OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present analysis was to explore the efficacy of Bevacizumab (Bev) on survival outcome in advanced low grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) both in first line and in recurrent setting. METHODS: In retrospective observational multicenter study, we described the outcome of LGSOC patients enrolled in the MITO 22 study and treated with chemotherapy (CT) with or without Bev. Patients receiving Bev in first-line or in recurrence were considered and compared with patients receiving CT alone (stage III and IV in first line; platinum based-CT in second line)...

INTRODUCTION: Uterine leiomyosarcomas (uLMS) are rare, highly aggressive tumors. Up to 30% of uLMS may harbor gain of function (GOF) in the MAP2K4 gene, important for tumor cell proliferation, differentiation and metastasis. We investigated the in vivo activity of a novel MAP2K4 inhibitor, PLX8725, against uLMS harboring MAP2K4 gene-amplification. METHODS: Two fully characterized uLMS (i.e., LEY-11 and LEY-16) were grafted into female CB-17/SCID mice. Treatments with control vehicle or PLX8725 (50 mg/kg) were given via oral gavage daily on weekdays for up to 60 days...

OBJECTIVE: Chromatin remodeling genes (CRGs) encode components of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms and alterations in these genes have been identified in several tumor types, including gynecologic cancers. In this study, we sought to investigate the prevalence and clinicopathological associations of CRG alterations in endometrial carcinoma (EC). METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 660 ECs sequenced using a clinical massively parallel sequencing assay targeting up to 468 genes, including 25 CRGs, and defined the presence of somatic CRG alterations...

OBJECTIVES: Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (GTN) is a rare group of malignant placental-related tumours requiring systemic anti-cancer treatment. Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) related to GTN is not well reported with no consensus in optimal treatment. We offer recommendations for management of these patients. METHODS: We discuss five patients with GTN who presented with features of LMD and were diagnosed with gadolinium-enhanced MRI brain, all of whom received low dose induction etoposide-cisplatin (EP) followed by either EP-etoposide, methotrexate (CNS) and actinomycin-D (EMA) or EMA(CNS)-cyclophosphamide and vincristine (CO)...

OBJECTIVE: We sought to document current surgical practices among gynecologic oncologists in the United States. METHODS: In March/April 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology to identify gynecologic oncology practice trends in the United States. The survey collected demographic data and queried participants on types of surgical procedures performed and chemotherapy use. Univariant and multivariant analyses were used to evaluate the association between surgeon practice type, region of practice, working with gynecologic oncology fellows, time in practice, and dominant surgical modality of practice on performance of specific procedures...

OBJECTIVE: Although advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer is widely considered life-threatening, 17% of women with advanced disease will survive long-term. Little is known about the health-related quality of life (QOL) of long-term ovarian cancer survivors, or how fear of recurrence might affect QOL. METHODS: 58 long-term survivors with advanced disease participated in the study. Participants completed standardized questionnaires to capture cancer history, QOL, and fear of recurrent disease (FOR)...

INTRODUCTION: Venous thromboembolic events represent the second most frequent cause of mortality in cancer patients. Recent literature shows that direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are at least as effective and safe as low molecular weight heparin for postoperative thromboprophylaxis. However, this practice has not been broadly adopted in gynecologic oncology. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical effectiveness and safety of apixaban for extended thromboprophylaxis in comparison to enoxaparin after laparotomies for gynecologic oncology patients...

OBJECTIVE: Universal screening of endometrial carcinoma (EC) for mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) and Lynch syndrome uses presence of MLH1 methylation to omit common sporadic cases from follow-up germline testing. However, this overlooks rare cases with high-risk constitutional MLH1 methylation (epimutation), a poorly-recognized mechanism that predisposes to Lynch-type cancers with MLH1 methylation. We aimed to determine the role and frequency of constitutional MLH1 methylation among EC cases with MMRd, MLH1-methylated tumors...

RATIONALE: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), defined as BRCA1/2 mutation (BRCAmut) or high genomic instability, is used to identify ovarian cancer (OC) patients most likely to benefit from PARP inhibitors. While these tests are useful, they are imperfect. Another approach is to measure the capacity of tumor cells to form RAD51 foci in the presence of DNA damage using an immunofluorescence assay (IF). We aimed to describe for the first time this assay in OC and correlate it to platinum response and BRCAmut...

Endometrial stromal tumors (EST) are uterine mesenchymal tumors, which histologically resemble endometrial stroma of the functioning endometrium. The majority of EST are malignant tumors classified as low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS), high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HG-ESS), and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma (UUS). Overall, ESTs are rare malignancies, with an annual incidence of approximately 0.30 per 100'000 women, mainly affecting peri- or postmenopausal women. The most common genetic alteration identified in LG-ESS is the JAZF1-SUZ12 rearrangement, while t(10;17)(q23,p13) translocation and BCOR gene abnormalities characterize two major subtypes of HG-ESS...

BACKGROUND: The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK (MAPK) pathway plays a role in ovarian carcinogenesis. Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC) frequently harbors activating MAPK mutations. MAPK inhibitors have been used in small subsets of ovarian carcinoma (OC) patients to control tumor growth. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of MAPK inhibitors in OC patients. We aimed to determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR), the subgroup of MAPK inhibitors with the best CBR and overall response rate (ORR), and the most common adverse events...

The original vision of the field of gynecologic oncology was to establish a multidisciplinary approach to the management of patients with gynecologic cancers. Fifty years later, scientific advances have markedly changed the overall practice of gynecologic oncology, but the profession continues to struggle to define its value-financial and otherwise. These issues were examined in full at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Future of the Profession Summit and the purpose of this document is to summarize the discussion, share the group's perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) for gynecologic oncologists, further educate members and others within the patient care team about the unique role of gynecologic oncologists, and plan future steps in the short- and long- term to preserve the subspecialty's critical mission of providing comprehensive, longitudinal care for people with gynecologic cancers...
