Chemotherapy response score as a predictor of survival in ovarian cancer patients

OBJECTIVE: The chemotherapy response score (CRS) has been widely adopted as a predictive tool for ovarian cancer survival. In the present study, we seek to define differences in survival rates among patients grouped in the traditionally established three-tiered system and those who have not been offered debulking surgery.

STUDY DESIGN: We designed a retrospective cohort study involving women treated with chemotherapy and offered interval or late debulking surgery for ovarian cancer. Twenty-eight women were not considered for a debulking procedure for various reasons. Of the 89 women who were finally offered interval debulking or late debulking surgery, 28 had a CRS 1 score, 34 had a CRS 2 score and 27 had a CRS 3 score.

RESULTS: Significant differences were noted in the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients based on the CRS stratification, although survival rates were considerably longer for all three groups compared to those of patients who were not offered surgery. Cox regression univariate analysis revealed that suboptimal debulking and CRS 1 or no surgery had a significant negative impact on PFS and OS rates. The binary stratification of CRS (CRS 1-2 vs CRS 3) revealed comparable differences in the PFS and OS to those in the groups that were stratified as platinum resistant and platinum sensitive.

CONCLUSION: The chemotherapy response score is a significant determinant of ovarian cancer survival that helps evaluate the risk of early disease relapse and death and may soon be useful in guiding patient-tailored treatment.
