ABSTRACT
2022-RA-1306-ESGO Table 1Patient, tumor and treatment characteristicsResultsThere were 354 (76%) and 114 (24%) women in the pre-Covid and Covid cohorts, respectively. Demographics did not differ between cohorts (table 1). At multidisciplinary team evaluations there were no differences in allocation to primary surgery (PDS), interval surgery (IDS) or chemotherapy only (CT) between cohorts. Surgical complexity scores at PDS and IDS were similar in both cohorts. At PDS significantly more women in the covid cohort had residual disease <10 mm. Type and amount of chemotherapy did not differ between cohorts. Significantly more women in the Covid cohort received PARPi maintenance therapy. A significantly higher cumulative incidence of recurrence was found for the covid cohort (p<0.0003), figure 1a. For women undergoing exploratory laparotomy or IDS the risk of recurrence was higher in the Covid cohort than the pre-Covid cohort during initial 18 months after diagnosis, for IDS HR=2.75 [95% CI, 1.45–5.2], figure 1b.ConclusionDespite equal surgical capacity and favorable prognostic characteristics, women with advanced stage HGSC diagnosed during the Covid pandemic had a significantly higher risk of recurrence when compared to pre-covid cohort, particularly for women undergoing IDS.
