Clinically apparent early stage invasive epithelial ovarian carcinoma: should all be treated similarly?

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:The role of adjuvant therapy in patients with early stage ovarian carcinoma has not been clearly defined. Most randomized trials examining this issue have not used the vigorous staging exploration accepted as today's standard. This report examines the natural history of patients after surgically documented stage 1 ovarian carcinoma followed expectantly. METHODS:A retrospective chart review was carried out using strict criteria to include only patients who had an adequate staging procedure performed by gynecologic oncologists following a fixed protocol from 1987 to 1997. Patients' demographic data as well as current disease status were abstracted and analyzed. RESULTS:A total of 80 comprehensive surgical staging procedures were carried out over a 10-year period for apparent stage 1 ovarian cancer at the time of exploratory laparotomy. Fifty cases were true surgicopathological stage 1. It was found that serous and anaplastic tumors were more likely than other subtypes to be upstaged by the procedure. Further follow-up confirmed the excellent prognosis of early stage serous, endometrioid, and mucinous tumor with only one recurrence noted in an extraabdominal location in a patient with serous histology with no postoperative adjuvant therapy. Clear cell histology stands out as a significant recurrence risk (33%) despite an initially negative surgical assessment. CONCLUSION:Careful surgical exploration can identify a group of patients with early stage epithelial ovarian carcinoma who will benefit little from further adjuvant therapy. Patients with clear cell histology prove to be at a high risk for recurrence even at an early stage such that chemotherapy should be considered.
