    Purpose The survival effect of presence or absence of lymphadenectomy in early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) was priorly shown but the effect of number of removed lymph nodes kept in background. We aimed to evaluate the survival impact of number of removed lymph nodes and their localizations in stage I EOC. Methods This study included 182 patients. The best cut-off levels for number of pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes (PaLN) were 24 and 10, respectively. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed for these cut-offs and other prognostic factors. Results The median age of the patients was 49. The median number of removed pelvic and paraartic lymph nodes were 29 and 9, respectively. The median overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 67 and 50 months, respectively. The 5-year OS rate was 89.6%. Recurrence occured in 24 (19.5%) patients. In univariate analyses tumor grade (p: 0.005), pelvic LN number (p: 0.041) and PaLN number (p: 0.004) were the factors that were significantly associated with PFS. Tumor grade and PaLN number were independently and significantly associated with PFS in multivariate analyses (p: 0.015 and p: 0.017, respectively). In OS analyses, age, tumor grade, presence of LVI, number of pelvic and PaLNs were the significantly associated factors (p < 0.05 for all). In multivariate analyses, age and PaLN number were independently and significantly associated with OS (p: 0.011 and p: 0.021, respectively). Conclusions The number and localizations of removed lymph nodes may have a survival affect in stage I EOC. We also think that this study may constitute a kernel point for larger prospective series on lymph node number and lymphatic regions.

    Does the primary route of spread have a prognostic significance in stage III non-serous epithelial ovarian cancer?

    Background: The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the prognosis of non-serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients with exclusively retroperitoneal lymph node (LN) metastases, and to compare the prognosis of these women to that of patients who had abdominal peritoneal involvement. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective department database review was performed to identify patients with stage III non-serous EOC at 7 gynecologic oncology centers in Turkey. Demographic, clinicopathological and survival data were collected. The patients were divided into three groups based on the initial sites of disease: 1) the retroperitoneal (RP) group included patients who had positive pelvic and / or para-aortic LNs only. 2) The intraperitoneal (IP) group included patients with > 2 cm IP dissemination outside of the pelvis. These patients all had a negative LN status, 3) The IP / RP group included patients with > 2 cm IP dissemination outside of the pelvis as well as positive LN status. Survival data were compared with regard to the groups. Results: We identified 179 women with stage III non-serous EOC who were treated at 7 participating centers during the study period. The median age of the patients was 53 years, and the median duration of follow-up was 39 months. There were 35 (19.6%) patients in the RP group, 72 (40.2%) in the IP group and 72 (40.2%) in the IP/RP group. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates for the RP, the IP, and IP/ RP groups were 66.4%, 37.6%, and 25.5%, respectively (p = 0.002). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate for the RP group was significantly longer when compared to those of the IP, and the IP/RP groups (74.4% vs. 54%, and 36%, respectively; p = 0.011). However, we were not able to define "RP only disease" as an independent prognostic factor for increased DFS or OS. Conclusions: Primary non-serous EOC patients with node-positive-only disease seem to have better survival when compared to those with extra-pelvic peritoneal involvement.
