Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiomics nomogram analysis is widely preoperatively used to assess gene mutations in various tumors. PURPOSE To explore the value of computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram analysis for assessing BRCA gene mutation status of patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). MATERIAL AND METHODS In total, 96 patients with HGSOC were retrospectively screened and randomly divided into primary (n = 68) and validation cohorts (n = 28). The clinical model was constructed based on clinical features and CT morphological features using univariate and multivariate logistic analyses. Maximum-relevance and minimum-redundancy (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were performed for feature dimensionality reduction and radiomics score was calculated. The nomogram model combining the clinical model and the radiomics score was constructed using multivariate logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to assess models' performance. The calibration analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA) were also performed. RESULTS The clinical model consisted of CA125 level and supradiaphragmatic lymphadenopathy and yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.69 (primary cohort) and 0.81 (validation cohort). The radiomics model was built with seven selected features and showed an AUC of 0.87 (primary cohort) and 0.81 (validation cohort). The nomogram finally showed the highest AUC of 0.89 (primary cohort) and 0.87 (validation cohort). The nomogram presented favorable calibrations in both the primary and validation cohorts. DCA further confirmed the clinical benefits of the constructed nomogram. CONCLUSION CT-based radiomics nomogram provides a non-invasive method to discriminate BRCA gene mutation status of HGSOC and potentially helps develop precise medical strategies.

Abstract
We report a case of rare and aggressive ovarian carcinosarcoma with a germline pathogenic BRCA2 variant. A patient with a history of breast cancer who developed an inflammatory ovarian tumor with peritonitis carcinomatosis involving the appendix suffered from cachexia. Following three cycles of weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy, emergency surgery was required owing to sepsis. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, total hysterectomy, appendectomy, and small intestine adhesiolysis were performed. Histologically, the tumor comprised an admixture of carcinomatous and sarcomatous components, with involvement of the appendix, which had caused perforation and abscess formation. The final diagnosis was ovarian carcinosarcoma with a germline pathogenic BRCA2 variant, c.658_659del (p.Val220fs). The patient responded completely to adjuvant chemotherapy. A combination of chemotherapy and surgery might be beneficial to patients with ovarian carcinosarcoma and germline pathogenic BRCA2 variants with a poor general condition. This is the first report of ovarian carcinosarcoma with a germline pathogenic BRCA2 variant that responded favorably to chemotherapy.

Association of Multiple High-Risk Factors on Observed Outcomes in Real-World Patients With Advanced Ovarian Cancer Treated With First-Line Therapy. JCO Clin Cancer Inform 2023; 7:e2200189.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify risk factors for disease progression or death and assess outcomes by risk categories in real-world patients with advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS This retrospective study included adult patients from a nationwide electronic health record-derived deidentified database with stage III/IV ovarian cancer who received first-line therapy and had ≥12 weeks of follow-up after index date (end of first-line therapy). Factors predictive of time to next treatment and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Patients were grouped according to the cumulative number of high-risk factors present (stage IV disease, no debulking surgery or neoadjuvant therapy and interval debulking surgery, visible residual disease after surgery, and breast cancer gene [BRCA] wild-type disease/unknown BRCA status), and time to next treatment and OS were assessed. RESULTS Region of residence, disease stage, histology, BRCA status, surgery modality, and visible residual disease were significant predictors of time to next treatment; age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, disease stage, BRCA status, surgery modality, visible residual disease, and platelet levels were significant predictors of OS (N = 1,920). Overall, 96.4%, 74.1%, and 40.3% of patients had at least 1, 2, or 3 high-risk factors, respectively; 15.7% of patients had all four high-risk factors. Observed median time to next treatment was 26.4 months (95% CI, 17.1 to 49.2) in patients with no high-risk factors and 4.6 months (95% CI, 4.1 to 5.7) in patients with four high-risk factors. Observed median OS was shorter among patients with more high-risk factors. CONCLUSION These results underscore the complexity of risk assessment and demonstrate the importance of assessing a patient's cumulative risk profile rather than the impact of individual high-risk factors. They also highlight the potential for bias in cross-trial comparisons of median progression-free survival because of differences in risk-factor distribution among patient populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We evaluated real-world outcomes in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) based on their cumulative risk profile and maintenance therapy (MT) status following first-line (1L) treatment. METHODS This retrospective observational study of a nationwide electronic health record-derived de-identified database included adult patients diagnosed with stage III/IV OC from January 1, 2011 to February 28, 2021, who received 1L therapy and had ≥ 12 weeks of follow-up after the index date (end of 1L therapy). Patients were grouped according to whether they received MT or active surveillance (AS) following 1L treatment and by the cumulative number of risk factors (RF) present (stage IV disease; no surgery/treated with neoadjuvant therapy and interval debulking surgery; had postoperative visible residual disease; and had BRCA wild-type disease/unknown BRCA status). Time to next treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS) were assessed with a cloning and inverse probability of censoring (IPC)-weighted Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Among 1920 patients, 22.2% received MT and 77.8% received AS. Median IPC-weighted TTNT and OS were 13.3 months (95% CI 11.7-15.8) and 39.1 months (95% CI 32.5-48.6) in the MT cohort, respectively, and 8.6 months (95% CI 8.0-9.5) and 38.4 months (95% CI 36.4-41.0) in the AS cohort, respectively. Almost all patients had ≥ 1 RF (MT 95.3%; AS 96.7%). Median IPC-weighted TTNT was shorter among patients with more RF in both cohorts (MT: 1 RF, 19.3 months, 95% CI 13.5-37.8; 2 RF, 17.2 months, 95% CI 12.8-20.2; 3 RF, 11.0 months, 95% CI 8.2-13.8; 4 RF, 7.0 months, 95% CI 6.2-8.8; AS: 1 RF, 17.7 months, 95% CI 13.5-22.3; 2 RF, 10.2 months, 95% CI 9.1-11.5; 3 RF, 6.5 months, 95% CI 5.8-7.4; 4 RF, 4.1 months, 95% CI 3.5-4.5). CONCLUSION Regardless of RF number, MT was associated with longer TTNT in real-world patients with AOC.

Abstract
The outcomes and best treatment strategies for germline BRCA1/2 mutation (gBRCAm) carriers with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remain uncertain. We compared the overall survival and the first line progression free survival (PFS1) of patients with a gBRCAm identified at initiation of first-line treatment with those of BRCA wild-type (WT) and not-tested (NT) individuals in the ESME real-world database of MBC patients between 2008 and 2016 (NCT03275311). Among the 20 624 eligible patients, 325 had a gBRCAm, 1138 were WT and 19 161 NT. Compared with WT, gBRCAm carriers were younger, and had more aggressive diseases. At a median follow-up of 50.5 months, median OS was 30.6 (95%CI: 21.9-34.3), 35.8 (95%CI: 32.2-37.8) and 39.3 months (95% CI: 38.3-40.3) in the gBRCAm, WT and NT subgroups, respectively. Median PFS1 was 7.9 (95%CI: 6.6-9.3), 7.8 (95%CI: 7.3-8.5) and 9.7 months (95%CI, 9.5-10.0). In the multivariable analysis conducted in the whole cohort, gBRCAm status had however no independent prognostic impact on OS and PFS1. Though, in the triple-negative subgroup, gBRCAm patients had better OS and PFS1 (HR vs WT = 0.76; 95%CI: 0.60-0.97; P = .027 and 0.69; 95% CI: 0.55-0.86; P = .001, respectively). In contrast, in patients with HR+/HER2 negative cancers, PFS1 appeared significantly and OS non significantly lower for gBRCAm carriers (PFS1: HR vs WT = 1.23; 95%CI: 1.03-1.46; P = .024; OS:HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.97-1.52, P = .089). In conclusion, gBRCA1/2 status appears to have divergent survival effects in MBC according to IHC subtype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE DNA damage repair (DDR) gene mutations gained interest in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC) patients, but their relevance in adjuvant setting is not well characterized. We assessed the prognostic and predictive potential of tumoral expression of DDR proteins along with clinical and tumor characteristics in patients with resected PC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with PC who underwent pancreatic resection in our institution between 2005 and 2017 were retrospectively retrieved. Tumoral expression of a panel of DDR proteins including BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, and p53 with immunohistochemistry was evaluated and association with patient and tumor features as well as prognosis was assessed. RESULTS 130 patients were included in the study. The median age was 61 and 66% were males, 57% had lymph node involvement and 17% had a vascular invasion. 25 patients (19%) had thrombosis at the time of diagnosis. Median overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 21.6 and 11.8 months, respectively. More advanced disease stage (HR: 3.67 95% CI 1.48-9.12, p = 0.005), presence of thrombosis (HR: 2.01 95% CI 1.04-3.89, p = 0.039), high BRCA1 expression (HR: 2.25, 95% CI 1.13-5.48, p = 0.023) and high post-operative CA 19-9 level (>100 IU/ml) (HR:2.61 95% CI 1.40-4.89, p = 0.003) were associated with shorter DFS. BRCA2, ATM, and p53 expression were not associated with DFS or OS. Adjuvant gemcitabine-cisplatin regimen was not associated with increased DFS or OS in the whole group, neither in low or high expressors of BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM or p53. CONCLUSION Contrary to BRCA2, ATM, and P53, BRCA1 expression may be beneficial for prognosis in resected pancreatic cancer, while no predictive role was observed in terms of adjuvant platinum efficacy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chemotherapy for high-grade serous ovarian cancers in platinum-sensitive relapse includes carboplatin/paclitaxel, carboplatin/gemcitabine, and carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. According to in vitro data, BRCA mutated patients are sensitive to replicative stress agents but BRCA status is not yet used for the choice of chemotherapy at relapse. Our aim was to assess these doublets according to BRCA status in first platinum-sensitive relapse. METHODS The ESME ovarian cancer database comprises a multicenter retrospective cohort of patients with ovarian cancer treated in French cancer centers between January 2011 and December 2017. Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancers at first platinum-sensitive relapse who received one of these doublets were included. The objective was to compare progression-free survival of each chemotherapy doublet according to BRCA status. RESULTS Among the 10 263 patients in the database, 1539 patients had a first platinum-sensitive relapse: 825 BRCA wild type patients (53.6%) and 304 BRCA mutated patients (19.8%) (7 patients had a homologous recombination mutation and BRCA status was unkown for 403 patients). Median progression-free survival was longer in BRCA mutated patients than in BRCA wild type patients when receiving carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin without maintenance treatment (15.8 vs 11.8 months; p<0.001). In contrast, we observed no difference in patients treated with carboplatin/paclitaxel (14.6 vs 14.3 months, respectively; p=0.70) or in those treated with carboplatin/gemcitabine (12.0 vs 9.8 months, respectively; p=0.18). In BRCA wild type patients without maintenance, better progression-free survival occurred with carboplatin/paclitaxel (median progression-free survival 14.3 months) than with carboplatin/gemcitabine and carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (9.8 and 11.8 months, respectively; p=0.017). In BRCA mutated patients without maintenance, there was no difference between the three doublets (median progression-free survival of 14.6, 12.0, and 15.8 months with carboplatin/paclitaxel, carboplatin/gemcitabine, and carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, respectively; p=0.40). CONCLUSION While treatment with carboplatin/paclitaxel, carboplatin/gemcitabine, and carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin shows comparable efficacy in BRCA mutated patients, treatment with carboplatin/paclitaxel appears to be more effective than carboplatin/gemcitabine and carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in BRCA wild type patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancers at first platinum-sensitive relapse.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of individualized chemotherapy combined with sequential immunotherapy based on BRCA1 mRNA expression in unresectable pancreatic cancer. METHODS The expression of BRCA1 mRNA in tumor tissues of 25 patients with pancreatic cancer was detected in this retrospective study. Patients in the medium and high expression groups were treated with paclitaxel-based chemotherapy: albumin paclitaxel 125mg/m2, gemcitabine 1g/m2, day 1. Patients in the low expression group were treated with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy: oxaliplatin 85mg/m2, gemcitabine 1g/m2, day 1. Sequential GM-CSF and IL-2 immunotherapy were applied. Patient condition, treatment efficacy and safety were assessed every 4 cycles. RESULTS A total of 25 patients were enrolled in the study. All of them were observed for toxic side effects and 24 of them were evaluated for efficacy. The median overall survival and median progression-free survival were 11.9 months and 6.3 months. The disease control rate was 91.7%, of which 37.5% (9/24) patients achieved partial remission (PR), 54.2% (13/24) patients achieved stable disease (SD) and 8.3% (2/24) patients were assessed as progressive disease(PD). Of the 15 patients with medium or high expression in BRCA1 mRNA, 7 achieved PR and 8 achieved SD. Of the 9 patients with low BRCA1 mRNA expression, 2 achieved PR, 5 achieved SD and 2 had PD. The proportion of eosinophils in the blood of some patients with good therapeutic effects was significantly higher than that before treatment. Hematological and non-hematological toxicity during the treatment were mostly grade 1~2. The two most common grade 3 to 4 adverse events were fever and thrombocytopenia. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that individualized selection of chemotherapy combined with sequential immunotherapy according to BRCA1 mRNA expression level in unresectable pancreatic cancer could control the disease and have controllable adverse reactions.

Temporal Patterns and Adoption of Germline and Somatic BRCA Testing in Ovarian Cancer. Obstet Gynecol 2022; 140:758-767. [PMID: 36201776 PMCID: PMC9588544 DOI: 10.1097/aog.0000000000004958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the testing rate, patient characteristics, temporal trends, timing, and results of germline and somatic BRCA testing in patients with ovarian cancer using real-world data. METHODS We included a cross-sectional subset of adult patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer between January 1, 2011, and November 30, 2018, who received frontline treatment and were followed for at least 1 year in a real-world database. The primary outcome was receipt of BRCA testing, classified by biosample source as germline (blood or saliva) or somatic (tissue). Lines of therapy (frontline, second line, third line) were derived based on dates of surgery and chemotherapy. Descriptive statistics were analyzed. RESULTS Among 2,557 patients, 72.2% (n=1,846) had at least one documented BRCA test. Among tested patients, 62.5% (n=1,154) had only germline testing, 10.6% (n=197) had only somatic testing, and 19.9% (n=368) had both. Most patients had testing before (9.7%, n=276) or during (48.6%, n=1,521) frontline therapy, with 17.6% (n=273) tested during second-line and 12.7% (n=129) tested during third-line therapy. Patients who received BRCA testing, compared with patients without testing, were younger (mean age 63 years vs 66 years, P <.001) and were more likely to be treated at an academic practice (10.4% vs 7.0%, P =.01), with differences by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score ( P <.001), stage of disease ( P <.001), histology ( P <.001), geography ( P <.001), and type of frontline therapy ( P <.001), but no differences based on race or ethnicity. The proportion of patients who received BRCA testing within 1 year of diagnosis increased from 24.6% of patients in 2011 to 75.6% of patients in 2018. CONCLUSION In a large cohort of patients with ovarian cancer, significant practice disparities existed in testing for actionable BRCA mutations. Despite increased testing over time, many patients did not receive testing, suggesting missed opportunities to identify patients appropriate for targeted therapy and genetic counseling.

Cancer Treat Res Commun 2022; 33:100625. [PMID: 36057142 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctarc.2022.100625] [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: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Very recently, emerging evidence demonstrated that laterality might be an independent prognostic factor in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (OC). Based on preliminary provocative observations, our study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of sidedness in a large cohort of women with OC. Survival was estimated based on Kaplan-Meier method and survival curves were compared using Log-rank test. Cox proportional-hazards model was used to study the association between survival and covariates. A total of 10,177 women with OC were included. Mean age at diagnosis was 59.58 years (±13.5); 36.7% OC right-sided, 36.9% were left- sided, and 26.4% had bilateral OC. The median overall survival (OS) for the entire population was 77 months, with the lowest median OS observed in bilateral OC (median OS: 34 months). The prognostic value of OC sidedness was not confirmed at the univariable analysis (HR = 0.958; 95% CI: 0.888-1.033, p = 0.268). However, women with bilateral OC has a 45% higher risk of death as compared with unilateral diagnosis (HR = 1.453; 95% CI: 1.410-1.497; p< 0.001). The independent prognostic value was further confirmed on multivarible analysis after adjusting for covariates including age, marital status, histological type, CA-125 at diagnosis, grade, stage, chemotherapy and surgery (HR = 1.087; 95% CI: 1.043-1.136, p = 0.02). However, the ultimate prognostic significance appeared less prominent, with bilateral OC conferring a relative increase of 8.7% of mortality. Our real-world study demonstrated that impact of tumor sidedness has no prognostic implication (right vs left OC) but bilateral OCs might be marginally more prognostically unfavorable. Prospective validation might be warranted, to confirm the prognostic significance of OC sidedness, including for the presence of key genetic alterations and lymph nodes asymmetry, to better stratify patients with OC and predict outcomes according to tumor sidedness at diagnosis.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and ovarian carcinomas (OvCas) with
BRCA1
promoter methylation (
BRCA1
meth) respond more poorly to alkylating agents compared to those bearing mutations in
BRCA1
and
BRCA2
(
BRCA
mut). This is a conundrum given the biologically equivalent homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) induced by these genetic and epigenetic
BRCA
perturbations. We dissected this problem through detailed genomic analyses of TNBC and OvCa cohorts and experimentation with patient-derived xenografts and genetically engineered cell lines. We found that despite identical downstream genomic mutational signatures associated with
BRCA1
meth and
BRCA
mut states,
BRCA1
meth uniformly associates with poor outcomes. Exposure of
BRCA1
meth TNBCs to platinum chemotherapy, either as clinical treatment of a patient or as experimental in vivo exposure of preclinical patient derived xenografts, resulted in allelic loss of
BRCA1
methylation and increased
BRCA1
expression and platinum resistance. These data suggest that, unlike
BRCA
mut cancers, where
BRCA
loss is a genetically “fixed” deficiency state,
BRCA1
meth cancers are highly adaptive to genotoxin exposure and, through reversal of promoter methylation, recover
BRCA1
expression and become resistant to therapy. We further found a specific augmented immune transcriptional signal associated with enhanced response to platinum chemotherapy but only in patients with BRCA-proficient cancers. We showed how integrating both this cancer immune signature and the presence of
BRCA
mutations results in more accurate predictions of patient response when compared to either HRD status or
BRCA
status alone. This underscores the importance of defining
BRCA
heterogeneity in optimizing the predictive precision of assigning response probabilities in TNBC and OvCa.

Oral Contraceptive Use in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers: Absolute Cancer Risks and Benefits. J Natl Cancer Inst 2022; 114:540-552.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To help BRCA1 and 2 mutation carriers make informed decisions regarding use of combined-type oral contraceptive preparation (COCP), absolute risk-benefit estimates are needed for COCP-associated cancer. METHODS For a hypothetical cohort of 10 000 women, we calculated the increased or decreased cumulative incidence of COCP-associated (breast, ovarian, endometrial) cancer, examining 18 scenarios with differences in duration and timing of COCP use, uptake of prophylactic surgeries, and menopausal hormone therapy. RESULTS COCP use initially increased breast cancer risk and decreased ovarian and endometrial cancer risk long term. For 10 000 BRCA1 mutation carriers, 10 years of COCP use from age 20 to 30 years resulted in 66 additional COCP-associated cancer cases by the age of 35 years, in addition to 625 cases expected for never users. By the age of 70 years such COCP use resulted in 907 fewer cancer cases than the expected 9093 cases in never users. Triple-negative breast cancer estimates resulted in 196 additional COCP-associated cases by age 40 years, in addition to the 1454 expected. For 10 000 BRCA2 mutation carriers using COCP from age 20 to 30 years, 80 excess cancer cases were estimated by age 40 years in addition to 651 expected cases; by the age of 70 years, we calculated 382 fewer cases compared with the 6156 cases expected. The long-term benefit of COCP use diminished after risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by menopausal hormone therapy use. CONCLUSION Although COCP use in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers initially increases breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer risk, it strongly decreases lifetime cancer risk. Risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and menopausal hormone therapy use appear to counteract the long-term COCP-benefit.

Abstract
Mutated germline alleles in the DNA damage repair (DDR) genes “breast cancer gene 1” (BRCA1) and BRCA2 have originally been identified as major susceptibility genes in breast and ovarian cancers. With the establishment and approval of more cost-effective gene sequencing methods, germline and somatic BRCA mutations have been detected in several cancers. Since the approval of poly (ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) for BRCA-mutated cancers, BRCA mutations gained rising therapeutic implications. The impact and significance of BRCA mutations have been evaluated extensively in the last decades. Moreover, other genes involved in the DDR pathway, such as ATM, ATR, or CHK1, have emerged as potential new treatment targets, as inhibitors of these proteins are currently under clinical investigation. This review gives a concise overview on the emerging clinical implications of mutations in the DDR genes in gastrointestinal cancers with a focus on BRCA mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the clinical impact of germline (g)BRCA1/2-mutation on initial disease presentation, surgical implications, surgical morbidity and survival in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) undergoing debulking surgery (DS). METHODS Data of all consecutive EOC patients with stage III/IV, high-grade serous disease and known gBRCA1/2 status (gBRCA; non-gBRCA), who underwent DS at our department between 01/2011 and 06/2019 were analyzed. Associations between gBRCA-status and severe postoperative complications and survival were analyzed. RESULTS gBRCA-status was determined in 50.1% (612/1221) of all patients. gBRCA was present in 21.9% (134/612). Significant differences were observed in terms of median age (p = 0.001) and histology (high-grade serous histology gBRCA: 98.5%, non-gBRCA 76.2%; p < 0.001). gBRCA-status had no impact on intraoperative disease presentation, surgical complexity or complete resection rate (gBRCA: 74.4%, non-gBRCA: 69.0%; p = 0.274). gBRCA-status was not predictive for severe postoperative complication (gBRCA: 12.0%, non-gBRCA: 19.1%; p = 0.082). Median PFS and OS was 31/22 and 71/53 months in patients with/without gBRCA-mutation, respectively. gBRCA was a significant prognostic factor for PFS (HR 0.57 p < 0.001) and for OS (HR 0.64, p = 0.048) after adjusting for established prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS gBRCA-status had no impact on initial disease presentation, surgical results or postoperative complications. gBRCA patients have a significantly longer PFS but the impact on the long term prognosis is unclear. Complete resection remains the most important prognostic factor in patients with EOC independent of gBRCA-status.

Abstract
PURPOSE There are deficient data on prevalence of germline mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes 1 and 2 (BRCA1/BRCA2) in Indian patients with ovarian cancer who are not selected by clinical features. METHODS This prospective, cross-sectional, noninterventional study in nine Indian centers included patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. The primary objective was to assess the prevalence of BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations, and the secondary objective was to correlate BRCA1/BRCA2 status with clinicopathologic characteristics. Mutation testing was performed by a standard next-generation sequencing assay. RESULTS Between March 2018 and December 2018, 239 patients with a median age of 53.0 (range, 23.0-86.0 years) years were included, of whom 203 (84.9%) had newly diagnosed disease, 36 (15.1%) had family history of ovarian or breast cancer, and 159 (66.5%) had serous subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer. Germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 were detected in 37 (15.5%; 95% CI, 11.1 to 20.7) and 14 (5.9%; 95% CI, 3.2 to 9.6) patients, respectively, whereas variants of uncertain significance in these genes were seen in four (1.7%; 95% CI, 0.5 to 4.2) and six (2.5%; 95% CI, 0.9 to 5.4) patients, respectively. The prevalence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic BRCA mutations in patients with serous versus nonserous tumors, with versus without relevant family history, and ≤ 50 years versus > 50 years, were 40 of 159 (25.2%; 95% CI, 18.6 to 32.6) versus 11 of 80 (13.8%; 95% CI, 7.1 to 23.3; P = .0636), 20 of 36 (55.6%; 95% CI, 38.1 to 72.1) versus 41 of 203 (20.2%; 95% CI, 14.9 to 26.4; P < .0001), and 20 of 90 (22.2%; 95% CI, 14.1 to 32.2) versus 31 of 149 (20.8%; 95% CI, 14.6 to 28.2; P = .7956), respectively. CONCLUSION There is a high prevalence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline BRCA mutations in Indian patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has shown promising results in the clinical setting of oligometastatic, persistent, or recurrent disease in several malignancies including ovarian cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE The MITO-RT3/RAD trial is a prospective, multicenter phase II study aimed at identifying potential predictors of response and clinical outcome after SBRT treatment. STUDY HYPOTHESIS Radiotherapy delivered by pre-defined SBRT treatment schedules and shared constraints could improve the rate of complete response. TRIAL DESIGN All patients accrued will be treated with a radiotherapy dose in the range of 30-50 Gy by 1, 3, or 5 SBRT daily fractions to all sites of active metastatic disease according to diagnostic imaging. Schedules of treatment and dose prescription have been established before considering target sites and healthy organ dose constraints. Follow-up and monitoring of side effects will be carried out every 3 months for the first year with imaging and clinical evalutation, and every 4 months within the second year; thereafter, surveillance will be carried out every 6 months. The best response on a per lesion basis will be evaluated by computed tomographic (CT) scan, positron emission tomography/CT, or magnetic resonance imaging in case of brain lesions, every 3 months. MAJOR INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA The study includes patients with oligometastatic, persistent, or recurrent ovarian cancer for which salvage surgery or other local therapies are not feasible due to any relative contra-indication to further systemic therapy because of serious co-morbidities, previous severe toxicity, unavailability of potentially active systemic therapy, or patient refusal. PRIMARY ENDPOINT The primary endpoint of the study is the clinical complete response rate to SBRT by imaging on a per lesion basis. SAMPLE SIZE Approximately 205 lesions will be treated (90 lymph nodes and 115 parenchyma lesions). ESTIMATED DATES FOR COMPLETING ACCRUAL AND PRESENTING RESULTS Fifty-two centers have expressed their intention to participate. Enrollment should be completed by March 2023 and analysis will be completed in September 2023. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04593381.

Achieving universal genetic assessment for women with ovarian cancer: Are we there yet? A systematic review and meta-analysis. Gynecol Oncol 2021; 162:506-516.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several professional organizations recommend universal genetic assessment for people with ovarian cancer as identifying pathogenic variants can affect treatment, prognosis, and all-cause mortality for patients and relatives. We sought to evaluate the literature on genetic assessment for women with ovarian cancer and determine if any interventions or patient characteristics drive utilization of services. METHODS We searched key electronic databases to identify trials that evaluated genetic assessment for people with ovarian cancer. Trials with the primary aim to evaluate utilization of genetic assessment with or without interventions were included. Eligible trials were subjected to meta-analysis and the moderating influence of health interventions on rates of genetic assessment were examined. RESULTS A total of 35 studies were included (19 report on utilization of genetic services without an intervention, 7 with an intervention, and 9 with both scenarios). Without an intervention, pooled estimates for referral to genetic counseling and completion of genetic testing were 39% [CI 27-53%] and 30% [CI 19-44%]. Clinician-facilitated interventions included: mainstreaming of genetic services (99% [CI 86-100%]), telemedicine (75% [CI 43-93%]), clinic-embedded genetic counselor (76% [CI 32-95%]), reflex tumor somatic genetic assessment (64% [CI 17-94%]), universal testing (57% [28-82%]), and referral forms (26% [CI 10-53%]). Random-effects pooled proportions demonstrated that Black vs. White race was associated with a lower rate of genetic testing (26%[CI 17-38%] vs. 40% [CI 25-57%]) as was being un-insured vs. insured (23% [CI 18-28%] vs. 38% [CI 26-53%]). CONCLUSIONS Reported rates of genetic testing for people with ovarian cancer remain well below the goal of universal testing. Interventions such as mainstreaming can improve testing uptake. Strategies aimed at improving utilization of genetic services should consider existing disparities in race and insurance status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Homologous recombination deficiencies are associated with increased platinum sensitivity and potential response to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors in epithelial ovarian cancer. As an alternative to germline testing or somatic tumor sequencing, BRCA1 deficiency can be detected by immunohistochemistry and might predict homologous recombination deficiencies. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the association between BRCA1 expression by immunohistochemistry and the prognosis of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases through July 2019. Reference lists of selected articles were screened for further studies. We conducted qualitative synthesis and meta-analyses of hazard ratios for overall survival and progression-free survival. RESULTS Of 41 studies of BRCA1 expression using immunohistochemistry, 18 evaluated the association of BRCA1 expression with patient survival (2738 cases). The loss of BRCA1 expression was associated with improved overall survival (hazard ratio = 0.67, 95% confidence interval 0.57-0.77) and progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.58-0.84). CONCLUSIONS Negative BRCA1 expression assessed by immunohistochemistry was associated with a better prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Aberrant DNA methylation in the BRCA1 promoter region causes epigenetic silencing of BRCA1 gene expression, which is critical for breast cancer development. However, how BRCA1 promoter methylation status alters histological features remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the possibility to predict BRCA1 promoter methylation status based on the morphological and immunohistochemical features of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). The morphological features of 53 TNBCs were evaluated with hematoxylin-eosin staining, with immunohistochemical staining of BRCA1, androgen receptor, p53, cytokeratin 5/6, and epidermal growth factor receptor. BRCA1 promoter methylation status was used to distinguish BRCA1 promoter-methylated tumors (BPMTs) from BRCA1 promoter-unmethylated tumors (BPUTs) dependent on pathological characteristics. BPMTs comprised approximately 26% of the TNBCs. Immunohistochemical analysis found that BRCA1 protein expression was significantly lower in BPMT compared with BPUT (p = 0.016). Morphologically, BPMTs were associated with high mitotic index (p = 0.017), pushing margin (p = 0.017), a circumscribed growth pattern (p = 0.014), and a syncytial growth pattern (p = 0.034) compared with BPUTs. We then assessed the potential of predicting BRCA1 promoter methylation status by using published score systems based on these morphological characteristics. A receiver operating characteristic analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.80. This study found that BRCA1 promoter methylation status could be derived from morphological features and lower BRCA1 expression of TNBCs, which may help identify suitable cases for target treatment with PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
In advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) the complete eradication of all macroscopic disease at primary debulking surgery (PDS) is associated with the best outcome. If this cannot be achieved, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS) can make complete cytoreduction possible while reducing postoperative morbidity. It is still debated if PDS and NACT- IDS are associated with similar survival and if they provide different outcomes when optimal cytoreduction is achieved. For a tailored surgical planning, accurate prediction of tumor's resectability, assessment of patient's performance status and in-depth knowledge of tumor biology are required. Both BRCA1/2 status and the "chemotherapy response score" are reliable markers of chemosensitivity and may thus improve our way to triage patients to PDS or NACT-IDS; furthermore, they could be used to modulate our surgical approach and define appropriate subgroups of patients for whom new therapies should be tested.

Abstract
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are multi-functional proteins and key factors for maintaining genomic stability through their roles in DNA double strand break repair by homologous recombination, rescuing stalled or damaged DNA replication forks, and regulation of cell cycle DNA damage checkpoints. Impairment of any of these critical roles results in genomic instability, a phenotypic hallmark of many cancers including breast and epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOC). Damaging, usually loss of function germline and somatic variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2, are important drivers of the development, progression, and management of high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). However, mutations in these genes render patients particularly sensitive to platinum-based chemotherapy, and to the more innovative targeted therapies with poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) that are targeted to BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers. Here, we reviewed the literature on the responsiveness of BRCA1/2-associated HGSOC to platinum-based chemotherapy and PARPis, and propose mechanisms underlying the frequent development of resistance to these therapeutic agents.

Abstract
BRCA immunohistochemistry is simple, less expensive and widely available. Negative BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 expression was found in 34 patients (32.4%). BRCA immunohistochemistry has high negative predictive value of 96%. It may be useful to exclude patients without BRCA dysfunction.
To evaluate BRCA1/2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a screening test for germline BRCA1/2 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), tumor tissue from 105 EOC patients who had germline BRCA mutations, including 9 BRCA1 mutations, 6 BRCA2 mutations and 90 no BRCA mutations, were studied. Paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were stained for BRCA1 and BRCA2. Tumors were indicated as a loss of BRCA expression when neoplastic nuclear stained less than 10%. Loss of BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 expression was found in 36 patients (34.3%). BRCA1 IHC loss was found in 21 patients (20%) while 24 patients (22.9%) had BRCA2 IHC loss. There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between both groups. Loss of BRCA1 expression had 66.7% sensitivity, 84.3% specificity, 28.6% positive predictive value (PPV), and 96.4% negative predictive value (NPV) for detection of germline BRCA1 mutation. Meanwhile, loss of BRCA2 expression had 50% sensitivity, 78.8% specificity, 12.5% PPV, and 96.3% NPV for detection of germline BRCA2 mutation. There was no significant difference in survival outcomes between both groups. Based on high NPV, BRCA IHC may be useful to exclude patients without BRCA dysfunction if IHC showed intact expression. Only patients with BRCA IHC loss should be offered further genetic testing.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide recommendations on genetic and tumor testing for women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer based on available evidence and expert consensus. METHODS A literature search and prospectively defined study selection criteria sought systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and comparative observational studies published from 2007 through 2019. Guideline recommendations were based on the review of the evidence. RESULTS The systematic review identified 19 eligible studies. The evidence consisted of systematic reviews of observational data, consensus guidelines, and RCTs. RECOMMENDATIONS All women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer should have germline genetic testing for BRCA1/2 and other ovarian cancer susceptibility genes. In women who do not carry a germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic BRCA1/2 variant, somatic tumor testing for BRCA1/2 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants should be performed. Women with identified germline or somatic pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in BRCA1/2 genes should be offered treatments that are US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in the upfront and the recurrent setting. Women diagnosed with clear cell, endometrioid, or mucinous ovarian cancer should be offered somatic tumor testing for mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR). Women with identified dMMR should be offered FDA-approved treatment based on these results. Genetic evaluations should be conducted in conjunction with health care providers familiar with the diagnosis and management of hereditary cancer. First- or second-degree blood relatives of a patient with ovarian cancer with a known germline pathogenic cancer susceptibility gene variant should be offered individualized genetic risk evaluation, counseling, and genetic testing. Clinical decision making should not be made based on a variant of uncertain significance. Women with epithelial ovarian cancer should have testing at the time of diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE BRCA mutations are the most frequent mutations causing homologous recombination defects in epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC). Germline mutation carriers are heterozygous for the mutation and harbor one defective allele in all cells. This has been hypothesized to cause increased susceptibility to DNA damage in healthy cells as well as neoplastic ones. Our objective was to assess chemotherapy-associated toxicities in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer with and without a germline BRCA mutation. MATEIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study of patients with EOC receiving first-line platinum-based chemotherapy at a single center between 2006 and 2016. Indices of chemotoxicity, including blood counts, transfusion requirements, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (gCSF) prescriptions, episodes of febrile neutropenia, and treatment delays were compared for BRCA mutation carriers and noncarriers. RESULTS A total of 90 women met the inclusion criteria, including 31 BRCA mutation carriers (34%) and 59 noncarriers (66%). Mean hemoglobin, neutrophil count, and platelet counts during treatment were comparable for the two patient groups. There was a trend toward a higher frequency of hematological events in BRCA mutation carriers (neutropenia <1500 per mL: 6% vs. 0%, p = .12; thrombocytopenia <100,000 per mL: 23% vs. 9%, p = .07), but these differences were not statistically significant. Similarly, no significant differences were found in surrogates of bone marrow toxicity such as blood transfusions, use of gCSF, episodes of febrile neutropenia, or treatment delays. CONCLUSION BRCA mutation carriers and noncarriers receiving first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for EOC have similar hematologic toxicity profiles. Clinicians treating these patients can be reassured that chemotherapy dosing or schedule do not require adjustment in patients carrying BRCA mutations. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Patients with ovarian cancer carrying BRCA mutations are more likely to have serous tumors and present with higher CA125 levels. Germline BRCA mutation status is not associated with increased frequency of adverse hematologic events among patients with ovarian cancer being treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Germline BRCA mutations are also not associated with more treatment delays or a lower number of courses completed in this patient population. These findings should reassure practitioners engaged in care for patients with ovarian cancer that BRCA mutation status most likely will not affect chemotherapy dosing or schedule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic testing is widely recommended for all epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. However, an increased probability of identifying germline mutations has been reported in selected patients with risk factors such as a family history or personal history of cancer and high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) subtype. HGSC has been reported to be the most common subtype of EOC worldwide (approximately 70%). However, this subtype is less prevalent in Thai patients (reported as only 20%). The difference in the distribution of various subtypes of EOC may reflect the incidence of germline mutations in Thai EOC patients.
AIM To evaluate the frequencies of germline mutations in EOC patients and to compare the frequencies in those with and without clinical risk factors for hereditary ovarian cancer.
METHODS This cross-sectional study included 112 nonmucinous EOC patients who underwent primary surgery at our tertiary care hospital. Clinical risk factors for hereditary ovarian cancer were defined as follows: Age below 40 years, a significant family history of cancer, synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancer, and HGSC. Comprehensive germline mutations were detected by next-generation sequencing.
RESULTS Of a total of 112 patients, 82 (73.2%) patients had ≥ 1 risk factor and 30 (26.8%) patients had no risk factors. Germline mutations were detected in 26 patients: 20 (17.8%) patients had BRCA1/2 mutations, but 6 (5.4%) patients had mutations in other genes, including 1 in MLH1, 1 in MSH2, 1 in RAD51C, 2 in ATM and 1 in CDH1. Germline mutations were only detected in patients with risk factors (26 of 82, 31.7%), not in patients without risk factors (P < 0.001). A significant family history of cancer and HGSC were the only two significant risk factors associated with a higher proportion of germline mutations (56.3% vs 10% for those with and without a history of cancer, respectively, 40.8% vs 9.5% for those with and without HGSC). Germline BRCA mutations were detected in 38.8% of patients with HGSC but in only 1.6% of those with non-HGSC. An age below 40 years, personal history of breast cancer, and synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancer were not significant factors (14.3% vs 23.5%, 33.3% vs 21%, 22.2% vs 22.3%).
CONCLUSION Approximately one-third of EOC patients with risk factors had germline mutations. Almost all germline BRCA mutations were found in patients with the HGSC subtype. Selected patients with HGSC and a family history of cancer should be initially considered for genetic analysis in Thailand.

[PMID: 31229298 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2019.05.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2019] [Revised: 05/10/2019] [Accepted: 05/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare patient/tumor characteristics and outcomes of Asians to Caucasian patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS Ancillary data were pooled and analyzed from ten prospective randomized front-line Gynecologic Oncology Group clinical trials from 1996 to 2011. Demographic, clinicopathologic features, disease-specific and all-cause survival were analyzed. RESULTS Of 7914 patients, 7641 were Caucasian and 273 Asian. When compared to Caucasians, Asians were younger at trial enrollment, had a better performance status, earlier-stage cancers (17.2% vs. 8.1% with stage I; p < 0.001), and were more likely to be of clear cell (15.8% vs. 6.2%, p < 0.001) and mucinous (3.3% vs. 1.9%, p < 0.001) histology. Asians had an improved 5-year disease-specific survival of 54.1% compared to 46.1% for Caucasians, p = 0.001. In multivariate analysis, the Asian race remained a significant prognostic factor for all-cause survival (HR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.72-0.99; p = 0.04). Other factors predictive of improved survival included younger age, better performance status, optimal cytoreduction, earlier stage, non-clear cell histology, and lower grade tumors. CONCLUSION Asians enrolled into phase III ovarian cancer clinical trials were younger, with better performance status, earlier-stage of disease, and have a greater number of clear cell and mucinous tumors. After adjusting for these prognostic factors, Asians have a better survival compared to Caucasians.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the associations between inter-site texture heterogeneity parameters derived from computed tomography (CT), survival, and BRCA mutation status in women with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective study of 88 HGSOC patients undergoing CT and BRCA mutation status testing prior to primary cytoreductive surgery. Associations between texture metrics-namely inter-site cluster variance (SCV), inter-site cluster prominence (SCP), inter-site cluster entropy (SE)-and overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) as well as BRCA mutation status were assessed. RESULTS Higher inter-site cluster variance (SCV) was associated with lower PFS (p = 0.006) and OS (p = 0.003). Higher inter-site cluster prominence (SCP) was associated with lower PFS (p = 0.02) and higher inter-site cluster entropy (SE) correlated with lower OS (p = 0.01). Higher values of all three metrics were significantly associated with lower complete surgical resection status in BRCA-negative patients (SE p = 0.039, SCV p = 0.006, SCP p = 0.02), but not in BRCA-positive patients (SE p = 0.7, SCV p = 0.91, SCP p = 0.67). None of the metrics were able to distinguish between BRCA mutation carrier and non-mutation carrier. CONCLUSION The assessment of tumoral heterogeneity in the era of personalized medicine is important, as increased heterogeneity has been associated with distinct genomic abnormalities and worse patient outcomes. A radiomics approach using standard-of-care CT scans might have a clinical impact by offering a non-invasive tool to predict outcome and therefore improving treatment effectiveness. However, it was not able to assess BRCA mutation status in women with HGSOC.

Abstract
An estimated 2-5% of endometrial cancers and 15-20% of high-grade, non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancers have an underlying hereditary cause. Appropriate risk assessment, genetic counseling, and germline genetic testing for cancer predisposition genes in both gynecologic cancer patients and their at-risk relatives is essential for effective delivery of tailored cancer treatment and cancer prevention. However, significant disparities exist within medically underserved and minority populations in the United States regarding awareness of, access to, and use of genetic services. The objectives of this review are to summarize the literature on genetic counseling and genetic testing of gynecologic cancer patients, the cascade genetic testing of their families following the identification of a germline mutation associated with susceptibility to cancer, to highlight disparities between populations, and to present some potential remedies.

BRCA1, Ki67, and β-Catenin Immunoexpression Is Not Related to Differentiation, Platinum Response, or Prognosis in Women With Low- and High-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2019; 28:437-447.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the immunohistochemical expression of BRCA1, Ki67, and β-catenin in women with low-grade (LGSOC) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOC) and their relationship with clinicopathological features, response to platinum-based chemotherapy, and survival. METHODS For this study, 21 LGSOC and 85 HGSOC stage I to IV cases, diagnosed and treated from 1996 to 2013 and followed-up until December 2016, were included. BRCA1, Ki67, and β-catenin expression was assessed using tissue microarray-based immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Women with HGSOC were significantly more likely to have advanced-stage disease (P < 0.001), higher CA125 levels (P < 0.001), postsurgery residual disease (P < 0.01), and higher rates of disease progression and recurrence (P = 0.001). The percentage of women with HGSOC whose tumors expressed Ki67 was significantly higher compared with women with LGSOC (P < 0.001). The expression of BRCA1 and β-catenin did not differ between LGSOC and HGSOC (P = 0.12 and P = 1.00, respectively). The clinicopathological features and the response to platinum-based chemotherapy did not differ according to the BRCA1, Ki67, and β-catenin expression in either group. In HGSOC, only International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage was independently associated with poor survival (PFS and OS). CONCLUSIONS Ki67 expression was significantly higher in HGSOC. BRCA1 and β-catenin expression did not differ between LGSOC and HGSOC samples. BRCA1, Ki67, and β-catenin expression was neither related to clinicopathological features, response to platinum-based chemotherapy, nor survival. Only International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage remained associated with poor survival in women with HGSOC.

Abstract
Mutation or epigenetic silencing of homologous recombination (HR) repair genes is characteristic of a growing proportion of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas. Defects in HR lead to genome instability, allowing cells to acquire the multiple genetic alterations essential for cancer development. However, this deficiency can also be exploited by using DNA damaging agents or by targeting compensatory repair pathways. A noteworthy example is treatment of TNBC and epithelial ovarian cancer harboring BRCA1/2 germline mutations using platinum salts and/or PARP inhibitors. Dramatic responses to PARP inhibitors may support a wider use in the HR-deficient population beyond those with mutated germline BRCA1 and 2. In this review, we discuss HR deficiency hallmarks as predictive biomarkers for platinum salt and PARP inhibitor sensitivity for selecting patients affected by TNBC or epithelial ovarian cancer who could benefit from these therapeutic options.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer is mostly diagnosed at advanced stage. Better survival is achieved through complete debulking surgery and chemotherapy. Historically, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been introduced for unresectable disease to decrease tumor load and perform a unique complete surgery. Four randomized control trials have compared primary debulking surgery to NAC, but there is still controversy about the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and questions about its modalities. Areas covered: We made a review of knowledge on benefits of NAC compared to primary debulking chemotherapy, in terms of survival and morbidity, methods of administration, new drugs in early and late phase trials, the selection of patients. Similar survival was observed after NAC and interval debulking surgery or primary debulking surgery. Morbidity of surgery was decreased after interval debulking compared primary debulking surgery. Conventional drugs are carboplatin and paclitaxel. Safety of bevacizumab was evaluated in phase 2 trials associated with conventional drugs. Immunotherapy trials are enrolling patients in phase 1 study. Expert commentary: NAC followed by debulking surgery is the best treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Objective The role of Dicer in the prognosis of cancer patients remains controversial. This systematic review is attempted to assess the influence of Dicer as a prognostic predictor for survival in diverse types of cancers. Methods Studies were selected as candidates if they published an independent evaluation of Dicer expression level together with the correlation with prognosis in cancers. Random-effect model was applied in this meta-analysis. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed by Q-statistic with P < 0.10 to be statistically significant. Publication bias was investigated using funnel plot and test with Begg's and Egger's test. P < 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Results 24 of 44 articles revealed low Dicer status as a predictor of poor prognosis. The aggregate result of overall survival (OS) indicated that low Dicer expression level resulted in poor clinical outcomes, and subgroup of IHC and RT-PCR method both revealed the same result. Overall analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) showed the same result as OS, and both the two subgroups divided by laboratory method revealed positive results. Subgroup analysis by tumor types showed low dicer levels were associated with poor prognosis in ovarian cancer (HR = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.19-3.15), otorhinolaryngological tumors (HR = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.70-3.36), hematological malignancies (HR = 2.45, 95% CI: 1.69-3.56) and neuroblastoma (HR = 4.03, 95% CI: 1.91-8.50). Conclusion Low Dicer status was associated with poor prognosis in ovarian cancer, otorhinolaryngological tumors and ematological malignancies. More homogeneous studies with high quality are needed to further confirm our conclusion and make Dicer a useful parameter in clinical application.

Abstract
There is no consensus on the syntheses concerning the impact of BRCA mutation on ovarian cancer survival. A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies was conducted that evaluated the impact of BRCA mutations on the survival outcomes of patients with ovarian cancer. The primary outcome measure was overall survival (OS) and secondary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). We presented data with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) and pooled them using the random-effects models. From 2,624 unique records, 34 eligible studies including 18,396 patients were identified. BRCA1/2 mutations demonstrated both OS and PFS benefits in patients with ovarian cancer (OS: HR = 0.67, 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.78, I2 = 76.5%, P <0.001; PFS: HR = 0.62, 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.73, I2 = 18.1%, P = 0.261). For BRCA1 mutation carriers, the HRs for OS and PFS benefits were 0.73 (95% CI, 0.63 to 0.86) and 0.68 (95% CI, 0.52 to 0.89), respectively. For BRCA2 mutation carriers, the HRs for OS and PFS benefits were 0.57 (95% CI, 0.45 to 0.73) and 0.48 (95% CI, 0.30 to 0.75), respectively. The results of subgroup analyses for OS stratified by study quality, tumor stage, study design, sample size, number of research center, duration of follow-up, baseline characteristics adjusted and tumor histology were mostly constant across BRCA1/2, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation subtypes. In summary, for patients with ovarian cancer, BRCA mutations were associated with improved OS and PFS. Further large-scale prospective cohort studies should be conducted to test its benefits in specific patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A meta-analysis was performed to determine if BRCA1/2 mutations are associated with improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with ovarian cancer. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Studies of patients with primary or recurrent ovarian cancer that examined the relationship between BRCA1/2 mutation status and outcomes were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were OS and PFS of patients with and without BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. The secondary outcome was treatment response: complete response, partial response, and overall response. RESULTS Overall analysis revealed BRCA1/2 mutations were associated with improved OS [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.75; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.64, 0.88; P < .001] and PFS (HR = 0.80; 95% CI: 0.64, 0.99; P = .039). BRCA1 mutations were significantly associated with improved OS (HR = 0.75) but not PFS, and BRCA2 mutations alone were not associated with either improved OS or PFS. The presence of BCRA1/2 mutations was associated with a better overall response rate, higher complete response rate, and lower partial response rate; however, BRCA1 or BRCA2 alone was not associated with overall response rate. CONCLUSIONS BRCA1 mutations appear to be associated with improved OS in patients with ovarian cancer. However, the effect of BRCA1 mutations on PFS and BRCA2 mutations alone on OS and PFS is less clear.

Abstract
Importance Cytotoxic CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) participate in immune control of epithelial ovarian cancer; however, little is known about prognostic patterns of CD8+ TILs by histotype and in relation to other clinical factors. Objective To define the prognostic role of CD8+ TILs in epithelial ovarian cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a multicenter observational, prospective survival cohort study of the Ovarian Tumor Tissue Analysis Consortium. More than 5500 patients, including 3196 with high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOCs), were followed prospectively for over 24 650 person-years. Exposures Following immunohistochemical analysis, CD8+ TILs were identified within the epithelial components of tumor islets. Patients were grouped based on the estimated number of CD8+ TILs per high-powered field: negative (none), low (1-2), moderate (3-19), and high (≥20). CD8+ TILs in a subset of patients were also assessed in a quantitative, uncategorized manner, and the functional form of associations with survival was assessed using penalized B-splines. Main Outcomes and Measures Overall survival time. Results The final sample included 5577 women; mean age at diagnosis was 58.4 years (median, 58.2 years). Among the 5 major invasive histotypes, HGSOCs showed the most infiltration. CD8+ TILs in HGSOCs were significantly associated with longer overall survival; median survival was 2.8 years for patients with no CD8+ TILs and 3.0 years, 3.8 years, and 5.1 years for patients with low, moderate, or high levels of CD8+ TILs, respectively (P value for trend = 4.2 × 10−16). A survival benefit was also observed among women with endometrioid and mucinous carcinomas, but not for those with the other histotypes. Among HGSOCs, CD8+ TILs were favorable regardless of extent of residual disease following cytoreduction, known standard treatment, and germline BRCA1 pathogenic mutation, but were not prognostic for BRCA2 mutation carriers. Evaluation of uncategorized CD8+ TIL counts showed a near-log-linear functional form. Conclusions and Relevance This study demonstrates the histotype-specific nature of immune infiltration and provides definitive evidence for a dose-response relationship between CD8+ TILs and HGSOC survival. That the extent of infiltration is prognostic, not merely its presence or absence, suggests that understanding factors that drive infiltration will be the key to unraveling outcome heterogeneity in this cancer.

Abstract
Importance Cytotoxic CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) participate in immune control of epithelial ovarian cancer; however, little is known about prognostic patterns of CD8+ TILs by histotype and in relation to other clinical factors. Objective To define the prognostic role of CD8+ TILs in epithelial ovarian cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a multicenter observational, prospective survival cohort study of the Ovarian Tumor Tissue Analysis Consortium. More than 5500 patients, including 3196 with high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOCs), were followed prospectively for over 24 650 person-years. Exposures Following immunohistochemical analysis, CD8+ TILs were identified within the epithelial components of tumor islets. Patients were grouped based on the estimated number of CD8+ TILs per high-powered field: negative (none), low (1-2), moderate (3-19), and high (≥20). CD8+ TILs in a subset of patients were also assessed in a quantitative, uncategorized manner, and the functional form of associations with survival was assessed using penalized B-splines. Main Outcomes and Measures Overall survival time. Results The final sample included 5577 women; mean age at diagnosis was 58.4 years (median, 58.2 years). Among the 5 major invasive histotypes, HGSOCs showed the most infiltration. CD8+ TILs in HGSOCs were significantly associated with longer overall survival; median survival was 2.8 years for patients with no CD8+ TILs and 3.0 years, 3.8 years, and 5.1 years for patients with low, moderate, or high levels of CD8+ TILs, respectively (P value for trend = 4.2 × 10−16). A survival benefit was also observed among women with endometrioid and mucinous carcinomas, but not for those with the other histotypes. Among HGSOCs, CD8+ TILs were favorable regardless of extent of residual disease following cytoreduction, known standard treatment, and germline BRCA1 pathogenic mutation, but were not prognostic for BRCA2 mutation carriers. Evaluation of uncategorized CD8+ TIL counts showed a near-log-linear functional form. Conclusions and Relevance This study demonstrates the histotype-specific nature of immune infiltration and provides definitive evidence for a dose-response relationship between CD8+ TILs and HGSOC survival. That the extent of infiltration is prognostic, not merely its presence or absence, suggests that understanding factors that drive infiltration will be the key to unraveling outcome heterogeneity in this cancer.

Abstract
Importance Cytotoxic CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) participate in immune control of epithelial ovarian cancer; however, little is known about prognostic patterns of CD8+ TILs by histotype and in relation to other clinical factors. Objective To define the prognostic role of CD8+ TILs in epithelial ovarian cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a multicenter observational, prospective survival cohort study of the Ovarian Tumor Tissue Analysis Consortium. More than 5500 patients, including 3196 with high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOCs), were followed prospectively for over 24 650 person-years. Exposures Following immunohistochemical analysis, CD8+ TILs were identified within the epithelial components of tumor islets. Patients were grouped based on the estimated number of CD8+ TILs per high-powered field: negative (none), low (1-2), moderate (3-19), and high (≥20). CD8+ TILs in a subset of patients were also assessed in a quantitative, uncategorized manner, and the functional form of associations with survival was assessed using penalized B-splines. Main Outcomes and Measures Overall survival time. Results The final sample included 5577 women; mean age at diagnosis was 58.4 years (median, 58.2 years). Among the 5 major invasive histotypes, HGSOCs showed the most infiltration. CD8+ TILs in HGSOCs were significantly associated with longer overall survival; median survival was 2.8 years for patients with no CD8+ TILs and 3.0 years, 3.8 years, and 5.1 years for patients with low, moderate, or high levels of CD8+ TILs, respectively (P value for trend = 4.2 × 10−16). A survival benefit was also observed among women with endometrioid and mucinous carcinomas, but not for those with the other histotypes. Among HGSOCs, CD8+ TILs were favorable regardless of extent of residual disease following cytoreduction, known standard treatment, and germline BRCA1 pathogenic mutation, but were not prognostic for BRCA2 mutation carriers. Evaluation of uncategorized CD8+ TIL counts showed a near-log-linear functional form. Conclusions and Relevance This study demonstrates the histotype-specific nature of immune infiltration and provides definitive evidence for a dose-response relationship between CD8+ TILs and HGSOC survival. That the extent of infiltration is prognostic, not merely its presence or absence, suggests that understanding factors that drive infiltration will be the key to unraveling outcome heterogeneity in this cancer.

Abstract
BRCA genes are important for the integrity and stability of genetic material and play key roles in repairing DNA breaks via high fidelity homologous recombination. BRCA mutations are known to predispose carriers to gynecological malignancies, accounting for a majority of hereditary OC cases. Known to be lethal, OC is difficult to detect and control. Testing for BRCA mutations is a key step in the risk assessment, prognosis, treatment and prevention of OC and current clinical guidelines recommend BRCA mutation testing for all OCs of epithelial origin. Studies have established that ovarian tumors harboring BRCA mutations have distinct molecular and histo-pathological features that can be exploited for effective, targeted treatment. Deficiencies in DNA repair pathways that arise as a result of BRCA mutations make them hypersensitive to DNA-damaging treatments such as platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors. Different combinations of treatment regimens which have the potential to greatly improve prognosis and disease outcomes are currently being evaluated. However, the issue of developing resistance to these treatments remains unresolved. This review emphasizes unique features of BRCA mutated OC and outlines the lay of the land in terms of diagnosis and treatment, while aiming to unravel the challenges that are part of its management.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer causes more than 100,000 deaths globally per year. Despite intensive research efforts, there has been little improvement in the overall survival of patients over the past three decades. Most patients are not diagnosed until the cancer is at an advanced stage, by which time their chances of still being alive after 5 years are appallingly low. Attempts to extend life in these patients have been, for the most part, unsuccessful. This owes partly to the lack of suitable biomarkers for stratifying patients at the molecular level, into responders and non-responders. This would lead to more drugs being shown to have a clinical benefit and being approved for use in subgroups of patients. There is also a desperate need for improved biomarkers for earlier detection of ovarian cancer; if the disease is detected sooner there is a significantly improved outlook. In this review, we outline the evidence that microRNAs are deregulated in ovarian cancer, what this can tell us about tumour progression and how it could be used to improve patient stratification in clinical trials. We also describe the potential for circulating microRNAs, both associated with proteins or carried in vesicles, to be used as diagnostics for earlier detection or as biomarkers for informing clinicians on the prognosis and best treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Ovarian neoplasms secondary to germline BRCA mutations had been described to have a more favourable survival. There is only few data concerning the prognosis of non mutated patients presenting clinical features evocative of BRCA alterations. We retrospectively collected data from patients treated in our institution for an invasive ovarian carcinoma between 1995 and 2011. Patients considered at high risk of BRCA mutation were tested for BRCA1/2 germline mutations. We described clinical, pathological and therapeutic features and compared prognosis of BRCA mutation carriers and non-mutated patients. Out of 617 ovarian cancer patients, we identified 104 patients who were considered at high risk of mutation. The 33 mutated patients were more likely to present a personal (33 vs. 10 %, p = 0.003) or a family (42 vs. 24 %, p = 0.06) history of breast/ovarian cancers. BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and wild type patients displayed similar prognosis: median progression-free survival (PFS) of 20.9 versus 37.7 months (p = 0.21); median overall survival (OS) of 151.2 versus 122.5 months (p = 0.52). Personal history of breast cancer increased both PFS [HR = 0.45 (95CI 0.25-0.81)] and OS [HR = 0.35 (95CI 0.16-0.75)]. In multivariate analysis, this parameter was an independent prognostic feature, whereas the identification of a BRCA1/2 mutation was not. In our cohort, all patients at high risk of BRCA mutation share a similar prognosis, whatever is their germline mutation status. Prognosis seems to be more influenced by clinical history than by germline mutations identification. If it is confirmed in larger and independent series, this result suggests that the hypothesis of other BRCA pathway alterations (BRCAness phenotype) deserves to be deeply explored.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to identify clinicopathological factors in long-term survivors following ovarian cancer recurrence. The patients who achieved longer survival after recurrence (n=18) and those who succumbed to the disease earlier (n=47) were identified and analyzed. There were no significant differences in age, performance status, stage distribution or histology between the two groups. Additionally, no significant difference was observed in progression-free survival after primary therapy. Multivariate analyses revealed that the predictive factors for long-term survival were i) secondary debulking surgery (OR=13.3; 95% CI: 1.39-226.7), ii) favourable response rate of second-line chemotherapy (OR=46.5; 95% CI: 1.84-313-4), and iii) ≥3 regimens after first recurrence (OR=9.01; 95% CI: 1.28-117.7). This study revealed that prolonged post-progression survival was associated with post-recurrence treatment. Therefore, appropriate selection of secondary debulking surgery and better chemotherapeutic response may lead to prolonged post-progression survival in recurrent ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
Approximately a fifth of ovarian carcinoma (OC) is associated with inherited germline mutations, most commonly in the DNA repair genes BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA). BRCA1- and BRCA2-associated OCs have historically been described as a single subgroup of OC that displays a distinct set of characteristics termed the "BRCAness" phenotype. The hallmarks of this phenotype are superior clinical outcome and hypersensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy and poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. However, growing evidence suggests that BRCA1- and BRCA2-associated OCs display distinct characteristics, most notably in long-term patient survival. Furthermore, recent data indicate that the site of BRCA1 mutation is important with regard to platinum and PARP inhibitor sensitivity. Here, we summarize the body of research describing the BRCAness phenotype and highlight the differential implications of different BRCA mutations with regard to clinicopathologic features, therapy sensitivity and clinical outcome in OC.

Abstract
Hereditary epithelial ovarian cancer [EOC] in germline BRCA mutation (gBRCAm) carriers has a distinct clinical behavior characterized by younger age, high- grade serous histology, advanced stage, visceral distribution of disease, high response to platinum and other non-platinum agents and better clinical outcome. Sporadic EOC with homologous recombination deficiency [HDR] but no gBRCAm has the same biological and clinical behavior as EOC in gBRCAm carriers ("BRCAness"phenotype). Biomarkers are in development to enable an accurate definition of molecular features of BRCAness phenotype, and trials are warranted to determine whether such HDR signature will predict sensitivity to PARP inhibitors in sporadic EOC. Moreover, the link between PARP inhibition and angiogenesis suppression, the immunologic properties of EOC in gBRCAm carriers, the HRD induced by PI3K inhibition in EOC cells in vitro strongly support novel clinical trials testing the combination of PARP inhibitors with other biological agents.

Abstract
As cells age and are exposed to genotoxic stress, preservation of the genomic code requires multiple DNA repair pathways to remove single-strand or double-strand breaks. Loss of function somatic genomic aberrations or germline deficiency in genes involved in DNA repair can result in acute cell death or, after a latency period, cellular transformation. Therapeutic exploitation of DNA repair by inhibition of poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]) ribose polymerases (PARP), a family of enzymes involved in the repair of single-strand and in some cases double-strand breaks, has become a novel cancer treatment. Although the application of PARP inhibitors (PARPis) initially focused on tumors with BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficiencies, synthetic susceptibilities to PARPis have been expanded due to the identification of tumors with mutations pathways involved in DNA damage repair, in particular those that repair double-strand breaks using homologous recombination (HR). There is an increasing appreciation that genitourinary (GU) malignancies, including bladder cancer and especially prostate cancer, contain subsets of patients with germline and somatic alterations in HR genes that may reflect an increased response to PARPis. In this review, the authors describe the mechanisms and rationale of the use of PARPis in patients with GU cancers, summarize previously reported preclinical and clinical trials, and identify ongoing trials to determine how PARPis and strategies targeted at HR repair can have widespread application in patients with GU cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reported roles of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) on the prognosis of patients with epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic significance of MMP-2 for patients with EOCs by analyzing 11 studies. METHODS We systematically searched articles in the Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, and Chinese Biological Medical (CBM) Database, updated to February 1st 2015, with the following search terms: ovarian neoplasm OR ovarian tumor OR ovarian carcinoma OR ovarian malignance OR ovarian cancer AND matrix metalloproteinase-2 OR MMP-2. RESULTS A total of 11 studies involving 1058 patients with EOCs were in accordance with the inclusion criteria. The pooled HR was 1.09 (95% CI 0.32-1.86, p = 0.006) in patients with overexpression of stromal MMP-2 with significant heterogeneity (I 2 = 53.1%, p = 0.074) between studies. For patients with MMP-2 overexpression in tumor cells, the pooled HR was 1.42 (95% CI 1.14-1.70, p = 0.000) with no significant heterogeneity (I 2 = 43.4%, p = 0.078) between studies. Sensitivity analyses were stable. CONCLUSIONS MMP-2 overexpression in tumor cells rather than stroma was significantly associated with poor prognosis in patient with endothelial ovarian cancer; however, the result remains to be confirmed with additional high-quality studies.

Abstract
There is no consensus on the syntheses concerning the impact of BRCA mutation on ovarian cancer survival. A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies was conducted that evaluated the impact of BRCA mutations on the survival outcomes of patients with ovarian cancer. The primary outcome measure was overall survival (OS) and secondary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). We presented data with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) and pooled them using the random-effects models. From 2,624 unique records, 34 eligible studies including 18,396 patients were identified. BRCA1/2 mutations demonstrated both OS and PFS benefits in patients with ovarian cancer (OS: HR = 0.67, 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.78, I2 = 76.5%, P <0.001; PFS: HR = 0.62, 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.73, I2 = 18.1%, P = 0.261). For BRCA1 mutation carriers, the HRs for OS and PFS benefits were 0.73 (95% CI, 0.63 to 0.86) and 0.68 (95% CI, 0.52 to 0.89), respectively. For BRCA2 mutation carriers, the HRs for OS and PFS benefits were 0.57 (95% CI, 0.45 to 0.73) and 0.48 (95% CI, 0.30 to 0.75), respectively. The results of subgroup analyses for OS stratified by study quality, tumor stage, study design, sample size, number of research center, duration of follow-up, baseline characteristics adjusted and tumor histology were mostly constant across BRCA1/2, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation subtypes. In summary, for patients with ovarian cancer, BRCA mutations were associated with improved OS and PFS. Further large-scale prospective cohort studies should be conducted to test its benefits in specific patients.
