Ovarian cancer front line

 Three main considerations:

1. Surgery upfront or NACT followed by interval surgery

2. Choice of front-line chemo

3. Molecularly targeted therapy: HRD, BRCA


Primary surgery depends on patient's clinical condition and the possibility of complete cytoreduction.

If NACT 3 cycles chemo--> surgery--> 3 cycles chemo


Choice of chemo

Standard: carbo taxol 3 week. Total 6 cycles

Molecular therapy:

Bevacizumab: improves PFS

The biggest change has been in BRCA improves OS as maintenance. 

In the maintenance setting:

BRCA mutated: niraparib ( PRIMA), Olaparib with or without avastin

BRCA WT but HRD: Niraparib, olaparib

BRCA WT, HRD p: niraparib, avastin
