18.3%), while in 60–79 years group, high-grade serous (68.3%) represented the leading histological type. Most young women were diagnosed at stage I (57.7%), while most old women were diagnosed at stage (48.1%). Both 5-year OS and 5-year CSS were higher in < 35 years group (5-year OS: 76.00% vs 40.18%, p < 0.001; 5-year CSS: 83.56% vs 55.18%, p < 0.001). The multivariate analysis identified histological type and stage as prognostic factors for CSS in both groups. Endometrioid represented a positive predictor for CSS, while carcinosarcoma and malignant Brenner were related to a worse CSS. (< 35 years group: carcinosarcoma vs endometrioid: HR 5.630, p=0.024; malignant Brenner vs endometrioid: HR 4.005, p < 0.001; 60–79 years group: carcinosarcoma vs endometrioid: HR 3.606, p < 0.001; malignant Brenner vs endometrioid: HR 2.291, p < 0.001). Tumors laterality, CA125 levels, surgery and lymphadenectomy failed to be associated with the CSS in < 35 years group, while found to be independent risk factors in 60–79 years group.ConclusionEOC women aged under 35 had a better survival outcome over EOC women aged 60–79, owing to high proportion of endometrioid and mucinous types in histology, as well as early-stage diagnosis. Identification of histological types and gene profiles should be underscored in young EOC patients.

Introduction: In advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, there is a survival benefit for patients who achieve optimalcytoreduction. Suboptimallycytoreduced patients are at risk of the increased morbidity of a surgery without associated survival benefit. Predicting which patients can undergo optimal cytoreduction represents a critical decision-making point. Present study analyses the predictors, pre operative (clinical and radiologic) and intraoperative of suboptimal debulking. Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences from March 2013 to May 2015. All the patients with clinically (physical examination, laboratory and imaging results) diagnosed Stage IIIc epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC) who were planed for primary debulking surgery were included. The demographic data and details of tumor markers, radiological investigations including CT scan, intra operative findings and histopathologic details were collected. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS v20.0. Results: 36 patients fit the inclusion criteria. Gross ascites wasthe clinical parameter found to be associated with suboptimal debulking. CT scan had low sensitivity (35-53%) in diagnosing small bowel mesenteric and porta hepatis disease and high sensitivity in diagnosing diffuse peritoneal thickening, omental disease, diaphragmatic and nodal disease. On univariate analysis diffuse peritoneal thickening and small bowel serosa and mesenteric disease were significantly consistent with sub optimal debulking. Conclusion: Finding out disease at the sites which are associated with suboptimal debulking (diffuse peritoneal thickening, smallbowel mesenteric and serosal disease) pre operatively or at the beginning of surgery can predict optimal debulking and can help avoid un necessary surgery.

Recent robust data allow for omitting lymph node dissection for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and without any suspicion of lymph node metastases, without compromising recurrence-free survival (RFS), nor overall survival (OS), in the setting of primary surgical treatment. Evidence supporting the same postulate for patients undergoing complete cytoreductive surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is lacking. Throughout a systematic literature review, the aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of lymph node dissection in patients undergoing surgery for advanced-stage EOC after NACT. A total of 1094 patients, included in six retrospective series, underwent either systematic, selective or no lymph node dissection. Only one study reveals a positive effect of lymphadenectomy on OS, and two on RFS. The four remaining series fail to demonstrate any beneficial effect on survival, neither for RFS nor OS. All of them highlight the higher peri- and post-operative complication rate associated with systematic lymph node dissection. Despite heterogeneity in the design of the studies included, there seems to be a trend showing no improvement on OS for systematic lymph node dissection in node negative patients. A well-conducted prospective trial is mandatory to evaluate this matter.
