Real-world study of lymphadenectomy in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer

BACKGROUND: The evidence on the role of retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy is limited to less common histology subtypes of epithelial advanced ovarian cancer.

METHODS: This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019. Patients with stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer were included and divided into two groups based on whether they received retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. The primary outcomes are overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS).

RESULTS: Among the 10 184 included patients, 5472 patients underwent debulking surgery with retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, while 4712 patients only underwent debulking surgery. No differences were found in the baseline information between the two groups after propensity score matching. Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy during debulking surgery was associated with improved 5-year OS (43.41% vs. 37.49%, p < 0.001) and 5-year CSS (46.43% vs. 41.79%, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis further validate the retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy increased the 5-year OS and CSS in patients with high-grade serous cancer. Although the results were not validated in the less common ovarian cancer (including endometrial cancer, mucinous cancer, low-grade serous cancer, and clear cell cancer), the tendency showed patients with the above four subtypes may benefit from the lymphadenectomy which is restricted for small sample size after propensity score matching.

CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy could further improve the survival outcome during debulking surgery in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. The conclusion was affected by the histology subtypes of ovarian cancer and further studies are needed to validate the conclusion in less common ovarian cancer.
