Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Surgical intervention for pulmonary metastases from ovarian cancer can achieve a 5-year survival rate of 69.9%. However, preoperative extrapulmonary metastasis is a significant adverse prognostic factor, requiring careful surgical consideration.

Area Of Science

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background

  • Pulmonary metastases (PMs) from ovarian cancer are rare clinical events.
  • The efficacy and prognostic factors of surgical intervention for PMs are not well-established.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To validate the efficacy of surgical intervention for pulmonary metastases from ovarian cancer.
  • To identify prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS) after surgery for PMs.

Main Methods

  • Retrospective analysis of 48 patients who underwent radical surgery for PMs from ovarian cancer.
  • Data collected from the Metastatic Lung Tumor Study Group of Japan (1996-2021).
  • Overall survival (OS) was analyzed using multivariable Cox regression.

Main Results

  • The 5-year OS rate was 69.9% (95% CI=51.9%-82.2%), with a median survival of 121 months.
  • Poorer OS predictors included preoperative extrapulmonary metastasis (HR=5.354), elevated tumor markers (HR=2.999), and disease-free interval < 24 months (HR=4.355).
  • Preoperative extrapulmonary metastasis was an independent adverse prognostic factor (HR=6.229).

Conclusions

  • Surgical resection of PMs from ovarian cancer can yield favorable long-term survival.
  • Preoperative extrapulmonary metastasis is a critical adverse prognostic factor.
  • Careful patient selection and consideration of surgical indications are essential.
