Incidence and prevalence in U.S. women

• 21,410 new cases estimated for 2021;incidence is dropping

• Remains the second most common gyn tumor in the U.S.

• ~235,000 women living w/ ovarian cancer in U.S.

Mortality in U.S. women• 13,770 estimated deaths in

2021; survival is improving• 5th most common cause of

cancer death in women

Newly diagnosed ovarian cancer management: 2021• Basic principles

• Surgery by a gynecologic oncologist is associated with improved survival1• Extent of cytoreduction (debulking) is classified by residual disease following surgery

• Suboptimal: >1 cm of residual tumor• Optimal: ≤1 cm of residual tumor• NED (R0): No gross residual disease

• Considerations in the approach to initial disease treatment• Upfront surgery versus neoadjuvant treatment decision should be made by a gyn onc surgeon• Multiple randomized trials show equivalency of upfront surgery versus neoadjuvant, but ability

to do upfront surgery is associated with a better outcome • Optimal schedule of carboplatin and paclitaxel: q3 week = weekly• Addition of bevacizumab to carbo/paclitaxel + maintenance prolongs PFS but not OS• Histology specific treatment• HIPEC: only used at high volume centers; median overall survival was 33.9 months in the

surgery group and 45.7 months in the surgery-plus-HIPEC

Classification of ovarian cancer includes molecular data

High grade serous or endometrioid

Low grade endometrioid

Low gradeserous

Clear Cell Mucinous

Genetic characteristics

Up to 50% have HRDAssociated with TP53 and BRCA mutations

PTEN, ARID1A, PIK3CAalterations

May have Microsatellite instability

KRAS, BRAF mutations

PIK3CA, ARID1A, PTEN

KRAS; may have microsatellite instability

Clinicalcharacteristics

Platinum and PARP inhibitor sensitivity

Carcinosarcomas are treated like high grade serous cancers

Potentially more responsive to hormonal therapy, although not established

Hormonaltherapies

MEK inhibitors

May be more sensitive to immumotherapy

Are more resistant to chemotherapy

2020 Germline and Somatic Tumor Testing in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: ASCO Guidelines

• All women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer should have germline Panel testing at diagnosis.

• Somatic tumor testing for BRCA 1 and 2 should be performed in women who do not carry a germline abnormal BRCA1/2 gene mutations-- 11 recognized hereditary mutations: BRCA1, BRCA2, MSH2, MLH1, PMS2,

PALB2, BARD1, RAD51C, RAD51D, and BRIP1-- 15% of women with high grade serous ovarian cancer have germline BRCA

mutations-- 6% of patients with high grade serous histology have somatic BRCA mutations

• Women diagnosed with clear cell, endometrioid, or mucinous ovarian cancer should be offered somatic tumor testing for mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR).

Mechanisms of Action• Inhibit the function of PARP• Formation of PARP-DNA complexes through PARP

trapping

Cannot be combined easily; doses/schedules need to be adjusted because of observed myelosuppression

PARP Inhibitors

Can be more easily combined with chemotherapy

Histology specific treatment: Low grade Serous Cancer

• High proportion of LGSC’s have estrogen and progesterone receptor expression• Hormonal therapy has efficacy in recurrent LGSC• Gershenson et al: retrospective study of 203 patients (stage II to IV) LGSC

treated with surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy• Retrospective analysis 2 groups: no maintenance therapy versus hormonal

therapy• Results: PFS higher for women receiving hormonal therapy (most rec’d an AI)

than patients receiving no maintenance:

Hormonal therapy: 64.9 monthsObservation: 26.4 months

Recurrent Ovarian Cancer• The majority of patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer will recur• Recurrences (in US) most often detected by rising CA125

• Follow-up typically every 3 months for first 2 years, every 6 months for next 3 years following initial treatment

• Recurrences defined by time since initial platinum-based therapy• Platinum-refractory: failed to achieve at least a partial response to therapy/growth on

platinum or growth within 4 weeks of platinum completion• Platinum-resistant: recurrence within 6 months of last platinum-based therapy• Platinum-sensitive: recurrence more than 6 months after last platinum-based therapy

• Can also treat per “platinum appropriate” or “not appropriate”• FDA approved treatments

• Chemotherapy +/- bevacizumab• PARP inhibitors

NINJA trial (phase 3): ICI versus single agent chemotherapy for platinum resistant ovarian cancer:No improvement in OS with nivolumab compared with either gem or PLD

Results:

Median OS 10.12 months with nivolumab 12.09 months with GEM/PLD (NS HR 1.03, 95% CI, 0.80-1.32; P=0.808).

Median PFS2.04 months nivo3.84 months with GEM or PLD (HR 1.46; 95% CI, 1.15-1.85; P=0.002).

ORR:Was non-significantly lower in the nivolumab group (7.6% vs 13.2%; p=0.191).
