An MRI is recommended for an ovarian mass that is indeterminate on ultrasound. The ROMA score (combining CA125 and HE4) can also be calculated (grade A). In presumed early-stage ovarian or tubal cancers, the following procedures should be performed: an omentectomy (at a minimum, infracolic), an appendectomy, multiple peritoneal biopsies, peritoneal cytology (grade C), and pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomies (grade B) for all histologic types, except the expansile mucinous subtypes, for which lymphadenectomies can be omitted (grade C). Minimally invasive surgery is recommended for early-stage ovarian cancer, when there is no risk of tumor rupture (grade B). For FIGO stages III or IV ovarian, tubal, and primary peritoneal cancers, a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax/abdomen/pelvis is recommended (grade B), as well as laparoscopic exploration to take multiple biopsies (grade A) and a carcinomatosis score (Fagotti score at a minimum) (grade C) to assess the possibility of complete surgery (i.e., leaving no macroscopic tumor residue). Complete surgery by a midline laparotomy is recommended for advanced ovarian, tubal, or primary peritoneal cancer (grade B). For advanced cancers, para-aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomies are recommended when metastatic adenopathy is clinically or radiologically suspected (grade B). When adenopathy is not suspected and when complete peritoneal surgery is performed as the initial surgery for advanced cancer, the lymphadenectomies can be omitted because they do not modify either the medical treatment or overall survival (grade B). Primary surgery (before other treatment) is recommended whenever it appears possible to leave no tumor residue (grade B).

Minimally invasive surgery is recommended for early-stage ovarian cancer, when there is no risk of tumor rupture (grade B). Adjuvant chemotherapy by carboplatin and paclitaxel is recommended for all high-grade ovarian and tubal cancers (FIGO stages I-IIA) (grade A). For FIGO stage III or IV ovarian, tubal, and primary peritoneal cancers, a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax/abdomen/pelvis is recommended (Grade B), as well as laparoscopic exploration to take multiple biopsies (grade A) and a carcinomatosis score (Fagotti score at a minimum) (grade C) to assess the possibility of complete surgery (i.e., leaving no macroscopic tumor residue).

Primary surgery (before other treatment) is recommended whenever it appears possible to leave no tumor residue (grade B). After primary surgery is complete, 6 cycles of intravenous chemotherapy (grade A) are recommended, or a discussion with the patient about intraperitoneal chemotherapy, according to her risk-benefit ratio. After complete interval surgery for FIGO stage III disease, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can be proposed, in accordance with the modalities of the OV-HIPEC trial (grade B). In cases of postoperative tumor residue or in FIGO stage IV tumors, chemotherapy associated with bevacizumab is recommended (grade A).

Faced to an undetermined ovarian mass on ultrasound, an MRI is recommended and the ROMA score (combining CA125 and HE4) can be proposed (grade A). In case of suspected early stage ovarian or fallopian tube cancer, omentectomy (at least infracolonic), appendectomy, multiple peritoneal biopsies, peritoneal cytology (grade C) and pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy are recommended (grade B) for all histological types, except for the expansive mucinous subtype where lymphadenectomy may be omitted (grade C). Minimally invasive surgery is recommended for early stage ovarian cancer, if there is no risk of tumor rupture (grade B). Adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel is recommended for all high-grade ovarian or Fallopian tube cancers, stage FIGO I-IIA (grade A). In case of ovarian, Fallopian tube or primitive peritoneal cancer of FIGO III-IV stages, thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT scan with injection (grade B) is recommended. Laparoscopic exploration for multiple biopsies (grade A) and to evaluate carcinomatosis score (at least using the Fagotti score) (grade C) are recommended to estimate the possibility of a complete surgery (i.e. no macroscopic residue). Complete medial laparotomy surgery is recommended for advanced cancers (grade B). It is recommended in advanced cancers to perform para-aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy in case of clinical or radiological suspicion of metastatic lymph node (grade B). In the absence of clinical or radiological lymphadenopathy and in case of complete peritoneal surgery during an initial surgery for advanced cancer, it is possible not to perform a lymphadenectomy because it does not modify the medical treatment and the overall survival (grade B). Primary surgery is recommended when no tumor residue is possible (grade B). After a complete first surgery, it is recommended to deliver 6 cycles of intravenous (grade A) or to propose intraperitoneal (grade B) chemotherapy, to be discussed with patient, according to the benefit/risk ratio. After a complete interval surgery for a FIGO III stage, the hyperthermic intra peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can be proposed in the same conditions of the OV-HIPEC trial (grade B). In case of tumor residue after surgery or FIGO stage IV, chemotherapy associated with bevacizumab is recommended (grade A).

[Surgery in early-stage ovarian cancer: Article drafted from the French Guidelines in oncology entitled "Initial management of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer" developed by FRANCOGYN, CNGOF, SFOG, GINECO-ARCAGY under the aegis of CNGOF and endorse

Early stage ovarian epithelial cancer (stage I according to the FIGO classification, i.e. limited to ovaries) affects 20% to 33% of patients with ovarian cancer. This chapter only describes data on these presumed early stages. The rate of occult epiploic metastases varies from 2% to 4%, and leads to over-staging in stage III A of 3% to 11% of patients. Performing an omentectomy does not result in a change in survival in this situation (NP4). The rate of appendix metastasis ranges from 0% to 26.7% (NP4). In the mucinous subtype, this rate can reach 53% if the appendix is macroscopically abnormal (NP2). The rate of positive peritoneal cytology ranges from 20.9% to 27%. Positive peritoneal cytology is responsible for over-staging of patients in 4.3% to 52% of cases and appears as a poor prognostic factor on survival (NP4). The rate of occult peritoneal metastases varies from 1.1% to 16%. Performing these peritoneal biopsies results in over-staging of 4% to 7.1% (NP4). In the management of ovarian cancers at a presumed early stage, it is recommended to perform: omentectomy, peritoneal biopsies, cytology, appendectomy (grade C). In case of incomplete or incomplete initial staging, restaging including omentectomy, peritoneal biopsies and appendectomy (if not explored) is recommended; especially in the absence of a reported indication of chemotherapy. The lymph node invasion rate ranges from 6.3% to 22%. It is 4.5% to 18% for stages I and 17.5% to 31% in stages II. Between 8.5% and 13% of patients with suspected early stage ovarian cancer are reclassified to stage IIIA1 following the completion of lymphadenectomy (NP3). Pelvic and lumbo-aortic lymphadenectomy improves the survival of patients with ovarian cancer at a presumptive early stage (NP2). Pelvic and lumbo-aortic lymphadenectomy is recommended for presumed early ovarian stages (grade B). In case of initial treatment of early-stage ovarian cancer without lymph node staging, restadification including lymphadenectomy is recommended; especially in the absence of a stated indication of chemotherapy (grade B). No studies have shown any laparoscopic disadvantage compared to laparotomy for feasibility, safety, or postoperative rehabilitation (NP3) in surgical staging of patients with early-stage ovarian cancer. For the initial surgical management of these patients, the choice between laparoscopy or laparotomy depends on local conditions (tumor size) and surgical expertise. If complete surgery without risk of tumor rupture is possible, the laparoscopic approach is preferred (grade C). In the opposite case, median laparotomy is recommended. As part of surgical restadification, the laparoscopic approach is recommended (grade C). Intraoperative tumor rupture leads to a decrease in disease free survival (hazard ratio=2.28) and overall survival (hazard ratio=3.79) (NP2). It is recommended that all precautions be taken to avoid perioperative ovarian tumor rupture, including the intraoperative decision of laparoconversion (grade C). There is no specific study to answer the question of the feasibility of a one-time or two-time surgery during an extemporane diagnosis of an early stage ovarian cancer. The high sensitivity and specificity of this extemporane examination in this situation makes it possible to consider a surgical management of staging during the same operating time.
