    Abstract The genital system remains one of the most common sites of carcinogenesis in women. Advances in surgery, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy have increased their efficacy and many patients survive for many years after their initial diagnosis. The eye is a rare site of metastasis from gynecological cancer due to its distant location from the genitalia. In this systematic review, we retrieved all case reports of patients with ocular metastasis from gynecological neoplasms. The demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics were retrieved and analyzed. A total of 70 case reports were included. Forty-eight of these reports concerned patients with a known malignancy that recurred in the eye and in 22 patients' ocular symptomatology accompanied the initial diagnosis of the gynecologic malignancy. 73.9% of these patients exhibited concomitant metastasis to other organs. The mean disease-free interval was found at 25.7 months and mean survival time after the eye metastasis was 13.5 months. Refractory disease was identified as the most important risk factor associated with mortality. Because eye metastasis has such a dismal prognosis, all gynecologists who treat oncological patients should be highly suspicious for reported eye complaints.

    Abstract Aims: Dose-dense chemotherapy has proven its value in several cancer fields. The purpose of the present systematic review is to evaluate the impact of dose-dense chemotherapy on survival outcomes of epithelial ovarian cancer patients.
    Materials and methods: Medline, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CENTRAL, Google Scholar and Clinicaltrials.gov databases were searched for relevant articles. Effect sizes were calculated in Rstudio using the meta and metafor functions. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to evaluate the possibility of small study effects and P-hacking. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) and Risk of Bias in non-Randomized Trials (RoBINS) tools.
    Results: Overall, 12 studies were included in the present systematic review, involving 4979 epithelial ovarian cancer patients. The risk of recurrence was substantially improved in patients receiving dose-dense chemotherapy (hazard ratio 0.82, 95% confidence interval 0.70, 0.96); however, the result of the meta-analysis may be attributed to the effect size of smaller studies as following adjustment for small study effects the outcome becomes non-significant (hazard ratio 0.91, 95% confidence interval 0.81, 1.02, P = 0.123). Overall survival rates were not improved by dose-dense chemotherapy (hazard ratio 0.79, 95% confidence interval 0.60, 1.04). Thirty-five types of adverse effect were identified following retrieval of data from the original studies. Dose-dense chemotherapy did not increase significantly the rates of severe adverse effects, although thrombosis, severe diarrhoea and severe nausea were more prevalent in this group of patients.
    Conclusion: Dose-dense chemotherapy is associated with comparable side-effects to those of standard chemotherapy; however, data related to survival outcomes are not positive; hence, its use outside the setting of clinical trials should be discouraged.

    Abstract Introduction: A splenectomy is frequently performed during debulking surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. Its impact on perioperative and survival outcomes remains questionable as current evidence is conflicting. In the present study, we sought to determine the factors that affect survival rates in ovarian cancer patients that undergo a splenectomy as part of maximal-effort cytoreduction.
    Patients and methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted that included all epithelial ovarian cancer patients that had surgical cytoreduction for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Differences among splenectomized and non splenectomized patients were evaluated as well as the impact of known risk factors on survival outcomes of splenectomized patients.
    Results: Overall, 245 patients were identified and 223 were included in the present series, of whom 91 had a splenectomy. Recurrence rates as well as death rates were comparable among splenectomized and non-splenectomized patients; however, both the disease-free survival (
    Discussion: The findings of our study support the feasibility of splenectomy in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer; however, its impact on patients' survival is considerable. Therefore, every effort should be made to avoid splenic injury which will result in unintended splenectomy for non-oncological reasons.

    Abstract Malnutrition significantly impacts the post-operative process of gynecological cancer patients. A prominent variable for determining perioperative morbidity is the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI). To investigate PNI's predictive value on the risk of post-operative infections, we conducted a prospective cohort study involving women who underwent surgery for gynecological malignancies. Out of the 208 patients enrolled, 28 (13.5%) were malnourished and post-operative infections occurred in 43 patients. Notably, there was a significant difference in PNI between patients who developed infections and those who did not (

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the awareness and existing knowledge of a portion of the Greek population about prevention, screening, and HPV vaccination.
    Methods: A questionnaire designed in Google forms has been distributed through social media between June 2021 and December 2021 in men and women aged > 16 years old. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 20.0 program. Inferential analysis was performed to evaluate differences in responses among men and women.
    Results: We enrolled 2685 participants. Of those, 2285 were women, 386 were men, while 14 respondents chose not to respond to this question. Various age groups were detected with those aged between 26 and 30 years old being the predominant one. Participants with a higher education constituted 36.5% of the population. Most respondents were married (59.8%). In socioeconomic terms 75.5% of participants were employed whereas, monthly income ranged between 1000 and 1500 euros in the predominant group (36.8%). Only 40% of females and 3.9% of males were vaccinated against HPV. Adolescent immunization, acceptability rates reached 92.7% among female and 82.1% among male responders. Although, only a small proportion of the participants were not aware of the existence of HPV, 24.1% of males and 23.4% of females had the impression that condom use may provide absolute immunity to HPV and only 51.6% of males and 60.4% of females were aware about the high prevalence of HPV in the general population. Logistic regression analysis indicated that male participants as well as those aged > 50 years and those choosing to reject vaccination had decreased knowledge of the basic pathophysiology of HPV infection, as well as knowledge related to the existence and use of HPV DNA as a screening tool and the existence and efficacy of HPV vaccination.
    Conclusion: Our results indicate that although awareness of the existence of HPV infection is high in Greek general population, the actual perception of the pathophysiology of transmission and importance of HPV testing and vaccination is low. Targeting specific population groups is essential to help increase HPV coverage and screening.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of peritoneal washing cytology (PWC) on progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients undergoing interval debulking surgery (IDS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for ovarian cancer (OC).
    Methods: We systematically searched Medline (1966-2020), Scopus (2004-2020), EMBASE (1980-2020), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CENTRAL (1999-2020), Clinicaltrials.gov (2008-2020) and Google Scholar (2004-2020). All the studies that investigated the correlation of peritoneal washing cytology with survival outcomes of patients undergoing interval debulking for ovarian cancer, were finally included in the present meta-analysis.
    Results: A total of 7 retrospective studies were included, comprising 907 patients, of whom 535 had positive peritoneal washing cytology on interval debulking surgery. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed as moderate, primarily due to the lack of data referring to the adequacy of the follow-up of patients and secondarily due the lack of comparability of patients. Progression - free survival was significantly better in the negative peritoneal cytology group (HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.73, 2.48 respectively), however, overall survival did not reach a significant difference among the two groups (HR 1.90, 95% CI 0.99, 3,65, p = 0.052).
    Conclusions: Our data support a negative correlation between positive peritoneal washing cytology at interval debulking surgery and the survival of ovarian cancer patients.
