Pleural Effusion Detected at CT prior to Primary Cytoreduction for Stage III or IV Ovarian Carcinoma: Effect on Survival

Abstract: Purpose:To determine the prognostic importance of pleural effusions on preoperative computed tomographic (CT) images in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Materials and Methods:The institutional review board waived informed consent for this HIPAA-compliant study of 203 patients with Inter-

“…Eitan et al [2] reported a decrease in survival when comparing optimally cytoreduced stage IIIC patients with stage IV ones based solely on malignant effusions. Mironov et al [3] in a series of 203 patients found that the presence of moderate-to-large pleural effusions was independently associated with poorer overall survival (after controlling for cytoreductive status).…”

“…Malignant pleural effusions develop in almost half of patients with disseminated cancers and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. 49,50 Studies have shown that the 30-day mortality rate is 29% to 50%, and the median survival time is 6 to 12 months for patients with malignant pleural effusion. 50,51 Although it is most commonly associated with ovarian cancer, any type of gynecologic malignancy can result in malignant pleural effusion.…”

“…Potential tools that have been investigated include: preoperative CA125 or prealbumin values, the use of radiographs to assess resectability, and the presence or absence of a pleural effusion 5-7 . While most of these data allow a reasonable degree of discrimination, no consensus exists on the ideal method to triage a patient to a particular approach.…”
