RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate procedures performed during primary debulking surgery (PDS) and interval debulking surgery (IDS) for ovarian cancer. METHODS: Patients surgically treated at our institution for newly diagnosed stage IIIC/IV epithelial ovarian cancer between 6/1/2015-12/31/2021 were identified using a prospectively collected database. Patients were triaged to PDS or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by IDS using an institutional algorithm. Data on specific procedures performed, including consultants called, were collected from operative and pathology reports. Appropriate statistical analyses were applied. RESULTS: Overall, 467 patients underwent PDS and 434 underwent IDS; 76% (PDS) and 71% (IDS) of cases achieved complete gross resection. Comparing PDS vs IDS cohorts, median age was 63 years (range, 23-86) vs 67 years (range, 35-95), 79% vs 86% of patients had high-grade serous histology, and 38% vs 70% had stage IV disease. Most procedures (except ostomy, distal pancreatectomy) were more common during PDS (P < .05). Bowel surgery was performed during 65% of PDS and 33% of IDS, and upper abdominal surgery during 72% of PDS and 52% of IDS; both were more common during PDS (P < .001). Estimated blood loss (median, 500 mL [PDS] vs 300 mL [IDS]) and operative time (median, 362 min [PDS] vs 267 min [IDS]) were higher for PDS (P < .001). A consulting surgeon was utilized during 31% of PDS and 18% of IDS, with hepatopancreaticobiliary as the most commonly called service (61% and 65%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In our study of patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer, while most procedures were more often performed during PDS, NACT did not obviate the need for radical surgical resection. Thus, advanced surgical skills remain essential.

OBJECTIVE: Despite lacking clinical data, the Dutch government is considering increasing the minimum annual surgical volume per center from twenty to fifty cytoreductive surgeries (CRS) for advanced-stage ovarian cancer (OC). This study aims to evaluate whether this increase is warranted. METHODS: This population-based study included all CRS for FIGO-stage IIB-IVB OC registered in eighteen Dutch hospitals between 2019 and 2022. Short-term outcomes included result of CRS, length of stay, severe complications, 30-day mortality, time to adjuvant chemotherapy, and textbook outcome. Patients were stratified by annual volume: low-volume (nine hospitals, <25), medium-volume (four hospitals, 29-37), and high-volume (five hospitals, 54-84). Descriptive statistics and multilevel logistic regressions were used to assess the (case-mix adjusted) associations of surgical volume and outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 1646 interval CRS (iCRS) and 789 primary CRS (pCRS) were included. No associations were found between surgical volume and different outcomes in the iCRS cohort. In the pCRS cohort, high-volume was associated with increased complete CRS rates (aOR 1.9, 95%-CI 1.2-3.1, p = 0.010). Furthermore, high-volume was associated with increased severe complication rates (aOR 2.3, 1.1-4.6, 95%-CI 1.3-4.2, p = 0.022) and prolonged length of stay (aOR 2.3, 95%-CI 1.3-4.2, p = 0.005). 30-day mortality, time to adjuvant chemotherapy, and textbook outcome were not associated with surgical volume in the pCRS cohort. Subgroup analyses (FIGO-stage IIIC-IVB) showed similar results. Various case-mix factors significantly impacted outcomes, warranting case-mix adjustment. CONCLUSIONS: Our analyses do not support further centralization of iCRS for advanced-stage OC. High-volume was associated with higher complete pCRS, suggesting either a more accurate selection in these hospitals or a more aggressive approach. The higher completeness rates were at the expense of higher severe complications and prolonged admissions.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Formation of stoma during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is often performed to reduce the risk of anastomotic leak. Subsequent stoma reversal provides a unique opportunity for second-look surgery to detect early peritoneal recurrence. Current surveillance methods often fail to detect disease early, including imaging and biochemical markers. In our study, we examined the safety and efficacy of second-look surgery for detection and treatment of disease recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from 35 patients undergoing stoma reversal from 2015 to 2019 with negative pre-operative imaging. RESULTS: A total of 37% of cases had disease recurrence, with a median peritoneal cancer index of 4. Complete cytoreduction was achieved in all patients. The majority of patients (77%) suffered minor complications only. Median length of hospital stay was 12 days. CONCLUSION: Second-look surgery detects early disease recurrence and is a safe alternative to conventional screening methods post primary CRS/HIPEC for PC. Long-term, routine second-look surgery can improve survival.

BACKGROUND: In selected patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin, complete cytoreduction has been the main single prognostic factor influencing long-term outcomes. In these patients, indocyanine green fluorescence imaging seems to be useful in detecting small subclinical peritoneal implants. However, quantitative fluorescence analysis has not yet been established as standard. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of quantitative indocyanine green fluorescence assessment in the detection of peritoneal metastases of nonmucinous colorectal origin. DESIGN: This is a single-center, single-arm, low-intervention prospective trial. SETTINGS: A fluorescence assessment device was used for intraoperative fluorescence quantitative assessment. PATIENTS: Consecutive patients diagnosed with peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin who met the inclusion criteria were selected for curative surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Intravenous indocyanine green was administered 12 hours before surgery. Cytoreduction was performed through nodule identification under white light and then under indocyanine green. Finally, ex vivo fluorescence was assessed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes measured were the sensitivity and specificity of quantitative fluorescence. RESULTS: The first 11 enrolled patients were included in this preliminary analysis. In total, 52 nodules were resected, with 37 (71.1%) being diagnosed as malignant in the histopathological analysis. Of those, 5 (13.5%) were undetectable under white light and were identified only with fluorescence. A total of 15 nonmalignant nodules were detected under white light, 8 (53.3%) of which were fluorescence negative. Fluorescence greater than 181 units might be the threshold of malignancy, with a sensitivity and specificity of 89.0% and 85.0%, whereas uptake less than 100 units appears to correlate with a benign pathology. LIMITATIONS: The limited sample size, the physiological uptake, and excretion of indocyanine green might interfere with the assessment of unnoticed implants in the bowel serosa and liver. CONCLUSIONS: Quantitative indocyanine green seems to be useful for the assessment of nonmucinous colorectal peritoneal metastases. Fluorescence uptake greater than 181 units appears to correlate with malignancy, whereas uptake less than 100 units appears to correlate with a benign pathology.

EVALUACIN CUANTITATIVA DE IMGENES DE FLUORESCENCIA CON VERDE DE INDOCIANINA PARA METSTASIS PERITONEALES NO MUCINOSAS RESULTADOS PRELIMINARES DEL ESTUDIO ICCP: ANTECEDENTES:En pacientes seleccionados con metástasis peritoneales de origen colorrectal, la citorreducción com-pleta ha sido el único factor pronóstico principal que influye en el resultado a largo plazo. En estos pacientes, las imágenes de fluorescencia con verde de indocianina parecen ser útiles para detectar pequeños implantes peritoneales subclínicos. Sin embargo, el análisis cuantitativo de fluorescencia aún no se ha establecido como estándar.OBJETIVO:Evaluar la sensibilidad y especificidad de la evaluación cuantitativa de fluorescencia verde de indo-cianina, en la detección de metástasis peritoneales de origen colorrectal no mucinoso.DISEÑO:Ensayo prospectivo de intervención baja de un solo brazo y un solo centro.ENTORNO CLINICO:El dispositivo se utilizó para la evaluación cuantitativa de fluorescencia intraoperatoria.PACIENTES:Pacientes consecutivos diagnosticados con metástasis peritoneales de origen colorrectal, selecciona-dos para cirugía curativa y que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión.INTERVENCIONES:Se administró verde de indocianina por vía intravenosa 12 h antes de la cirugía. La citorreducción se realizó mediante identificación de nódulos con luz blanca y luego con verde de indocianina. Final-mente, se evaluó la fluorescencia ex vivo.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE VALORACION:Sensibilidad y especificidad cuantitativa de la fluorescencia.RESULTADOS:Los primeros 11 pacientes fueron incluidos en este análisis preliminar. En total se resecaron 52 nódu-los, siendo 37 (71,1%) diagnosticados como malignos en el análisis histopatológico. De ellos, 5 (13,5%) eran indetectables bajo luz blanca y solamente se identificaron con fluorescencia. Se detec-taron un total de 15 nódulos no malignos bajo luz blanca, de los cuales 8 (53,3%) fueron fluorescen-tes negativos. La fluorescencia superior a 181 unidades podría ser el umbral de malignidad, con una sensibilidad y especificidad del 89,0% y el 85,0% respectivamente; mientras que la captación por debajo de 100 unidades parece correlacionarse con una patología benigna.LIMITACIONES:El tamaño limitado de la muestra; la captación fisiológica y la excreción de verde de indocianina pueden interferir con la evaluación de implantes inadvertidos en la serosa intestinal y el hígado.CONCLUSIONES:La cuantificación del verde de indocianina, parece ser útil en la evaluación de metástasis peritonea-les colorrectales no mucinosas. La captación de fluorescencia por encima de 181 unidades parece correlacionarse con la malignidad, mientras que la captación por debajo de 100 unidades parece co-rrelacionarse con una patología benigna.

INTRODUCTION: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is typically reserved for a complete or optimal cytoreduction. There is the potential for therapeutic effect of HIPEC with an incomplete cytoreduction, particularly for near optimal cytoreductions. METHODS: Retrospective review of incomplete cytoreductions (R2b, R2c) for appendiceal and colorectal primaries. Primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Subgroup analysis for primary etiology and specific cytoreductive score. RESULTS: A total of 121 cases of incomplete CRS, 74 CRS alone, and 47 CRS-HIPEC. For the entire study group there was a survival benefit with HIPEC. OS and PFS were 2.3 versus 1.4 (p = 0.001) and 1.6 versus 0.7 (p < 0.0001) respectively for cases with and without HIPEC. Subgroup analysis of appendiceal neoplasms, 43 CRS-HIPEC and 50 CRS alone, found HIPEC benefit persisted; OS and PFS were 2.4 versus 1.5 (p = 0.016) and 1.7 versus 0.8 (p < 0.0001), respectively for cases with and without HIPEC. Benefit most pronounced in low-grade cases with doubling of the OS and PFS (p = 0.004). With colorectal primary cases, 10 CRS-HIPEC and 18 CRS alone, no difference in OS and PFS. When stratifying out by cytoreduction scores, R2b and R2c, HIPEC only provided a benefit for R2b cases; OS and PFS for R2b cases were 2.28 versus 1.01 (p = 0.011) and 1.67 versus 0.75 (p = 0.001), respectively for cases with and without HIPEC. CONCLUSION: HIPEC has utility for incomplete cytoreductions with appendiceal neoplasms, greatest effect with low-grade appendiceal neoplasms. HIPEC is only beneficial for near optimal cytoreductions (R2b).

BACKGROUND: For highly selected patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer (CRC), an aggressive surgical approach with intraperitoneal chemotherapy may be beneficial. This management may prolong overall survival, which is well documented by the results of a number of clinical trials. In the Czech Republic, five specialized centers of surgical oncology are able to perform cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). All of these centers provided accurate information on the number of CRS procedures in 2018 in the PM CRC indication. The estimation of the prevalence of peritoneal metastases from CRC is based on data from the Czech National Cancer Registry. PURPOSE: To determine the number of cytoreductive procedures performed in patients with peritoneal metastases from CRC in the Czech Republic in 2018, and to compare it with the number of patients who could hypothetically benefit from this procedure according to statistical data. RESULTS: Twenty-five CRS/HIPEC procedures were performed on patients with peritoneal metastases from CRC in 2018 in the Czech Republic. However, based on the prevalence of peritoneal metastases from CRC in the Czech Republic, cytoreduction with intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) could probably bring benefit to a minimum of 150 patients a year in the Czech Republic. CONCLUSION: In the Czech Republic in 2018, the cytoreduction and HIPEC procedures for peritoneal metastases from CRC were performed in significantly fewer cases than would correspond to the estimated number of potentially curable patients.To increase the awareness of this issue and improve the number of potentially curative cytoreductive procedures, there will be necessary better awareness and closer cooperation among specialized centers, general surgeons, and clinical oncologists.

INTRODUCTION: In gynecologic patients, few studies describe the accuracy of the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (ACS-NSQIP) pre-operative risk calculator for women undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the ACS-NSQIP risk calculator accurately predicts post-operative complications and length of stay in patients undergoing interval debulking surgery for advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS: For this multi-institutional retrospective cohort study, pre-operative risk factors, post-operative complication rates, and Current Procedural Terminology codes were abstracted from records of patients with ovarian cancer managed with open interval debulking surgery from January 2010 to July 2015. A power calculation was done to estimate the minimum number of complications needed to evaluate the accuracy of the ACS-NSQIP risk calculator. Predicted risk compared with observed risk was calculated using logistic regression. The predictive accuracy of the ACS-NSQIP risk calculator in estimating post-operative complications or length of stay was assessed using c-statistics and Briar scores. Complications with a c-statistic of >0.70 and Brier score of <0.01 were considered to have high discriminative ability. RESULTS: A total of 261 patients underwent interval debulking surgery, encompassing 21 unique Current Procedural Terminology codes. Readmission (n=25), surgical site infection (n=35), urinary tract infection (n=12), and serious post-operative complications (n=57) met the minimum event threshold (n>10). All predicted complication rates fell within the IQR of the observed incidence rates. However, the ACS-NSQIP calculator demonstrated neither discriminative ability nor accuracy for any post-operative complications based on c-statistics and Brier scores. The calculator accurately predicted length of stay within 1 day for only 32% of patients and could not accurately predict which patients were likely to have a prolonged length of stay (c-statistic=0.65). CONCLUSION: Among patients undergoing interval debulking surgery, the ACS-NSQIP did not accurately discriminate which patients were at increased risk of complications or extended length of stay. The risk calculator should be considered to have limited utility in informing pre-operative counseling or surgical planning.

Aims: This study evaluated primary treatment modalities in advanced ovarian cancer according to sociodemographic characteristics and characterized chemotherapy regimens used. Methods: This was a retrospective study of newly diagnosed advanced ovarian, tubal or peritoneal cancer patients at two hospitals from 2011 to 2016. Results: Of 175 women, 41% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 59% received primary cytoreductive surgery. Within the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group, 23% did not have a surgical consultation prior to initiating treatment. Women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy lived closer to an academic center and more frequently received carboplatin/paclitaxel every 3 weeks. Cytoreductive surgery patients more frequently received intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Conclusion: The authors identified disparities in age, insurance, distance from treatment center and chemotherapy choice in the primary treatment for ovarian cancer.
Lay abstract Aims: This study evaluated surgery versus chemotherapy in stage III or IV ovarian cancer and whether differences exist between different groups of patients. Methods: This study looked at newly diagnosed stage III/IV ovarian, tubal or peritoneal cancer patients at two hospitals from 2011 to 2016. Results: Of 175 women, 41% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 59% received primary cytoreductive surgery. Within the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group, 23% did not see a gynecologic oncologist prior to initiating treatment. Women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy lived closer to an academic center and more frequently received carboplatin/paclitaxel every 3 weeks. Cytoreductive surgery patients more frequently received intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Conclusion: The authors identified differences in age, insurance, distance from treatment center and chemotherapy choice in the treatment for ovarian cancer.

OBJECTIVE: BRCA-associated ovarian cancers are biologically unique; it is unclear if this translates to favorable outcomes at the time of primary cytoreduction (PCS). The aim of this study was to compare the amount of residual disease after PCS in BRCA mutated (BRCAm) and wild-type (BRCAwt) high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSC), and to assess whether BRCA status was an independent predictor of complete cytoreduction. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with stage III/IV HGSC with known germline and somatic BRCA status, treated with PCS from 2000 to 2017. We compared the complete, optimal and suboptimal cytoreduction rates between the BRCAm and BRCAwt cohorts and built a predictive model to assess whether BRCA status was predictive of complete cytoreduction. RESULTS: Of 303 treated with PCS, 120 were germline/somatic BRCAm (40%) and 183 were BRCAwt (60%). BRCAm women tended to be younger, but there were no differences between the two groups in preoperative CA-125, disease burden, surgical complexity, length of surgery, or perioperative complications. BRCAm group had a higher rate of complete cytoreduction to no residual disease (0 mm) [72% vs. 48%] (p < 0.001). In a multivariate model, after accounting for age, length of surgery, CA-125 level, stage, disease burden and surgical complexity, BRCAm status was predictive of 0 mm residual disease with odds ratio of 5.3 (95% CI 2.45-11.5; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: BRCAm status is predictive of complete cytoreduction at the time of PCS. Despite similar disease burden and surgical efforts, one is more likely to achieve complete resection in BRCAm HGSC.

OBJECTIVE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has emerged as an alternative to primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) for stage IV uterine cancer. We examined utilization, perioperative outcomes and survival for NACT and PCS for stage IV uterine cancer. METHODS: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results-Medicare database was used to identify women with stage IV uterine cancer treated from 2000 to 2015. Women were classified as NACT or PCS. Interval cytoreductive surgery (after NACT) or chemotherapy (after PCS) were recorded. The extent of surgery and perioperative outcomes were estimated for the groups. Multivariable proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to examine survival. RESULTS: Among 3037 women, 1629 (53.6%) were treated with primary cytoreductive surgery, 554 (18.2%) with NACT, and 854 (28.1%) received no treatment. Use of NACT increased from 9.5% to 29.2%. After NACT, interval hysterectomy was performed in 159 (28.6%), while within the PCS group, 1052 (64.6%) received chemotherapy. Extended cytoreductive procedures were performed in 71.7% of women who received NACT vs. 79.1% after PCS (P = 0.03). The complication rate was 52.8% for NACT versus 56.2% for PCS (P = 0.42); medical complications were more frequently seen in the PCS group (39.4% versus 28.9%; P = 0.01). There was no difference in cancer specific (P = 0.48) or overall survival (P = 0.25) in women who received both chemotherapy and surgery regardless of whether the initial treatment was NACT or PCS. CONCLUSION: Use of NACT is increasing for advanced stage uterine cancer. There was no difference in survival between NACT and primary cytoreductive surgery and NACT was associated with fewer perioperative medical complications.

OBJECTIVE: To externally validate the performance of the Mayo triage algorithm applied to treatment strategy management in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC) patients. METHODS: AEOC patients who underwent primary debulking surgery (PDS) were included and were divided into two groups based on the Mayo triage algorithm: "high risk" and "triage appropriate". The surgery outcomes and complications of the patients were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: 179 consecutive AEOC patients were enrolled for analysis, including 32 patients in the high-risk group and 147 patients in the triage-appropriate group. The results showed that patients in the high-risk group were older, had worse physical status and had lower preoperative serum albumin than those in the triage-appropriate group (P<0.01). The high-risk group had a lower proportion of women who underwent intermediate/high complexity surgery (38% vs. 72%, P<0.01) as well as a lower proportion of women who underwent optimal resection (50% vs. 71%, P<0.05). Furthermore, the incidence of 30-day complications (28% vs. 5%, P<0.01) and the proportion of patients who were unable to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy after PDS (22% vs. 2%, P<0.01) were both significantly higher in the high-risk group than in the triage-appropriate group. In addition, compared to the triage-appropriate group, the 90-day mortality rate in the high-risk group was also notably higher, but the difference was not statistically significant (6% vs. 1%, P=0.15). CONCLUSION: The validity of the Mayo triage algorithm for treatment decision-making in AEOC was externally confirmed in this study. This short-term complication assessment tool could be effectively used for the individualized primary management of high-risk AEOC patients. The feasibility of the Mayo triage algorithm for use in long-term management should be further explored.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of non-exenterative secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) compared with non-surgical treatments and identify predictors of improved survival for patients with recurrent endometrial cancer (EC). METHODS: All patients undergoing primary surgical management for EC 1/1/2009-12/31/2017 who subsequently developed recurrence were retrospectively identified. Survival was determined from date of diagnosis of first recurrence to last follow-up and estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Differences in survival were analyzed using Log-rank and Wald tests, based on Cox Proportional Hazards model. RESULTS: Among 376 patients with recurrent EC, median time to recurrence was 14.3 months (range, 0.2-102.2), post-recurrence median survival 29 months, median follow-up 29.2 months (range, 0-116). Sixty-one patients (16.2%) received SCS, 257 (68.4%) medical management (MM) (chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy), 32 (8.5%) hormonal therapy, 26 (6.9%) no further therapy. Patients selected for SCS were younger, had more endometrioid histology, more stage I disease at initial diagnosis, no residual disease after primary surgery, longer interval to first recurrence or progression, and the longest OS (57.6 months) (95% CI, 33.3-not reached). On multivariate analysis SCS was an independent predictor of improved survival. Among the 61 SCS patients, age < 70 at time of initial diagnosis, and endometrioid histology, were associated with improved post-relapse survival univariately (p = 0.008, 0.03, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: While MM was the most common treatment for first recurrence of EC, patients selected for surgery demonstrated the greatest survival benefit even after controlling for tumor size, site, histology, stage, time to recurrence. Careful patient selection and favorable tumor factors likely play a major role in improved outcomes. Surgical management should be considered whenever feasible in medically eligible patients, with additional consideration given to our suggested criteria.

OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe clinicopathologic and surgical factors associated with oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing tertiary cytoreduction and to present a clinical model to identify patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) who may benefit most from tertiary cytoreduction. METHODS: We retrospectively identified patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who underwent tertiary cytoreduction at our institution from 1/1/1990-1/1/2019. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate survival and compared using the log-rank test. Cox-proportional hazards regression was used to detect variables associated with survival. RESULTS: Of 114 patients who met inclusion criteria, 79 (69.2%) had high-grade serous tumors. Of patients with available genetic testing (n = 66), 22 (33%) harbored germline or somatic BRCA mutations. Fifty-eight women (50.9%) died of disease. Complete gross resection (CGR) at tertiary cytoreduction, treatment-free interval (TFI), and platinum sensitivity were all significantly associated with disease-specific survival (DSS) and maintained significance on multivariate analysis (HR 3.71, 95% CI: 1.59-8.70; HR 0.49, 95% CI: 0.28-0.85; and HR 2.94, 95% CI: 1.22-7.07, respectively). Postoperative treatment was not associated with a survival difference. Patients with HGSOC and a single site of recurrence who were ≥2 years from secondary cytoreduction had the longest survival after tertiary cytoreduction (median DSS, 79.5 months). CONCLUSIONS: Proper patient selection for tertiary cytoreduction is essential. Those who achieve CGR likely derive the greatest benefit from tertiary surgery. Platinum sensitivity and prolonged TFI are also associated with improved DSS. Patients with HGSOC and single-site recurrence who were ≥2 years out from secondary cytoreduction had the longest DSS.

PURPOSE: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) added with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can improve the survival rate of certain patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM). However, the perioperative safety and long-term survival of this intricate and possibly life-threatening procedure in elderly patients (≥65 years) remain controversial. METHODS: Patients with PM due to appendiceal or colorectal tumours who underwent CRS/HIPEC were evaluated systematically at the National Cancer Center of China and the Huanxing Cancer Hospital between June 2017 and June 2019. The recruited subjects were retrospectively categorized into elderly (age ≥65) and non-elderly (age<65) groups according to their age. Clinical and pathological features, postoperative outcomes, and prognoses were gathered and analysed. RESULTS: Both groups had similar overall morbidity (56.0% vs 38.7%, P=0.130) and grade 3/4 morbidity (28.0% vs 20.0%, P=0.403) after CRS/HIPEC. However, more patients in the elderly group suffered from ileus postoperatively (16.0% vs 2.6%, P=0.033). After a follow-up period of a median of 20 months, it was concluded that elderly patients had significantly worse 3-year overall survival (OS) than non-elderly patients (16.3% vs 51.4%, P=0.001). Independent prognostic factors were identified to be a high peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score (HR, 1.10, 95% CI, 1.04-1.16; P=0.001) and age ≥65 (HR, 2.42, 95% CI, 1.32-4.45; P=0.004) were independent prognostic factors through cox regression analysis. CONCLUSION: CRS and HIPEC are related with an elevated prevalence of postoperative ileus but not with the overall morbidity or the grade 3/4 morbidity in elderly patients. However, since worse survival outcomes were observed more commonly in elderly patients compared to younger patients from CRS+HIPEC, this complex and potentially life-threatening procedure should be considered carefully in patients aged ≥65 years.

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a special pathological type of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). We conducted this research to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of OCCC and to provide additional supporting evidence to aid in the clinical diagnosis and management. METHODS: This was a retrospective study investigating the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of 86 patients with OCCC treated at our center between January 2010 and March 2020. Survival analysis was also performed on 179 patients with OCCC obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registry database. RESULTS: The median age of participants was 49.21 ± 9.91 years old, and 74.42% of them were diagnosed at early stage. The median CA125 level was 601.48 IU/mL, while 19.77% of the patients had normal CA125 levels. Sixteen patients (18.60%) had co-existing endometriosis and 8 patients (9.3%) developed venous thromboembolism (VTE). There were 5 patients received suboptimal cytoreduction. Sixty-six patients (76.74%) underwent lymphadenectomy, and only 3 (4.55%) patients had positive lymph nodes. Patients diagnosed at an early stage had higher 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates than those with advanced stage OCCC. CA19-9 (P = 0.025) and ascites (P = 0.001) were significantly associated with OS, while HE4 (P = 0.027) and ascites (P = 0.001) were significantly associated with PFS. Analysis of data from the SEER database showed that positive lymph nodes is also an independent prognostic factor for OS (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: OCCC often presents at an early stage and young age with a mildly elevated CA125. CA19-9, HE4, massive ascites, and positive lymph node are independent prognostic factors.

BACKGROUND: CRS with HIPEC is a complex operation that has shown survival benefit in patients with a variety of primary and metastatic peritoneal surface malignancies. While optimal oncologic and perioperative outcomes have been defined by expert consensus and demonstrated at university-affiliated, academic centers, similar results have never been presented from a non-university-affiliated, community center in the literature to date. METHODS: All cases of CRS with HIPEC performed at a non-university-affiliated, community center were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Oncologic and perioperative outcomes were compared Chicago Working Group benchmarks and with results from university-affiliated, academic centers recently published in high-impact-factor, peer-reviewed journals. RESULTS: All 112 cases completed over 5 years were reviewed. 3 were excluded from analysis since they were palliative HIPEC procedures for distressing ascites-related symptoms only without CRS. A wide variety of tumors were treated. Average PCI was 18±9.1. Median PCI was 14. CC 0-1 was achieved in 89% of patients. Average length of stay was 11.6±9.3 days. Serious perioperative morbidity, defined as a Clavien-Dindo Grade III or IV complication, was observed in 22% of patients. The frequency of major complications decreased after the first year. There were no perioperative deaths. CONCLUSIONS: Optimal oncologic and perioperative outcomes of CRS and HIPEC are attainable at a non universityaffiliated, community center. A multidisciplinary team and high clinical volume are necessary to obtain these results.

INTRODUCTION: The Dutch Gynecological Oncology Audit (DGOA) was initiated in 2014 to serve as a nationwide audit, which registers the four most prevalent gynecological malignancies. This study presents the first results of clinical auditing for ovarian cancer in the Netherlands. METHODS: The Dutch Gynecological Oncology Audit is facilitated by the Dutch Institute of Clinical Auditing (DICA) and run by a scientific committee. Items are collected through a web-based registration based on a set of predefined quality indicators. Results of quality indicators are shown, and benchmarked information is given back to the user. Data verification was done in 2016. RESULTS: Between January 01, 2014 and December 31, 2018, 6535 patients with ovarian cancer were registered. The case ascertainment was 98.3% in 2016. The number of patients with ovarian cancer who start therapy within 28 days decreased over time from 68.7% in 2014 to 62.7% in 2018 (pâ¯<â¯0.001). The percentage of patients with primary cytoreductive surgery decreased over time (57.8%-39.7%, Pâ¯<â¯0.001). However, patients with complete primary cytoreductive surgery improved over time (53.5%-69.1%, Pâ¯<â¯0.001). Other quality indicators did not significantly change over time. CONCLUSION: The Dutch Gynecological Oncology Audit provides valuable data on the quality of care on patients with ovarian cancer in the Netherlands. Data show variation between hospitals with regard to pre-determined quality indicators. Results of 'best practices' will be shared with all participants of the clinical audit with the aim of improving quality of care nationwide.

BACKGROUND: In Ethiopia, severe lymphedema and acute dermato-lymphangio-adenitis (ADLA) of the legs as a consequence of podoconiosis affects approximately 1.5 million people. In some this condition may lead to woody-hard fibrotic nodules, which are resistant to conventional treatment. We present a series of patients who underwent surgical nodulectomy in a resource-limited setting and their outcome. METHODS: In two teaching hospitals, we offered surgical nodulectomies under local anaesthesia to patients with persisting significant fibrotic nodules due to podoconiosis. Excisions after nodulectomy were left to heal by secondary intention with compression bandaging. As outcome, we recorded time to re-epithelialization after surgery, change in number of ADLA episodes, change in quality of life measured with the Dermatology Quality of Live Index (DQLI) questionnaire, and recurrence rate one year after surgery. RESULTS: 37nodulectomy operations were performed on 21 patients. All wounds re-reepithelialised within 21 days (range 17-42). 4 patients developed clinically relevant wound infections. The DLQI values were significantly better six months after surgery than before surgery (P<0.0001). Also the number of ADLA episodes per three months was significantly lower six months after surgery than before surgery (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION: Nodulectomy in podoconiosis patients leads to a significant improvement in the quality of life with no serious complications, and we recommend this to be a standard procedure in resource-poor settings.

BACKGROUND: Many patients with gastric cancer present with late stage disease. Palliative gastrectomy remains a contentious intervention aiming to debulk tumour and prevent or treat complications such as gastric outlet obstruction, perforation and bleeding. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of the literature for all papers describing palliative resections for gastric cancer and reporting peri-operative or survival outcomes. Data from peri-operative and survival outcomes were meta-analysed using random effects modelling. Survival data from patients undergoing palliative resections, non-resective surgery and palliative chemotherapy were also combined. This study was registered with the PROSPERO database (CRD42019159136). RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-eight papers which included 58,675 patients contributed data. At 1 year, there was a significantly improved survival in patients who underwent palliative gastrectomy when compared to non-resectional surgery and no treatment. At 2 years following treatment, palliative gastrectomy was associated with significantly improved survival compared to chemotherapy only; however, there was no significant improvement in survival compared to patients who underwent non-resectional surgery after 1 year. Palliative resections were associated with higher rates of overall complications versus non-resectional surgery (OR 2.14; 95% CI, 1.34, 3.46; p < 0.001). However, palliative resections were associated with similar peri-operative mortality rates to non-resectional surgery. CONCLUSION: Palliative gastrectomy is associated with a small improvement in survival at 1 year when compared to non-resectional surgery and chemotherapy. However, at 2 and 3 years following treatment, survival benefits are less clear. Any survival benefits come at the expense of increased major and overall complications.
