Increased TP53 somatic evolution in peritoneal washes of individuals with BRCA1 germline mutations. Gynecol Oncol 2024; 190:18-27. [PMID: 39128337 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.07.690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variants (BRCA carriers) are at high risk of developing high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). HGSC is predominantly driven by TP53 mutations, but mutations in this gene are also commonly found in non-cancerous tissue as a feature of normal human aging. We hypothesized that HGSC predisposition in BRCA carriers may be related to increased TP53 somatic evolution, which could be detectable by ultra-deep sequencing of TP53 mutations in gynecological liquid biopsies. METHODS Duplex sequencing was used to identify TP53 mutations with high sensitivity in peritoneal washes and cervical liquid-based cytology (LBC) collected at surgery from 60 individuals including BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers, and non-carriers. TP53 mutation pathogenicity was compared across groups and with TP53 cancer mutations. RESULTS TP53 mutations were more abundant in cervical LBC than in peritoneal washes but increased with age in both sample types. In peritoneal washes, but not in cervical LBC, pathogenic TP53 mutation burden was increased in BRCA1 carriers compared to non-carriers, independently of age. Five individuals shared identical pathogenic TP53 mutations in peritoneal washes and cervical LBC, but not in blood. CONCLUSIONS Ultra-deep sequencing of TP53 mutations in peritoneal washes collected at surgery reveals increased burden of pathogenic TP53 mutations in BRCA1 carriers. This excess of pathogenic TP53 mutations might be linked to the elevated risk of HGSC in these individuals. In some patients, concordant TP53 mutations were found in peritoneal washes and cervical LBCs, but the cell of origin remains unknown and deserves further investigation.

The pathologic and clinical outcomes of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in asymptomatic carriers of homologous recombination repair gene mutation. J Gynecol Oncol 2024; 36:36.e15. [PMID: 39028150 DOI: 10.3802/jgo.2025.36.e15] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of pathological findings and clinical outcomes of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) in asymptomatic carriers with germline homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPV). METHODS This retrospective study enrolled asymptomatic carriers with germline HR gene PV/LPV who underwent RRSO between 2006 and 2022 at the National Cancer Center in Korea. Clinical characteristics, including history of breast cancer, family history of ovarian/breast cancer, parity, and oral contraceptive use, were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 255 women who underwent RRSO, 129 (50.6%) had PV/LPV in BRCA1, 121 (47.5%) in BRCA2, and 2 (0.7%) had both BRCA1 and BRCA2 PV/LPV. In addition, 1 carried PV/LPV in RAD51D, and 2 in BRIP1. Among the BRCA1/2 PV/LPV carriers, occult neoplasms were identified in 3.5% of patients: serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (1.1%, n=3), fallopian tubal cancers (0.8%, n=2), ovarian cancer (1.2%, n=3), and breast cancer (0.4%, n=1). Of the 9 patients with occult neoplasms, 5 (2.0%) were identified from the 178 breast cancer patients, and 4 (1.6%) were detected in 65 healthy mutation carriers. During the median follow-up period of 36.7 months (interquartile range, 25.9-71.4), 1 (0.4%) BRCA1 PV carrier with no precursor lesions at RRSO developed primary peritoneal carcinomatosis after 30.1 months. CONCLUSION Women with HRR gene mutations PV/LPV who undergo RRSO are at a risk of detecting occult neoplasms, with a of 3.5%. Even in the absence of precursor lesions during RRSO, there was a cumulative risk of peritoneal carcinomatosis development, emphasizing the need for continued surveillance.

Abstract
Investigating the human fallopian tube (FT) microbiota has significant implications for understanding the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer (OC). In this large prospective study, we collected swabs intraoperatively from the FT and other surgical sites as controls to profile the microbiota in the FT and to assess its relationship with OC. Eighty-one OC and 106 non-cancer patients were enrolled and 1001 swabs were processed for 16S rRNA gene PCR and sequencing. We identified 84 bacterial species that may represent the FT microbiota and found a clear shift in the microbiota of the OC patients when compared to the non-cancer patients. Of the top 20 species that were most prevalent in the FT of OC patients, 60% were bacteria that predominantly reside in the gastrointestinal tract, while 30% normally reside in the mouth. Serous carcinoma had higher prevalence of almost all 84 FT bacterial species compared to the other OC subtypes. The clear shift in the FT microbiota in OC patients establishes the scientific foundation for future investigation into the role of these bacteria in the pathogenesis of OC.

Abstract
Objective: To facilitate in vitro mechanistic studies in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and subsequent tubal factor infertility, as well as ovarian carcinogenesis, we sought to establish patient tissue derived fallopian tube (FT) organoids and to study their inflammatory response to acute vaginal bacterial infection. Design: Experimental study. Setting: Academic medical and researchcenter. Patients: FT tissues were obtained from four patients after salpingectomy for benign gynecological diseases. Interventions: We introduced acute infection in the FT organoid culture system by inoculating the organoid culture media with two common vaginal bacterial species, Lactobacillus crispatus and Fannyhesseavaginae . Main Outcome Measures: The inflammatory response elicited in the organoids after acute bacterial infection was analyzed by the expression profile of 249 inflammatory genes. Results: Compared to the negative controls that were not cultured with any bacteria, the organoids cultured with either bacterial species showed multiple differentially expressed inflammatory genes. Marked differences were noted between the Lactobacillus crispatus infected organoids and those infected by Fannyhessea vaginae . Genes from the C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL) family were highly upregulated in F. vaginae infected organoids. Flow cytometry showed that immune cells quickly disappeared during the organoid culture, indicating the inflammatory response observed with bacterial culture was generated by the epithelial cells in the organoids. Conclusion : Patient tissue derived FT organoids respond to acute bacterial infection with upregulation of inflammatory genes specific to different vaginal bacterial species. FT organoids is a useful model system to study the host-pathogen interaction during bacterial infection which may facilitate mechanistic investigations in PID and its contribution to tubal factor infertility and ovarian carcinogenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the prevalence of and clinical factors associated with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) at risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) in asymptomatic BRCA1/2-pathogenic variant (PV) carriers. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included BRCA1/2-PV carriers who underwent RRSO between 1995 and 2018 from the Hereditary Breast and Ovarian cancer in the Netherlands study. All pathology reports were screened, and histopathology reviews were performed for RRSO specimens with epithelial abnormalities or where HGSC developed after normal RRSO. We then compared clinical characteristics, including parity and oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use, for women with and without HGSC at RRSO. RESULTS Of the 2,557 included women, 1,624 had BRCA1, 930 had BRCA2, and three had both BRCA1/2-PV. The median age at RRSO was 43.0 years (range: 25.3-73.8) for BRCA1-PV and 46.8 years (27.6-77.9) for BRCA2-PV carriers. Histopathologic review confirmed 28 of 29 HGSCs and two further HGSCs from among 20 apparently normal RRSO specimens. Thus, 24 (1.5%) BRCA1-PV and 6 (0.6%) BRCA2-PV carriers had HGSC at RRSO, with the fallopian tube identified as the primary site in 73%. The prevalence of HGSC in women who underwent RRSO at the recommended age was 0.4%. Among BRCA1/2-PV carriers, older age at RRSO increased the risk of HGSC and long-term OCP use was protective. CONCLUSION We detected HGSC in 1.5% (BRCA1-PV) and 0.6% (BRCA2-PV) of RRSO specimens from asymptomatic BRCA1/2-PV carriers. Consistent with the fallopian tube hypothesis, we found most lesions in the fallopian tube. Our results highlight the importance of timely RRSO with total removal and assessment of the fallopian tubes and show the protective effects of long-term OCP.

Abstract
Objective Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is a precursor lesion of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Information on treatment and outcome of isolated STIC is rare. Therefore, we reviewed systematically the published literature to determine the incidence of subsequent HGSC in the high- and low-risk population and to summarize the current diagnostic and therapeutic options. Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted in MEDLINE-Ovid, Cochrane Library and Web of Science of articles published from February 2006 to July 2021. Patients with an isolated STIC diagnosis and clinical follow-up were included. Study exclusion criteria for review were the presence of synchronous gynaecological cancer and/or concurrent non-gynaecological malignancies. Results 3031 abstracts were screened. 112 isolated STIC patients out of 21 publications were included in our analysis with a pooled median follow-up of 36 (interquartile range (IQR): 25.3-84) months. 71.4% of the patients had peritoneal washings (negative: 62.5%, positive: 8%, atypic cells: 0.9%). Surgical staging was performed in 28.6% of all STICs and did not show any malignancies. 14 out of 112 (12.5%) patients received adjuvant chemotherapy with Carboplatin and Paclitaxel. Eight (7.1%) patients developed a recurrence 42.5 (IQR: 33-72) months after isolated STIC diagnosis. Cumulative incidence of HGSC after five (ten) years was 10.5% (21.6%). Recurrence occurred only in BRCA1 carriers (seven out of eight patients, one patient with unknown BRCA status). Conclusion The rate of HGSC after an isolated STIC diagnosis was 7.1% with a cumulative incidence of 10.5% (21.6%) after five (ten) years. HGSC was only observed in BRCA1 carriers. The role of adjuvant therapy and routine surveillance remains unclear, however, intense surveillance up to ten years is necessary.

Abstract
Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is the earliest morphologically recognizable step in the development of invasive high-grade serous carcinoma of the fallopian tube. Lesions occurring prior to STIC within the carcinogenic sequence for the pathogenesis of invasive high-grade serous carcinoma include the p53 signature and secretory cell outgrowth (SCOUT). Variable histologic criteria have been used for diagnosing STIC, but a combination of morphology and immunohistochemistry for p53/Ki-67 improves interobserver agreement. Half of all carcinomas identified in risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy specimens are in the form of STIC; however, STIC also may be incidentally found on occasion in specimens from women at low or average risk of ovarian/tubal/peritoneal carcinoma. TP53 mutation is the earliest known DNA sequence alteration in STIC and almost all invasive high-grade serous carcinomas of the ovary and peritoneum. Data on the clinical behavior of STIC are limited. While the short-term follow-up in the prior literature suggests a low risk of malignant progression, a more recent meta-analysis indicates a 10-year risk of 28%. STIC probably should be best regarded as a lesion with uncertain malignant potential at present, and future molecular analysis will help classify those with higher risk of dissemination. This review article provides an update on the current knowledge of STIC and related issues.

Abstract
Our understanding of the oncogenesis of high-grade serous cancer of the ovary and its precursor lesions, such as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), has significantly increased over the last decades. Adequate and reproducible diagnosis of these precursor lesions is important. Diagnosing STIC can have prognostic consequences and is an absolute requirement for safely offering alternative risk reducing strategies, such as risk reducing salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy. However, diagnosing STIC is a challenging task, possessing only moderate reproducibility. In this review and meta-analysis, we look at how pathologists come to a diagnosis of STIC. We performed a literature search identifying 39 studies on risk reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in women with a known BRCA1/2 PV, collectively reporting on 6833 patients. We found a pooled estimated proportion of STIC of 2.8% (95% CI, 2.0-3.7). We focused on reported grossing protocols, morphological criteria, level of pathologist training, and the use of immunohistochemistry. The most commonly mentioned morphological characteristics of STIC are (1) loss of cell polarity, (2) nuclear pleomorphism, (3) high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio, (4) mitotic activity, (5) pseudostratification, and (6) prominent nucleoli. The difference in reported incidence of STIC between studies who totally embedded all specimens and those who did not was 3.2% (95% CI, 2.3-4.2) versus 1.7% (95% CI, 0.0-6.2) (p 0.24). We provide an overview of diagnostic features and present a framework for arriving at an adequate diagnosis, consisting of the use of the SEE-FIM grossing protocol, evaluation by a subspecialized gynecopathologist, rational use of immunohistochemical staining, and obtaining a second opinion from a colleague.

Outcomes of incidentally detected ovarian cancers diagnosed at time of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in BRCA mutation carriers. Gynecol Oncol 2021; 161:521-526. [PMID: 33712278 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2021.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prior data suggested that women with incidentally detected occult invasive ovarian cancer (OIOC) at the time of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) for BRCA mutation may have poorer prognoses than would be expected based on disease stage. We sought to evaluate prevalence and outcomes of patients with OIOC in a tertiary referral center. METHODS Patients with BRCA mutation undergoing RRSO from 01/2005 to 05/2017 were identified, and their records reviewed. Women with incidentally detected OIOC were included; those with clinical features raising preoperative suspicion for malignancy were excluded. RESULTS 548 patients with BRCA mutation who underwent RRSO were identified. 26 (4.7%) had an OIOC (median age 55 years; range 42-75); 15(58%) patients, BRCA1; 9(34%), BRCA2; 2(8%) had a mutation in both genes. All OIOCs were high-grade serous: 10 (38%) Stage I; 8 (31%) Stage II; 8(31%) Stage III. 24(92%) patients received adjuvant platinum/taxane therapy. Of Stage III patients, 4 (50%) were identified intraoperatively; the remaining 4 (50%) had microscopic nodal disease on final pathology only. At median follow-up of 67.3 months (28-166) no Stage I patients have recurred; 2 Stage II and 6 Stage III patients recurred. 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 72% (95%CI, 50.2-85.7%); median PFS for the cohort was 129 months (95%CI, 75.3-not estimable). 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) was 96% (95%CI, 76-99%); median DSS not reached. CONCLUSION Consistent with prior reports, almost 5% of patients had an OIOC at RRSO. The majority with early-stage disease had excellent PFS and DSS outcomes, as would be expected based on disease stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review of the literature to estimate the prevalence and outcomes of occult tubal carcinoma in BRCA mutation carriers and high-risk patients undergoing risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. DATA SOURCE A search was done using OVID MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov between 1946 and March 2019 with keywords and MeSH terms selected by an expert medical librarian and coauthors. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION Two independent reviewers performed study selection with an initial screen on abstracts and a second on full articles. Articles were rejected if they were irrelevant to the study question, pertained to a different population or did not report occult tubal neoplasia. Quality was assessed using methodologic index for nonrandomized studies criteria. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS Data were extracted and recorded in an Excel database. Forest plots for the prevalence of occult carcinoma were done using STATA. Among 2,402 studies assessed, 27 met the inclusion criteria for qualitative and quantitative analysis. A total of 6,283 patients underwent risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy between 2002 and 2019: 2,894 cases were BRCA1, 1,579 BRCA2, and 1,810 high-risk based on family history. Among these, 75 patients were diagnosed with occult tubal carcinoma at the time of surgery. The pooled prevalence was 1.2% (I=7.1%, P=.363) occurring at a median age of 53.2 years (range 42.4-67). In a subanalysis of 18 studies reporting follow-up data, 10 recurrences (18.7%, 95% CI 7.5-53%) and 24 cases of post-risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy peritoneal cancer (0.54%, 95% CI 0.4-1.9%) were reported after a median follow-up of 52.5 months. BRCA1, older age, and previous breast cancer were more often associated with occult malignancy. CONCLUSION Occult tubal carcinomas found at risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in high-risk patients and BRCA mutation carriers have significant potential for recurrence despite the frequent administration of postoperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate health care provider adherence to the surgical protocol endorsed by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists at the time of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy and compare adherence between gynecologic oncologists and obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns). METHODS In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, women were included if they had a pathogenic BRCA mutation and underwent risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy between 2011 and 2017. Adherence was defined as completing all of the following: collection of washings, complete resection of the fallopian tube, and performing the Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbriated End (SEE-FIM) pathologic protocol. RESULTS Of 290 patients who met inclusion criteria, 160 patients were treated by 18 gynecologic oncologists and 130 patients by 75 ob-gyns. Surgery was performed at 10 different hospitals throughout a single metropolitan area. Demographic and clinical characteristics were similar between groups. Overall, 199 cases (69%) were adherent to the surgical protocol. Gynecologic oncologists were more than twice as likely to fully adhere to the full surgical protocol as ob-gyns (91% vs 41%, P<.01). Specifically, gynecologic oncologists were more likely to resect the entire tube (99% vs 95%, P=.03), to have followed the SEE-FIM protocol (98% vs 82%, P<.01), and collect washings (94% vs 49%, P<.01). Complication rates did not differ between groups. Occult neoplasia was diagnosed in 11 patients (3.8%). The incidence of occult neoplasia was 6.3% in gynecologic oncology patients and 0.8% in obstetrics and gynecology patients (P=.03). CONCLUSION Despite clear surgical guidelines, only two thirds of all health care providers were fully adherent to guidelines. Gynecologic oncologists were more likely to follow surgical guidelines compared with general ob-gyns and more likely to diagnose occult neoplasia despite similar patient populations. Rates of risk-reducing surgery will likely continue to increase as genetic testing becomes more widespread, highlighting the importance of health care provider education for this procedure. Centralized care or referral to subspecialists for risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy may be warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is recommended for women at increased risk of ovarian, fallopian tube (FT), and peritoneal carcinoma (collectively OC). We describe rates of occult neoplasia in the largest single-institution prospective cohort of women undergoing RRSO, including those with mutations in non-BRCA homologous repair (HRR) genes. METHODS Participants undergoing RRSO enrolled in a prospective tissue bank between 1999 and 2017. Ovaries and FTs were serially sectioned in all cases. Participants had OC susceptibility gene mutations or a family history suggesting OC risk. Analyses were completed in Stata IC 15.1. RESULTS Of 644 women, 194 (30.1%) had mutations in BRCA1, 177 (27.5%) BRCA2, 27 (4.2%) other HRR genes, and 15 (2.3%) Lynch Syndrome-associated genes. Seventeen (2.6%) had occult neoplasms at RRSO, 15/17 (88.2%) in the FT. Of BRCA1 carriers, 14/194 (7.2%) had occult neoplasia, 8/194 (4.1%) invasive. One PALB2 and two BRCA2 carriers had intraepithelial FT neoplasms. Occult neoplasm occurred more frequently in BRCA1/2 carriers ≥45 years of age (6.5% vs 2.2%, chi square, p = .04), and 211/371 (56.9%) BRCA1/2 carriers had surgery after guideline-recommended ages. Four in 8 (50%) invasive and 2/9 (22%) intraepithelial neoplasms had positive pelvic washings. None with intraepithelial neoplasms developed recurrence or peritoneal carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS BRCA1 carriers have the highest risk of occult neoplasia at RRSO, and the frequency increased with age. Women with BRCA1/2 mutations often have RRSO beyond recommended ages. One PALB2 carrier had FT intraepithelial neoplasia, a novel finding. Serial sectioning is critical to identifying occult neoplasia and should be performed for all risk-reducing surgeries.

Abstract
Salpingectomy with interval oophorectomy has gained traction as an ovarian cancer prevention strategy, but is not currently recommended for high risk women. Nevertheless, some choose this approach. We aimed to understand risk perception and plans for oophorectomy in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA) mutation carriers choosing salpingectomy for ovarian cancer prevention. This was a longitudinal survey study of BRCA mutation carriers who underwent bilateral salpingectomy to reduce ovarian cancer risk. An initial written questionnaire and telephone interview was followed by annual phone interviews. 22 women with BRCA mutations were enrolled. Median follow-up was three years. The median age at salpingectomy was 39.5 years (range 27-49). Perceived lifetime ovarian cancer risk decreased by half after salpingectomy (median risk reduction 25%, range 0-40%). At final follow-up, five (22.7%) had undergone oophorectomy and five women (22.7%) were not planning to undergo completion oophorectomy. BRCA mutation carriers who had salpingectomy after the recommended age of prophylactic surgery (vs. before the recommended age) were less likely to plan for future oophorectomy (28.6% vs. 66.7%, p = 0.037). All women were satisfied with their decision to undergo salpingectomy with eighteen (81.8%) expressing decreased cancer-related worry. There were no diagnoses of ovarian cancer during our study period. In conclusion, most BRCA mutation carriers undergoing risk-reducing salpingectomy are satisfied with their decision and have lower risk perception after salpingectomy, though some older mutation carriers did not plan on future oophorectomy. Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy in BRCA mutation carriers remains investigational and should preferably be performed within a clinical trial to prevent introduction of an innovation before safety has been proven.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecologic cancer death in the world, and its prevention and early diagnosis remain the key to its treatment, especially for high‐grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Accumulating epidemiological and molecular evidence has shown that HGSC originates from fallopian tube secretory cells through serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma. Comprehensive molecular analyses and mouse studies have uncovered the key driver events for serous carcinogenesis, providing novel molecular targets. Risk‐reducing bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) has been proposed to reduce the subsequent occurrence of serous carcinoma in high‐risk patients with BRCA mutations. However, there is no management strategy for isolated precursors detected at RRSO, and the role of subsequent surgery or chemotherapy in preventing serous carcinoma remains unclear. Surgical menopause due to RRSO provides a variety of problems related to patients’ quality of life, and the risks and benefits of hormone replacement are under investigation, especially for women without a previous history of breast cancer. An additional surgical option, salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy, has been proposed to prevent surgical menopause. The number of opportunistic salpingectomies at the time of surgery for benign disease to prevent the future occurrence of HGSC has increased worldwide. Thus, the changing concept of the origin of serous carcinoma has provided us a great opportunity to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the benefit of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) by estimating the pathological positive rate of occult lesions, including serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) and occult cancers (OCCs). METHODS BRCA1/2 mutation carriers who underwent RRSO in a Chinese study center between 2014 and 2018 were included. A literature review was performed, followed by a meta-analysis of the literature to further validate the findings. RESULTS Twenty-four BRCA1/2 mutation carriers who underwent RRSO were identified; one patient (4.2%) had STIC, and one patient (4.2%) had occult fallopian tube cancer complicated by STIC. Thirty-four articles were ultimately included in the meta-analysis. Of the reported cases of OCC, 61.3% occurred in the fallopian tubes and 32.3% in the ovaries, and 81.5% were in the early stages. The estimated rate of overall pathological positive events was 5%. The estimated rates of overall STIC events and OCC were 1% and 3%, respectively. The rates of STIC and OCC were 1% and 3%, respectively, for BRCA1 mutation carriers and 1% and 1%, respectively, for BRCA2 mutation carriers. No significant difference was observed between the results of a routine examination of pathological sections and those of the Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbriae (SEE-FIM) protocol. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first report of RRSO results in China. In this systematic review, the positive rates of STIC or OCC after RRSO were no more than 3%, which are 200-fold higher than the risk of the general population. The use of a strict SEE-FIM protocol would likely increase positive results.

Abstract
Background Little is known about the status of genetic counseling for ovarian cancer in China. Case presentation We report a four-generation Chinese family with several types of cancer. The proband was a patient with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) who was found to harbor a pathogenic BRCA1 variant. Cosegregation analysis identified 7 of 9 relatives with the same deleterious variant. One month after the genetic test, one female carrier 54 years of age was diagnosed with stage IVB HGSOC, and another female 55 years of age accepted risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed occult cancer of the fallopian tube (Stage IA). Conclusions Genetic counseling and testing for ovarian cancer in China have fallen behind international trends. Innovative studies and practices are urgently needed to establish models for cancer screening, prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Intraepithelial fallopian tube neoplasia is thought to be a precursor lesion to high-grade serous carcinoma of the Müllerian adnexae, particularly in women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. This association has led to recommendations to assess fallopian tubes for intraepithelial atypia. However, the diagnostic reproducibility of a diagnosis of intraepithelial neoplasia is unclear. In this study, 2 gynecologic pathologists independently evaluated sections of fallopian tubes from a sample of women (N=198, 623 slides) undergoing salpingectomy. A total of 101 (54%) women were undergoing risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. Pathologists were blinded to patient histories and prior diagnoses. Pathologists rendered one of three diagnoses for each slide: "negative for fallopian tube intraepithelial neoplasia (FTIN)," "indeterminate for FTIN," or "definite for FTIN." Cases that were considered by histology definite for FTIN or suspicious for FTIN were stained with p53 and Ki67. Pathologists agreed on the diagnosis of "definite for FTIN" 61.5% of the time. There was no agreement on any cases for the diagnosis of "indeterminate for FTIN." Fifteen "indeterminate for FTIN" and 12 "definite for FTIN" cases were stained with p53 and Ki67. Two of the "indeterminate" cases (13%) had p53-positive foci. Five of the "definite" cases had p53-positive foci. In 3 of the other 8 "definite" cases, there was obvious carcinoma present, but the carcinoma did not stain with p53, suggesting a possible null phenotype. We propose that immunostains should only be used to aid in the diagnosis of FTIN in cases with indeterminate histology. The use of p53 immunohistochemistry in cases that were considered "definite for FTIN" by histology was minimally helpful, and in fact often served to further confuse the diagnosis.

Abstract
Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma is considered the precursor lesion of high-grade serous carcinoma, and found in both low-risk and high-risk populations. Isolated serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas in patients with BRCA1/2 mutations are detected in ∼2% of patients undergoing risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and even with removal of the tubes and ovaries the rate of developing primary peritoneal carcinoma following remains up to 7.5%. Postoperative recommendations after finding incidental STICs remain unclear and surgical staging, adjuvant chemotherapy, or observation have been proposed. Discovery of STIC should prompt consideration of hereditary cancer program referral for BRCA1/2 mutation screening.

Abstract
The concurrence of intraepithelial high-grade neoplasia in the fallopian tube with metastatic implants has been taken as evidence of a tubal origin for high-grade serous pelvic carcinomas. In the current issue, Eckert and colleagues perform detailed genomic phylogenetic analyses and demonstrate that some cases of high-grade serous intraepithelial tubal neoplasia are metastatic implants and not precursor lesions.

Abstract
The history of screening and prevention of ovarian cancer among high-risk women in the United States and Europe is one of mutual inspiration, with researchers learning from each others' findings and insights and collaborating with investigators from both sides of the Atlantic ocean. Examples of simultaneous and joint development of knowledge and scientific points of view include the paradigm shift from ovarian to fallopian tube high-grade serous cancer and the cessation of simultaneous adoption of ovarian cancer screening by clinicians in both the United States and Europe. Examples of joint efforts with fruitful results include international collaboration in large population-based, genome-wide association studies and in epidemiologic database studies. Research in the field of hereditary ovarian cancer is a great example of mutual inspiration and joint efforts for the purpose of improving knowledge and health care for women with hereditary ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Objectives The quality of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) performed in Australasian women was previously reported to be suboptimal. Here we describe the quality of RRSO performed since 2008 in women enrolled in the same cohort and determine whether it has improved. Design Prospective cohort study of women at high risk of pelvic serous cancer (PSC) in kConFab. Eligible women had RRSO between 2008 and 2014 and their RRSO surgical and pathology reports were reviewed. “Adequate” surgery and pathology were defined as complete removal and paraffin embedding of all ovarian and extra-uterine fallopian tube tissue, respectively. Associations between clinical factors and “adequate” pathology were assessed using logistic regression. Data were compared with published cohort data on RRSO performed prior to 2008 using Chi square test. Results Of 164 contemporary RRSOs performed in 78 centres, 158/159 (99%) had “adequate” surgery and 108/164 (66%) had “adequate” pathology. Surgery performed by a gynaecologic oncologist rather than a general gynaecologist [OR 8.2, 95%CI (3.6–20.4), p < 0.001], surgery without concurrent hysterectomy [OR 2.5, 95%CI (1.1–6.0), p = 0.03], more recent year of surgery [OR 1.4, 95%CI (1.1–1.8), p = 0.02], and clinical notation that indicated high risk [OR 19.4, 95%CI (3.1–385), p = 0.008] were independently associated with “adequate” pathology. Both surgery and pathology were significantly more likely to be “adequate” (p < 0.001) in this contemporary sample. Conclusion The quality of RRSOs has significantly improved since our last report. Surgery by a gynaecologic oncologist who informs the pathologist that the woman is at high risk for PSC is associated with optimal RRSO pathology.

Abstract
ObjectiveRisk reducing salpingooophorectomy is recommended to women with a BReast CAncer susceptibility gene (BRCA) 1 or 2 germline mutation to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. The incidence of unsuspected neoplasia varies in the literature. The purpose of this study was to identify the rate of unsuspected neoplasia in a high-risk Australian population, discuss their management, and assess the clinical outcome.MethodThis is a retrospective review of all women undergoing risk reductive salpingooophorectomy between January 2006 and December 2014. The medical, operative, and pathology results were reviewed. The specimens were assessed using the Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbriated End protocol to the fallopian tube, and the ovary was also examined using 2 to 3 mm sectioning.ResultsDuring the study period, 138 patients underwent risk-reducing salpingooophorectomy for a known BRCA 1 or 2 germline mutation or a high-risk personal or family history of ovarian cancer. Five patients with neoplasia were identified, 2 with invasive tubal carcinoma and 3 with serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), giving an overall incidence of 3.62%. Invasive tubal carcinoma occurred in 1 woman with a BRCA 1 mutation and 1 woman with a BRCA 2 mutation. The incidence of carcinoma in women with either a BRCA 1 or 2 germline mutation was subsequently 2.78%. STIC occurred in 2 women with a BRCA 1 germline mutation and 1 woman carrying a BRCA 2 germline mutation. The incidence of STIC in women with either a BRCA 1 or 2 germline mutation was subsequently 4.17%. Of the patients with STIC, all 3 remain disease free at an average follow-up period of 79.33 months.ConclusionsIn this retrospective review, we found the incidence of neoplasia within a high-risk Australian population undergoing risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy to be 3.62%. The incidence of STIC was 2.17%. During our follow-up period, all patients with STIC remained disease free.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the frequency and features of occult carcinomas and the incidence of subsequent cancers following risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) in BRCA mutation carriers. METHODS 257 consecutive women with germline BRCA mutations who underwent RRSO between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2014 were identified in an Institutional Review Board approved study. All patients were asymptomatic with normal physical exams, CA 125 values, and imaging studies preoperatively, and had at least 12months of follow-up post-RRSO. All patients had comprehensive adnexal sectioning performed. Patient demographics and clinico-pathologic characteristics were extracted from medical and pathology records. RESULTS The cohort included 148 BRCA1, 98 BRCA2, 6 BRCA not otherwise specified (NOS), and 5 BRCA1 and 2 mutation carriers. Occult carcinoma was seen in 14/257 (5.4%) of patients: 9 serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas (STIC), 3 tubal cancers, 1 ovarian cancer, and 1 endometrial cancer. Three patients (1.2%) with negative pathology at RRSO subsequently developed primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC), and 2 of 9 patients (22%) with STIC subsequently developed pelvic serous carcinoma. 110 women (43%) were diagnosed with breast cancer prior to RRSO, and 14 of the remaining 147 (9.5%) developed breast cancer following RRSO. Median follow-up of the cohort was 63months. CONCLUSION In this cohort, 5.4% of asymptomatic BRCA mutation carriers had occult carcinomas at RRSO, 86% of which were tubal in origin. The risk of subsequent PPSC for women with benign adnexa at RRSO is low; however, the risk of pelvic serous carcinoma among women with STIC is significantly higher.

Abstract
Recently accumulated evidence has strongly indicated that the fallopian tube is the site of origin for the majority of high-grade serous ovarian or peritoneal carcinomas. As a result, recommendations have been made to change surgical practice in women at general population risk for ovarian cancer and perform bilateral salpingectomy at the time of hysterectomy without oophorectomy and in lieu of tubal ligation, a practice that has been termed opportunistic salpingectomy (OS). Despite suggestions that bilateral salpingectomy may be used as an interim procedure in women with BRCA1/2 mutations, enabling them to delay oophorectomy, there is insufficient evidence to support this practice as a safe alternative and risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy remains the recommended standard of care for high-risk women. While evidence on uptake of OS is sparse, it points toward increasing practice of OS during hysterectomy. The practice of OS for sterilization purposes, although expanding, appears to be less common. Operative and perioperative complications as measured by administered blood transfusions, hospital length of stay and readmissions were not increased with the addition of OS either at time of hysterectomy or for sterilization. Additional operating room time was 16 and 10 min for OS with hysterectomy and OS for sterilization, respectively. Short-term studies of the consequences of OS on ovarian function indicate no difference between women undergoing hysterectomy alone and hysterectomy with OS, but no long-term data exist. There is emerging evidence of effectiveness of excisional sterilization on reducing ovarian cancer rates from Rochester (OR = 0.36 95 % CI 0.13, 1.02), and bilateral salpingectomy from Denmark (OR = 0.58 95 % CI 0.36, 0.95) and Sweden (HR = 0.35, 95 % CI 0.17, 0.73), but these studies suffer from limitations, including that they were performed for pathological rather than prophylactic purposes. Initial cost-effectiveness modeling indicates that OS is cost-effective over a wide range of costs and risk estimates. While preliminary safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness data are promising, further research is needed (particularly long-term data on ovarian function) to firmly establish the safety of the procedure. The marginal benefit of OS compared with tubal ligation or hysterectomy alone needs to be established through large prospective studies of OS done for prophylaxis.

Abstract
To determine if selected cases of uterine serous carcinoma (USC) arise from tubal rather than endometrial epithelium. Bilateral fallopian tubes from 38 women with pure USC were entirely submitted for histopathologic examination using the protocol Sectioning and Extensively Examining the FIMbria (SEE-FIM). Non-neoplastic endometrium was extensively sampled. Immunohistochemistry for p53 was performed on all paraffin blocks of fallopian tube and non-neoplastic endometrium. Endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma (EIC) was present in 22 cases (58%). Endometrial p53 foci were identified in 3 patients. There were 11 cases (29%) with fallopian tube involvement; 9 of 11 had tubal wall invasion or lymphatic involvement without serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) and were, therefore, classified as metastatic from the endometrium. STIC was identified in 3 patients (8%). There were 3 cases with tubal p53 foci in non-neoplastic epithelium. EIC was present in 58% of patients, further supporting EIC as a precursor lesion to USC. STIC was present in 8%, suggesting that the fallopian tube may in fact represent the primary lesion in a minority of patients with USC. This finding may account for the early multifocal disease distribution observed in these patients.

Abstract
A precursor for invasive ovarian/pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma, termed serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), has been identified and characterized through careful analysis of the fallopian tubes in both prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy specimens obtained from women with either a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer or germline mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 and in cases of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma. Data on incidental STICs and clinically occult microscopic invasive high-grade serous carcinomas are limited. We analyzed the clinicopathologic features of 22 cases, including 15 pure STICs and 7 STICs associated with microscopic invasive high-grade serous carcinomas, identified incidentally in fallopian tubes removed for nonprophylactic indications. Patient age ranged from 39 to 79 years (mean: 62.7; median: 61), with only 1 patient under the age of 50. No patients were known to carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. Of the 12 pure STICs for which the location in the fallopian tube could be established, 9 were in the fimbriated portion, 1 was at the junction of the fimbria and infundibulum, and 2 were in the nonfimbriated tube. Of the 7 STICs with associated invasive high-grade serous carcinoma, 3 were located in the fimbriated portion, 2 were at the junction of the fimbria and infundibulum, and 2 were in the nonfimbriated tube. The invasive components were in the fallopian tube in 6 cases, 4 in subepithelial stroma of tubal mucosa, and 2 as an intramucosal (exophytic) luminal lesion without invasion of underlying subepithelial stroma (size range: 1 to 4 mm). The remaining case had a microscopic focus of high-grade serous carcinoma within the ipsilateral ovary (1.3 mm cortical focus) identified only on deeper sections, without an associated invasive component in the fallopian tube. The preferential finding of atypical epithelium with the cytologic features of high-grade serous carcinoma, namely STIC, in the fallopian tubes rather than the ovaries as an incidental (clinically occult) microscopic lesion in the absence of widespread pelvic carcinoma provides further evidence that STIC is the earliest form of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma and that the fallopian tube is the site of origin. This study demonstrates the potential for complete examination of the fallopian tubes and ovaries to identify STICs and early invasive serous carcinomas that might be more amenable to the earliest intervention and potential cure.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to categorize and report endometrial cancers in mutation carriers from hereditary breast ovarian cancer families.MethodsOur Hereditary Cancer Registry was searched for gynecologic and peritoneal cancers linked to mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Invasive cancers were registered in 101 mutation carriers with complete pathology reports. Efforts were made to secure diagnostic surgical pathology tissues for review. All records and available diagnostic slides were meticulously studied, and primary cancers were classified.FindingsEight malignancies were classified as primary endometrial cancers. Five of these were low- or intermediate-grade endometrioid carcinomas, and 3 were pure serous carcinomas or contained serous carcinoma elements mixed with high-grade endometrioid carcinoma. Breast cancers were diagnosed in 5 patients before and in 1 patient after endometrial carcinoma. Three endometrioid carcinomas were preceded by estrogen treatment, 2 for many years and the other for only 2 months, and 2 of the patients with serous carcinoma had been treated with tamoxifen.ConclusionsThe finding that 8 of gynecologic and peritoneal cancers in 101 mutation carriers were endometrial cancers with a smaller proportion of endometrioid carcinomas than reported in general populations is added to the current controversial literature on endometrial cancer, particularly regarding serous carcinomas, in hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome. Well-designed prospective programs for standardized surgical and pathologic handling, processing, and reporting are essential for working out the pathogenesis, true risks, and best management of this disease in carriers of deleterious BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations.

Abstract
Mortality from ovarian cancer may be dramatically reduced with the implementation of attainable prevention strategies. The new understanding of the cells of origin and the molecular etiology of ovarian cancer warrants a strong recommendation to the public and health care providers. This document discusses potential prevention strategies, which include 1) oral contraceptive use, 2) tubal sterilization, 3) risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in women at high hereditary risk of breast and ovarian cancer, 4) genetic counseling and testing for women with ovarian cancer and other high-risk families, and 5) salpingectomy after childbearing is complete (at the time of elective pelvic surgeries, at the time of hysterectomy, and as an alternative to tubal ligation). The Society of Gynecologic Oncology has determined that recent scientific breakthroughs warrant a new summary of the progress toward the prevention of ovarian cancer. This review is intended to emphasize the importance of the fallopian tubes as a potential source of high-grade serous cancer in women with and without known genetic mutations in addition to the use of oral contraceptive pills to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) lowers mortality from ovarian/tubal and breast cancers among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Uncertainties persist regarding potential benefits of RRSO among high-risk noncarriers, optimal surgical age, and anatomic origin of clinically occult cancers detected at surgery. To address these topics, we analyzed surgical treatment arm results from Gynecologic Oncology Group Protocol-0199 (GOG-0199), the National Ovarian Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Study. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS This analysis included asymptomatic high-risk women age ≥ 30 years who elected RRSO at enrollment. Women provided risk factor data and underwent preoperative cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) serum testing and transvaginal ultrasound (TVU). RRSO specimens were processed according to a standardized tissue processing protocol and underwent central pathology panel review. Research-based BRCA1/2 mutation testing was performed when a participant's mutation status was unknown at enrollment. Relationships between participant characteristics and diagnostic findings were assessed using univariable statistics and multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Invasive or intraepithelial ovarian/tubal/peritoneal neoplasms were detected in 25 (2.6%) of 966 RRSOs (BRCA1 mutation carriers, 4.6%; BRCA2 carriers, 3.5%; and noncarriers, 0.5%; P < .001). In multivariable models, positive BRCA1/2 mutation status (P = .0056), postmenopausal status (P = .0023), and abnormal CA-125 levels and/or TVU examinations (P < .001) were associated with detection of clinically occult neoplasms at RRSO. For 387 women with negative BRCA1/2 mutation testing and normal CA-125 levels, findings at RRSO were benign. CONCLUSION Clinically occult cancer was detected among 2.6% of high-risk women undergoing RRSO. BRCA1/2 mutation, postmenopausal status, and abnormal preoperative CA-125 and/or TVU were associated with cancer detection at RRSO. These data can inform management decisions among women at high risk of ovarian/tubal cancer.

Abstract
Cancer genomics has increased our recognition of specific hereditary cancer mutations. Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome and Lynch syndrome are two such entities in which women carrying specific mutations may be at high risk for developing breast, ovarian, and/or endometrial cancers. Risk reducing surgery such as prophylactic mastectomy, oophorectomy, and/or hysterectomy may allow women to decrease these risks after completing childbearing. Background, indications, and consequences of these procedures are reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is recommended for women with BRCA mutation due to increased risk of pelvic serous carcinoma. Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is a pathologic finding of unknown clinical significance. This study evaluates the clinical outcome of patients with isolated STIC. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients with a germline BRCA1/2 mutation or a high-risk personal or family history of ovarian cancer who underwent RRSO between January 2006 and June 2011. All patients had peritoneal washings collected. All surgical specimens were assessed using the sectioning and extensively examining the fimbria protocol, with immunohistochemistry when indicated. p53 signature lesions and secretory cell outgrowths were excluded. RESULTS Of 593 patients who underwent RRSO, isolated STIC was diagnosed in 12 patients (2%). Five patients (42%) were BRCA1 positive, 5 patients (42%) were BRCA2 positive, and 2 patients (17%) had high-risk family history. Preoperatively, all patients with STIC had normal CA-125 levels and/or pelvic imaging results. Seven patients underwent hysterectomy and omentectomy, 6 patients (46%) had pelvic node dissections, and 5 patients (39%) had para-aortic node dissections. With the exception of positive peritoneal washings in 1 patient, no invasive or metastatic disease was identified. No patient received adjuvant chemotherapy. At median follow-up of 28 months (range, 16-44 months), no recurrences have been identified. CONCLUSIONS Among the cases of isolated STIC after RRSO reported in the literature, the yield of surgical staging is low, and short-term clinical outcomes are favorable. Peritoneal washings are the most common site of disease spread. Individualized management is warranted until additional data become available.

Abstract
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy for reducing future cancer risk in women with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is rarely performed in Japan; therefore, the cancer preventive effect of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome among the Japanese population remains unclear. Here, we report the first case of serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma identified through a risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in a Japanese woman with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and who had a deleterious germline mutation of E1214X in BRCA1, but not a BRCA2 mutation. A pre-operative examination revealed multiple uterine leiomyomas but no adnexal mass. Robotic-assisted bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy together with hysterectomy was performed. A pathological examination identified serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma in the right fallopian tube with no dissemination. Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma is implicated as an origin of invasive cancer of the fallopian tube with peritoneal dissemination; prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy is currently the only method to identify this occult cancer. Our case demonstrated that risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy can detect occult cancers, including serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma, thereby preventing future cancer development in the Japanese hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome population.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether fallopian tube epithelial cells adequate for cytopathology can be obtained via a minimally invasive approach using brush cytology. DESIGN Prospective feasibility study (Canadian Task Force classification II-1). SETTING Tertiary-care university-based teaching hospital. PATIENTS Ten patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy, with or without adnexal surgery, because of benign indications. INTERVENTIONS Attempted hysteroscopic and laparoscopic brush cytologic sampling of the fallopian tubes. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS ThinPrep slides and cell blocks were prepared and analyzed. P53 and KI-67 immunostaining was performed on cell block specimens if adequate cellularity was present. The first 5 patients underwent attempted hysteroscopic sampling of the fallopian tube, with successful collection only in 1 patient. The protocol was then modified to enable sampling of the fallopian tube laparoscopically as well as hysteroscopically. In the other 5 patients sampling of the fallopian tubes was successful laparoscopically, including successful sampling hysteroscopically in 1 patient. The brush biopsy catheter could not be passed through the entire length of the fallopian tube in either the hysteroscopic or laparoscopic approach. All cytologic findings were interpreted as benign, although findings of nuclear overlapping, crowding, and small nucleoli were initially considered benign atypia. Immunohistochemistry for P53 and KI-67 yielded uniformly negative findings. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first study to describe endoscopic brush cytology of the fallopian tubes with correlated cytologic narrative. In the future, cytologic sampling of the fallopian tube may have implications for an ovarian cancer screening test.

Abstract
Ovarian Cancer represents the most fatal type of gynecological malignancies. A number of processes are involved in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer, especially within the tumor microenvironment. Angiogenesis represents a hallmark phenomenon in cancer, and it is responsible for tumor spread and metastasis in ovarian cancer, among other tumor types, as it leads to new blood vessel formation. In recent years angiogenesis has been given considerable attention in order to identify targets for developing effective anti-tumor therapies. Growth factors have been identified to play key roles in driving angiogenesis and, thus, the formation of new blood vessels that assist in "feeding" cancer. Such molecules include the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), the fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and the angiopoietin/Tie2 receptor complex. These proteins are key players in complex molecular pathways within the tumor cell and they have been in the spotlight of the development of anti-angiogenic molecules that may act as stand-alone therapeutics, or in concert with standard treatment regimes such as chemotherapy. The pathways involved in angiogenesis and molecules that have been developed in order to combat angiogenesis are described in this paper.

Abstract
Serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma has been proposed to be a potential precursor lesion of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma. If true, an increased incidence of uterine papillary serous carcinomas would be expected in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers, who are at high-risk of developing pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma. This study explored particularly the occurrence of uterine papillary serous carcinoma, as well as other endometrial cancers, following risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutation attending a tertiary multidisciplinary clinic. A consecutive series of women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation who had undergone risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy without hysterectomy at the University Medical Center Groningen from January 1996 until March 2012 were followed prospectively. They were crossed with the histopathology list of endometrial cancer diagnoses reported by the Dutch nationwide pathology database PALGA. To assess the risk of endometrial cancer, a standardized incidence ratio was calculated comparing the observed with the expected number of endometrial cancer cases. Overall, 201 BRCA1 and 144 BRCA2 mutation carriers at a median age of 50 years (range, 32-78) were analyzed. After a median follow-up period of 6 years, after risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, two cases of endometrial cancer were diagnosed, whereas the expected number was 0.94 cases (standardized incidence ratio 2.13; 95% confidence interval 0.24-7.69; P=0.27). Both endometrial cancer cases were of the endometrioid histological subtype. We showed that the incidence of endometrial cancer following risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, especially uterine papillary serous carcinoma, in women at high-risk of developing pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma is not increased. On the basis of our data, the hypothesis of serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma being an important precursor lesion of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma seems unlikely. There is no need to add a prophylactic hysterectomy to risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers.

Long term follow up of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers with unsuspected neoplasia identified at risk reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. Gynecol Oncol 2013; 129:364-71.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The reported incidence of neoplasia identified at the time of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) in germline BRCA1/2 mutation carriers ranges from 4 to 12% but long-term outcomes have not been described. We evaluated recurrence and survival outcomes of mutation carriers with neoplastic lesions identified at RRSO. METHODS We identified BRCA1/2 mutation carriers with neoplasia at RRSO at three institutions. Data was collected on clinical variables, adjuvant treatment and follow-up. RESULTS We identified 32 mutation carriers with invasive carcinomas (n=15) or high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (n=17) that were not suspected prior to surgery. 26 occurred in BRCA1 and 6 in BRCA2 mutation carriers. Median and mean age for carcinomas were 50 years and 49.3 respectively, significantly younger than for intraepithelial neoplasm, median 53 years, and mean 55 years (p=0.04). For the 15 invasive carcinomas, median follow up was 88 months (range 45-172 months), 7 recurred (47%), median time to recurrence was 32.5 months and 3 have died of disease; 1 additional patient died of breast cancer. Overall survival was 73%, disease specific overall survival was 80% and disease free survival was 66%. For the 17 high-grade intraepithelial neoplasms, median follow up was 80 months (range 40-150), 4 were treated with chemotherapy. One recurred at 43 months and is currently not on therapy with a normal CA125, 16 months later. All patients with noninvasive neoplasia are alive. CONCLUSIONS BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers with unsuspected invasive carcinoma at RRSO have a relatively high rate of recurrence despite predominantly early stage, small volume disease. High-grade intraepithelial neoplasms rarely recur as carcinoma and may not require adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Women who inherit a mutation in either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have greatly elevated lifetime risks of ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer and breast cancer. Preventive surgical removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes (salpingo-oophorectomy) is recommended to these women, often prior to natural menopause, to prevent cancer. The ensuing hormone deprivation may impact on health and quality of life. Most of these women experience menopausal symptoms shortly after surgery; however, there may also be longer term consequences that are less well understood. In this review, we highlight recent studies that examine the implications of salpingo-oophorectomy on health and quality of life in BRCA-positive women and we discuss the care of women following prophylactic surgery.

Abstract
Although controversial, recent studies suggest that serous ovarian carcinomas may arise from fallopian tube fimbria rather than ovarian surface epithelium. We developed an in vitro model for serous carcinogenesis in which primary human fallopian tube epithelial cells (FTECs) were exposed to potentially oncogenic molecular alterations delivered by retroviral vectors. To more closely mirror in vivo conditions, transformation of FTECs was driven by the positive selection of growth-promoting alterations rather antibiotic selection. Injection of the transformed FTEC lines in SCID mice resulted in xenografts with histologic and immunohistochemical features indistinguishable from poorly differentiated serous carcinomas. Transcriptional profiling revealed high similarity among the transformed and control FTEC lines and patient-derived serous ovarian carcinoma cells and was used to define a malignancy-related transcriptional signature. Oncogene-treated FTEC lines were serially analyzed using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot analysis to identify oncogenes whose expression was subject to positive selection. The combination of p53 and Rb inactivation (mediated by SV40 T antigen), hTERT expression, and oncogenic C-MYC and HRAS accumulation showed positive selection during transformation. Knockdown of each of these selected components resulted in significant growth inhibition of the transformed cell lines that correlated with p27 accumulation. The combination of SV40 T antigen and hTERT expression resulted in immortalized cells that were nontumorigenic in mice, whereas forced expression of a dominant-negative p53 isoform (p53DD) and hTERT resulted in senescence. Thus, our investigation supports the tubal origin of serous carcinoma and provides a dynamic model for studying early molecular alterations in serous carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Recent morphologic and molecular genetic studies have led to a paradigm shift in our conceptualization of the carcinogenesis and histogenesis of pelvic (non-uterine) serous carcinomas. It appears that both low-grade and high-grade pelvic serous carcinomas that have traditionally been classified as ovarian in origin, actually originate, at least in a significant subset, from the distal fallopian tube. Clonal expansions of the tubal secretory cell probably give rise to serous carcinomas, and the degree of ciliated conversion is a function of the degree to which the genetic hits deregulate normal differentiation. In this article, the authors review the evidentiary basis for aforementioned paradigm shift, as well as its potential clinical implications.
