Objective: The standard surgical treatment of advanced ovarian carcinoma is primary debulking surgery (PDS) aiming to complete cytoreduction. The need to achieve complete cytoreduction has shifted the surgical paradigm to more complex procedures, whose impact on morbidity is controversial. The objective of this retrospective analysis is to explore the impact of extensive PDS on morbidity and oncologic outcomes in a real-world scenario.
Methods: A retrospective single-center analysis was performed on 137 patients with advanced high-grade ovarian carcinoma (HGOC) who received PDS in 2015-2020. Patients treated in 2015-2017 (Group 1) were compared to patients treated in 2018-2020 (Group 2). The two periods were chosen according to the higher complexity of surgical procedures introduced in 2018.
Results: The increase in complete cytoreduction observed in Group2 (RD 0: 33 % vs 61 %, p = 0,008) was related to a higher surgical complexity (Aletti Score: 4 vs 6, p = 0,003) and did not reflect an increase in peri-operative complications (CCI: 20,9 vs 20,9, p = 0,11). After a median FUP of 44 months, PFS and OS at 24 months were 33,60 % vs 47,33 % (p = 0,288) and 72,10 % vs 80,37 % (p = 0,022) in Group 1 and 2, respectively.
Conclusions: An extensive surgical effort leads to a significant increase in complete cytoreduction with acceptable morbidity. Arm-in-arm with novel maintenance therapies, it contributes to increasing the outcomes of patients with advanced HGOC.

Blunt abdominal trauma causing intraperitoneal injury and/or bleeding can be life-threatening, requiring immediate intervention. Diagnosing these cases can be challenging, especially when pre-existing conditions are involved. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare tumor of the appendix that can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei.

The combination therapy of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab (LP) is increasingly recognized as an important second-line regimen for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC). However, the safety and efficacy of conversion surgery with low anterior rectal resection for unresectable EC following LP therapy is unknown. A 37-year-old woman was referred with unresectable EC with pleural fluid, peritoneal dissemination, and ascites.

Background/aim: The study examines whether DNA level mutations in the carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) gene Pro-Glu-Leu-Pro-Lys (PELPK) motif differ between patients with appendiceal or colorectal adenocarcinoma. Significant differences between these two groups in correlation with development of metachronous liver metastases could help in the development of targeted therapies and preventative treatment approaches.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective comparative trial analysed 18 patients, 9 with appendiceal adenocarcinoma and 9 with colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Objective: this retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of BRCA mutational status on the outcomes of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with either primary debulking surgery (PDS) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (NACT-IDS). Material and a total of 79 patients with stage III-IV ovarian cancer treated at Elias Emergency University Hospital between January 2014 and March 2024 were included. Patients received either PDS followed by chemotherapy or NACT-IDS.

This manuscript reports the case of a 75-year-old patient presenting with a collision tumor consisting of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and intra-ampullary adenocarcinoma, which manifested with obstructive jaundice and was treated with primary surgical cytoreduction. Additionally, a bibliographic search of original articles was performed in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE; via PubMed) and the Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) databases to review the literature on pancreaticobiliary collision tumors. Currently, information regarding pancreatic and bile duct collision tumors is limited due to their very low incidence.
