002). Median pre- and post-treatment CA-125 levels for LGSC patients were 295.5U/mL and 144U/mL (52% decrease) (p<0.001). The median pre- and post-treatment CA-125 levels for HGSC patients were 767.5 and 35.6 (96% decrease) (p<0.001). For LGSC patients, 4/36 (11%) had partial response (PR), 30/36 (83%) had stable disease (SD), and 2/36 (6%) had progressive disease (PD). In HGSC patients, 27/36 (75%) had PR, and 9/36 (25%) SD. Median PFS for LGSC patients was 18.5months and median OS was 47.4months.

This study provides further evidence of relative chemoresistance of LGSC in patients treated with NACT.

To assess the survival benefit of primary debulking surgery (PDS) compared to interval debulking surgery (IDS) after complete cytoreduction (CC-0) or cytoreduction to minimal residual disease (CC-1) in advanced ovarian cancer. Secondary objective was to evaluate the effect of tumor load and surgical complexity on patients' survival.

A retrospective multicentric study was designed, including patients with IIIC-IV FIGO stage ovarian cancer who underwent PDS or IDS with CC-0 or CC-1 from January 2008 to December 2015 in four high-volume institutions. Patients were classified in three groups PDS, IDS after 3-4cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), and IDS after 6cycles. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted.

We included 549 patients, 175 (31.9%) underwent PDS, 224 (40.8%) had IDS after 3-4cycles of NACT, and 150 (27.3%) underwent IDS after 6cycles. Median DFS in PDS, IDS at 3-4cycles and IDS at 6cycles were 23.0months (95%CI=[20.0-29.3]), 18.0months (95%CI=[15.9-20.0]) and 17.1months (95%CI=[15.0-20.9]), respectively; p<.001. Median OS were 84.0months (95%CI=[68.3-111.0]), 50.7months (95%CI=[44.6-59.5]) and 47.5months (95%CI=[39.3-52.9]), respectively; p<.001. In multivariable analysis, high peritoneal cancer index score and NACT were negatively associated to DFS and OS. Surgical complexity and CC-1 were negatively associated to DFS.

PDS offered a survival gain of almost three years compared to IDS in patients with minimal or no residual disease after surgery. PDS should remain the standard of care for advanced ovarian cancer.

Women with fallopian tube carcinoma (FTC) are reported to have a higher frequency of inherited BRCA mutations than those with ovarian carcinoma (OC) or primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC). We hypothesized that routine serial sectioning of fallopian tubes would increase the proportion of cases designated as FTC and change the frequency of inherited mutations between carcinoma types.

Eight hundred and sixty-seven women diagnosed from 1998 to 2018 were enrolled at diagnosis into an institutional tissue bank. Germline DNA, available from 700 women with FTC (N=124), OC (N=511) and PPC (N=65), was assessed using targeted capture and massively parallel sequencing for mutations in ovarian carcinoma susceptibility genes. Cases were divided between those prior to routine serial sectioning (1998-2008) and after (2009-2019), and the frequency of FTC and inherited mutations was assessed.

The proportion of carcinomas attributed as FTC after 2009 was 28% (128/465), significantly higher than before 2009 [5% (21/402), p<.0001, OR 6.9, 95% CI 4.3-11.2], with subsequent decreases in OC and PPC. In the sequenced group, overall inherited mutation frequency in FTC (24/124, 19%), OC (106/511, 21%, p=.42), and PPC (16/65, 25%, p=.25) were similar. Germline mutation rates in FTC were lower after 2009,16/107 cases (15%), compared to 8/17 cases (47.1%) before 2009 (p=.005, OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.06-0.64).

The prevalence of inherited mutations is similar in FTC compared to OC or PPC when using modern pathological assignment. Nafamostat solubility dmso Complete serial sectioning of fallopian tubes has significantly increased the diagnosis of FTC, and subsequently decreased the frequency of inherited mutations within this group.

Control status may be a useful tool to assess response to treatment at each clinical visit in COPD. Control status has demonstrated to have long-term predictive value for exacerbations, but there is no information about the short-term predictive value of the lack of control and changes in control status over time.

Prospective, international, multicenter study aimed at describing the short-term (6 months) prognostic value of control status in patients with COPD. Patients with COPD were classified as controlled/uncontrolled at baseline and at 3,6-month follow-up visits using previously validated criteria of control. Moderate and severe exacerbation rates were compared between controlled and uncontrolled visits and between patients persistently controlled, uncontrolled and those changing control status over follow-up.

A total of 267 patients were analyzed 80 (29.8%) were persistently controlled, 43 (16%) persistently uncontrolled and 144 (53.7%) changed control status during follow-up. Persistently controlled patients were more frequently men, with lower (not increased) body mass index and higher FEV

(%). During the 6 months following an uncontrolled patient visit the odds ratio (OR) for presenting a moderate exacerbation was 3.41 (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.47-4.69) and OR=4.25 (95%CI 2.48-7.27) for hospitalization compared with a controlled patient visit.

Evaluation of control status at each clinical visit provides relevant prognostic information about the risk of exacerbation in the next 6 months. Lack of control is a warning signal that should prompt investigation and action in order to achieve control status.
