Questions discussed in this category



Does your surgical approach vary based on patient age, comorbidities, or tumor type?

Since there is no overlap between chemo regimens for these cancers, how would you sequence treatment? 

If you do not review all imaging, how do you triage for which studies you personally review the images vs. the written interpretation only?

Given the crossover that occurred in the various clinical trials and the potential for prolonged disease duration, how do you integrate OS, PFS, treat...

In your practice, what is the proportion of patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy who are diagnosed with VTE? Does this differ from patients rec...

Would your systemic therapy choice be more similar to treatment of ovarian carcinoma or soft tissue sarcoma?

How does your approach vary based on residual disease left at the time of surgery? Please specify your approach for the amount of residual disease at ...

Do you prophylactically start all patients on B12, B-complex, and/or omega-3? If so, what dose? What about ice mittens and booties?

Most interested in patient cohorts who have not demonstrated a good response to chemotherapy as measured by imaging and/or clinical/serological findin...

Presented with 8cm pelvic mass and had large omental cake + significant carcinomatosis on diagnostic lap. Biopsy ultimately resulted non-epithelial ov...

Genes such as ATM, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51C/D, BRIP1 seem to show some potential increased risk of ovarian cancer. Should these patients under prophylacti...

For a young patient that underwent fertility sparing surgery for immature teratoma of the ovary, would you treat until tumor markers normalize even if...

Is there any role for completion surgery and/or RT in addition to chemotherapy? 12cm mass on ovary s/p TH/USO and preservation of grossly normal cont...

Excellent KPS and long disease free interval from initial diagnosis. Initial recurrence 3-4cm at level of renal vessels and down to 1.3cm after chemo.

s/p optimal debulking. If this was an early-stage cancer would it change your adjuvant therapy recommendations?

Recurrence picked up incidentally on CT. No germ line mutations, somatic tumor testing of node resulted negative. PET confirmed isolated recurrence

Does your practice vary based on risk status (low vs high risk) or specific mutation status (BRCA+ vs HRD+) given PAOLA subset analyses? 

What specific platforms for determining somatic BRCA and HRD status do you use for a patient who does not carry a germline BRCA mutation?

Is MDS/AML risk increased with longer duration of therapy? Does your approach differ for patients who are BRCA+/HRD vs wild type/HRP?

Primary R0 debulking in 2018 followed by Carbo/Tax for 6 cycles, and single agent Bevacizumab followed by Letrozole, now again with NGR

Given recent approval of niraparib (Zejula) for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or prima...

Does your strategy differ if the patient is on maintenance PARP inhibitor, bevacizumab, both, or neither? 

Would you change your approach based on platinum sensitivity or other factors?

EP vs C/T? Would you perform additional imaging, ie. PET Dotatate to evaluate for metastatic disease?

 Specifically, if they are to be treated similar to GI cancers that receive FOLFOX/EPIC

Would you approach this situation as synchronous primaries (eg. FIGO IA in both) or as a locally advanced endometrial cancer (FIGO IIIA)? What adjuva...

For example, would you consider adjuvant chemotherapy alone to be sufficient in a patient with an isolated pelvic recurrence and positive margin after...
