Progression patterns and management after frontline platinum in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

e17581 Background: Most patients with EOC relapse after frontline platinum-based chemotherapy, even with maintenance therapy. Oligoprogression may define a distinct, locally treatable relapse pattern. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed advanced EOC patients treated at our institution (January/2014–December/2024) with surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, or achieving radiologic complete response after frontline platinum chemotherapy without surgery. Progression was categorized as oligoprogression (1–5 lesions; group A) or multiple progression (group B). Associations were assessed using chi-square tests. Survival outcomes were estimated by Kaplan–Meier and compared by Cox regression. Baseline characteristics are summarized in the Table. Results: Among 107 patients (mean age 65±9.3 years), 75 (70%) relapsed and 29/75 (39%) had oligoprogression. Group A had a higher rate of frontline PARP inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance than group B (14/15 vs 11/35; p=0.02) and fewer metastatic sites at relapse (p=0.01). In the overall cohort, progression-free survival (PFS) >12 months from the end of frontline chemotherapy was associated with a higher likelihood of receiving local vs systemic therapy (p=0.002). In group A, median overall survival (OS) was 110.4±32.4 months and median PFS was 12.5±0.88 months. Local therapy (surgery and/or radiotherapy) versus systemic therapy was associated with longer OS (102.6 vs 34.3 months; p<0.001) and PFS (18.8 vs 9.4 months; p=0.003). Maintenance duration >12 months showed a trend toward longer PFS (25.4 vs 13.4 months; p=0.053). Excluding bevacizumab, PARPi >12 months versus ≤12/no maintenance showed a non-significant trend toward longer PFS (24.5 vs 13.1 months; p=0.10). Conclusions: In this real-world cohort, frontline PARPi maintenance was associated with a higher proportion of oligoprogressive relapse. Among oligoprogressive patients, local therapy was associated with clinically meaningful OS and PFS prolongation, supporting its consideration within multidisciplinary post-progression management.
