3 Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC): Objectives 1. Review the changing prevalence of HBOC syndromes 2. Emphasize the importance of history taking in familial cancer syndromes 1. Identify and select appropriate genetic counseling/testing/companion diagnostics to evaluate germline and somatic mutations of such patients 1. Present available data on lifetime risk of various mutations in various cancers 1. Summarize the current recommendations for risk reducing interventions 1. Take home message

4 HBOC: Facts The hallmarks of hereditary cancer syndromes: 1. Multiple affected family members 2. Early age of onset 3. Multiple and/or bilateral primary cancers Multiple syndromes associated with increase risks 1. Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System, Ohio Department of Health, Anderson MR et al.

28 BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations: 1. AD, highly penetrant, germline mutations on chromosomes 13, and 17 Lifetime risk varies among different populations: 1. Penetrance 2. Risk modifiers Different types of cancer and age of onset depending on: 1. gene gene interactions: Position of the mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene Genetic variation in other genes 2. gene environment interactions: Age/Hormonal or reproductive factors/lifestyle factors The prevalence in the general population of European ancestry is ~ 0.25 % Increased prevalence in individuals of Norwegian, Dutch, and Icelandic ancestry Founder effect : The prevalence varies among ethnic groups and geographic area

29 Ovarian Cancer: Risk Factors Relative Risk Lifetime Probability No risk factors % (~ 1/72) Familial ovarian cancer 30 to 50% 2 or 3 relatives with ovarian cancer % (15% if 1 ) 1 relative with ovarian cancer % (5% if 1 ) Infertility 2.8 Nulligravity 1.6 HRT 1.27 Past pregnancy % Tubal ligation 0.59 Past oral contraceptive use % Past breast feeding 0.81

34 HBOCS: Genetic Testing Debate Changing Landscape Understanding of genetic predisposition for cancers is changing : from individual genes and syndromes to multiplex testing for a number of cancer susceptibility genes Expression profiling/ IHC Evolving use of BRCA1/2 testing vs. panel tests with expanded number of genes Such multiplex panels can be chosen based upon: Particular cancer patterns in families Ethnicity: Norwegian, Dutch, Icelandic, French Canadians, Hispanic, etc. Multiple genomic platforms Sequencing Clinical correlations is not always validated/ Could be used to identify appropriate clinical trials 1. Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System, Ohio Department of Health, Anderson MR et al. Cancer 2008;113: Myers ER et al. Evidence Report Technology Assessment 2006 full report Cancer Research UK. year

35 HBOCS: Genetic Testing Debate Changing Landscape Single gene testing Traditional Sanger Multigene panel Massive parallel sequencing Sequencing approach High throughput Low throughput Lower cost for multiple genes High cost for multiple genes Misses structural rearrangements Better assessment of rearrangements Large number of VUS VUS, variants of uncertain significance

36 HBOCS: Genetic testing Things to consider 1. Increase in complexity of testing technology 1. Uncertainty in the interpretation of the results 2. Range of potentially identifiable cancer risk 3. Need for evaluating the likelihood of of a hereditary cancer syndrome Choosing the appropriate test/panel, and interpreting the result, all clearly argue that the first step in patient assessment should be genetic counseling 1.

38 Ovarian cancer STIC in BRCA mutated and non mutated patients ~ 60% of patients with BRCA mutation undergoing RR-BSO had HG STIC Although STIC is capable of metastasizing (i.e. cannot be considered CIS), compelling evidence for a tubal origin of BRCA+ HGSC has accumulated over the past decade [2,3] HG STIC is not only reported in BRCA+ pats but also in: 1. Advanced-stage sporadic HGSCs associated with ovarian tumor masses 2. Rare cases of 1ry tubal or peritoneal HGSCs without obvious ovarian involvement 1. Piek JM, et al. J Pathol 2001;195(4): Callahan MJ, et al. J Clin Oncol 2007;25(25): Kindelberger DW, et al. Am J Surg Pathol 2007;31(2):161 9.

39 Early tumor progression within the fallopian tube and the resultant genetic profile of HG SOC.

40 Risk reducing interventions/procedures Procedure Risk Reduction of ovarian cancer Salpingo oophorectomy 71 96% Tubal ligation 18% Salpingectomy 70% Cortesi, L., A. Toss, and E. De Matteis. "Preventive Strategies for Ovarian Cancer." (2013), Rice, Megan S. et al, International Journal of Cancer(2013), Aderson et al. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2013

41 Take Home Messages Consider taking a comprehensive personal and family history Consider using a risk model to estimate the cancer risk (e.g. Claus model) Consider a medical oncology genetic counseling when it looks too complicated Consider testing when risk estimates are appropriate Discuss risk reducing surgeries Discuss implications on the patient herself and her family members

42 Conclusions 1. The science is rapidly developing: we are too slow 2. We all have to keep up

47 Do Salpingectomy.. Avoid Debulking?! Mohamad Kanso MED III

48 Serous epithelial cancer of the Ovary Most serious gynecological cancer Too late Diagnosis almost always 2013 The Clearity Foundation. All Rights R Pathogenesis is still unclear due to the lack of clearly identified carcinogenic sequence

49 New Studies Ovarian Cancer and Origins in the Fallopian Tubes, Linda Perrett, 20 Fallopian Tube Probable starting point for most serous ovarian

50 Two theories about EOC origin

51 1. Ovulation Theory:

52 Ovulation Scarring Deep Epithelial Invaginations Inclusion Cysts Mullerian Metaplasia Malignant transformation Due to stromal hormones and pro inflammatory cells

53 Epidemiological and Experimental arguments supporting this theory:

54 Protective Role of Oral Contraception Pregnancy Breast Feeding

55 Ovulation for > 35 years significantly higher RR of ovarian cancer

56 Forced to High ovulate prevale nce of Ovarian carcino ma Exponential relationship Number of between: ovulations & Malignant transformation

57 However As ovulation is a natural and physiological process Incriminating ovulation in the carcinogenesis of ovarian cancer Remains surprising, despite the facts described earlier.

58 Shifting the paradigm

59 2. Tubal Origin Theory

60 There is Convincing evidence that the distal Fallopian may be the commonest site of origin for HGSOC Herrington et al. The Journal of pathology (2010)

61 So the Tubal Theory is

62 Dysplastic tubal abnormalities TP53 mutations Genotoxic stress on secretory cells STIC (Serous Tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma) Clonal expansion Progressive loss of control of cell control cycle Extension by anatomical proximity to ovary by endosalpingiosis

63 Supporting the tubal theory 1) Malignant tumors: found in the oviduct Fathalla Experimental data 2) STICs in prophylactic salpingo oophorectomies in BRCA patients Quick, Charles M., et al Modern Pathology (2011)

64 3) Overexpression of RSF 1, Cyclin E, p16, FASN and Stathmin 1 in both HGSOC and STICs 2011 Karst AM, Levanon K, Duraisamy S, et al. Gynecologic Oncology

65 4) STICs present in 61% in a series of HGSC of ovarian origin Przybycin et al. American Journal of Surgical Pathology (2010)

66 5)Other series of sporadic serous ovarian cancer were analyzed: STICs: 30 50%

67 6) Ovarian and Fallopian mucosal Carcinoma Shows similar copy number changes (FISH analysis) Possible Monoclonal Origin

68 Still Research could not yet confirm that the tube is the origin of Ovarian cancer

69 But what really matters is How could we reduce the risk of EOC?

70 Sudden decrease In estrogen PREMATURE MENOPAUSE night sweats, sleep disturbance, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, and loss of sex drive.

71 2 Tubal Ligation? Risk reduction: 18% Strongest effects: in endometrioid tumors women who underwent the procedure after the last childbirth Rice, Megan S. et al, International Journal of Cancer(2013)

72 3 Salpingectomy? Estimated risk reduction: 70 % BS: greater protection than ligation Completely eliminating communication between the uterus and ovary Prevent ascending cancer cells or carcinogens Aderson et al. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2013

73 Bilateral Salpingectomy + TLH : Preservation of Ovarian function No perioperative complication May be used as a method for sterilization Morelli, Michele, et al. Gynecologic oncology(2013).

74 Conclusion The idea of tubal origin is still growing Clinicians and scientists prepared to take action But.. how to proceed? Trial may not be feasible An International prospective observational study might be the only hope
