Approach to FIGO stage III epithelial ovarian cancer remains challengeable. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of interval debulking surgery (IDS) vs. primary debulking surgery (PDS) for FIGO stage III epithelial ovarian cancer. Materials and Methods: During a period of six years (January 2014 to December 2019), we analyzed the patients for eligibility criteria, which were: (1) FIGO stage III epithelial ovarian cancer. (2) The age of 18 years or more (3) Patients underwent either PDS or IDS and received chemotherapy at South Egypt Cancer Institute. We divided them into two groups: (1) Those received three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then underwent IDS plus three additional cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy and (2) Those who have PDS followed by six cycles of chemotherapy. Results: This study includes 380 eligible patients. The first group included 226 patients (59.47%) underwent PDS then 6 cycles of chemotherapy, while the group of IDS included 154 patients (40.53%). The treatment modality was not significant for overall survival (OS); however disease-free survival (DFS) was significantly reduced after IDS when compared to PDS (median DFS: 33 months; 95% CI 30.23-35.77 vs. 45 months; 95% CI 41.25-48.75 respectively; p= .000). Moreover, in subgroup analysis, OS and DFS were significantly dropped after IDS in elderly patients, patients with bad performance status, sub-optimal cytoreduction as well as high grade and undifferentiated tumors when compared to those who underwent PDS. Conclusion: Although treatment modality may not impact overall survival (OS), however, PDS results in a better disease-free survival than IDS. Moreover, IDS results in a significant drop in OS and DFS in special patients subgroups when compared to PDS. Therefore patients selection should be considered.","PeriodicalId":23450,"journal":{"name":"Tumori Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"15 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78083934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A notable variation however exists among different guidelines in delineation of chest wall (CW) CTV specially for the lateral margin. Some authors used wire localization for the anatomical insertion of the presumed breast It is expected that lateral margin delineation will affect the standard tangential fields and therefore the ipsilateral lung & heart (in left side) volumes irradiated to high dose. Aim of work: Evaluation of the effect of using various guidelines for chest wall CTV delineation on outcome regarding doses received by heart and left lung (in post left mastectomy irradiation) and compare these outcomes to that of wire based delineation (WBD). Methodology: Ten patients with T3/4 &/or N+ left breast cancer were planned for post mastectomy CW-3DCRT. Delineation of CW by one radiation oncologist followed 2 different guidelines namely RTOG & ESTRO in addition to a 3rd anatomical based wire delineation of chest wall underlying the presumed breast. Three CRT plans for the 3 CTVs were compared regarding coverage, homogenity & toxic dose to heart & lt. lung. Results: CTV was a highly significantly smaller when delineated using WBD vs RTOG or ESTRO guidelines. There was no statistically significant difference between the 3 delineated volumes regarding coverage & homogeneity parameters. A highly statistically significant better (lesser) V20Gy & V30Gy received by lt. lung for plans based on WBD (16.0 +/- 4.1% &12.75 +/- 2% respectively) vs those based on ESTRO (19.1 +/- 1.73 & 15.2 +/- 5.1 respectively) or RTOG guidelines (18.22 ± 1.6 & 14.52 ± 5.3 respectively), p=0.001 for V20Gy & 0.01 for V30Gy. For cardiac dose, a statistically significant lower D50% received by the heart in plans based on WBM delineation (101.6 ± 41.2 Gy) compared to plans based on ESTRO & RTOG guidelines based CTV (141 +/- 81cGy & 132 +/- 93 cGy respectively, p= 0-00001).

Methods and Materials: Twenty left sided conservative breast cancer patients were selected for IMRT treatment. Automatic generation of the contours on each repeat CT image was performed by mapping the contours from the planning CT image using deformable image registration. 3D- CRT and IMRT plans were automatically recalculated for each patient. The magnitude of isocenter shifts in postero-anterior (PA), cranio-caudal (CC) and right-left (RL) directions was calculated and the degree of dose deviations regarding target coverage and dose received by organs at risk. Results: In the PA,CC and RL directions, 9.2%, 11.4% and 6.4% of the 100 CT scans didn’t require any position adjustments. The mean isocenter shifts and standard deviation (SD) were 0.5 & 0.6 +/- 1.1mm, 0.3 &0.4 +/- 0.5mm and 0.2 & 0.4+/- 0.6mm for the IMRT and 3D-CRT plans in the PA,CC and RL directions, respectively. 74.1%, 65.1%, and 55.8% required a shift of 1 - 3 mm; 10.5%, 23.9%, and 33.2% required a shift of 3 - 5mm; and 1.5%, 3.3%, and 5.4% required a shift of more than 5 mm, respectively. With respect to target coverage, the D90[Gy] for the breast CTV was 46.2 Gy and 45.6 for the IMRT and 3D-CRT plans. The mean doses to the heart and left lung were reduced by 5.5 %, 3.7 Gy and 4.1%, 2.6 Gy using the AAP method.

We explored the relationship between the androgen receptor (AR), insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and clinicopathologic variables and survival in BC. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we collected clinical and pathological data of 105 BC patients who had been treated at Alexandria Main University Hospitals from January 2010 to December 2016. These patients’ formalin fixed paraffin-embedded blocks were retrieved and analyzed for AR and IGF-1R expression immunohistochemically; TILs were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Chi square and Kaplan Meier curves were used to study the correlation between the three biomarkers and clinicopathologic parameters and survival respectively. Results: 59% and 51.4% of patients were AR and IGF-1R positive respectively. AR immunoreactivity correlated with a tumour size less than 5 centimeters (p=0.001), presence of carcinoma in situ (p=0.008), negative Her 2 status (p=0.007) and negative lymphovascular invasion (p<0.001). Negative AR expression predicted a longer disease free survival (p=0.017). A positive IGF-1R was associated with carcinoma in situ (p<0.001) and negative extra-nodal extension (p=0.042) but no impact on the disease free survival (p=0.227). A high TIL expression was associated with a tumour size less than 5 centimeters (p=0.005), invasive lobular carcinoma (p=0.006), carcinoma in situ (p=0.047), negative LVI (p<0.001) and longer survival. A positive AR expression was associated with a positive IGF-1R expression (p<0.001).
