CONCLUSION These luminal subtypes may benefit from targeted IGFR therapy in the future. BACKGROUND/AIM Recent studies suggested that patients with oligometastases have a better prognosis compared with those who have widespread dissemination. In both groups, radiotherapy is a commonly applied treatment. Patient-reported symptoms might depend on the burden of disease. Possibly, oligometastatic patients report lower scores for symptoms, such as fatigue or reduced appetite, which tend to worsen as the disease progresses to a later stage. Therefore, we analyzed the symptom scores in two groups of patients with or without oligometastatic disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed in 83 patients who received palliative, non-ablative radiotherapy for distant metastases. The Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) was employed to assess the pre-radiotherapy symptoms. RESULTS The oligometastatic group was smaller than anticipated (n=11). The ESAS score differences were not statistically significant. However, oligometastatic patients reported less fatigue, pain and dry mouth (p less then 0.2). They also had a better performance status. The median survival of oligometastatic patients was longer (8.1 vs. 5.5 months, p=0.17), in the absence of ablative metastases-directed treatment. CONCLUSION The oligometastatic state is not a major contributor to the variable patient-reported symptom scores. BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of the study was to assess the outcome of advanced ovarian cancer patients who i) underwent primary surgery followed by carboplatin/paclitaxel-based chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab, ii) were in complete response after chemotherapy, iii) and subsequently recurred. PATIENTS AND METHODS The hospital records of 138 complete responders after chemotherapy with (n=58) or without (n=80) bevacizumab we
