Fagotti Score at Interval Surgery in Ovarian Cancer with Flurina Saner

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Flurina Saner to discuss the Fagotti Score at interval surgery in ovarian cancer. Dr. Saner, gynecologist and obstetrician, is a gynae oncology fellow at the University Hospital Inselspital Bern, Switzerland. Her research focuses on patients with ovarian cancer and clinical and molecular determinants for long-term survival.   Highlights: The Fagotti score after neoadjuvant treatment shows a strong correlation with resection status, progression-free and overall survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer ΔFagotti – indicating the change of the score during neoadjuvant chemotherapy - tracks with outcome after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for ovarian cancer Fagotti scores are valuable for an individualized patient treatment planning and should be routinely assessed at time of interval debulking surgery. The prognostic value of the Fagotti score after neoadjuvant therapy should be further validated in a prospective study, f.e. the LANCE trial.
