Dr.Gilks declares no conflict(s) of interest Molecular basis of HBOC Mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 account for most cases; result in abnormalities in homologous recombination Other genes may also be mutated: BRIP1, RAD51C, RAD51D, PALB2, BARD1, TP53 etc. Risk of Gyne Ca in HBOC Ovarian ca risk approximately 35-45% for BRCA1 and 13-23% for BRCA2, by age 70 Endometrial Ca risk? (apparently not) 1
Ovarian Cancers in BRCA Mutation Carriers CONSISTENT: Epithelial carcinomas, more likely to be advanced stage, and high grade (grade 1 rarely reported). NOT borderline or mucinous VARIABLE: usually serous but proportion of endometrioid and clear cell, while low, varies CIMBA Study Data from ~6900 BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers Ovarian ca morphology same for BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers More than 1000 ovarian carcinomas: 67% serous Mavaddat N et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2012;21:134-47. CIMBA Study (con) Mucinous 1% Clear cell 1% Endometrioid 12% Other 19% Risch et al, Am J Hum Genet 2001;68:700 93% serous Shaw et al, Int J Gynecol Pathol 2002;21:407 100% serous Why this difference? 2
Careful study of ovarian tumors often reveals two or even three or more cell types. Sternberg s Textbook of Pathology (2007) clear cell HG serous mucinous Implications of mixed carcinomas being common ovarian carcinoma subtypes are closely related differences between subtypes are unlikely to be relevant in 2007 ovarian carcinoma subtypes are not reproducibly diagnosable by pathologists 3
Implications of lack of reproducibility patients given different diagnoses in different centers results of studies on natural history provide conflicting results (e.g. clear cell carcinoma in NA/Europe vs Asia) impossible to move forward with good studies on molecular pathology or clinical trials of new treatments in 2016 What has changed? Review of 871 cases of ovarian carcinoma with classification by current criteria: 1. 1.7% mixed 2. 41% of mixed carcinomas showed uniform immunophenotype throughout 3.Mixed ECa + CCC/ECa + LGSC accounted for most cases Mixed carcinomas of the ovary are rare, with the exception of the endometriosis-associated subtypes 4
Evolution of ovariancarcinomadiagnosis Table 1 HG serous clear cell mucinous Histotype diagnosis agreement between 2002 and 2014 (pathologist A): 52% Histotype diagnosis agreement between pathologist A and B (2014): 98% It is now possible for pathologists to routinely subclassify ovarian carcinomas into a small number of reproducible, clinically relevant groups 5
Germline BRCA mutations are seen in > 20% of HGS cancers Ovarian cancer histotypes Serous high grade Serous low grade Clear cell Endometrioid Mucinous 131 EOC cases 103 HGS cases 26 BRCA1/2 germline mutation carriers 5 12 9 Summary of Results 26/103 (25%) high grade serous carcinomas had germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations Results from Australian Ovarian Cancer Study Group 1001 patients with non-mucinous ovarian ca 14.1% of patients had germline BRCA1/2 mutations 16.6% of patients with serous ca had germline BRCA mutations 22.6% of patients with high-grade serous ca had germline mutations 6
Current BC recommendation High-grade serous carcinoma of re. HBOCS ovary/fallopian tube/peritoneum is associated with a BRCA1/2 mutation in over 20% of patients. We recommend that this patient be referred to the BCCA Hereditary Cancer Program. Prognosis of HGSC in patients with HBOC syndrome: 10 year overall survival 30% for non-carriers 25% for BRCA1 mutation carriers 35% for BRCA2 mutation carriers Candido-dos-Reis FJ et al. Clin Cancer Res 2015;21:652-7 Prevention Strategies HBOCS: RRBSO reduces deaths due to ovarian cancer by 80% (!?!) Case 1 Clinical History 33 year old, 10 cm complex pelvic mass, CA125 = 120 ku/l (norm 35) Laparotomy: left ovarian mass, 1 liter of bloody ascites, 3 cm nodule on right pelvic sidewall Frozen section diagnosis: granulosa cell tumor 7

Differential Diagnosis High-grade serous carcinoma (WT1 -) Grade 3 endometrioid carcinoma De-differentiated carcinoma/undifferentiated carcinoma (ER +, too cohesive/epithelial) Metastatic carcinoma (strong ER +, clinical) Less likely small cell carcinoma of hypercalcemic type (SMARCA4 +), malignant sex cord-stomal tumor (inhibin and FOXL2 -) 9
Immunohistochemistry 97% of HGSC are WT1 positive and 94% of HGSC are TP53 abnormal by IHC 10% of EC are WT1 positive and 14% are TP53 abnormal by IHC TP53 normal/wildtype TP53 abnormal/abe rrant/mutatio n-type WT1-286 EC (94%) 20 HGSC (6%) 48 EC (50%) 49 HGSC (50%) WT1+ 31 EC (27%) 84 HGSC (73%) 6 EC (0.5%) 1273 HGSC (99.5%) Final Diagnosis Grade 3 endometrioid carcinoma of the left ovary, with metastasis to left pelvic sidewall, cul-de-sac, and right pelvic sidewall Left fallopian tube, bladder peritoneum and omentum negative for malignancy Endometriosis in biopsy from right pelvic sidewall Abnormal MMR PMS2 deleted Case 2 86 year old with PMB Endometrial Bx: grade 3 carcinoma TAHBSO performed 10

Differential Diagnosis Primary fallopian tube ca metastatic to endometrium Primary endometrial ca metastatic to fallopian tube Independent primary tumors 60 cases of USC with fallopian tubes submitted in toto Fallopian tube mucosal involvement in 16 (27%) Bilateral tubal involvement in 9 of 16 (56%) 12
Final Diagnosis Serous carcinoma of endometrium with secondary involvement of mucosa of right fallopian tube, cervix (with invasion of cervical stroma), deep myometrial invasion, and extensive lymphvascular invasion Conclusions Accurate diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma histotype can allow for histotype specific referral of patients to the hereditary cancer program; patients with HGSC should be offered testing for HBOC Not all high grade tubo ovarian carcinomas are HGSC (but most are!) Fallopian tube mucosal involvement can be secondary/unrelated to HBOC 13
