Borderline Ovarian Tumours: CNGOF Guidelines for Clinical Practice - Epidemiology and Risk Factors of Relapse, Follow-up and Interest of a Completion Surgery

摘要

Objective. - To provide clinical practice guidelines from the French college of obstetrics and gynecology (CNGOF) based on the best evidence available, concerning epidemiology of recurrence, the risk or relapse and the follow-up in case of borderline ovarian tumor after primary management, and evaluation of completion surgery after fertility sparing surgery. Material and methods. - English and French review of literature from 2000 to 2019 based on publications from PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, with keywords borderline ovarian tumor, low malignant potential, recurrence, relapse, follow-up, completion surgery. From 2000 up to this day, 448 references have been found, from which only 175 were screened for this work. Results and conclusion. - Overall risk of recurrence with Borderline Ovarian Tumour (BOT) may vary from 2 to 24% with a 10-years overall survival > 94% and risk of invasive recurrence between 0.5 to 3.8%. Age < 40 years (level of evidence 3), advanced initial FIGO stage (LE3), fertility sparing surgery (LE2), residual disease after initial surgery for serous BOT (LE2), implants (invasive or not) (LE2) are risk factors of recurrence. In case of conservative treatment, serous BOT had a higher risk of relapse than mucinous BOT (LE2). Lymphatic involvement (LE3) and use of mini invasive surgery (LE2) are not associated with a higher risk of recurrence. Scores or Nomograms could be useful to assess the risk of recurrence and then to inform patients about this risk (grade C). In case of serous BOT, completion surgery is not recommended, after conservative treatment and fulfillment of parental project (grade B). It isn't possible to suggest a recommendation about completion surgery for mucinous BOT. There is not any data to advise a frequency of follow-up and use of paraclinic tools in general case of BOT. Follow-up of treated BOT must be achieved beyond 5 years (grade B). A systematic clinical examination is recommended during follow-up (grade B), after treatment of BOT. In case of elevation of CA-125 at diagnosis use of CA-125 serum level is recommended during follow-up of treated BOT (grade B). When a conservative treatment (preservation of ovarian pieces and uterus) of BOT is performed, endovaginal and transabdominal ultrasonography is recommended during follow-up (grade B). There isn't any sufficient data to advise a frequency of these examinations (clinical examination, ultrasound and CA-125) in case of treated BOT. Conclusion. - Risk of relapse after surgical treatment of BOT depends on patients' characteristics, type of BOT (histological features) and modalities of initial treatment. Scores and nomogram are useful tools to assess risk of relapse. Follow-up must be performed beyond 5 years and in case of peculiar situations, use of paraclinic evaluations is recommended.
