What is Ovarian Cancer?
• The most common type of Ovarian Cancer that starts from epithelial cells –gland forming cells
•Adenocarcinoma ** Other common adenocarcinomas are found in the breast, colon, lung, prostate, uterus, sometimes cervix
• Other types of Ovarian Cancer start in the:»“eggs”(germ cell tumors)»body of the Ovary (stromal tumors)

Who develops Ovarian Adenocarcinoma?
• 15% Genetic Susceptibility known genetic susceptibility
• BRCA 1 / 2, HNPCC• Lifetime risk up to 50% of developing Ovarian Cancer
• 85% spontaneous somatic mutation• Lifetime risk < 2% of developing Ovarian Cancer
![Page 4: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Who develops Spontaneous Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
• Risk Factors– increased age, (average age
at diagnosis 63 years old)– never becoming pregnant,
infertility – increased BMI > 30, – personal history of breast
cancer.– Estrogen alone hormone
replacement therapy
• Protective– Having Tubal Ligation– Hysterectomy– Multiple pregnancies– Pregnancy before 35 yo– Birth Control Pills

How does Ovarian Cancer Present?
• Vague Symptoms– Bloating, Distention, Changes in Bowel and Bladder Function,
Pelvic / Abdominal Pain, Decreased Appetite– Symptoms persist and increase over time
• >70% of women will present with •Advanced Stage Ovarian Cancer–Cancer has spread throughout the abdomen and
sometimes beyond (lungs, liver)
![Page 8: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How do we treat Ovarian Cancer?
• Current Approach -- Surgery and Chemotherapy• Primary Tumor Reductive Surgery (PDS)
– Surgery Chemotherapy
• Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT)– Chemotherapy Surgery Chemotherapy
• Goal of Surgery remove all visible disease• Goal of Chemotherapy kill all cancer cells
![Page 9: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Past Significant Improvement in Ovarian Cancer Outcomes
• Tumor Reductive Surgery• Optimal Tumor Reductive Surgery -- No residual cancer > 1 cm• Suboptimal – Residual Cancer > 2 cm
• Chemotherapy• Intraperitoneal + Intravenous Chemotherapy• Intravenous Chemotherapy Dose-Dense
• High Volume Surgeons (Gynecologic Oncologists) and High Volume Facilities• Risk Reduction by identifying women with a genetic susceptibility to ovarian
cancer
![Page 10: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Important Questions at time of diagnosis
• Will surgery remove all the visible cancer?• How much cancer is present to begin with?• How aggressive is the cancer?• How much skill and effort needed?
• (Will chemotherapy kill the cancer?)• Is the cancer sensitive or resistant to “platinum”?
![Page 11: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How the decision is made
• Assessment of Woman– Functional Status
» Need assistance in taking medication» Limit walking less than 1 block» Falls in last 6 months» Fair or worse hearing
–Overall Health Status and Co-morbidities » Anemia, Decreased Kidney function by blood test, » Multiple other medical problems such as Cardiovascular and Pulmonary
– Cognitive Abilities– Psychological and Social Support.
![Page 12: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Assessment of the Disease
• Symptoms / Physical Exam / Tumor Marker• Imaging (CT scan)• Fagotti Score –Laparoscopic Assessment– Anderson Algorithm
![Page 13: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Anticipated “Radicalness” of the Surgery
• Procedures may include: • Resection of Pelvic tumor including uterus ovaries and
fallopian tubes,• omentectomy• selective lymph node removal, • bowel resection, • removal of peritoneal implants, including diaphragm, • splenectomy, appendectomy
![Page 14: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Complete Tumor Resection
• Surgeon knowledge, experience and skill• Biology of the Specific Cancer –Genomic signatures may be predictive– Stromal-tumor interaction appear important– TGF-beta signaling may be a therapeutic target
![Page 15: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT)
–Chemotherapy given before surgery (usually 3 cycles)
–NACT not inferior to Primary Tumor Reductive Surgery
–NACT significantly improved the completeness of surgery with less residual disease at time of surgery
– Less post-operative morbidity and mortality with NACT
– Increased rate of Blood Transfusions
![Page 16: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Women who benefit most from NACT
– Extensive Stage IIIC that is too extensive for optimal surgical resection by imaging or laparoscopic scoring
– Stage IV disease (Complete Resection <10%)
– Performance status too poor to undergo attempt at major surgery, particularly extensive surgery
– No access to experience Gynecologic Oncology surgical team
![Page 17: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Standard of Care (SOC) Chemotherapy
CarboplatinTaxol (Paclitaxel)
• Intravenous• Every 3 weeks (before surgery and / or start within 6 weeks after surgery)
• for 6 treatments (@ 18 weeks)
• Well tolerated – (nausea, bone marrow suppression, hair loss, peripheral
neuropathy, fatigue) • Not all women in US are receiving SOC
![Page 18: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Research related to 1st line Chemotherapy
• Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy• Dose Dense Chemotherapy• Possible additional agents (disease response / toxicity)
• Changes in the Staging and Histology Classification System• Changes in Research Endpoint Definitions.
• Research continues to show that the most significant influence in outcome is stage of disease and completeness of surgical resection.
![Page 19: Updates in Ovarian Cancer Care Lisa McCluskey, MD Gynecologic Oncologist June 16, 2015 Compass Oncology in partnership with Ovarian Cancer Alliance of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dcf5503460f94ac4773/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Recurrent Ovarian Cancer is a Chronic Disease Process
• For most women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the cancer will recur and the cancer becomes a chronic disease.– Over 70% of all women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will
have recurrent disease.• Good news is that women are living longer with better quality of
life with recurrent ovarian cancer.– Better control of the cancer with newer treatment options

Molecular Profiling
• Identifying abnormalities in an individual person’s cancer that may be altered in a that cancer.– Less about the ‘type’ of cancer and more about specific
functions of the cells• Usually are able to obtain a massive amount of information for very
small fragments of the tumor. • Different methods – examples --DNA Sequencing, Microscopic Staining
• Currently in ovarian cancer there are few findings that are “actionable”– cancer treatments available targeted at a specific abnormality

PARP Poly ADP-ribose polymerase (DNA Repair Enzyme)
• Healthy cells undergo replication. Cancer cells replicate quickly and often. – Sometimes there are breaks or mistakes in the duplication of the DNA to form new
cells.– Healthy cells are able to activate a couple of different DNA repair pathways. One of
these pathways is regulated by a PARP enzyme.• When there a defect in the BRCA 1 or 2 gene (gene mutation)
– The ”other” DNA repair pathways doesn’t work.
– DNA repair pathways is dependent on PARP enzyme to repair the DNA.
– If the PARP action is blocked (by a PARP Inhibitor) then the PARP pathways is also will not function. There is no “back-up” repair system.
– If the DNA can’t repair itself, it can’t replicate—leading to cell death and replication is stopped.
