2 Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this presentation participants should understand the following: Features of hereditary breast/ovarian cancer, colon cancer and melanoma Cancer risks associated with mutations Use of genetic test results in medical management Relevant health insurance issues © 2006 Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc.

3 Impact of Hereditary Cancer in Your Practice Hereditary cancer is more common than previously thought –Approximately 20% of breast cancer and colorectal cancer patients are at-risk for a hereditary cancer syndrome Mutations in genes associated with hereditary cancer dramatically increase the risks for cancer development Specific medical management options are available to reduce cancer risks Cancer. 2005 Dec 15;104(12):2807-16 Cancer Res 2006; 66(15): 7810-7) J Clin Oncol. 2003;21(23):4364-70 Cancer. 2002 Jan 15;94(2):305-1 Cancer. 2005 Nov ;104(9):1849-53

9 Ovarian Cancer AFTER Breast Cancer in BRCA carriers 10-fold increased risk compared to noncarriers –No effective ovarian cancer screening –Prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy recommended (NCCN) J Clin Oncol. 1998 16:2417-242 Gynecol Oncol. 2005 Jan;96(1):222-6 www.nccn.org

Risks for male BRCA1 mutation carriers are less characterized

11 Medical Management Options for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Increased Surveillance Breast- Self exam, clinical exams, mammograms, MRI Ovary- CA-125, pelvic exam, transvaginal ultrasound Chemoprevention Breast- Tamoxifen Ovary- Oral Contraceptives Prophylactic surgery Bilateral Mastectomy Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy JAMA 2000; 283:617-24

13 Chemoprevention of Breast Cancer Tamoxifen Affected BRCA carriers: 50% decrease for contralateral breast cancer Unaffected BRCA2 carriers: 62% decrease Unaffected high-risk: 45% decrease Aromatase inhibitors are currently under investigation Int J Cancer. 2006;118(9):2281-4 Lancet 2000;356:1876-81 JAMA 2001;286:2251-6 JNCI 1998; 90:1371-88

14 Chemoprevention of Ovarian Cancer Oral Contraceptives NEJM 1998; 339:424-8 NEJM 2001;345:235-40 JNCI 2002;94:1773-9 Ca Epi Biomarkers Prev. 2005 Feb;14(2):350-6 Up to 60% risk reduction for ovarian cancer Current literature supports there is no evidence that current low-dose oral contraceptive formulations increase the risk of early onset breast cancer for mutation positive individuals

15 Prophylactic Mastectomy Greater than 90% breast cancer risk reduction in BRCA carriers Total (simple) mastectomy more effective than subcutaneous mastectomy NEJM 2001;345:159-64 JNCI 2001;93:1633-7 JCO 2004;22:1055-62 BJC 93(3):287-92

16 Prophylactic Oophorectomy Recommend bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) at age 35 or after childbearing is complete ~96% ovarian cancer risk reduction in BRCA carriers Can reduce breast cancer risk by up to 68% for both BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers JAMA. 2006;296:185-92 Clin Oncol. 2005 Mar 10;23(8):1656-63 NEJM 2002;346:1609-15 www.nccn.org

21 Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Cancer 1996;78:1149-67 Am J Med 1999;107:68-77 Gastroenterology 2000;119:837-53 Am J Path 2003;162:1545-8

22 Hereditary Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Syndromes Nonpolyposis (few to no adenomas) HNPCC – CRC and/or endometrial cancer (EC) Polyposis (multiple adenomas) FAP – Severe colonic polyposis +/- CRC AFAP – Less severe colonic polyposis +/- CRC MAP – Varying degrees of colonic polyposis +/- CRC

23 Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) Cancer 1996;78:1149-67 J Clin Oncol 2003;21:1174-9 J Clin Oncol 2004;22:4486-94

24 “Red Flags” for HNPCC/Lynch Syndrome Early onset colorectal cancer (<50y) Early onset endometrial cancer (<50y) Two or more HNPCC cancers in an individual or family* *HNPCC cancers: colorectal, endometrial, gastric, ovarian, ureter/renal pelvis, biliary tract, small bowel, pancreas, brain, sebaceous adenoma

25 HNPCC Increases Lifetime Cancer Risk Risk of Cancer (%) 7% Up to 80% 1.5% Up to 71% Gastroenterology 1996;110:1020-7; Int J Cancer 1999;81:214-8; Gastroenterology 2004;127:17-25; Gastroenterology 1996;110:1020-7; Int J Cancer 1999;81:214-8 12% 2% <1% 13% <1% <5% *Ureter/renal pelvis *Biliary tract *Small bowel *Pancreas *Brain *Sebaceous adenoma

26 HNPCC Increases Risk of Second Cancer Risk of Cancer (%) Cancer 1977;40:1849 Dis Colon Rectum 1986;29:160 Cancer 1993;36:388-93 3.5% 30% 5% 50%

27 Hereditary vs Sporadic Colorectal Cancer Colon Cancer PatientSporadicHNPCC/Lynch 2 nd HNPCC cancer (**colorectal/endometrial) 5%/1.5%50% Ovarian Cancer<1%N/A Surveillance Colonoscopy TV US, Pelvic, CA-125 1 yr, then every 2-3yr Not Indicated annual 25-35y Surgical Options Colectomy TAH-BSO Not Indicated Consider at CRC diagnosis ↓ Endo ca 100%,↓ Ov ca 95%

28 Rationale for Frequent Colonoscopy Accelerated progression from adenoma to cancer –HNPCC, 1-3 years –General population, 5-10 years Adenomas/cancers are often right-sided in HNPCC Reduces CRC risk by more than 50%, overall mortality reduced by 65% Gastroenterology 1993;104:1535-49 Am J Med 1999;107:68-77 Gastroenterology 2000;118:829-34

29 HNPCC Surgical Guidelines Colorectal cancer or more than one advanced adenoma –Colectomy With ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) May be considered for patients unable/unwilling to undergo frequent colonoscopies –Hemicolectomy With yearly colonoscopy Endometrial/Ovarian cancer –Hysterectomy/salpingo-oophorectomy Option for HNPCC patients at time of any intra-abdominal surgery Option after childbearing is complete

30 Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Adenomatous Polyposis Syndromes The majority of colonic adenomatous polyposis is caused by mutations in one of two genes –APC –MYH The conditions associated with mutations in these genes include: –Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) –Attenuated Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (AFAP) –MYH-Associated Polyposis (MAP) Am J Gastroenterol 2006;101(2):385-98.

31 Various Presentations of Adenomatous Polyposis Syndromes Condition:FAPAFAPMAP Gene:APC MYH Inheritance Pattern: Autosomal Dominant Autosomal Recessive Polyp Number: 100 or moreLess than 1000 - 1000 Additional Information 20-30% of cases will be first affected individual in family Variable presentation and clinical overlap necessitates testing for all three conditions Am J Gastroenterol 2006;101(2):385-98.

32 Hereditary Melanoma Other genes: CDK4, p14ARF (~2%) Sporadic © 2006 Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc. Hereditary Unknown Genes (~ 60%) p16 (20%-40%) ~10%

34 A p16 Mutation Increases Melanoma Risk J Natl Cancer Inst 2002;94:894-903 Int J Cancer 2000;87:809-11 *US population

35 American Society of Clinical Oncology Guidelines for Genetic Testing Personal or family history features suggestive of a genetic cancer susceptibility condition Test can be adequately interpreted Test results will aid in diagnosis or influence medical management of the patient and/or family JCO 2003; 21:2397-2406

36 Societal Standards and Guidelines ACCC- Association of Community Cancer Centers AMA- American Medical Association ASBS- American Society of Breast Surgeons ASCO- American Society of Clinical Oncology NCCN- National Comprehensive Cancer Network ONS- Oncology Nurses Society SGO- Society of Gynecologic Oncologists SSO- Society of Surgical Oncology USPSTF- U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

37 Genetic Testing Benefits –Allows for individualized medical management –Accurate risk assessment –Alleviates uncertainty and anxiety Limitations –Positives and true negatives are most informative results –Genetic testing does not identify all causes of hereditary cancer © 2006 Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc.

38 Insurance Coverage of Genetic Testing All major carriers provide coverage for genetic testing Established guidelines –Medicare –Most major carriers © 2007 Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc.

39 Genetic Discrimination Myth versus Reality Federal and state laws prohibit the use of genetic information as a ‘pre-existing condition’ –Federal HIPAA legislation –The majority of states have additional laws Over 175,000 clinical tests performed to date No documented cases of genetic discrimination AJHG 2000;66:293-307

40 In Summary: 1.Screen for “Red Flags” Cancer <50 (Breast, Colorectal, Endometrial) Multiple primaries Constellation of specific cancers Family history Jewish ancestry 2.Discuss genetic testing options 3.Establish appropriate medical management plan
