Overall five-year survival rates for ovarian cancer have improved from 36% to 44%

This is not consistent for all patients Three large population-based studies have now shown that less than 50% of women with ovarian cancer in the US receive guideline therapy

the average and high-risk population OBJECTIVES

slide-19
SLIDE 19

OVARIAN CANCER SCREENING CHALLENGES

Debatable precursor or in situ lesion Major surgical procedure required for diagnosis Even if only 1% of tests are false-positive, 25 women would require surgery for each diagnosed cancer Lifetime probability of developing ovarian cancer is <2%

USPSTF, ACOG & SGO do not recommend routine screening for ovarian cancer in an average risk patient

slide-20
SLIDE 20

OVARIAN CANCER ESTIMATION OF RISK

The importance of identifying patients at high risk cannot be overemphasized Vignette-based survey of Ob/Gyns, internal medicine and family medicine physicians found that 2/3 of physicians underestimated the risk of ovarian cancer in a patient at much higher risk than the general population

Baldwin LM et al. J Gen Intern Med 2013

SCREENING FOR OVARIAN CANCER HIGH-RISK PATIENT

Definition of High Risk

Personal History

Premenopausal breast cancer

Family History

1st or 2nd degree relative with ovarian cancer at any age 1st degree relative with breast cancer <50, bilateral breast cancer or male breast cancer 1st degree relative with colon or uterine cancer <50

Genetic syndrome

BRCA 1 or 2 mutation Lynch syndrome

Reproductive factors

History of infertility or endometriosis

Lifetime risk estimated at 5% Lifetime risk 35-45% (BRCA1) 15-25% (BRCA2) Lifetime risk 10-12% Clear cell & endometrioid

slide-22
SLIDE 22

SCREENING FOR OVARIAN CANCER HIGH-RISK PATIENTS

For patients with an identified hereditary ovarian cancer syndrome, consider TVUS & CA 125 every 6-12 months starting at age 30-35 or 5-10 years before the earliest cancer diagnosis in a family member

slide-23
SLIDE 23

SCREENING FOR OVARIAN CANCER HIGH-RISK PATIENTS

■ UK Familial Ovarian Cancer Screening Study ■ 3,563 women with ≥10% lifetime risk of ovarian cancer recruited for study ■ Screening every 4 months with CA 125 and TVUS ■ Of cancers detected, 30.8% stage I/II ■ Sensitivity of 75%, PPV 25.5%, NPV 99.9% ■ Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy remains the standard of care

SYMPTOMS AS SCREEN?

Previous survey of 1,725 women with ovarian cancer demonstrated prevalence of symptoms even in women with early stage disease

Abdominal/GI symptoms most common

Subsequent case-control study performed to assess symptoms

Preoperative survey given to 128 patients undergoing surgery for a pelvic mass 44 women within this group found to have ovarian cancer Identical survey given to 1709 women presenting to primary care clinic

Prospective study of women >40

1,261 patients screened  if (+) referred for CA125 & TVS

Mean score of acceptability = 4.8 (1-5) 51 (4%) women had a positive SI

slide-36
SLIDE 36

USE OF SYMPTOM INDEX TO TRIGGER EVALUATION

In a prospective study, 5,012 women were enrolled to complete a symptom index (SI) assessment

SI

  • Women >40 with at least one ovary

and not pregnant

SI+

  • Those with positive SI offered CA 125

and TVUS

  • CA 125 >35 considered abnormal

SEER

  • 12 months after study completion, all participants

linked to Western Washington SEER to assess for diagnosis of ovarian cancer

slide-37
SLIDE 37

SYMPTOM-TRIGGERED DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

Of the study cohort, at baseline 8% had IBS and 20% had GERD 241 (4.8%) had a positive SI

211 (88%) participated in additional testing with TVUS & CA 125 20 procedures were performed in study participants within 6 months of a positive SI

8 ovarian cancer cases detected

2 diagnosed within 6 months of the SI

1 had a positive SI and was diagnosed 31 days later with distant disease 1 had a negative SI; however she had a family history of ovarian cancer and was undergoing evaluation for a pelvic mass at the time of study participation

6 diagnosed 281-843 days after participation in the study

3 had early stage disease

Andersen MR et al. Obstet Gynecol 2014

slide-38
SLIDE 38

SYMPTOM-TRIGGERED DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

Evaluation resulted in 0.4% patients undergoing surgery Very low number of ovarian cancer cases diagnosed within 6 months of symptom index completion Long-term follow-up identified 6 cancers

Possible that study participation provided women with education about ovarian cancer symptoms, spurring them to seek evaluation

  • f subsequent symptoms

Real value may lie in its ability to act indirectly as an educational tool

Andersen MR et al. Obstet Gynecol 2014

slide-39
SLIDE 39

SYMPTOM TRIGGERED SCREENING COMBINATION WITH BIOMARKERS

The symptom index may have improved sensitivity and specificity if combined with biomarkers Prospective evaluation of 74 women with ovarian cancer and 137 healthy controls

Symptom index (administered pre-diagnosis to cancer patients) CA 125 & HE4

When symptom index plus CA125 or HE 4 was positive, this yielded specificity of 98% for ovarian cancer

MR Andersen et al. Gynecol Oncol 2010

slide-40
SLIDE 40

American Cancer Society now recommends that women see their doctor if they experience symptoms of:

Abdominal swelling or bloating Pelvic pressure or pain Difficulty eating or feeling full Problems with urination

Not all symptoms = ovarian cancer, but consider it on your differential!

Consider poor specificity of this test in premenopausal women! Presence of other conditions that can increase CA 125

HE4

WHEN CONSIDERING OVARIAN CANCER ON YOUR DIFFERENTIAL FOR THE PATIENT WITH SYMPTOMS

Pelvic exam?

Evidence does not support the use of a pelvic exam to screen patients for ovarian cancer However, exam may reveal findings that impact diagnostic evaluation (e.g. pelvic mass, lymphadenopathy, ascites) or identify other cause of symptoms

Transvaginal ultrasound  Presence of mass?

Free fluid in pelvis, ascites Solid component Thick septations Peritoneal masses

PERFORMANCE SURVIVORSHIP – MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH

“Chemo brain”

Studies have shown variable rates of cognitive dysfunction following therapy for ovarian cancer Consider relaxation techniques, physical exercise programs, “brain training” Avoid continuing benzodiazepines!

Psychological effects

In a prospective study of ovarian cancer patients, depression levels were found to decrease 3 months after chemotherapy, however levels

  • f anxiety were found to increase

Cognitive behavioral therapy, antidepressant/antianxiety medication
