BRCA 1-Associated Cancers: Lifetime Risk ASCO 1998 Possible increased risk of other cancers (eg, prostrate, colon) Breast cancer 50%-85% (often early age at onset) Second primary breast cancer 40%-60% Ovarian cancer 15%-45%
BRCA2-Associated Cancers: Lifetime Risk Increased risk of prostate, laryngeal, and pancreatic cancers (magnitude unknown) Breast cancer (50%-85%) Ovarian cancer (10%-20%) Male breast cancer (6%) ASCO 1998

American Cancer Society ( Ovarian Cancer: Scope of the Problem In the US 22,220 new cases estimated for 2005 –3% of cancer in women –2nd gynecologic cancer 16,210 deaths estimated for 2005 –Leading cause of death of gynecologic cancers 70% to 75% Stage III or IV at diagnosis Five-year survival: 44% overall –Advanced stage: 29% Most will develop recurrent disease
Ovarian Cancer Therapy Proven factors that determine outcome –Surgical staging with optimal surgical effort –Chemotherapy with a platinum agent combination with consideration for peritoneal delivery –Monitoring of progress with frequent examination to determine therapy effectiveness
Ovarian Cancer Symptoms Abdominal/pelvic pain Vaginal bleeding Bloating Abdominal distension Irregular menses Change in bowel habits
First-Line Therapy – Treatment Considerations
First-Line Therapy – Standard Treatment Options Platinum + Taxane Chemotherapy (Carboplatin + Paclitaxel) Surgery with maximum cytoreduction effort
What has been the standard of care for the treatment of advanced stage ovarian cancer?
NCI Monograph, 1975 ● First to evaluate effect of debulking in stage II-III ovarian cancer patients ● Histologic grade also important prognostic factor Surgical Resection of Tumor Bulk in the Primary Treatment of Ovarian Carcinoma C. Thomas Griffiths Table 2 – Survival, by diameter of largest residual mass Size (cm) Number of PatientsMST (mo) >
Ovarian Cancer: Surgical Treatment is more than a hysterectomy Significant survival advantage for women optimally cytoreduced Procedures may include: –En bloc resection of uterus, ovaries and pelvic tumor –Omentectomy –Selective lymphadenectomy –Bowel resection –Removal of diaphragmatic and peritoneal implants –Splenectomy, appendectomy % Cytoreduction Median Survival (Months) Bristow, J., Clin. Oncol. 20: 1248, 2002
AJOG, 1994 ● Confirmed the prognostic significance of residual disease in patients with advanced ovarian cancer from GOG protocols 52 and 97
JCO, 2002 ● 81 cohorts of stage III/IV ovarian cancer patients evaluated using linear regresssion models ● Each 10% increase in cytoreduction associated with 5.5% increase in median survival ● Platinum dose intensity not significant JCO, 2002
Evaluating the Role of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Advanced Ovarian Cancer EORTC From , 718 randomized between PDS vs. neoadjuvant chemo with IDS after 3 cycles Only 46% optimal in PDS arm Not all patients treated with taxane Morbidity and mortality higher in the PDS arm
What new standards have evolved over the past decade for the treatment of advanced stage ovarian cancer?
Extensive Upper Abdominal Surgery in Advanced Stage Ovarian Cancer 229 EUAS procedures in 141 patients – diaphragm stripping/resection, splenectomy, partial hepatectomy, distal pancreatectomy Residual disease None – 30% < 1 cm – 60% > 1 cm – 10% Mortality 1.4%, grade 3-5 morbidity – 22% Median survival 57 mos.

Theory of Peritoneal Therapy Ovarian Cancer predominantly intraperitoneal disease Dissemination is by exfoliation or “snow globe” phenomena Peritoneal infusion may increase cell kill with less systemic exposures
Peritoneal Therapy Regional Perfusion High Drug Concentration Systemic Compartment Low Drug Concentration Locoregional Dedrick 1977
Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy offers Survival Advantage in Optimally Debulked Stage III Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma GOG 172: PFS RR 0.73 GOG 114: PFS RR 0.78 Surv RR 0.81 GOG 104: Survival HR 0.76
Bevacizumab Phase II studies –GOG CR 11 PR /62 patients (21%) PFS 4.7 months –Increased risk of bowel perforations Phase III trial –GOG 218 presented in abstract form –Improved time to recurrence with maintenance
