Surgical Stage I high-grade ovarian cancer: is adjuvant chemotherapy warranted?
Objective:
To review the results of patients with high-grade Stage I ovarian cancer managed without adjuvant treatment.
Materials And Methods:
A retrospective chart review identified patients with newly diagnosed Stage I high-grade ovarian cancer, who underwent comprehensive surgical staging.
Results:
Thirty-three patients with FIGO surgical Stage I high-grade ovarian cancer were identified. After a median follow-up of 40 months, nine patients (27%) recurred. The median time to recurrence was 19 months. Of the nine patients with recurrences, four (44%) are alive with disease, three (33%) patients have no evidence of disease, and two have died of disease (22%). The two- and five-year overall survival is 100% and 90%, respectively.
Conclusions:
It would appear the recurrence rates of Stage I high risk epithelial ovarian cancer completely staged, without adjuvant treatment are comparable to those of treatment arms reported in the literature. A proportion of these patients can be salvaged at recurrence, yielding a high overall survival.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
