Summary |
The development of ovarian metastases from gastric cancer indicates a turning point of the disease progression and is usually associated with poor prognosis. Efficacy of modern chemotherapy protocols in ovarian metastases from gastric cancer is unknown. In this case series, we have evaluated the chemosensitivity of ovarian metastases from gastric cancer in eight consecutive patients treated in our institution between January 2000 and April 2012. Median age at gastric cancer diagnosis was 48.3years and ovarian metastases were mainly metachronous (88%). Patients were treated with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI protocols in first-line and with EOX protocol in second-line chemotherapy. These protocols of chemotherapy used in first- and second-line treatment were able to control the disease in 33.3% for ovarian metastases compared to 66.7% for extraovarian metastases. Mean overall survival (OS) from ovarian metastases diagnosis was 14.2months. The four patients treated by bilateral oophorectomy had a longer mean OS (16months) than the four patients who did not experienced surgery (12.3months). In conclusion, this case series suggests that ovarian metastases from gastric cancer are less sensitive than extraovarian metastases to modern protocol of chemotherapy. To confirm these observations, a large retrospective study is ongoing.
