RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To develop a pre-operative tool to estimate the risk of peri-operative packed red blood cell transfusion in primary debulking surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed an institutional database to identify patients who underwent primary debulking surgery for ovarian cancer at a single center between January 1, 2001 and May 31, 2019. Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated. Five-fold cross-validation was applied to the multivariate model. Significant variables were assigned a 'BLOODS' (BLood transfusion Over an Ovarian cancer Debulking Surgery) score of +1 if present. A total BLOODS score was calculated for each patient, and the odds of receiving a transfusion was determined for each score. RESULTS: Overall, 1566 patients met eligibility criteria; 800 (51%) underwent a peri-operative blood transfusion. Odds ratios (OR) were statistically significant for American Society of Anesthesiologists scores of 3 and 4 (OR 1.34, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.09 to 1.63), pre-operative levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) (OR 2.43, 95% CI 1.98 to 2.99), platelets (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.45 to 1.74), obesity (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.96), presence of carcinomatosis (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.93 to 3.11), bulky upper abdominal disease (OR 2.86, 95% CI 2.32 to 3.54), pre-operative serum albumin level (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.40), and pre-operative hemoglobin level (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.61). The corrected AUC was 0.748 (95% CI 0.693 to 0.804). BLOODS scores of 0 and 5 corresponded to 11% and 73% odds, respectively, of receiving a peri-operative blood transfusion. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a universal pre-operative scoring system, the BLOODS score, to help identify patients with ovarian cancer who would benefit from surgical planning and blood-saving techniques. The BLOODS score was directly proportional to the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, presence of upper abdominal disease, carcinomatosis, CA125 level, and platelets level. We believe this model can help physicians with surgical planning and can benefit patient outcomes.

Whole-genome doubling (WGD) is a critical driver of tumor development and is linked to drug resistance and metastasis in solid malignancies. Here, we demonstrate that WGD is an ongoing mutational process in tumor evolution. Using single-cell whole-genome sequencing, we measured and modeled how WGD events are distributed across cellular populations within tumors and associated WGD dynamics with properties of genome diversification and phenotypic consequences of innate immunity. We studied WGD evolution in 65 high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) tissue samples from 40 patients, yielding 29,481 tumor cell genomes. We found near-ubiquitous evidence of WGD as an ongoing mutational process promoting cell-cell diversity, high rates of chromosomal missegregation, and consequent micronucleation. Using a novel mutation-based WGD timing method, doubleTime , we delineated specific modes by which WGD can drive tumor evolution: (i) unitary evolutionary origin followed by significant diversification, (ii) independent WGD events on a pre-existing background of copy number diversity, and (iii) evolutionarily late clonal expansions of WGD populations. Additionally, through integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and high-resolution immunofluorescence microscopy, we found that inflammatory signaling and cGAS-STING pathway activation result from ongoing chromosomal instability and are restricted to tumors that remain predominantly diploid. This contrasted with predominantly WGD tumors, which exhibited significant quiescent and immunosuppressive phenotypic states. Together, these findings establish WGD as an evolutionarily 'active' mutational process that promotes evolvability and dysregulated immunity in late stage ovarian cancer.
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.

OBJECTIVES: To compare oncologic outcomes of secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) before and after FDA approval of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) and bevacizumab maintenance therapies for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PS-ROC). METHODS: Patients who underwent SCS for first recurrence of PS-ROC from 1/1/2013-1/1/2020 were identified. Exclusion criteria included prior chemotherapy for recurrence, bowel obstruction procedures, and palliative surgery. Data were dichotomized pre/post 1/2017, relative to FDA approval of PARPi and bevacizumab maintenance for ROC. Second progression-free survival (PFS2), the primary endpoint, was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Overall, 245 patients underwent SCS-131 (53%) pre- and 114 (47%) post-approval. Most patients had high-grade serous tumors (83% and 90%, respectively; p = 0.13). Deleterious BRCA1/2 alterations were identified in 27% (32/120) and 28% (32/113) of tested patients, respectively (p = 0.88). Disease-free intervals pre- and post-approval were: 6-12 months, 16% and 18%; 12-30 months, 56% and 59%; and >30 months, 28% and 24%, respectively (p = 0.73). Overall, 85% and 86% of patients, respectively, achieved complete gross resection (CGR; p > 0.99). PARPi maintenance use increased from 3.8% to 27% (p < 0.001) following approval, and bevacizumab from 1.5% to 12% (p < 0.001). Median PFS2 was 19 and 20.1 months, respectively. In the post group, 1-year PFS2 rate was 84.5% (95% CI, 75.7-90.4%) for patients with CGR vs 56.2% (95% CI, 29.5-76.2%) for those with residual disease; 3-year PFS2 rates were 31.3% (95% CI, 21.6-41.4%) and 12.5% (95% CI, 2.1-32.8%), respectively (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: CGR during SCS is associated with improved PFS2 compared to suboptimal resection. Prospective randomized trials are warranted to elucidate the role of SCS as more therapeutics become available.

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer with extensive metastatic disease involving pelvic structures often requires rectosigmoid resection for complete gross resection; however, it is associated with increased surgical morbidity. There are limited data, and none in ovarian cancer, on near-infrared assessment of perfusion in rectosigmoid resections with anastomosis. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To compare the rate of pelvic complications (pelvic abscesses, anastomotic leaks, and infections) within 30 days of surgery with and without near-infrared assessment of perfusion at time of rectosigmoid resection and re-anastomosis in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer. STUDY HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesize the use of near-infrared technology (intravenous indocyanine green and endoscopic near-infrared fluorescence imaging), compared with standard intra-operative assessment, to evaluate anastomotic perfusion at time of rectosigmoid resection and re-anastomosis will result in lower rates of post-operative pelvic complications. TRIAL DESIGN: This is a planned multicenter randomized controlled trial. Patients who undergo rectosigmoid resection as part of their ovarian cytoreductive surgery will be randomized 1:1 to standard assessment of anastomosis with the surgeon's usual technique (control arm) or assessment with near-infrared angiography using indocyanine green and endoscopic fluorescence imaging (experimental arm). Randomization will occur after rectosigmoid resection has been completed and the surgeon declares their plan to create a diverting ostomy. Randomization will be stratified by plan for diverting ostomy. MAJOR INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Main inclusion criteria include patients with primary or recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are scheduled for cytoreductive surgery with suspected need for low-anterior rectosigmoid resection. PRIMARY ENDPOINT: Rate of 30-day post-operative pelvic complications. SAMPLE SIZE: 310 (155 per arm) ESTIMATED DATES FOR COMPLETING ACCRUAL AND PRESENTING RESULTS: Q2 2027 and Q4 2027, respectively. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT04878094.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the theoretical impact of regionalizing cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer (OC) to high-volume facilities on patient travel. METHODS: We retrospectively identified patients with OC who underwent cytoreduction between 1/1/2004-12/31/2018 from the New York State Cancer Registry and Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System. Hospitals were stratified by low-volume (<21 cytoreductive surgical procedures for OC annually) and high-volume centers (≥21 procedures annually). A simulation was performed; outcomes of interest were driving distance and time between the centroid of the patient's residence zip code and the treating facility zip code. RESULTS: Overall, 60,493 patients met inclusion criteria. Between 2004 and 2018, 210 facilities were performing cytoreductive surgery for OC in New York; 159 facilities (75.7%) met low-volume and 51 (24.3%) met high-volume criteria. Overall, 10,514 patients (17.4%) were treated at low-volume and 49,979 (82.6%) at high-volume facilities. In 2004, 78.2% of patients were treated at high-volume facilities, which increased to 84.6% in 2018 (P < .0001). Median travel distance and time for patients treated at high-volume centers was 12.2 miles (IQR, 5.6-25.5) and 23.0 min (IQR, 15.2-37.0), and 8.2 miles (IQR, 3.7-15.9) and 16.8 min (IQR, 12.4-26.0) for patients treated at low-volume centers. If cytoreductive surgery was centralized to high-volume centers, median distance and time traveled for patients originally treated at low-volume centers would be 11.2 miles (IQR, 3.8-32.3; P < .001) and 20.2 min (IQR, 13.6-43.0; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Centralizing cytoreductive surgery for OC to high-volume centers in New York would increase patient travel burden by negligible amounts of distance and time for most patients.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of performing procedural interventions, defined as surgical resection, tumor ablation, or targeted radiation therapy, for oligoprogressive disease among patients with gynecologic malignancies who are treated with immune checkpoint blockade. METHODS: Patients with gynecologic cancers treated with immune checkpoint blockade between January 2013 and October 2021 who underwent procedural interventions including surgical resection, interventional radiology ablation, or radiation therapy for oligoprogressive disease were identified. Procedures performed before immune checkpoint therapy initiation or ≥6 months after therapy completion were excluded. Long immunotherapy duration prior to intervention was defined as ≥6 months. Progression-free survival and overall survival were calculated from procedure date until disease progression or death, respectively. RESULTS: During the study period, 886 patients met inclusion criteria and received immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Of these, 34 patients underwent procedural interventions for oligoprogressive disease; 7 underwent surgical resection, 3 underwent interventional radiology ablation, and 24 underwent radiation therapy interventions. Primary disease sites included uterus (71%), ovary (24%), and cervix (6%). Sites of oligoprogression included abdomen/pelvis (26%), bone (21%), lung (18%), distant lymph node (18%), brain (9%), liver (6%), and vagina (3%). Most tumors (76%) did not exhibit microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency. Approximately half (53%) of the patients had long immune checkpoint therapy duration prior to intervention. Median progression-free survival following the procedure was 5.3 months (95% CI, 3.1-9.9), and median overall survival was 21.7 months (95% CI, 14.9-not estimable). Long versus short immune checkpoint therapy duration prior to procedure and length of immune checkpoint therapy had no effect on progression-free or overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Procedural interventions for patients with oligoprogression on immune checkpoint blockade therapy are feasible and demonstrate favorable outcomes. With expanding use of immune checkpoint therapy, it is important to investigate combined modalities to maximize therapeutic benefit for patients with gynecologic cancers.

OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the safety and feasibility of therapeutic anticoagulation for newly diagnosed venous thromboembolism among women who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS: A retrospective study using data extrapolated from a prospectively maintained institutional database was used to identify all patients with ovarian cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy from April 2015 through September 2018 at our institution. All patients who received therapeutic anticoagulation for newly diagnosed venous thromboembolism at initial diagnosis or during neoadjuvant chemotherapy were included. RESULTS: Of 290 patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer during the study period, 67 (23%) had newly diagnosed venous thromboembolism at the time of initial diagnosis or developed venous thromboembolism during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Of these 67 patients, 64 (96%) received therapeutic anticoagulation. A total of 13 (20%) of 64 patients who underwent therapeutic anticoagulation experienced a bleeding episode while on anticoagulation; 4 (31%) of the 13 events were of major severity. Three patients developed major internal bleeding in the peritoneal cavity, and one patient suffered from a major vaginal bleeding episode. All four patients were hospitalized (range, 5-11 days) and received ≥2 units of red blood cells for anemia. None of these patients died from fatal bleeding or had to delay starting chemotherapy. Of note, all four patients received low-molecular-weight heparin via subcutaneous injection. Overall, 13 (20%) of 64 patients required an anticoagulant dose reduction, mostly due to weight loss or new bleeding episodes. CONCLUSION: Therapeutic anticoagulation in this setting appeared safe, with a low risk of major bleeding complications. Furthermore, anticoagulation did not result in delay of chemotherapy or cytoreductive surgery.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of short-term postoperative complications on oncologic outcomes for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) or interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) with intestinal resection. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed for patients with ovarian cancer who underwent PCS or ICS with at least one intestinal resection at our institution from 1/1/2015 to 12/31/2020. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed for the PCS and ICS cohorts separately. Short-term complications within 30 days of surgery (surgical secondary events [SSEs]) were graded by a validated institutional SSE system. RESULTS: Among 437 patients who underwent intestinal resections during PCS (n = 289) or ICS (n = 148), 183 (42%) had one, 180 (41%) had two, and 74 (17%) had three intestinal resections. Six (1.4%) of 437 patients experienced an anastomotic leak postoperatively. There were no perioperative deaths. There was no difference in PFS and OS for patients who underwent PCS with any SSE vs. no SSE within 30 days of surgery (HR, 1.05; 95% CI: 0.76-1.47; p = 0.75 and HR, 0.79; 95% CI: 0.49-1.26; p = 0.32, respectively). There was no difference in PFS and OS for patients who underwent ICS with any SSE vs. no SSE within 30 days of surgery (HR, 1.43; 95% CI: 0.99-2.07; p = 0.055 and HR. 1.18; 95% CI: 0.72-1.93; p = 0.52, respectively. CONCLUSION: Short-term postoperative morbidity for patients who underwent intestinal surgery during primary surgical management for advanced ovarian cancer did not impact oncologic outcomes.

PURPOSE: To evaluate rates of germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PVs) and genetic counseling by ancestry in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). METHODS: Patients with pathologically confirmed EOC who underwent clinical tumor-normal sequencing from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2020, inclusive of germline analysis of ≥76 genes were included. Patients with newly identified PVs were referred for Clinical Genetics Service (CGS) counseling. Ancestry groups were defined using self-reported race/ethnicity and Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) heritage. Genetic ancestry was inferred computationally using validated algorithms. Logistic regression models were built. RESULTS: Of 1,266 patients, self-reported ancestry (AJ, 17%; Asian, 10%; Black/African American, 5.4%; Hispanic, 6.2%; non-Hispanic White, 57%; other, 0.16%; unknown, 4.0%) correlated with genetic ancestry (AJ ancestry, 18%; admixed, 10%; African, 4%; East Asian [EAS], 6%; European, 56%; Native American, 0.2%; South Asian [SAS], 4%; unknown, 2%). Germline PVs were observed in 313 (25%) patients, including 195 (15%) with PVs in EOC-associated genes. Those with PVs were younger at diagnosis (59 v 62 years; P < .001) and more likely to have high-grade serous ovarian cancer (83% v 72%; P = .009). PV prevalence varied between ancestry groups (P < .001), with highest rates in the AJ (39.9%) and Asian (26.5%) groups and similar rates (>10%) across other ancestry groups. Use of genetic ancestry demonstrated similar findings and further characterized high rates of PV in EAS/SAS groups. Younger age, high-grade serous histology, and self-reported AJ or Asian ancestry were associated with PV in an EOC-associated gene. Rates of CGS counseling for newly identified PVs were high (80%) across ancestry groups. CONCLUSION: Rates of PV, particularly in EOC-associated genes, were high regardless of ancestry, with similar rates of counseling between groups, emphasizing the importance of universal genetic testing in all patients with EOC.

OBJECTIVES: To compare outcomes of patients with high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who underwent secondary cytoreduction surgery (SCS) after up-front treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (NACT-IDS) versus primary debulking surgery (PDS). METHODS: Patients with high-grade EOC who underwent SCS from 2/1/2004-10/31/2021 were classified by up-front treatment. Clinical and treatment characteristics were compared between cohorts. Progression-free survival (PFS2) and overall survival (OS2) following SCS were compared using a Cox model adjusted for stage, age at SCS, and number of years between end of chemotherapy and SCS. RESULTS: Of 374 patients, 62 (17%) underwent NACT-IDS and 312 (83%) PDS. Justification for NACT was disease extent (n = 57, 92%), comorbidities (n = 3, 5%), and thromboembolism (n = 2, 3%). The NACT-IDS cohort had a higher median age at SCS (64 years [IQR: 56-70] vs 59 years [IQR: 53-66]; P = .03), higher proportion of stage III/IV disease (100% vs 81%; P < .001), and shorter median interval between end of chemotherapy and SCS (1.5 years [IQR: 1.1-2.3] vs 1.9 years [IQR: 1.3-3.1]; P = .01). Achievement of complete gross resection at SCS did not differ between NACT-IDS and PDS (84% vs 88%; P = .18). PFS2 (HR: 1.19, 95% CI: 0.83-1.71) and OS2 (HR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.57-1.63) did not vary by primary treatment modality after adjusting for clinically relevant covariates. CONCLUSIONS: Despite more extensive disease at presentation, patients with high-grade EOC who recur after NACT-IDS seem to have similar surgical and survival outcomes after SCS compared to patients who recur after PDS, suggesting that prior NACT-IDS should not preclude SCS.

OBJECTIVE: To describe patient-reported postoperative symptoms and to evaluate the use of digital symptom tracking and alerts to detect postoperative complications. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent a minimally invasive hysterectomy and enrolled in our Recovery Tracker program from 4/5/17-12/31/21. The Recovery Tracker is an at-home virtual tool used to track patient-reported postoperative symptoms for 10 days. Predefined thresholds for "red" and "yellow" alerts are based on symptom severity and timing. Data on patient demographics, surgery, and postoperative course were collected to evaluate the association of alerts with complications and compare outcomes of patients who did/did not enroll in the program. RESULTS: Of 2362 eligible patients, 1694 (71.7%) enrolled in the Recovery Tracker program. Pain was the most severe symptom, followed by fatigue. Eighty-seven patients experienced 102 complications (5.1% complication rate) and 32 experienced 39 grade ≥ 2 complications (1.9% severe complication rate). Excluding complications that occurred prior to Recovery Tracker use, 1673 patients experienced 28 grade ≥ 2 complications. Of 345 patients (20.6%) who triggered a red alert, 13 (3.8%) had a grade ≥ 2 complication. Of 1328 patients (79.4%) with no red alerts, 15 (1.13%) had a grade ≥ 2 complication. Relative risk of a grade ≥ 2 complication if a red alert was triggered was 3.25 (95% CI: 1.6-6.9, P = .002). Rate of severe complications was significantly higher among patients who did not use the tool (3.3% vs 1.9%; P = .04). CONCLUSIONS: The Recovery Tracker tool may assist in early identification of postoperative symptoms after minimally invasive hysterectomy.

OBJECTIVE: To assess postoperative complications after secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), we conducted an exploratory analysis of patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer enrolled in a randomized phase II trial. METHODS: Complications occurring within 30 days of surgery were graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0; only hemoglobin and platelet levels were assessed. Patients were grouped by CTCAE grade ≥ 3 and < 3 complications. RESULTS: Among 83 eligible patients, 33 (40%) had grade ≥ 3 complications and 50 (60%) had grade < 3 complications; anemia and abdominal infections were the most common. There were no perioperative mortalities. Time to initiation of postoperative chemotherapy for patients with grade ≥ 3 and grade < 3 events was 34 days (range, 18-60) and 31 days (range, 21-43), respectively (P = .017). Median progression-free survival (PFS) did not significantly differ between patients with grade ≥ 3 and grade < 3 complications (11.2 months [95% CI: 9.3-14.4] vs 14.9 months [95% CI: 11.3-16.5], respectively; P = .186), nor did median overall survival (OS) (46.9 months [95% CI: 34-NE] vs 68.2 months [95% CI: 52.1-NE], respectively; P = .053). CONCLUSION: Postoperative complications following SCS with or without HIPEC were associated with slight delays in chemotherapy initiation but did not significantly impact oncologic outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: We previously developed preoperative and pre-chemotherapy modified versions of the male International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group (IGCCCG) prognostic model and assessed it in female patients with germ cell tumors (GCTs). We sought to validate these modified IGCCCG (mIGCCCG) models in a new cohort. METHODS: We queried institutional databases for female patients with GCTs treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from 1/1/1990-6/1/2020. The mIGCCCG model classifies patients with non-dysgerminomas as good, intermediate, or poor risk based on tumor markers using male IGCCCG cutoffs and absence/presence of non-pulmonary/peritoneal visceral metastasis. In dysgerminomas, good- and intermediate-risk groups are defined by absence/presence of non-pulmonary/peritoneal visceral metastasis. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated for each group in the validation and combined original and validation cohorts. Associations between individual clinical factors and outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: Among 183 female patients with GCTs, clinical characteristics and outcomes were similar between the original (n = 93) and validation (n = 90) cohorts. In multivariable models, higher stage, older age, and non-dysgerminoma histology predicted worse PFS and OS (p < 0.05). Among 162 patients who received chemotherapy, preoperative and pre-chemotherapy mIGCCCG models were significantly associated with PFS and OS (p < 0.001 for all groups). With the preoperative model, 3-year PFS rates were 94%, 76%, and 50% in the good-, intermediate-, and poor-risk patients, respectively; OS rates were 96%, 86%, and 52%, respectively. Even within stage groups, mIGCCCG risk classifications were associated with clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: A female-specific mIGCCCG risk model effectively stratifies patients and should be incorporated into clinical trials.

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the feasibility, safety, and survival outcomes of intrathoracic cytoreduction during primary debulking surgery (PDS) for advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS: We conducted a database review of patients with stage IIIB-IV ovarian (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) carcinoma who underwent PDS at our institution from 01/01/2006-9/30/2021. Patients who underwent intrathoracic cytoreduction as part of primary treatment were included. Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or surgery for reasons other than cytoreduction were excluded. RESULTS: Among 178 patients identified for inclusion, complete gross resection (CGR) in the abdomen and thorax was achieved in 131 (74%); 45 (25%) had optimal cytoreduction, and 2 (1%) had suboptimal cytoreduction. Thirty-one patients (17%) had at least one grade ≥ 3 complication; 8 were possibly related to intrathoracic cytoreduction. There were no deaths within 30 days following surgery. Median length of follow-up among survivors was 53.4 months. Among all patients, the median PFS was 33.6 months (95% CI: 24.7-61.9) and the 3-year PFS rate was 48.9% (95% CI: 41.2%-56.2%). Median OS was 81.3 months (95% CI: 68.9-103). When stratified by residual disease status, median PFS was 51.8 months when CGR was achieved versus 16.7 months with residual disease (HR: 2.17; P < .001) and median OS was 97.6 months when CGR was achieved versus 65.9 months with residual disease (HR: 2.05; P = .003). CONCLUSIONS: Intrathoracic cytoreduction during PDS for advanced ovarian cancer is both safe and feasible. CGR can be achieved in patients with intrathoracic disease if properly selected, and could significantly improve both PFS and OS.

OBJECTIVE: To assess long-term outcomes of patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer by treatment type. METHODS: Patients with newly diagnosed stage III-IV ovarian cancer who underwent primary treatment at our tertiary cancer center from 01/01/2015-12/31/2015 were included. We reviewed electronic medical records for clinicopathological, treatment, and survival characteristics. RESULTS: Of 153 patients, 88 (58%) had stage III and 65 (42%) stage IV disease. Median follow-up was 65.8 months (range, 3.6-75.3). Eighty-nine patients (58%) underwent primary debulking surgery (PDS), 50 (33%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS), and 14 (9%) received chemotherapy alone, without surgery (NSx). Median PFS to first recurrence was 26.2 months (range, 20.1-36.2), 13.5 months (range, 12-15.1), and 4.2 months (range, 1.1-5.8) in the PDS, IDS, and NSx groups, respectively (P < .001). At first recurrence/progression, 80 patients (72.7%) were treated with chemotherapy, 28 (25.5%) underwent secondary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) followed by chemotherapy, and 2 (1.8%) received no treatment. Seven patients (4.6%) underwent palliative surgery for malignant bowel obstruction. Overall, 62.7% received 1-3 lines of chemotherapy. The 5-year OS rates were 53.2% (95% CI: 44.7%-61%) for the entire cohort, 71.5% (95% CI: 60.2%-80%) for the PDS group, 35.2% (95% CI: 22.2-48.5%) for the IDS group, and 7.9% (95% CI: 0.5%-29.9%) for the NSx group. CONCLUSION: The longitudinal treatment modalities and outcomes of patients with advanced ovarian cancer described here can be useful for patient counseling, long-term planning, and future comparison studies.

OBJECTIVES: To compare outcomes of patients with premalignant endometrial pathology undergoing hysterectomy with or without sentinel lymph node (SLN) removal. Outcomes of interest included surgical adverse events (AEs), cancer status on final pathology, postoperative treatment, and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) molecular risk profiles. METHODS: We retrospectively identified patients with premalignant pathology on preoperative endometrial biopsy who underwent hysterectomy with or without SLN mapping/excision at our institution from 01/01/2017-12/31/2021. Clinical, pathologic, surgical, and TCGA profiling data were abstracted. Appropriate statistical tests were used. RESULTS: Of 221 patients identified, 161 (73%) underwent hysterectomy with SLN excision and 60 (27%) underwent hysterectomy without SLN excision. Median age and body mass index were similar between groups. Median operative time was 130 min for those who underwent SLN mapping/excision versus 136 min for those who did not (p = 0.6). Thirty-day postoperative AE rates were 9% (n = 15/161) and 13% (n = 8/60), respectively (p = 0.9). Ninety-eight (44%) of 221 patients had grade 1-2 endometrioid endometrial cancer on final pathology (4 [4%] were stage IB or higher). Ten (10%) of 98 patients, all within the SLN group, received adjuvant treatment. Among all patients, of 33 (15%) with TCGA molecular classification data, 27 (82%) had copy number-low, 3 (9%) microsatellite instability-high, 2 (6%) POLE-ultramutated, and 1 (3%) copy number-high disease. CONCLUSIONS: SLN assessment appears safe, detects a small number of occult nodal metastases for those upstaged, and provides additional staging information that can guide adjuvant treatment. SLN mapping should be discussed in preoperative counseling and offered using a shared decision-making approach.

OBJECTIVES: We assessed a conditional probability of survival (CPS) model to determine the probability of living 10 years after ovarian cancer diagnosis after having already survived 5 years. METHODS: We identified patients newly diagnosed with high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer from 1/1/2001-12/31/2009 and treated at our institution. Patients with <3 years follow-up were excluded. CPS was defined as the probability of surviving additional years (y) based on the condition a patient had already survived a given time (x): S(x + y)/S(x). Confidence intervals were estimated using a variation of Greenwood's formula. RESULTS: Of 916 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 473 (52%) were diagnosed from 2001 to 2005 and 443 (48%) from 2006 to 2009. Median age at diagnosis was 60 years (range, 25-95). The conventional 10-year OS rate for all patients was 29% (95% CI: 26%-32%)-75% (95% CI: 68%-82%) for stage I/II disease, 22% (95% CI: 19%-26%) for stage III, and 6.9% (95% CI: 3.9%-12%) for stage IV. For patients <65 years, the 10-year CPS for 5-year survivors was 65% (95% CI: 59%-70%); for those ≥65 years, it was 48% (95% CI: 38%-57%). For patients <65 years, the 10-year CPS for 5-year survivors by stage was: stage I/II, 89% (95% CI: 81%-94%); stage III, 58% (95% CI: 50%-66%); and stage IV, 26% (95% CI: 12%-42%). For patients ≥65 years, rates by stage were 78% (95% CI: 53%-91%), 42% (95% CI: 30%-53%), and 29% (95% CI: 7%-56%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: For long-term survivors with high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer, CPS provides better prediction of survival than conventional methods.

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is an archetypal cancer of genomic instability1-4 patterned by distinct mutational processes5,6, tumour heterogeneity7-9 and intraperitoneal spread7,8,10. Immunotherapies have had limited efficacy in HGSOC11-13, highlighting an unmet need to assess how mutational processes and the anatomical sites of tumour foci determine the immunological states of the tumour microenvironment. Here we carried out an integrative analysis of whole-genome sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, digital histopathology and multiplexed immunofluorescence of 160 tumour sites from 42 treatment-naive patients with HGSOC. Homologous recombination-deficient HRD-Dup (BRCA1 mutant-like) and HRD-Del (BRCA2 mutant-like) tumours harboured inflammatory signalling and ongoing immunoediting, reflected in loss of HLA diversity and tumour infiltration with highly differentiated dysfunctional CD8+ T cells. By contrast, foldback-inversion-bearing tumours exhibited elevated immunosuppressive TGFß signalling and immune exclusion, with predominantly naive/stem-like and memory T cells. Phenotypic state associations were specific to anatomical sites, highlighting compositional, topological and functional differences between adnexal tumours and distal peritoneal foci. Our findings implicate anatomical sites and mutational processes as determinants of evolutionary phenotypic divergence and immune resistance mechanisms in HGSOC. Our study provides a multi-omic cellular phenotype data substrate from which to develop and interpret future personalized immunotherapeutic approaches and early detection research.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate postoperative and oncologic outcomes associated with pelvic exenteration for non-ovarian gynecologic malignancies. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for non-ovarian gynecologic malignancies at our institution from 1/1/2010-12/31/2019. Palliative exenteration cases were excluded from survival analysis. Postoperative complications were early (≤30 days) or late (31-180 days). Complications were graded using a validated institutional scale. Major complications were considered grade ≥ 3. Categorical variables were compared using the chi-square test, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. RESULTS: Of 100 patients identified, 89 underwent pelvic exenteration for recurrent disease, 5 for palliation, 5 for primary disease, and 1 for persistent disease. Thirty percent had cervical, 27% vulvar, 24% uterine, and 19% vaginal cancer. Sixty-two percent underwent total, 30% anterior, and 8% posterior exenteration. No deaths occurred intraoperatively or within 30 days of surgery. Six patients died after 30 days. Ninety-seven experienced a perioperative complication-49 early, 1 late, and 47 both. Fifty experienced a major complication-22 (44%) early, 19 (38%) late, and 9 (18%) both. No variables were statistically associated with complication development. The 3-year progression-free survival rate was 61.0%; the 3-year overall survival rate was 61.6%. Of 58 surviving patients, 16 (28%) and 4 (7%) were alive after 5 and 10 years, respectively. CONCLUSION: The overall complication rate for pelvic exenteration remains high. No variables demonstrated association with complication development as the rate was nearly 100%. The low rate of perioperative mortality is likely due to improved perioperative care.
