Popis: Simple summaryLow-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) represents an uncommon histotype of serous ovarian cancer (accounting for approximately 5% of all ovarian cancer) with a distinct behavior compared to its high-grade serous counterpart, characterized by a better prognosis and low response rate to chemotherapeutic agents. Similar to high-grade serous ovarian cancer, cytoreductive surgery is considered crucial for patient survival. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the outcomes of women affected by advanced stages (III–IV FIGO) of LGSOC from two high-volume oncological centers for ovarian neoplasm. In particular, we sought to evaluate the impact on survival outcomes of optimal cytoreductive surgery [i.e., residual disease (RD) 10 mm (p = 0.002). Progression-free survival (PFS) was inversely related to RD after primary cytoreductive surgery (RD = 0 vs RD = 1–10 mm vs RD >10 mm, p = 0.002). On multivariate analysis, RD 1–10 mm (HR = 2.30, 95% CI 1.30–4.06, p = 0.004), RD >10 mm (HR = 3.89, 95% CI 1.92–7.88, p = 0.0004), FIGO stage IV (p = 0.001), and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) (p = 0.010) were independent predictors of PFS. RD >10 mm (HR = 3.13, 95% CI 1.52–6.46, p = 0.004), FIGO stage IV (p 10 mm in this setting of patients.
