Abstract

The aim of the present study was to identify clinicopathological factors in long‑term survivors following ovarian cancer recurrence. The patients who achieved longer survival after recurrence (n=18) and those who succumbed to the disease earlier (n=47) were identified and analyzed. There were no significant differences in age, performance status, stage distribution or histology between the two groups. Additionally, no significant difference was observed in progression‑free survival after primary therapy. Multivariate analyses revealed that the predictive factors for long‑term survival were i) secondary debulking surgery (OR=13.3; 95% CI: 1.39‑226.7), ii) favourable response rate of second‑line chemotherapy (OR=46.5; 95% CI: 1.84‑313‑4), and iii) ≥3 regimens after first recurrence (OR=9.01; 95% CI: 1.28‑117.7). This study revealed that prolonged post‑progression survival was associated with post‑recurrence treatment. Therefore, appropriate selection of secondary debulking surgery and better chemotherapeutic response may lead to prolonged post‑progression survival in recurrent ovarian cancer patients.
