Abstract
Introduction: Ovarian metastasis of colorectal cancer is known to have a poor prognosis. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of patients who underwent oophorectomy for ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer.
Methods: This retrospective study included 16 patients who underwent oophorectomy for colorectal cancer metastasis to the ovary from January 2004 to December 2017. Improvement in patient's symptoms and pre- and postoperative changes in various nutritional and inflammatory indicators were assessed. Survival analysis and identification of prognostic factors were conducted with a median follow-up of 40.7 (5-109) months.
Results: Of 16 patients, 12 had (75%) synchronous and 4 (25%) had metachronous metastasis. Fourteen patients were symptomatic but symptoms resolved postoperatively. Thirteen patients (81.3%) had ascites and 5 (31.3%) had pleural effusion on preoperative computed tomography that disappeared after surgery in all cases. The median value of prognostic nutritional factor was significantly increased postoperatively (36.0 [preoperatively] vs. 47.5, p < 0.0001). The median (interquartile range) values for lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio were 715.2 (110-2,607) preoperatively and 6,095.2 (1,612.3-14,431.8) postoperatively (p = 0.0214). The median survival of the entire cohort was 60.4 months. The 3-year survival rates for R0 + R1 and R2 cases were 83% and 24% (p = 0.018), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that R2 resection and low postoperative lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio were associated with poor prognosis.
Conclusions: Oophorectomy for ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancers was safely performed. It improved the patients' symptoms and nutritional status and may result in improved prognosis.
期刊介绍:
Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
