Ovarian cancer in the elderly

Outline Background Methods Results Conclusions

  • Subgroup analyses: standards feasible in selected elderly

patients : primary surgery, carboplatin-paclitaxel

  • GINECO experience: treatment completion rate

 1999-2003: 72% for carboplatin-cyclophosphamide (n=83)  2004-2006: 68% for carboplatin-paclitaxel (n=75)

Multivariate analysis: negative impact of

  • Age
  • Stage (IV vs III)
  • Paclitaxel-based treatment
  • Depression and emotional disorders
  • Lymphopenia

Outline Background Methods Results Conclusions

  • 111 patients with stage III/IV ovarian cancer

included from 08/2007 to 01/2010 treated with 6 cycles of carboplatin monotherapy (AUC5), +/- primary cytoreduction

  • Primary endpoint: Impact of geriatric covariates on survival
  • Secondary endpoint:

– Impact of telomere length on treatment completion rate (TCr), tolerance and overall survival.

Standard Terminal Restriction Fragment analysis performed at inclusion, after 3 and 6 cycles

Vulnerability increases with telomere shortening

  • No significant correlation with any of the GVS components
  • BUT a correlation between patient telomere length (Short

vs Long) and vulnerability (GVS  3;  2 major criteria)

Major :

  • score ADL < 6
  • score IADL < 25

  • Measuring directly DNA damage response
  • In cell nuclei : TIFs (Telomere-dysfunction Induced Foci)
  • DNA-damage biomarkers

Outline Background Methods Results Conclusions

Telomere length estimation

  • is feasible using standard procedure
  • Identifies a group of elderly patients with Short Telomeres who:
  • Have a lower chance to complete their planned 6 chemotherapy

courses

  • Have a higher risk of chemotherapy toxicity (number of serious

adverse events, unplanned hospital admissions and severe non- haematological grade 3-4 toxicity)

  • Partially overlaps with patient subsets according to the vulnerability

score GVS

  • Might be a risk factor for premature death independent from FIGO

stage
