When ovarian cancer returns, it's not uncommon to experience a range of emotions and feel overwhelmed. But it's important to remember that recurrent ovarian cancer can often be successfully treated. Dr. Shannon N. Westin, gynecologic oncologist and clinical investigator at MD Anderson Cancer Center, goes over the latest treatment options for recurrent disease.

6. Considerations After Progression
• Treatment free interval
• Residual toxicity from prior therapy
• Volume of disease at the time of relapse
• Serologic relapse (Ca-125)
• Quality of life
• Patient goals
7. Platinum-Free Interval and Efficacy:
Shorter Interval, Lower Response
Platinum-Free Interval Response Rate
5-12 months 27%
13-24 months 33%

8. • Platinum-free interval is no longer the only factor to
consider when selecting therapy
• The historical definition of using platinum-free
interval (PFI) to categorize patients as having
platinum-sensitive or resistant disease is now
replaced by therapy-free interval (TFI)
– Patients for whom platinum is an option
• formerly platinum-sensitive
– Patients for whom platinum is not an option
• formerly platinum-resistant
Platinum-Free Interval and Efficacy:
Shorter Interval, Lower Response

• Treatment free interval is essential in guiding
therapy choice in recurrent ovarian cancer
• Novel targeted therapies such as PARP
inhibitors and ADCs are demonstrating
exciting results
• Immunotherapy is still a work in progress…
• Assessment of rational combinations will be
essential to continue to improve outcomes
