Prognostic analysis of non-complete staging surgery for borderline ovarian tumors
Objective To analyze the effects of non-complete staging surgery on the prognosis and preoperative clinical characteristics of BOTs.Methods The research subjects were patients who received non-complete staging surgery in Capital Medical University Xuanwu Hospital between January 2010 and December 2022 and had a pathological diagno-sis of BOTs.The clinical characteristics and follow-up data of the patients were retrospectively collected and their prog-nosis was analyzed.Results A total of 53 patients were included in the study,and 2 patients relapsed(3.77%,2/53).The recurrence type was still BOTs,without invasive progression or malignant transformation.The recurring tumors could be entirely removed by surgery without routine adjuvant therapy.The results of multivariate analysis showed that tumor size ≥10cm was an independent risk factor for MBOTs.Conclusions Patients with BOTs who receive non-complete staging surgery have a great prognosis,the recurrence rate of which is not significantly higher than that of comprehensive staging surgery,and complete resection can be accomplished with a second operation.A comprehensive preoperative as-sessment should be performed by clinicians in deciding on the surgical strategy and scope when preoperative imaging shows that the tumor size is not less than 10 cm,which suggests that MBOTs are more possible.
