Does debulking surgery improve survival in biologically aggressive ovarian carcinoma?

Abstract:

:Aggressive tumor reduction surgery has been widely used in patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian carcinoma before initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy. No randomized controlled trial has been carried out to confirm the benefits of such procedures. To examine the role of cytoreductive surgery in the management of stage 2 and 3 patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma treated with postoperative adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, survival analysis was carried out on patients with initial microscopic disease documented on staging laparotomies, patients with large volume of disease at time of exploration and tumor reduced to microscopic residuals, and patients who were suboptimally debulked with more than 2-cm residual disease. Twenty-four, 81, and 191 patients were identified from a computerized data base, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates showed that 62% with initial microscopic residual are alive with no evidence of disease at 5 years and 56% of patients left with microscopic residuals after tumor reduction are alive and well at 5 years. There was no statistical significant difference between these two groups. The groups are equivalent with respect to known adverse prognostic factors. In contrast, 5-year survival in the suboptimal debulked group was significantly lower at 15%. Debulking surgery to achieve microscopic residual disease improved the prognosis in patients with initial large volume of disease. Survival was similar to survival in patients with microscopic disease at time of exploration. The beneficial effect may be attributed to the removal of chemoresistant clones in bulky tumors. Tumor reduction surgery remains important in the management of advanced stage epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
