The impact of varying levels of residual disease following cytoreductive surgery on survival outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Residual disease following cytoreductive surgery in patients with ovarian cancer has been associated with poorer survival outcomes compared with no residual disease. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the impact of varying levels of residual disease status on survival outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer who have undergone primary cytoreductive surgery or interval cytoreductive surgery in the setting of new therapies for this disease.

Methods

Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases (January 2011 - July 2020) and grey literature, bibliographic and key conference proceedings, were searched for eligible studies. Fixed and random-effects meta-analyses compared progression and survival by residual disease level across studies. Heterogeneity between comparisons was explored via type of surgery, disease stage, and type of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Results

Of 2832 database and 16 supplementary search articles screened, 50 studies were selected; most were observational studies. The meta-analysis showed that median progression-free survival and overall survival decreased progressively with increasing residual disease (residual disease categories of 0 cm, > 0-1 cm and > 1 cm). Compared with no residual disease, hazard ratios (HR) for disease progression increased with increasing residual disease category (1.75 [95% confidence interval: 1.42, 2.16] for residual disease > 0-1 cm and 2.14 [1.34, 3.39] for residual disease > 1 cm), and also for reduced survival (HR versus no residual disease, 1.75 [ 1.62, 1.90] for residual disease > 0-1 cm and 2.32 [1.97, 2.72] for residual disease > 1 cm). All comparisons were significant (p < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed an association between residual disease and disease progression/reduced survival irrespective of type of surgery, disease stage, or type of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Conclusions

This meta-analysis provided an update on the impact of residual disease following primary or interval cytoreductive surgery, and demonstrated that residual disease was still highly predictive of progression-free survival and overall survival in adults with ovarian cancer despite changes in ovarian cancer therapy over the last decade. Higher numerical categories of residual disease were associated with reduced survival than lower categories.

Project description:ImportanceUncertainty remains about the relative benefits of primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) vs neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).ObjectiveTo compare overall survival of PCS vs NACT in a large national population of women with advanced-stage EOC.Design, setting, and participantsRetrospective cohort study of women with stage IIIC and IV EOC diagnosed between 2003 and 2011 treated at hospitals across the United States reporting to the National Cancer Data Base. We focused on patients 70 years or younger with a Charlson comorbidity index of 0 who were likely candidates for either treatment.ExposuresInitial treatment approach of PCS vs NACT, examined using an intent-to-treat analysis.Main outcomes and measuresOverall survival, defined as months from cancer diagnosis to death or date of the last contact. We used propensity score matching to compare similar women who underwent PCS and NACT. The association of treatment approach with overall survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. We assessed whether the findings were influenced by differences in the prevalence of an unobserved confounder, such as limited performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 1-2), preoperative disease burden, and BRCA status.ResultsAmong 22 962 patients (mean [SD] age, 56.12 [9.38] years), 19 836 (86.4%) received PCS and 3126 (13.6%) underwent NACT. We matched 2935 patients treated with NACT with similar patients who received PCS. The median follow-up was 56.5 (95% CI, 54.5-59.2) months in the PCS group and 56.3 (95% CI, 54.5-59.8) months in the NACT group in the propensity-matched cohort. Among propensity score-matched groups, the median overall survival was 37.3 (95% CI, 35.2-38.7) months in the PCS group and 32.1 (95% CI, 30.8-34.1) months in the NACT group (P < .001). However, if the NACT group had a higher proportion of women with performance statuses of 1 to 2 compared with those who underwent PCS (60% vs 50%), the association of PCS and improved survival would not be statistically significant.Conclusions and relevancePrimary cytoreductive surgery was associated with improved survival compared with NACT in otherwise healthy women with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer aged 70 years or younger. The lower survival in women who received NACT could be explained by a higher prevalence of limited performance status in women undergoing NACT.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the prevalence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), the perioperative factors associated with PPCs, and the association of PPCs with postoperative outcomes in ovarian cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery in our hospital, between September 2017 and January 2021, and patient medical records were reviewed to collect relevant clinical information. Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to identify significant risk factors for PPCs. Analysis of the association of PPCs with postoperative outcomes, mortality and 30-day readmission, was undertaken utilizing propensity score-matched controls and multivariable logistic regression model.ResultsFinal analysis was performed with 268 ovarian cancer patients after cytoreductive surgery, among whom the incidence of PPCs was 26.9%, and the most frequent pulmonary complication was pleural effusion. According to the multivariate analysis, the intraoperative fluid infusion volume (L) (odds ratio (OR) 1.34; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.01-1.77; P = 0.040), diameter size of diaphragmatic resection (cm) (OR 1.16; 95% CI 1.06-1.28; P = 0.002), and surgical complexity scores (OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.13-1.42; P < 0.001) were significantly associated with the development of PPCs. The multivariable logistic regression analyses with propensity-matched controls demonstrated that the occurrence of PPCs significantly increased the risk of 30-day readmission (OR 6.01; 95% CI 1.12-32.40; P = 0.037) and did not significantly affect inpatient mortality.ConclusionOvarian cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery, especially those with diaphragmatic resection or higher surgical complexity scores, represent a high-risk population for PPCs. In addition, goal-directed fluid therapy is vital to reducing the occurrence of PPCs in patients at risk. PPCs were not associated with in-hospital mortality but were significantly associated with an increased risk of 30-day readmission after cytoreductive surgery.

Project description:BackgroundUreteral reconstruction is required after surgical resection of the tumor invading the urinary tract in ovarian cancer with low incidence. There are no currently reported surgical outcomes of ureteral reconstruction during cytoreductive surgery. The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical features and surgical outcomes of ureteral reconstruction during primary, interval and secondary cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer. METHODS: A total of 3226 patients who underwent primary, interval or secondary cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer between January 2000 and May 2021 were reviewed. Fifty-six patients who underwent ureteral reconstruction during cytoreductive surgery were included in the analysis. RESULTS: Ureteral reconstruction was required in 1.7% (56/3226) of ovarian cancer patients. Of the 56 patients who underwent ureteral reconstruction during cytoreductive surgery, 35 (62.5%) had primary ovarian cancer, and 21 (37.5%) had recurrent ovarian cancer. The median tumor size invading the lower urinary tract was 2.0 cm (range, 0.4-9.5 cm). Ureteroneocystostomy with direct implantation (51.8%) and psoas hitch (8.9%), transureteroureterostomy (7.1%), and ureteroureterostomy (32.1%) were required as part of cytoreductive surgery. Complete cytoreduction with ureteral reconstruction was achieved in 83.9% (47/56) and the rest of the patient population (16.1%) achieved a gross residual tumor size of less than 1 cm. All complications, including hydronephrosis (33.9%), were managed, none resulting in long-term sequelae. In primary ovarian cancer, the 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 50.0% and 89.5%, respectively. In patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, the 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 23.6% and 64.0%, respectively.ConclusionsUreteral reconstruction as a part of cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer could be performed with acceptable morbidities. Complete cytoreduction by a multidisciplinary surgical team, including urologic oncologists, should be pursued for the surgical management of ovarian cancer.Trial registrationRetrospectively registered.
