1 Esteemed Physician Humanitarian Distinguished Citizen Disclosure Ovarian Cancer The State of Ovarian Care in the US Why aren t we making more progress? Dr. Goff has indicated that she has no relevant financial relationships to disclose and that her discussion will not include mention of investigational or off-label usage. No other individuals in control of CME content have relevant financial relationships. Barbara Goff, MD Director, Gynecologic Oncology University of Washington 3 4 Educational Objectives Upon completion of this lecture, participants should be better able to: Discuss the current best practices for management of ovarian cancer. Identify barriers to appropriate care for patients in the United States. Explore possible solutions to overcome barriers to care.

5 Patterns of Care in the US Ovarian Cancer Treatment Across the US Overall, 67% of women had comprehensive surgery Significantly lower rates in vulnerable populations (non-caucasian, elderly, low socioeconomic status, rural areas) Factors independently associated with comprehensive surgery: Surgeon specialty (76% vs 37% vs 38%) Surgical volume Hospital volume Urban hospital location Early stage disease (only 40% adequately staged) Ovarian Cancer Surgery Across the US 25% of women with ovarian cancer have surgery by a surgeon who performs only 1 case/year 33% are treated in a low volume hospital (only 1 9 cases/year) In low volume settings, ~50% of women receive the correct surgery Trends in Advanced EOC in Medicare Population Methods SEER Medicare Database ( ) 8,211 women age 65+ with Stage III/IV ovarian cancer Results 58.8% primary debulking 75.8% chemo 24.6% primary chemo 32.2% surgery 16.6% no chemo or surgery Only 39.1% had surgery and 6 cycles of chemo 30 Thrall MM et al.

9 Conclusions A significant percentage of women with ovarian cancer in the US are not treated with basic guideline therapy Implementing process and outcome measures, with reporting and comparison between institutions, is needed To improve the quality of ovarian cancer care in the US, we need to make significant changes in how cancer care is delivered 53 Questions and Discussion THANK YOU! 54 9
