ABSTRACT: Purpose
GOG 152 was a randomized trial of secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) in patients with suboptimal residual disease (residual tumor nodule >1cm in greatest diameter) following primary cytoreductive surgery for advanced stage ovarian cancer. The current analysis was undertaken to evaluate the impact of disease findings at SCS on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Methods
Among the 550 patients enrolled on GOG-152, two-hundred-sixteen patients were randomly assigned following 3cycles of cisplatin and paclitaxel to receive SCS. In 15 patients (7%) surgery was declined or contraindicated. In the remaining 201 patients the operative and pathology reports were utilized to classify their disease status at the beginning of SCS as; no gross disease/microscopically negative N=40 (19.9%), no gross disease/microscopically positive N=8 (4.0%), and gross disease N=153 (76.1%).Results
The median PFS for patients with no gross disease/microscopically negative was 16.1months, no gross disease/microscopically positive was 13.5months and for gross disease was 11.7months, P=0.002. The median OS for patients with no gross disease/microscopically negative was 51.5months, no gross disease/microscopically positive was 42.6months and for gross disease was 34.9months, P=0.018.Conclusion
Although as previously reported SCS did not change PFS or OS, for those who underwent the procedure, their operative and pathologic findings were predictive of PFS and OS. Surgical/pathological residual disease is a biomarker of response to chemotherapy and predictive of PFS and OS.
