    Abstract Cytoreductive surgery is the backbone of the multimodal therapy in primary ovarian cancer patients. Despite the effect of various tumor biological factors such as grading and histological subtype, the surgical outcome is the most important prognostic factor for both progression free- and overall survival. In contrast, the management of recurrent situation has long remained a subject of an emotional international discussion. To date, only few prospective studies have focused on the effect of surgery in relapsed ovarian cancer. The available retrospective data associate complete cytoreduction with prognosis improvement. However, the selection of patients eligible for surgery in recurrent situation is the essential issue. The establishment of predictive factors for complete tumor resection and defining the patient group with recurrent disease who might profit from this approach are crucial. The available predictors of complete resection depend on the results of primary surgery and the current patient's situation. Women who underwent primary complete cytoreduction are in good performance status, and those who have only minimal ascites volume (less than 500 ml) in the recurrent situation have 76% likelihood of undergoing complete resection and survival prolongation. Moreover, the complete cytoreduction in the tertiary cytoreductive approach has been evaluated and showed a potential positive influence on patients' survival. This review concentrates on the recent data and highlights the need of further randomized trials to develop and incorporate operative standards in recurrent ovarian cancer.

    Abstract Cytoreductive surgery remains an accepted standard treatment of primary ovarian cancer. In advanced stages adjuvant platin/taxane chemotherapy with addition of anti-angiogenic agent, i.e., bevacizumab is recommended. The management of recurrent ovarian cancer remains a field of controversies. Surgery and/or systemic treatment are currently investigated in prospective trials. Retrospective data show prognosis improvement in patients who underwent complete cytoreduction. Thus, the selection of patients eligible for surgery in recurrent situation is the essential issue. The available predictors of complete resection depend on results of primary surgery and current patients situation. Women who fulfill these criteria have 76% likelihood of undergoing complete resection and survival prolongation. On the other hand there is a large group of patients in whom surgery might be too dangerous and demand an effective systemic treatment. Currently in a second-line several options are available, again including anti-angiogenic agents. The management of further recurrences is a subject of several clinical trials, nevertheless standards are still missing. Due to histological subtype and/or BRCA mutation status, the therapy in ovarian cancer might undergo revision in a near future.

    Abstract Objective: Low-grade epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC), constitute the minority among all epithelial cancers. Our study objective was to focus on low-grade recurrent EOC and compare the survival with high-grade disease, as well as in regard to "platinum-sensitive" and "-resistant" recurrences according to platinum-free interval.
    Methods: This is an exploratory analysis within the North-Eastern German Society of Gynecological Oncology (NOGGO) database including five randomized phase II/III trials comparing different chemotherapy regimens in recurrent EOC. We conducted survival analyses and cox-proportional regression models.
    Results: Out of 1050 patients having the first recurrence, 42 (4%) patients had low-grade and 1008 (96%) patients had high-grade disease. In the subgroup of platinum-sensitive recurrences, progression-free survival (PFS) (8.7 m vs 9.7 m, p = 0.7) and overall survival (OS) (23.9 m vs 24.8 m, p = 0.9) did not differ between low-grade and high-grade diseases. In platinum-resistant recurrences, patients with low-grade ovarian cancer had significantly better PFS (7.6 m vs 3.6 m, p = 0.03) and OS (41.9 m vs 9.5 m p = 0.002) in comparison to those with high-grade cancer. At low-grade EOC, there were no significant PFS (p = 0.91) and OS (p = 0.25) differences between platinum-sensitive and -resistant recurrences. Patients with low-grade non-serous histology had lower PFS with compared to those with low-grade serous histology (p = 0.004). At cox regression analysis presence of ascites and residual disease after secondary cytoreductive surgery were independently associated with poor PFS within low-grade recurrent EOC.
    Conclusion: Our study indicates, platinum-free interval does not have any prognostic significance at recurrent low-grade EOC and non-serous histology is associated with poorer outcome in recurrence. Secondary surgical cytoreduction to no-gross residual disease and ascites are independently associated with disease progression.

    Abstract Carcinoma of the recto-vaginal septum is an extremely rare entity. We performed a MEDLINE-based search on recto-vaginal septum carcinoma, focussing on its management, in order to clarify which are the best treatment options for this disease. In addition an unpublished case report has been added to the review. 34 case reports were included in our review. Surgery and adjuvant chemoradiation therapy seem to be the most common treatment option. However, since primary surgical treatment leads to mutilation by removing a large portion of the vagina and the anal sphincter with a permanent terminal colostomy, primary platinum-based chemoradiation therapy could be considered. In case of extragastrointestinal stromal tumours primary surgical treatment seems to be the best option. Due to the rarity of this entity only limited data is available. Therefore further investigation is necessary.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the potential impact of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) on dose reductions, discontinuation of chemotherapy, and survival.
    Patients and methods: This study was designed as individual participant data meta-analysis with the original study data of three phase II/III trials that were conducted by the North-Eastern German Society of Gynecological Oncology (NOGGO) including 1213 patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to estimate odds and hazard ratios after adjusting for age, ECOG, amount of delivered cycles, amount of recurrences, and amount of comedications and study.
    Results: The majority of patients developed nausea (58.1%) and almost one third experienced vomiting (31.0%). CINV was not associated with FIGO stage, grading, histology, and number of recurrences. The necessity of dose reduction and discontinuation of chemotherapy did not correlate to nausea and vomiting (p = 0.88, p = 0.39 and p = 0.25, p = 0.54 respectively). Progression-free survival was shorter in patients with grade III/IV nausea and vomiting (p = 0.02; hazard ratio (HR) for grade III/IV nausea 1.58, 95% CI 1.14-2.20, and p = 0.02; HR for grade III/IV vomiting 1.67, 95% CI 1.15-2.42 respectively). CINV grade III/IV was also associated with poorer overall survival (p < 0.001; HR for grade III/IV nausea 2.35, 95% CI 1.64-3.37, and p < 0.001; HR for grade III/IV vomiting 1.67, 95% CI 1.15-2.42 respectively).
    Conclusion: CINV is significantly associated with poorer prognosis in recurrent ovarian cancer patients while there was no correlation found with the necessity of dose reduction and prior discontinuation of treatment. This study underlines the importance of prevention and treatment of CINV as part of early best supportive care.
