  11. Second-look (SL) • No convincing data are available showing that SL improves the chances for cure or prolongs survival. • A lack of randomized prospective studies directly evaluating the therapeutic benefits of a SL procedure restricts its role to research protocols or to selected cases • Patients with primary suboptimal primary surgery appear to achieve a survival benefit from SL (early identification and treatment of residual disease) Rahaman 2005 • The value of secondary cytoreductive surgery at the time of SL is still debated

  17. The follow-up of EOC: general consideration • Few formal guidelines exist regarding the surveillance of EOC pts • The objective of follow-up in pts who have already been treated with primary cytoreductive surgery and first-line chemotherapy is not clear, as recurrent disease continues to be a therapeutic dilemma. • The vast majority of women with relapses will eventually succumb to their disease. The primary goal of salvage therapy therefore is to maximize disease-free survival and quality of life. • It is not clear whether early detection of recurrent disease is beneficial. Vaidya, Curtin 2003

  19. CA 125, physical and US findings in follow-up of EOC patients Patients and methods: Retrospective analysis of 52 pts with recurrent EOC. Clinical examination and CA 125 assay were compared to US findings. Pathological findings Physical examination 73% CA 125 assay 85% US 54% Wu 2003

  26. Recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer ELEVATED CA-125 No evidence of clinical or radiological disease in asymptomatic patients Measurable or evaluable disease symptomatic patients • Late recurrence (>24 mos) • Platinum sensitive • Platinum resistant • Platinum refractory

  27. Serum CA125 elevation in asymptomatic patients • Response to CT can be better in patients with small lesions and good PS • Early administration of CT at the time of CA125 elevation is associated with a greater anxiety due to an earlier knowledge of disease status • Drug related toxicities can be heavier the lower is time interval from the first CT

  34. Value of chest CT scans in routine EOC follow-up Patients and methods: 127 advanced EOC pts undergone surgery and chemotherapy and follow-ed with radiologic imaging 82 (65%) pts had had at least one chest CT scan, with > 50% having had > 3 scans. 32 (39%) patients had no radiologic evidence of disease. 28 (34%) had disease in the abdomen/pelvis, but not in the chest. 18 (22%) had both chest and abdominal/pelvic CT scans that indicated disease. In all of these patients, abdominal/pelvic disease had appeared on scans before spreading to the chest. 4 (5%) of the patients had isolated chest disease. Sella 2001

  35. Value of chest CT scans in routine EOC follow-up Patients and methods: 96 EOC pts who had at least one CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis during follow-up. A total of 266 CT scans were obtained 41 (41.7%) of the 96 pts had metastatic chest disease on one or more scans. In the absence of disease in abdomen/pelvis, chest progression was seen in 6 (2.7%) of the 226 follow-up CT scans. 5 of the six pts had rising CA-125 levels. Dachman 2001

  36. Value of chest CT scans in routine EOC follow-up • Pulmonary metastases are rare (6%) and usually preceded by recurrent disease in the abdomen or pelvis. • Chest CT is not indicated in the routine follow-up • Chest CT should be performed for those patients with elevated serum CA125 but without evidence of abdominal / pelvic disease Sella 2001
