Clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of 11 cases with extraovarian peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:Extraovarian peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma(EPSPC) originats from peritoneum with rare incidence, sometimes may affect the surface of ovary and have multi-focal lesions, whose standard therapy have not been established. In this study, we preliminarily reviewed the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of EPSPC in 11 cases. Methods:The clinical characteristics of 11 cases with EPSPC were first retrospectively analyzed. All the patients underwent cytoreduction surgery followed by chemotherapy. Finally, short-term and long-term effi cacy, time to progression (TTP) and overall survival were evaluated by RECIST, respectively. Results:Abdominal pain, distention and ascites were the most common presenting symptoms, but tumors could be palpable in only 18.2% of the patients. The positive rate of ascites, abdomen B ultrasound,MRI scan and ascending CA125 level in the plasma and ascites was 100%,45.5%,100%,72.7%,81.2%,respectively. The successful rate of cytoreduction surgery was 45.5% for the EPSPC. After chemotherapy, the cases of complete remission, partial remission, stable disease and progression disease were 1(11.1%,1/9),3(33.3%,3/9),2(22.2%,2/9) and 3(33.3%,4/9), respectively. TTP was 5-14 months for all the patients and the median TTP was 8.6 months. The 1,2,3-year overall survival was 72.7%,18.2%,0%, respectively and the median overall survival was 14.6 months. Conclusions: Ascite, abdomen MRI scan and CA125 level are the most meaningful factor to diagnose EPSPC. EPSPC is a carcinoma of poor prognostic with non-specific clinical characteristics, low successful rate of cytoreduction surgery and is chemotherapy-resistent.
