Fertility-sparing surgery and oncologic outcome among patients with early-stage ovarian cancer ~propensity score- matched analysis~.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to investigate how much the risks of recurrence and death are increased as a consequence of selecting fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) in young women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Methods

After a central pathological review and search of the medical records from 14 collaborating hospitals, a non-randomized, observational cohort study was conducted between 1987 and 2015, including 1183 women with stage I EOC. Finally, a total of 285 patients with stage I EOC at reproductive age were recruited. Oncologic outcomes were compared between the FSS (N = 101) and radical surgery (RS) group (N = 184) using a propensity score (PS)-matching technique to adjust for relevant risk factors: the age, substage, histological type, grade, CA125 values, ascites cytology, ascites volume, and chemotherapy.

Results

During 66.0 months (median) of follow-up, 42 patients (14.7%) developed recurrence, and 31 patients (10.9%) died. In the original cohort, there was no significant difference in overall survival (OS) or recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the FSS and RS groups {Log-rank: OS (P = 0.838), RFS (P = 0.377)}. In the PS-matched cohort after adjustment for multiple clinicopathologic factors, there was no significant difference in RFS or OS between the FSS and RS groups {RFS (FSS vs. RS), HR: 1.262 (95% CI: 0.559-2.852), P = 0. 575; OS (FSS vs. RS), HR: 1.206 (95% CI: 0.460-3.163), P = 0.704}.

Conclusions

After adjustment for clinicopathologic factors, FSS in itself may not worsen the oncologic outcome in young women with early-stage EOC. A large-scale clinical study is necessary to validate the findings.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the outcomes of the first pregnancy after fertility-sparing surgery in patients treated for early-stage ovarian cancer.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study of women aged 18-45 years with a history of stage IA or IC ovarian cancer reported to the California Cancer Registry for the years 2000-2012. These data were linked to the 2000-2012 California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development birth and discharge data sets to ascertain oncologic characteristics and obstetric outcomes. We included in the case group ovarian cancer patients who conceived at least 3 months after fertility-sparing surgery. The primary outcome was preterm birth, and only the first pregnancy after cancer diagnosis was considered. Secondary outcomes included small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates, neonatal morbidity (respiratory support within 72 hours after birth, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, seizures, infection, meconium aspiration syndrome, birth trauma, and intracranial or subgaleal hemorrhage), and severe maternal morbidity as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Propensity scores were used to match women in a 1:2 ratio for the case group and the control group. Wald statistics and logistic regressions were used to evaluate outcomes.ResultsA total of 153 patients who conceived after fertility-sparing surgery were matched to 306 women in a control group. Histologic types included epithelial (55%), germ-cell (37%), and sex-cord stromal (7%). Treatment for ovarian cancer was not associated with preterm birth before 37 weeks of gestation (13.7% vs 11.4%; odds ratio [OR] 1.23, 95% CI 0.69-2.20), SGA neonates (birth weight less than the 10th percentile: 11.8% vs 12.7%; OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.50-1.66), severe maternal morbidity (2.6% vs 1.3%; OR 2.03, 95% CI 0.50-8.25), or neonatal morbidity (both 5.9% OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.44-2.28).ConclusionPatients who conceived at least 3 months after surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer did not have an increased risk of adverse obstetric outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundFertility-sparing surgery (FSS) has been widely used for patients with early-stage mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC). However, there is limited evidence regarding the reproductive outcomes as well as the impact of growth pattern on oncological outcomes after FSS. This study aims to evaluate the oncological and reproductive outcomes of patients with stage I primary MOC after FSS.MethodsThis retrospective study enrolled 159 women with histologically confirmed unilateral stage I MOC treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 1997 and 2019. Sixty-seven cases were pathologically reviewed for the growth pattern. Seventy-eight patients had FSS, defined as conservation of the uterus and at least part of one ovary, while 81 underwent radical surgery (RS). Oncofertility outcomes were compared between the groups and clinicopathological factors associated with disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. Patients in the FSS group were contacted to collect data on reproductive outcomes.ResultsEighteen patients developed recurrent disease during a median follow-up of 69 months, including 12 in the FSS and six in the RS group. There was one death each in the FSS and RS groups. There was no significant difference in DFS between the groups. CA125 >35 U/ml, stage IC, and incomplete staging were correlated with worse DFS according to multivariate analysis (P=0.001; 0.020 (stage IC) and 0.004 (incomplete staging) respectively). There was no significant difference in DFS between patients with stage IA and stage IC1 in the FSS group, while DFS was poorer in patients with stage IC2/3 than stage IA (P=0.028). In addition, DFS was significantly poorer in patients who underwent unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO) compared with those receiving USO plus staging surgery (P=0.015). There was a tendency towards poorer DFS in the infiltrative tumors compared with the expansile tumors (P=0.056). Of 23 patients who attempted to conceive, 21 (91.3%) achieved 27 pregnancies, including 26 spontaneous pregnancies and one following assisted reproductive technology. Twenty patients gave birth to 24 healthy babies, including 21 full-term and three premature births. The live-birth rate was 88.9%.ConclusionsFSS is a suitable option for young women with unilateral stage I expansile MOC, with acceptable oncological outcomes and meaningful pregnancy rates. Re-staging should be proposed in patients who undergo incomplete staging surgery.
