Retrospective analysis of sites of recurrence in stage I epithelial ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study is to investigate recurrence of stage I epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS:Six hundred two patients diagnosed with stage I epithelial ovarian cancer at 4 hospitals between 2000 and 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Age, surgical procedure, substage, histologic type, adjuvant chemotherapy, recurrence, initial recurrence site (peritoneal dissemination [P], hematogenous recurrence [H], lymphogenous recurrence [L], and others [O]), and frequency of recurrence at each site were investigated retrospectively. RESULTS:Median age was 54 years and median follow-up was 60 months. The stage was IA in 180 cases (30%), IB in 8 (1%), IC1 in 247 (41%), IC2 in 63 (10%), and IC3 in 104 (17%). Systematic lymph node dissection including both pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes was performed in 224 patients (37%), and 412 patients (68%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. Recurrence occurred in 70 patients (11.6%). The median time to recurrence was 18 months, and the stage was IA in 13 (19%), IB in 1 (1%), IC1 in 24 (34%), IC2 in 9 (13%), and IC3 in 23 (33%) cases. The numbers of recurrence at the P, H, L, and O sites, including overlapping cases, were 49 (70%), 18 (26%), 9 (13%), and 6 (9%), respectively, and recurrence by peritoneal dissemination in the pelvis occurred in 43 cases (61%). CONCLUSION:Recurrence of stage I epithelial ovarian cancer by peritoneal dissemination was frequent, especially in the pelvis. There is a need to elucidate the pathogenesis of peritoneal recurrence and to prepare a treatment strategy to prevent pelvic peritoneal recurrence.

Project description:Background:The understanding of ovarian cancer pathogenesis has recently shifted to recognize distinct changes in how ovarian cancer histotypes are defined. Using the 2014 World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic guidelines, we classified ovarian cancer histotypes in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cancer registry data and examined survival patterns by histotype and disease stage. Methods:We extracted data on 28 118 incident epithelial ovarian cancer cases diagnosed in 2004-2014 from SEER and defined histotype using the 2014 WHO guidelines (high-grade serous, low-grade serous, endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous, carcinosarcoma, and malignant Brenner tumors). By histotype and disease stage, we estimated Kaplan-Meier survival curves and calculated age-adjusted overall and cause-specific survival estimates. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate histotype-specific hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by disease stage while adjusting for age at diagnosis, region, race/ethnicity, and receipt of surgery. Results:Within two years after diagnosis, localized/regional-stage carcinosarcoma and distant-stage mucinous, clear cell, and carcinosarcoma had a higher risk of mortality compared with high-grade serous, with the most pronounced association for localized/regional carcinosarcoma (>1-2-year time period: HR = 3.81, 95% CI = 2.74 to 5.30) and distant-stage mucinous (0-1-year time period: HR = 3.87, 95% CI = 3.45 to 4.34). In the time period more than four to 10 years after diagnosis, hazard ratios for all histotypes relative to high-grade serous, irrespective of disease stage, were less than 1.00. Cumulatively, both localized/regional and distant-stage low-grade serous and endometrioid carcinomas had the most favorable outcomes. Conclusions:Our large study, which is representative of the United States population and incorporates the most current knowledge of ovarian cancer pathogenesis, highlights the need to recognize ovarian cancer as a set of distinct diseases and not a single entity. Only then will we be able to effectively target the unique features of each histotype to reduce ovarian cancer mortality.
