BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the outcome of pelvic exenteration in women with locally advanced primary or recurrent gynecological malignancies. METHODS: All pelvic exenteration procedures performed between 01/2003 and 06/2009 were evaluated. Extent of surgical radicality, operative techniques, and outcome were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier curves were calculated for Overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS: Forty-seven patients (median age: 52.5 years) were evaluated. Ten of 47 patients (21.3%) had a primary and 37(78.7%) a relapsed cancer. Most common (80.8%) site of origin was the cervix. Patients (80.8%) had undergone previous pelvic irradiation. A total exenteration was performed in 32/47 patients (68%). A complete tumor resection was obtained in 23 patients (49%). Thirty-three patients (70.2%) had at least one major complication, including ileus (8.5%), intestinal-fistula (29.8%), ureteral anastomotic insufficiency (6.4%), abscess (6.4%), and cardiothrombotic events (23.4%). At a median follow-up of 7 months (range: 1-42), 22/47 patients (46.8%) died and 22/47 (46.8%) experienced a relapse. Median OS was 4 months (range: 0.1-16) and 22 months (range: 6-42) for patients with versus without postoperative tumor residuals, respectively (P = 0.0006), while median PFS was 4 months (range:0.1-16) versus 12 months (range: 6-42) (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Radical pelvic exenteration due to advanced pelvic malignancies may be associated with a high morbidity. Complete tumor resection is associated with a significantly higher overall and PFS. (c) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
