Abstract

Introduction/Background*Only 10–15% of serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOT) have extra-ovarian invasive implants, and conservative treatments have been rarely reported. The MITO14 is a multi-institutional retrospective study conducted with the aim of systematically collecting data from consecutive BOT patients. The present analysis reports the oncological and reproductive outcomes of women with SBOT and invasive implants registered into the MITO14 database and conservatively treated between January 1995 and December 2019

Methodology Thirteen patients (FIGO2014 stage II-III SBOT with invasive implants) were recruited (table 1). Primary and secondary endpoints were, respectively, recurrence, pregnancy and live birth rates. Only patients undergoing fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) were included, while patients were excluded in case of: age >45 years; presence of second tumor(s) requiring therapy interfering with the treatment of BOT.

Result(s)*Median follow-up from primary cytoreduction was 144 months (range 23–217). Eleven patients (84.6%) experienced at least one recurrence (median time to first relapse 17 months, range 4–190), all of these undergoing secondary surgery (FSS in 7). Five patients attempted to conceive (at least one pregnancy in 3; at least one healthy child in 2). At the end of the observation period, 12 patients (92.3%) showed no evidence of disease and 1 (7.7%) was alive with disease (table 2).

Conclusion*Despite the recurrence high rate, survival and pregnancy outcomes indicate that FSS could be considered in SBOT with invasive implants.
