Correlation between Surgeon's assessment and radiographic evaluation of residual disease in women with advanced stage ovarian cancer reported to have undergone optimal surgical cytoreduction: An NRG Oncology/Gynecologic Oncology Group study

Abstract: Among patients reported to have undergone optimal cytoreduction, 40% were found to have lesions >1cm on postoperative, pretreatment imaging. Although inflammatory changes and/or rapid tumor regrowth could account for the discordance, the impact on PFS and distribution of RD may suggest underestimation by the operating surgeon.

“…Our findings are in agreement with a recent report by the NRG Oncology investigators . Similar to our work, this group performed a retrospective analysis of a prospective trial of bevacizumab to determine concordance between surgical assessment of residual disease and pretreatment CT imaging.…”

“…In ROSiA, lymph nodes were the site most commonly observed to have lesions by imaging in patients with surgeon‐reported NVR. In GOG‐0218, large residual masses were most often detected in para‐aortic lymph nodes, the right upper quadrant (including the liver and diaphragm), and the left upper quadrant (including the spleen and diaphragm) . Residual disease measuring >1 cm was reported most commonly in the right upper quadrant and central abdomen in Chi et al's series and the central abdomen and left upper quadrant in Sala et al's study.…”

“…This was not in accordance with current recommendations, since almost 10% of patients with SL were not R0 at the end of surgery. R0, even for an expert surgeon according to the study by Eskander et al, had 40% mismatch between surgeon and CT study [ 38 ]. In our series, a high CA 125 level at diagnosis was a poor prognostic factor for OS (HR = 1.5, 95% CI 1–2.4, p < 0.007; and HR = 1.9, 95% CI 1.1–3.1, p = 0.01 in uni- and multivariate analyses, respectively).…”

“…This may indicate that surgical evaluation is influenced by subjective criteria or that it does not include a full examination of the peritoneal cavity in older (≥75 years) and/or frailer women. The question of subjective operative assessment of residual disease at the end of an intervention was reported in other studies, although not specifically linked to age [23][24][25]. Ezkander et al analyzed 639 women who underwent primary surgery for stage III ovarian cancer and who had been evaluated as having achieved an optimal outcome (residual disease ≤1 cm) by the surgeons [23].…”
