    Abstract Ten to fifty percent of women with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer develop malignant bowel obstruction (MBO). We described the management and examined the complications and survival of MBO in primary epithelial tubo-ovarian cancer patients.
    Materials and methods: The authors conducted a retrospective monocentric cohort study of tubo-ovarian cancer patients diagnosed with MBO between January 1st, 2011 until August 31st, 2017 at the University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium.
    Results: Seventy-three patients with a total of 165 MBO episodes (median 1/patient; range 1-14) were included. The median time interval between cancer diagnosis and first MBO episode was 373 days (range 0-1937). The median time interval between MBO episodes was 44 days (range 6-2004). Complications were bowel perforation (
    Conclusion: Tubo-ovarian cancer patients with MBO have a poor prognosis: 85% of the study population died within a relatively short time interval since the first MBO. In our study population, the majority of patients with MBO were treated conservatively. Both palliative chemotherapy and palliative surgical management are considerable treatment options depending on the individual patient profile.

    Abstract Objective: In this study we investigated response rates of bevacizumab in addition to weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin in neoadjuvant setting in cervical cancer stage IB-IIB.
    Methods: In this retrospective study we included patients with FIGO 2018 stage IB-IIB cervical cancer. Treatment consisted of 9 weeks' neoadjuvant paclitaxel and carboplatin (paclitaxel 60 mg/m
    Results: A total of 30 patients were included. Six patients had FIGO 2018 stage IB1-IB2 (20%), one had stage IB3 (3%), five had stage IIA (17%), and 18 had stage IIB (60%). After completing the neoadjuvant chemotherapy, all patients showed a RECIST response (seven (23%) complete response; 23 (77%) partial response). Six patients (20%) were judged to be still inoperable. After radical hysterectomy, optimal pathological response was observed in 11 patients (38%) (pCR in nine patients (29%) and pPR1 in two patients (8%)). Six patients (20%) received postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Hematological toxicity was similar to neoadjuvant weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin, as we reported earlier. Grade IV proteinuria or hypertension was not observed and no administration of bevacizumab was delayed or dose-reduced.
    Conclusion: Bevacizumab in addition to weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin showed a 100% radiological RECIST response and an optimal pathological response of 38%. Although bevacizumab has an established role in the treatment of recurrent cervical cancer in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin, we did not observe a tendency toward superior effect on the pathological response rate of bevacizumab in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy setting.

    Abstract Objective: The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PlasmaJet™ in cytoreductive surgery in patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer.
    Methods: All patients between September 2013 and January 2018 undergoing surgical cytoreduction for advanced-stage ovarian cancer with the help of PlasmaJet™ were identified and analyzed retrospectively.
    Results: Eighty-seven patients diagnosed with advanced-stage ovarian cancer underwent surgery with PlasmaJet™. Primary debulking surgery was performed in 15 cases. Fifty-seven patients underwent interval debulking after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Secondary and tertiary debulking was done in, respectively, 11 and three patients, and one patient underwent quaternary debulking using PlasmaJet™. In all 87 patients but one, complete resection of all macroscopic disease was obtained. PlasmaJet™ was used to remove carcinomatosis on the peritoneum, bowel serosa, intestinal mesentery, and lesions in the upper abdomen (diaphragm and liver surface). No damage to the bladder or ureter was noted in relation to the use of PlasmaJet™. Three patients developed a bowel leakage postoperatively. In one of these patients, PlasmaJet™ was used to treat tumoral implants in the affected region.
    Conclusions: Our series suggests that the use of PlasmaJet™ is efficient and safe in obtaining complete resection of all macroscopic tumoral lesions in advanced-stage ovarian cancer.

    Abstract Objective: This phase 2 study investigated sapanisertib (selective dual inhibitor of mTORC1/2) alone, or in combination with paclitaxel or TAK-117 (a selective small molecule inhibitor of PI3K), versus paclitaxel alone in advanced, recurrent, or persistent endometrial cancer.
    Methods: Patients with histologic diagnosis of endometrial cancer (1-2 prior regimens) were randomized to 28-day cycles on four treatment arms: 1) weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m
    Results: Of 241 patients randomized, 234 received treatment (paclitaxel, n = 87 [3 ongoing]; paclitaxel+sapanisertib, n = 86 [3 ongoing]; sapanisertib, n = 41; sapanisertib+TAK-117, n = 20). The sapanisertib and sapanisertib+TAK-117 arms were closed to enrollment after futility analyses. After a median follow-up of 14.4 (paclitaxel) versus 17.2 (paclitaxel+sapanisertib) months, median progression-free survival (PFS; primary endpoint) was 3.7 versus 5.6 months (hazard ratio [HR] 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.58-1.15; p = 0.139); in patients with endometrioid histology (n = 116), median PFS was 3.3 versus 5.7 months (HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.43-1.03). Grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse event rates were 54.0% with paclitaxel versus 89.5% paclitaxel+sapanisertib.
    Conclusions: Our findings support inclusion of chemotherapy combinations with investigational agents for advanced or metastatic disease. The primary endpoint was not met and toxicity was manageable.

    Abstract Introduction: Flat epithelial atypia (FEA), lobular neoplasia (LN), papillary lesions (PL), radial scar (RS) and atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) are lesions of uncertain malignant potential and classified as B3 lesions by the European guidelines for quality assurance in breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Current management is usually wide local excision (WE), surveillance may be sufficient for some. We investigated the upgrade rate of B3 lesions to breast malignancy in a subsequent resection specimen after diagnosis on core needle-or vacuum assisted biopsy (CNB-VAB) in a national population-based series.
    Methods: Using data from the Belgian Cancer Registry (BCR) between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2016, inclusion criteria were new diagnosis of a B3 lesion on CNB or VAB with subsequent histological assessment on a wider excision specimen. Histological agreement between first- and follow-up investigation was analyzed to determine the upgrade risk to ductal adenocarcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive breast cancer (IC) according to the type of B3 lesion.
    Results: Of 1855 diagnosed B3 lesions, 812 were included in this study: 551 after CNB-261 after VAB. After diagnosis on CNB and VAB, we found 19.0% and 14.9% upgrade to malignancy respectively. Upgrade risks after CNB and VAB were: FEA 39.5% and 17.6%; LN 40.5% and 4.3%; PL 10.4% and 12.5%; RS 25.7%and 0.0%; ADH 29.5% and 20.0%.
    Conclusion: Based on the observed upgrade rate we propose three recommendations: first, resection of ADH, and FEA with WE; second, resection of RS and classical LN with therapeutic VAB and further surveillance when radio-pathological correlation is concordant; third, surveillance of PL.

    Abstract Objective: Comparison of olaparib (OLA) monotherapy versus chemotherapy in patients with platinum-sensitive (PSOC) or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC).
    Methods: Patients with measurable disease and ≥ 1 prior line of chemotherapy (CT) were randomized 2:1 to OLA (300 mg tablets, BID) or physician's choice CT.: for PSOC: Carboplatin-Pegylated-Liposomal-Doxorubicin (PLD) or Carboplatin-Gemcitabine; for PROC: PLD, Topotecan, Paclitaxel or Gemcitabine.
    Results: 160 patients (60 with PSOC and 100 with PROC) were randomized 2:1 to OLA (n = 107) or CT (n = 53). Baseline characteristics were similar between both arms. Overall objective response rate (ORR) for OLA and CT were similar (24.3% (26/107) and 28.3% (15/53), respectively). Clinical benefit rate (≥ 12 weeks) was similar with 54.2% (58/107) and 56.6% (30/53), respectively. In PSOC, ORR was 35.0% (14/40) and 65.0% (13/20) for OLA and CT (p = 0.053); in PROC, ORR was 17.9% (12/67) and 6.1% (2/33) for OLA and CT (p = 0.134). ORR in heavily pretreated PROC (>4 prior lines) was 22.9% (8/35) with OLA versus 0% (0/14) for CT. ORR of 35.7% (5/14) and 13.2% (7/53) was observed in BRCA-mutated and -wildtype PROC cases, respectively. Median PFS in PROC was not significantly different with 2.9 months (95% CI 2.8-5.1 in the OLA group versus 3.8 months (95% CI 3.0-6.4) in the CT group (hazard ratio [HR] 1.11 [95% CI 0.72-1.78]; log-rank p = 0.600).
    Conclusion: OLA monotherapy showed overall an equal response rate in relapsed ovarian cancer compared with CT. In PROC, ORR and TFST tended to be higher with OLA than with CT. In heavily pretreated patients (four lines or more) with PROC disease, OLA treatment seemed to be more effective than CT.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the added value of a centralized pathology review of the diagnoses of gestational trophoblastic diseases by expert pathologists and its potential impact on clinical management in a prospective multicenter study based on the Belgian Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases Registry.
    Methods: From July 2012 to December 2020, the two referral centers of the registry were solicited to advise on 1119 cases. Referral pathologists systematically reviewed all of the initial histological diagnoses. Cases initially assessed by expert pathologists were excluded. A total of 867 files were eligible for the study. Concordance between diagnoses of gestational trophoblastic diseases made by general 'non-expert' and expert pathologists was analyzed together with the potential impact of the alterations on clinical management. Expert pathologists were working in an academic setting with high exposure to placental pathology and national recognition.
    Results: The rate of discordance between expert and non-expert pathologists for the initial diagnoses was 35%. Almost 95% of complete moles were confirmed by the expert pathologists, but only 61% for partial moles. Compared with previous studies, ancillary techniques (p57 immunohistochemistry, karyotype) were used twice as often by both groups of pathologists in this survey. The diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia was altered in 42% of cases. When the initial diagnosis was altered, the clinical relevance of this correction was estimated as down staging, up staging, or not relevant in 65%, 33% and 2% of cases respectively.
    Conclusion: Systematic centralized pathological review of gestational trophoblastic diseases modified the diagnosis in a third of cases. The results also show that a change in diagnosis would impact clinical management in 98% of patients.

    Abstract Limited data exist regarding the associations between TROP-2 protein expression, clinical-pathological characteristics, and outcome in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). TROP-2 expression was determined for patients diagnosed with TNBC between 2000 and 2017 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (ab227689, Abcam) on whole slide tumor sections, and assessed as continuous and categorical variables (H-score high, 201-300, medium 100-200 and low < 100). We investigated the prognostic value of TROP-2 expression for relapse and survival, associations between TROP-2 expression and baseline patient and tumor characteristics, stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs), androgen receptor (AR), standardized mitotic index (SMI) and pathological complete response (pCR, in patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy) were assessed. We included 685 patients with a median age at diagnosis of 54 years (range 22-90 years). After median follow-up of 9.6 years, 17.5% of patients experienced distant relapse. TROP-2 expression was high, medium and low in 97 (16.5%), 149 (25.3%) and 343 (58.2%) of patients, respectively. The presence of LVI, associated DCIS, nodal involvement, apocrine histology and AR expression were correlated with higher TROP-2 levels. There were no associations between TROP-2 expression and sTILs, time-to-event outcomes, or pCR rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. TROP-2 expression is not associated with sTILs level and has no prognostic value in our cohort of stage 1-3 TNBC. However, an association with histotype and AR expression was found, suggesting a histotype specific TROP-2 expression pattern with highest expression in apocrine subtype, warranting further research.

    Abstract (1) Background: Paramagnetic seeds are a safe alternative for the wire-guided localisation of non-palpable breast lesions, but can also be applied for non-breast lesions. This study presents the experience with a paramagnetic seed, MagSeed® (Endomagnetics Ltd., Cambridge, UK, CE-registered and FDA-cleared), in an academic and non-academic breast centre. (2) Methods: Multicentre, retrospective analysis of 374 consecutive patients who underwent surgery after paramagnetic seed localisation (MSL) between 2018 and 2020. Indications for localisation included non-palpable breast lesions (n = 356), lymph nodes (n = 15) or soft tissue lesions (n = 3). The primary outcome was feasibility and the rate of positive section margins. The secondary outcome was predictive factors for positive section margins. (3) Results: The accurate excision of high-risk breast lesions, lymph nodes and soft tissue lesions was seen in 91.07% (n = 56). Positive section margins were observed in 7.86% (n = 25) after breast conserving surgery for invasive or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) (n = 318). Invasive breast cancer associated with DCIS (p = 0.043) and the size of DCIS (p < 0.001) were significantly correlated with the positive section margins. (4) Conclusion: This study confirms the feasibility of MSL, as well as the higher risk for positive margins in cases of breast carcinoma with associated DCIS. Soft tissue lesions and lymph nodes associated with other malignancies, e.g., melanoma, can also be localised with paramagnetic seeds. This offers perspectives for future applications, such as the de-escalation of axillary treatment in breast cancer.
