  • BACKGROUND: Extent of tumor load is an important factor in the selection of ovarian cancer patients for cytoreductive surgery (CRS). The Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) gives exact information on tumor load but still is not standard in ovarian cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to find a PCI cutoff for incomplete CRS. The secondary aims were to identify reasons for open-close surgery and to compare surgical complications in relation to tumor burden.METHODS: The study included 167 women with stage III or IV ovarian cancer scheduled for CRS. Possible predictors of incomplete surgery were evaluated with receiver operator curves, and a PCI cutoff was identified. Surgical complications were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and Chi square tests.RESULTS: The median PCI score for all the patients was 22 (range 3-37) but 33 (range 25-37) for the patients with incomplete surgery (n = 19). The PCI predicted incomplete CRS, with an area under the curve of 0.94 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91-0.98). Complete CRS was obtained for 67.2% of the patients with a PCI higher than 24, who experienced an increased rate of complications (p = 0.008). Overall major complications were found in 16.9% of the cases. Only 28.6% of the patients with a PCI higher than 33 achieved complete CRS. The reason for open-close surgery (n = 14) was massive carcinomatosis on the small bowel in all cases.CONCLUSION: The study found PCI to be an excellent predictor of incomplete CRS. Due to a lower surgical success rate, the authors suggest that neoadjuvant chemotherapy could be considered if the PCI is higher than 24. Preoperative radiologic assessment should focus on total tumor burden and not necessarily on specific regions.
