Cervical Cancer
•

•
•
Most common gyn cancer worldwide
Clinical rather than surgical staging
Correlation of FIGO to TNM is poor
Minor changes to 2009 FIGO staging
– Deletion of Stage 0
– Subdivision of Stage IIA
• IIA1: tumor ≤ 4 cm with involv. < 2/3 upper vag
• IIA2: tumor > 4 cm with involv. <2/3 upper vag

Cervical Cancer
• Poor prognostic factors:
– Positive lymph nodes
– Parametrial involvement
– Positive resection margins
• 1999 NCI Clinical Alert
– Noted results of 5 randomized trials showing
benefit of chemoradiation (cisplatin) over radiation
alone
Cervical Cancer
• Since 1999, few frameshifts in thinking
about cervical cancer therapy
• Ongoing HPV vaccine trials
• Attempts at consolidation therapy
• Trials of targeted agents
• New combinations for advanced or
recurrent disease
Chemotherapy for Advanced or
Recurrent Cervical Cancer
• Combination chemotherapy
– GOG 76X; Cisplatin + paclitaxel, 46% RR (Rose et al, 1999)
– GOG 169; cisplatin + paclitaxel vs cisplatin; improved RR
not OS (Moore et al 2004)
– GOG 179; topotecan + cisplatin; improved OS (Long et al,
2005)
– GOG 204; topotecan, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel
• Interim analysis: so sig benefit; RR, PFS and OS favors
cisplatin + paclitaxel (Monk et al, 2009)
• Favored regimen: cisplatin + paclitaxel
• Role of carboplatin + paclitaxel?

Lacey JV Jr. Absolute risk of endometrial carcinoma during 20-year follow-up among women with
endometrial hyperplasia. J Clin Oncol. 2010 Feb 10;28(5):788-92
If an endometrial biopsy shows complex
atypical hyperplasia, what is the risk that an
underlying endometrial cancer is present?
Concurrent Carcinoma with
Complex Atypical Hyperplasia
GOG 167
• Pre-op diagnosis of CAH on EMB
• 306 patients
• 43% had carcinoma on final pathology
– 16% high grade histologic cell types
• serous, clear cell, undifferentiated
– 30% had myometrial invasion
– 10% stage IC
CL Trimble, Concurrent endometrial carcinoma in women with biopsy of atypical
endometrial hyperplasia: A GOG study, Cancer. 106 (4): 812-819, Feb 2006
Complex atypical hyperplasia
– 48% found to have cancer
– Invasive disease in 27%
• 8% with deeply invasive and/or grade 3
disease
Suh-Burgmann E, et al. Complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia: the risk of unrecognized
adenocarcinoma and value of pre-operative dilation and curettage. Obstet Gynecol 2009;114:523-529.
Surgery for CAH
• At time of surgery, CONSIDER:
– Perform Pelvic Washings
– Intra-op Frozen Section
– Have capability to perform surgical
staging if needed
– Surgical staging (modified or not)

Treatment
• Surgical Staging
– Peritoneal Washings
– Hyst/BSO
– Pelvic and Paraaortic lymph nodes
• Not sampling….lymphadenectomy is required
– Option of minimally invasive surgery
• LS, Robotic
• Adjuvant Therapy
Who to Surgical Stage?
• Without Debate
– Grade ≥ 2 lesions
– Myometrial Invasion > ½
– Cervical extension
– Extra-uterine spread
– Serous, clear-cell, undifferentiated cell
types or squamous
– Enlarged lymph nodes
ACOG Practice Bulletin
• Who to surgically stage?
– Most women should be staged
– Exceptions “include young or
perimenopausal women with grade 1
endometrioid adenocarcinoma associated
with atypical hyperplasia and women at
increased risk of mortality secondary to
comorbidities.”
ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 65. Obstet Gynecol 2005
And Why?
Accuracy of pre-operative sampling
• Pre-operative grade 1 endometrial cancer
– The Ohio State experience
•
•
•
•
Histology upgraded in 19%
18% (32/181) had stage II or greater
Lymphatic metastases in 4%
Extra-uterine disease in 10.5%
Grade 1
– Overall 26% of patients were found to have high risk factors
– MSKCC experience
• Histology upgraded in 15% (+1.2% serous/clear cell)
• 14% (69/490) had stage II or greater
– Overall 18.5% of patients were found to have high risk
factors
– Affects ~ 20-25% of patients

Minimally-invasive staging
• GOG LAP2
– 2616 women with early EMCA
– Randomized to laparoscopy vs laparotomy
– Early endpoints: QoL, complications,
staging
– Later endpoints: PFS, OS
Minimally-invasive staging
• GOG LAP2
– Lpsc conversion rate ~25%
– Lpsc may be safer
• 14% vs 21% mod-severe postop events (P<0.001)
– Lpsc is adequate for staging
• Same rate of detection of advanced disease
– Lpsc has lower pain scores
– Lpsc had shorter hosp stay and faster return to work
– Lpsc had overall improved QoL for first 6 mo

Limitations of Laparoscopy
• 2-D vision
• Counterintuitive
movements
• Limited manipulation
• Few degrees of
freedom
• Steep learning curve

So how to treat high-intermediate risk?
• GOG 249?
Eligible: Stage I-IIA endometrial carcinoma, with high-intermediate risk factors
Stage IIB (occult) endometrial carcinoma (any histology), with or without risk factors, and
Stage I-IIB (occult) serous or clear cell endometrial carcinoma, with or without other risk features
TREATMENT RANDOMIZATION
Regimen I: Pelvic Radiation Therapy (4500/25 fractions-5040 cGY/28 fractions) over 5-6 weeks
Optional Vaginal Cuff Boost ONLY for Stage II patients and Stage I patients with
papillary serous and clear cell carcinomas
OR
Regimen II: Vaginal Cuff Brachytherapy + 3 cycles of chemotherapy consisting of
Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 (3hr) + Carboplatin AUC 6 q 21 days
chemotherapy to start within 3 weeks of initiating brachytherapy

• Most recurrences are systemic, not locoregional
(GOG 122 and GOG 184)
• Best chemotherapy: TAP no better than AP (GOG

• 16% of pts receiving volume-directed RT did not
make it to chemotherapy (GOG 184)
• TAP vs carbo/paclitaxel (GOG 209 – closed)
• Role of RT in combination with chemo
– GOG 258

 Screening
– Pelvic Examination
– Ultrasonography
– CA125 and other (OvaSure) Serum Testing
– Proteomics (OvaCheckTM)
Screening – US and CA 125
“…there is no evidence available yet
that the current screening modalities
of CA 125 and ultrasonography can
be effectively used for widespread
screening to reduce mortality from
ovarian cancer…”

Ovarian Cancer Staging
 Stage I – Confined to the ovaries
 Stage II – Confined to the pelvis
 Stage III – Implants out of the pelvis or

JGOG: Weekly Taxane
• Rationale:
– Duration of exposure is an important determinant of paclitaxel
cytotoxicity
– Preclinical evidence of anti-angiogenic effect
• Results:
– Median PFS longer in dose-dense (28 vs 17 mo)
– 3 yr OS higher in dose dense (HR=0.75, P=0.03)
– Heme and non-heme toxicities similar
• Conclusions:
– PFS and OS improved with dose-dense primary taxane therapy
– GOG has incorporated weekly taxane arms in several trials

GOG 218 Results
 Results:
 Women in Arm 3 (T/C/B + B) had median PFS 14 months
compared to 10 months in Arm 1 (T/C); (HR = 0.72, P<0.0001)
 Women in Arm 2 (T/C/B) did not have significant increase in PFS
compared to Arm 1 (T/C)
 Adverse events consistent with previous trials of bevacizumab
 Criticism:
 Is bevacizumab necessary with primary treatment if Arms 1 and
2 are similar?
 OS data not yet mature

Response to Chemotherapy
 Overall response rate = 75-80%
with chemotherapy
 66% of patients will recur and die
of their advanced ovarian cancer
Treatment Options for
Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
• Chemotherapy
– Cytotoxic
– Empiric versus assay-directed
– Non-cytotoxic (“targeted”) therapy
– High-dose with marrow transplant
• Surgery (2o cytoreduction)
• Immunotherapy
• Radiation therapy
Secondary Cytoreduction
Best Candidates
 Response to 1st line Rx
 DFI > 6-12 months
 Platinum sensitive
 Isolated recurrent disease
 Good performance status
 Further Rx options
 Previous optimal
cytoreduction
Poor Candidates
 Progressive disease
 Platinum resistant
 Short DFI
 Exhausted further Rx
 Poor surgical candidate
 Ascites
 Extensive disease
Treatment-free Interval
Response to Platinum Retreatment

About 50% of recurrences are >6 months
Platinum-Sensitive Recurrence
• Recurrence diagnosed > 6 months from
completion of primary therapy
• Generally retreat with platinum combination
• Evidence for both paclitaxel (ICON4) and
gemcitabine (AGO-OVAR) in combination
with carboplatin
• New evidence for carboplatin-PLD
Platinum-Sensitive Recurrence

To treat or not to treat….
Early vs delayed treatment of
recurrent ovarian cancer
• MRC OV05/EORTC 55955
– 9 European centers
– RCT of 1442 women of EOC in complete remission
– Clinical exam and CA125 q 3 mo
– Pts/investigators blinded to these results
– If CA125 >2X ULN, pt randomized to early treatment (within
28 days) or delayed treatment (not until clinical or
symptomatic relapse)
– 529 women randomized: 265 early, 264 delayed
– Primary endpoint: overall survival
Rustin GJS et al. Lancet 2010;376:1155-1163
Early vs delayed treatment of
recurrent ovarian cancer
• Results
– No difference in overall survival (HR = 0.98)
• Conclusions
– Value of routine CA125 measurement not proven
• Criticism
– Long enrollment (1996-2005)
– Large number of early stage (20%) but overall survival poor (26-27
mo from randomization)
– Contemporary therapy for recurrence not available to many
patients
• Takeaway
– Provocative, but not likely to be uniformly adopted
