Abstract
AbstractAimTo evaluate the effect of secondary cytoreductive surgery (SeCRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer patients.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed a prospective database. We collected information of 389 patients who were diagnosed with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. All patients underwent SeCRS with or without HIPEC. Overall survival and progression‐free survival (PFS) were used to evaluate the treatment effectiveness.ResultsOf the 389 patients collected, 123 underwent primary or interval cytoreductive surgery at initial treatment and SeCRS at recurrence (Group A), 130 underwent primary or interval cytoreductive surgery at initial and SeCRS plus HIPEC at recurrence (Group B), and 136 underwent primary or interval cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC at initial and SeCRS plus HIPEC at recurrence (Group C). The median overall survival for Groups A, B, and C were 49.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 47.6–50.5), 56.0 months (95% CI: 54.2–57.7), and 64.4 months (95% CI: 63.1–65.6), respectively. The median PFS for Groups A, B, and C were 13.1 months (95% CI: 12.6–13.5), 15.0 months (95% CI: 14.2–15.7), and 16.8 months (95% CI: 16.1–17.4), respectively. There were no significant difference in incidence and grade of adverse events among groups.ConclusionsThis study suggested that SeCRS plus HIPEC followed by chemotherapy resulted in longer overall survival and PFS than only SeCRS followed by chemotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, especially in patients who were treated with repeat HIPEC.
