Purpose
This study aimed to compare treatment outcomes and toxicity profile between imaged-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) versus conventional brachytherapy (CBT) performed by the same practitioner during the same time period.
Materials and Methods
Medical records of 104 eligible patients who underwent brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer were retrospectively reviewed. Fifty patients (48.1%) underwent IGBT, and 54 (51.9%) patients underwent CBT. All patients underwent concurrent chemoradiation with cisplatin. High-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy with dose prescription of 25-30 Gy in 4-6 fractions was performed for all patients. Late lower gastrointestinal (GI) and urinary toxicities occurred more than 3 months after the end of brachytherapy were included for comparative and dosimetric analyses.
Results
The median follow-up period was 18.33 months (range, 3.25 to 38.43 months). There were no differences in oncologic outcomes between the two groups. The IGBT group had lower rate of actuarial grade ≥ 3 toxicity than the CBT group (2-year, 4.5% vs. 25.7%; p=0.030). Cumulative equieffective D2cc of sigmoid colon was significantly correlated with grade ≥ 2 lower GI toxicity (p=0.033), while equieffective D2cc of rectum (p=0.055) and bladder (p=0.069) showed marginal significance with corresponding grade ≥ 2 toxicities in the IGBT group. Half of grade ≥ 3 lower GI toxicities impacted GI tract above the rectum. Optimal thresholds of cumulative D2cc of sigmoid colon and rectum were 69.7 Gy and 70.8 Gy, respectively, for grade ≥ 2 lower GI toxicity.
Conclusion
IGBT showed superior toxicity profile to CBT. Evaluating the dose to the GI tract above rectum by IGBT might prevent some toxicities.

Effect of BRCA1/2 Mutational Status on Survival Outcomes According to Secondary Cytoreductive Surgery and Maintenance Therapy in Platinum-Sensitive Relapsed Ovarian Cancer: A Real-World Evidence Study: Se Ik Kim, Hyunji Lim, Hee Seung Kim, Hyun Hoon Chung, Jae-Weon Kim, Noh Hyun Park, Yong-Sang Song, Maria Lee; Cancer Res Treat. 2023;55(1):245-257. Published online July 19, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2022.232

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub: Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the impact of BRCA1/2 mutational status on survival outcomes in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed (PSR) epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
Materials and Methods
We retrospectively identified patients who received secondary treatment for PSR EOC at our institution between January 2007 and June 2021 and who underwent BRCA1/2 gene testing by either germline or somatic methods. The association between BRCA1/2 mutational status and survival outcomes was evaluated. Both secondary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and maintenance therapy were stratified considering real-world clinical practice.
Results
Of 262 patients, 91 (34.7%) and 171 (65.3%) were assigned to BRCA1/2 mutation and wild-type groups, respectively. The two groups had similar proportions of patients undergoing secondary CRS (26.4% vs. 32.7%, p=0.286) and maintenance therapy (54.9% vs. 46.2%, p=0.178). Overall, no differences in progression-free survival (PFS; median, 19.7 vs. 15.1 months, p=0.120) and overall survival (OS; p=0.400) were observed between the two groups. In multivariate analyses, BRCA1/2 mutational status was not associated with PFS (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.816; 95% confidence interval, 0.596 to 1.119; p=0.207). BRCA1/2 mutational status did not affect PFS among patients who underwent secondary CRS (n=80) and among those who did not (n=182) (p=0.074 and p=0.222, respectively). PFS did not differ in the BRCA1/2 mutational status among the patients who received bevacizumab maintenance (n=90, p=0.992).
Conclusion
In this real-world evidence study, BRCA1/2 mutational status itself was not associated with PFS and OS in PSR EOC, which was consistent with whether secondary CRS or not and with bevacizumab maintenance.

Identification of Patients with Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Who Will Benefit from More Than Three Lines of Chemotherapy: Aeran Seol, Ga Won Yim, Joo Yeon Chung, Se Ik Kim, Maria Lee, Hee Seung Kim, Hyun Hoon Chung, Jae-Weon Kim, Noh Hyun Park, Yong Sang Song; Cancer Res Treat. 2022;54(4):1219-1229. Published online November 17, 2021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2021.1010

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
This study aimed to identify patients who would benefit from third and subsequent lines of chemotherapy in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
Materials and Methods
Recurrent EOC patients who received third, fourth, or fifth-line palliative chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. Patients’ survival outcomes were assessed according to chemotherapy lines. Based on the best objective response, patients were divided into good-response (stable disease or better) and poor response (progressive disease or those who died before response assessment) groups. Survival outcomes were compared between the two groups, and factors associated with chemotherapy responses were investigated.
Results
A total of 189 patients were evaluated. Ninety-four and 95 patients were identified as good and poor response group respectively, during the study period of 2008 to 2021. The poor response group showed significantly worse progression-free survival (median, 2.1 months vs. 9.7 months; p < 0.001) and overall survival (median, 5.0 months vs. 22.9 months; p < 0.001) compared with the good response group. In multivariate analysis adjusting for clinicopathologic factors, short treatment-free interval (TFI) (hazard ratio [HR], 5.557; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.403 to 12.850), platinum-resistant EOC (HR, 2.367; 95% CI, 1.017 to 5.510), and non-serous/endometrioid histologic type (HR, 5.045; 95% CI, 1.152 to 22.088) were identified as independent risk factors for poor response. There was no difference in serious adverse events between good and poor response groups (p=0.167).
Conclusion
Third and subsequent lines of chemotherapy could be carefully considered for palliative purposes in recurrent EOC patients with serous or endometrioid histology, initial platinum sensitivity, and long TFIs from the previous chemotherapy regimen.

Germline and Somatic BRCA1/2 Gene Mutational Status and Clinical Outcomes in Epithelial Peritoneal, Ovarian, and Fallopian Tube Cancer: Over a Decade of Experience in a Single Institution in Korea: Se Ik Kim, Maria Lee, Hee Seung Kim, Hyun Hoon Chung, Jae-Weon Kim, Noh Hyun Park, Yong-Sang Song; Cancer Res Treat. 2020;52(4):1229-1241. Published online July 27, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2020.557

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
This study aimed to present a single institutional experience with BRCA1/2 gene tests and the effects of pathogenic mutations in epithelial peritoneal, ovarian, and fallopian tube cancer (POFTC) on survival outcomes.
Materials and Methods
We identified patients with epithelial POFTCs who underwent BRCA1/2 gene testing by either germline or somatic methods between March 2007 and March 2020. Based on the BRCA1/2 test results, patients were divided into BRCA mutation and wild-type groups, followed by comparisons of clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes after primary treatment.
Results
The annual number of POFTC patients who received BRCA1/2 gene tests increased gradually. In total, 511 patients were included and BRCA1/2 mutations were observed in 143 (28.0%). Among 57 patients who received both germline and somatic tests, three (5.3%) showed discordant results from the two tests. Overall, no differences in progression-free survival (PFS; p=0.467) and overall survival (p=0.641) were observed between the BRCA mutation and wild-type groups; however, multivariate analyses identified BRCA1/2 mutation as an independent favorable prognostic factor for PFS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.765; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.593 to 0.987; p=0.040). In 389 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage III-IV, different results were shown depending on primary treatment strategy: while BRCA1/2 mutation significantly improved PFS in the subgroup of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (aHR, 0.619; 95% CI, 0.385 to 0.995; p=0.048), it did not affect patient PFS in the subgroup of primary debulking surgery (aHR, 0.759; 95% CI, 0.530 to 1.089; p=0.135).
Conclusion
BRCA1/2 mutations are frequently observed in patients with epithelial POFTCs, and such patients showed better PFS than did those harboring wild-type BRCA1/2.

Development of Web-Based Nomograms to Predict Treatment Response and Prognosis of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Se Ik Kim, Minsun Song, Suhyun Hwangbo, Sungyoung Lee, Untack Cho, Ju-Hyun Kim, Maria Lee, Hee Seung Kim, Hyun Hoon Chung, Dae-Shik Suh, Taesung Park, Yong-Sang Song; Cancer Res Treat. 2019;51(3):1144-1155. Published online November 20, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2018.508

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
Discovery of models predicting the exact prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is necessary as the first step of implementation of individualized treatment. This study aimed to develop nomograms predicting treatment response and prognosis in EOC.
Materials and Methods
We comprehensively reviewed medical records of 866 patients diagnosed with and treated for EOC at two tertiary institutional hospitals between 2007 and 2016. Patients’ clinico-pathologic characteristics, details of primary treatment, intra-operative surgical findings, and survival outcomes were collected. To construct predictive nomograms for platinum sensitivity, 3-year progression-free survival (PFS), and 5-year overall survival (OS), we performed stepwise variable selection by measuring the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with leave-one-out cross-validation. For model validation, 10-fold cross-validation was applied.
Results
The median length of observation was 42.4 months (interquartile range, 25.7 to 69.9 months), during which 441 patients (50.9%) experienced disease recurrence. The median value of PFS was 32.6 months and 3-year PFS rate was 47.8% while 5-year OS rate was 68.4%. The AUCs of the newly developed nomograms predicting platinum sensitivity, 3-year PFS, and 5-year OS were 0.758, 0.841, and 0.805, respectively. We also developed predictive nomograms confined to the patients who underwent primary debulking surgery. The AUCs for platinum sensitivity, 3-year PFS, and 5-year OS were 0.713, 0.839, and 0.803, respectively.
Conclusion
We successfully developed nomograms predicting treatment response and prognosis of patients with EOC. These nomograms are expected to be useful in clinical practice and designing clinical trials.

Systemic Inflammatory Response Markers and CA-125 Levels in Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma: A Two Center Cohort Study: Hee Seung Kim, Hwa-Young Choi, Maria Lee, Dong Hoon Suh, Kidong Kim, Jae Hong No, Hyun Hoon Chung, Yong Beom Kim, Yong Sang Song; Cancer Res Treat. 2016;48(1):250-258. Published online March 6, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2014.324

Purpose
We compared the predictive and prognostic values of leukocyte differential counts, systemic inflammatory (SIR) markers and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels, and identified the most useful marker in patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).
Materials and Methods
The study included 109 patients with OCCC who did not have any inflammatory conditions except endometriosis, and underwent primary debulking surgery between 1997 and 2012. Leukocyte differential counts (neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil, basophil, and platelet), SIR markers including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and CA-125 levels were estimated to select potential markers for clinical outcomes.
Results
Among potential markers (neutrophil, monocyte, platelet, NLR, MLR, PLR, and CA-125 levels) selected by stepwise comparison, CA-125 levels were best at predicting advanced stage disease, suboptimal debulking and platinum-resistance (cut-off values, ≥ 46.5, ≥ 11.45, and ≥ 66.4 U/mL; accuracies, 69.4%, 78.7%, and 68.5%) while PLR ≥ 205.4 predicted noncomplete response (CR; accuracy, 71.6%) most accurately. Moreover, PLR < 205.4 was an independent factor for the reduced risk of non-CR (adjusted odds ratio, 0.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.04 to 0.69), and NLR < 2.8 was a favorable factor for improved progression-free survival (PFS; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.99) despite lack of a marker for overall survival among the potential markers.
Conclusion
CA-125 levels may be the most useful marker for predicting advanced-stage disease. Suboptimal debulking and platinum-resistance, and PLR and NLR may be most effective to predict non-CR and PFS in patients with OCCC.

Impact of Chemoradiation on Prognosis in Stage IVB Cervical Cancer with Distant Lymphatic Metastasis: Hee Seung Kim, Taehun Kim, Eung Seok Lee, Hak Jae Kim, Hyun Hoon Chung, Jae Weon Kim, Yong Sang Song, Noh Hyun Park; Cancer Res Treat. 2013;45(3):193-201.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to determine whether chemoradiation (CCR) is efficient for improving prognosis, compared with systemic chemotherapy (SC), in patients with stage IVB cervical cancer who have distant lymphatic metastasis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Among 2,322 patients with cervical cancer between January 2000 and March 2010, 43 patients (1.9%) had stage IVB disease. After exclusion of 19 patients due to insufficient data and hematogenous metastasis, 24 patients (1%) who received CCR (n=10) or SC (n=14) were enrolled. We compared tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and disease recurrence between CCR and SC.
RESULTS
Complete response rates were 60% and 0% after CCR and SC (p<0.01). Grade 3 or 4 leukopenia was more common in patients treated with CCR (24.4% vs. 9.1%, p=0.03), whereas grade 3 or 4 neuropenia was more frequent in those treated with SC (28.4% vs. 11.1%, p=0.03). Development of grade 3 proctitis occurred as a late radiotherapy (RT)-related toxicity in only one patient (10%) treated with CCR. In addition, squamous cell carcinoma and CCR were favorable prognostic factors for improvement of PFS (adjusted hazard ratios [HRs], 0.17 and 0.12; 95% confidence intervals [CIs], 0.04 to 0.80 and 0.03 to 0.61), and only CCR was significant for improvement of OS (adjusted HR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.02 to 0.90). However, no differences in the rate and pattern of disease recurrence were observed between CCR and SC.
CONCLUSION
CCR may be more effective than SC for improving survival, and can be regarded as a feasible method with some caution regarding late RT-related toxicity for treatment of stage IVB cervical cancer with distant lymphatic metastasis.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil (FOLFOX-4) chemotherapy in heavily pretreated patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Clinical data were reviewed in 28 patients who received FOLFOX-4 as more than the second-line chemotherapy, consisting of 85 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin as a 2-hour infusion, 200 mg/m2 of leucovorin as a 2-hour infusion, and bolus 400 mg/m2 on day 1, followed by a 22-hour infusion of 600 mg/m2 of 5-fluorouracil for two consecutive days every three weeks. In addition, its efficacy and toxicity were compared with those reported in in three previous relevant studies.
RESULTS
A total of 128 cycles of FOLFOX-4 were administered with the median number of five cycles (range, 1 to 10 cycles). In nine patients with measurable disease, complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) were observed in 0 (0%) and two (22.2%) patients, whereas in 19 patients with non-measurable disease, CR and PR were observed in 0 (0%) and five (26.3%) patients. Among all patients, grade 3 anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia were observed in two (7.1%), three (10.7%), and one (3.6%) patient, and grade 3 fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and peripheral neuropathy were observed in one (3.6%), two (7.1%), and three (10.7%) patients. In addition, median values of time to progressive disease and chemotherapy-specific survival were three months (range, 0 to 10 months) and nine months (range, 4 to 24 months).
CONCLUSION
FOLFOX-4 is feasible as salvage chemotherapy with acceptable toxicity for heavily pretreated patients with recurrent EOC.

p21WAF1/CIP1 Codon 31 Polymorphism in Korean Women: Association with Cervical Cancer Susceptibility and Prognosis: Ju Won Roh, Kyung Sun Kim, Jae Weon Kim, Moon Hong Kim, Hyun Hoon Chung, Noh Hyun Park, Yong Sang Song, Soon Beom Kang, Hyo Pyo Lee; J Korean Cancer Assoc. 2000;32(6):1050-1058.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to determine whether certain genotype of p21WAF1/Cip1 might be associated with risk of cervical cancer in Korean women.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We used the specimens derived from cervical cancer (n=111) composed of two histologic groups; SCCA (n=67) and adenocarcinoma (n=44), CIN III (n=101) and controls (n=98). For the determination of p21WAF1/Cip1 polymorphism, DNA was examined by PCR-RFLP using BsmAI. We compared the distribution of p21WAF1/Cip1 genotype of Korean women with that of other ethnic groups and analyzed the distribution of invasive cancer, CIN III and controls.
RESULTS
The genotype frequency of controls was different from that of Caucasian and Chinese (p<0.001) but similar to that of Japanese (p=0.21). There was no difference in the genotype frequency of p21WAF1/Cip1 among SCCA, CIN III and controls (p>0.05). A significant increase of Ser/Ser genotype was found in adenocarcinoma patients with high-risk HPV compared with the controls (p=0.009). The OR was 3.59, 95% CI=1.55~8.31, when comparing that group with controls. However, we could not find differences of prognosis.
CONCLUSION
We found that codon 31 Ser/Ser homozygote of the p21WAF1/Cip1 would be a risk factor for the adenocarcinoma of cervix associated with high-risk HPV in Korean women.
