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

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...

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

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?

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...

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...
