MIRRORS Trial: MIS in Ovarian Cancer with Christina Uwins
Manage episode 427912250 series 3480180
In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Christina Uwins to discuss the MIRRORS trial. Christina Uwins is a final year Subspecialty Fellow in Gynaecological Oncology, working together with Mr Simon Butler-Manuel on the MIRRORS study based at Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, Guildford, UK. Christina has clinical, research and teaching experience and is enthusiastic about continuing her work in Gynaecological Oncology.
Highlights:
- Retrospective studies have suggested that minimally invasive interval debulking surgery is feasible.
- There are no prospective trials on robotic interval debulking surgery for advanced ovarian cancer.
- MIRRORS is a prospective cohort study assessing the feasibility of robotic interval debulking surgery for advanced-stage ovarian cancer.
- MIRRORS demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic interval debulking surgery in advanced-stage ovarian cancer. MIRRORS is the first in a series of three planned trials culminating in a multicenter international randomized controlled trial of MIRRORS protocol -versus standard open interval debulking surgery (MIRRORS-RCT).
- In the UK and Europe, the majority of patients with advanced ovarian cancer have interval debulking surgery performed through an open approach. If non-inferiority of robotic interval debulking surgery with regards to survival (overall and progression free) is confirmed by an adequately powered randomized controlled trial, this could lead to a significant change in practice.
