Objective: We aimed to validate whether pathologic response (pR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) using a three-tier chemotherapy response score (CRS) is associated with clinical outcome in ovarian cancer (OC) and could be used as surrogate marker for survival.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of OC patients with FIGO stage III/IV disease who received NACT and graded response as no or minimal (CRS 1), partial (CRS 2), or complete/near-complete (CRS 3) pR using tissue specimens obtained from omentum. Uni- and multivariate survival analyses were performed accounting for age, FIGO stage, debulking and BRCA status as well as neoadjuvant use of bevacizumab.
