Secondary surgical cytoreduction in women with platinum-sensitive, recurrent epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian-tube ("ovarian") cancer is widely practiced but has not been evaluated in phase 3 investigation.
We randomly assigned patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who had received one previous therapy, had an interval during which no platinum-based chemotherapy was used (platinum-free interval) of 6 months or more, and had investigator-determined resectable disease (to no macroscopic residual disease) to undergo secondary surgical cytoreduction and then receive platinum-based chemotherapy or to receive platinum-based chemotherapy alone. Adjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel-carboplatin or gemcitabine-carboplatin) and use of bevacizumab were at the discretion of the investigator. The primary end point was overall survival.
A total of 485 patients underwent randomization, 240 to secondary cytoreduction before chemotherapy and 245 to chemotherapy alone. The median follow-up was 48.1 months. Complete gross resection was achieved in 67% of the patients assigned to surgery who underwent the procedure. Platinum-based chemotherapy with bevacizumab followed by bevacizumab maintenance was administered to 84% of the patients overall and was equally distributed between the two groups. The hazard ratio for death (surgery vs. no surgery) was 1.29 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97 to 1.72; P = 0.08), which corresponded to a median overall survival of 50.6 months and 64.7 months, respectively. Adjustment for platinum-free interval and chemotherapy choice did not alter the effect. The hazard ratio for disease progression or death (surgery vs. no surgery) was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.66 to 1.01; median progression-free survival, 18.9 months and 16.2 months, respectively). Surgical morbidity at 30 days was 9%; 1 patient (0.4%) died from postoperative complications. Patient-reported quality of life decreased significantly after surgery but did not differ significantly between the two groups after recovery.
In this trial involving patients with platinum-sensitive, recurrent ovarian cancer, secondary surgical cytoreduction followed by chemotherapy did not result in longer overall survival than chemotherapy alone.

在铂类敏感、复发性上皮性卵巢癌、原发性腹膜癌或输卵管癌(“卵巢”)的女性中进行二次手术细胞减灭术被广泛应用,但尚未在 3 期研究中进行评估。
我们随机分配了接受过一次治疗、铂类无治疗间隔(platinum-free interval)为 6 个月或更长时间且研究者确定可切除疾病(无肉眼残留疾病)的铂类敏感、复发性卵巢癌患者,这些患者将接受二次手术细胞减灭术,然后接受铂类化疗或单独接受铂类化疗。辅助化疗(紫杉醇-卡铂或吉西他滨-卡铂)和贝伐单抗的使用由研究者决定。主要终点是总生存期。
共有 485 名患者进行了随机分组,240 名患者接受二次细胞减灭术联合化疗,245 名患者接受单独化疗。中位随访时间为 48.1 个月。接受手术的患者中有 67%实现了完全肉眼切除。84%的患者接受了含贝伐单抗的铂类化疗,随后接受了贝伐单抗维持治疗,两组之间的分配比例相同。手术组死亡风险(手术与非手术)为 1.29(95%置信区间[CI],0.97 至 1.72;P=0.08),分别对应于中位总生存期分别为 50.6 个月和 64.7 个月。对铂类无治疗间隔和化疗选择进行调整并未改变该结果。疾病进展或死亡的风险(手术与非手术)为 0.82(95%CI,0.66 至 1.01;无进展生存期中位数分别为 18.9 个月和 16.2 个月)。术后 30 天的手术发病率为 9%;1 例(0.4%)患者术后并发症死亡。手术后患者报告的生活质量显著下降,但在恢复后两组之间没有显著差异。
在这项涉及铂类敏感、复发性卵巢癌患者的试验中,二次手术细胞减灭术联合化疗并未导致总生存期长于单独化疗。(由美国国立癌症研究所等资助;GOG-0213 临床试验.gov 编号,NCT00565851。)
