Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between molecular subtype, intraperitoneal (IP) disease dissemination patterns, resectability, and overall survival (OS) in advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).MethodsPatients undergoing primary surgery for stage III-IV HGSOC at Mayo Clinic from 1994 to 2011 were categorized into three IP disease dissemination patterns: upper abdominal or miliary; lower abdominal; and pelvic. Residual disease was defined as 0 (RD0), 0.1-0.5, 0.6-1.0, or >1 cm. Molecular subtypes were derived from Agilent 4x44k tumor mRNA expression profiles and categorized as mesenchymal (MES) or non-mesenchymal (non-MES).ResultsOperative and molecular data was available for 334 patients. Median OS was shorter in patients with MES compared to non-MES subtypes (34.2 vs 44.6 months; P = 0.009). Patients with MES subtype were more likely to have upper abdominal/miliary disease compared to non-MES subtype (90% vs. 72%, P
