OVARIAN TUMOUR - an overview Sachin Maiti  MD,MRCOG,DFFP Research Registrar Wirral Hospital NHS Trust,UK
Epithelial Ovarian Tumour Most common gynaecological Malignancy in developed countries 15/100,000 4000 deaths/year 2/3 present in advanced stage Life time risk of ov ca = 1.5%, dying 1% 90% of ovarian tumours are epithelial origin
Epithelial Ovarian Tumour 90% derived from coelomic epithelium 75-80% serous 10% mucinous 10% endometriod 1% Brenner, undifferentiated, clear cell
Epithelial Ovarian Tumour Age 56 80-90 > 40 years, 30-40% >60 years 1 in 10 of ovarian tumour malignant <40 y 1 in 3 of ovarian tumour malignant >40 y 1% of ovarian tumours <20 y, 2/3 Germ CT 30% of ovarian tumours malignant in postmenopausal women
Epithelial Ovarian Tumour Prevention:- Pregnancy (RR 0.3-0.4) OCP (RR 0.5) 2 Children and OCP (RR 0.3) Oophorectomy
Epithelial Ovarian Tumour SCREENING:- TVS (1 in 10) Doppler US CA125 TVS+CA125 (1 in 4 laparotomy)
Hereditary Ovarian CA 5-10% BRCA1 & BRCA2 HNPCC AD, mutations Risk of ovarian ca 10years earlier  35-40% risk
Impact of BRCA-1
Differential Diagnosis Benign cyst Endometriosis PID Fibroids Pelvic Kidney Retroperitoneal tumours
Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) USS Menopausal status CA125 RMI = UxMxCA125 High index of suspicion = RMI> 200
Investigations History/Examination FBC, LFT, CA125 (CEA) USS/CT Chest X-ray Barium/Gastroscopy (if bowel symptoms) Endometrial sample (PMB)
CA125 Secreted by Mullarian & Coelomic epithelium >30 ku/l in PMW, risk of ov ca 36 fold  >96ku/l in PMW, PPV 96% Stage 1- 50% Stage 2- 60%
Poor prognostic factors High grade Aneuploidy Serous vs Mucinous Lymphatic invasion, Ascitis, positive cyto Clear cell histology Poor performance status Poor biochemical/haematological status
Borderline tumours Low malignant potential Confined to one ovary for long time Good prognosis, 86-90% Age 30-50years Metastatic implants can occur Late recurrence
Aim of Surgery Establish diagnosis Staging Primary Cytoreduction Interval/ Secondary cytoreduction Palliative & salvage surgery Laparoscopy/Aspiration NOT recommended
Treatment Surgery- cytoreduction <1-2cms TAH+BSO+Omental Biopsy+washings Bowel resection if impending obstruction Chemotherapy Stage >1C (>2A)  Carboplatin +Taxol
Survival Stage 1 76-93% Stage 2 60-74% Stage 3A 40% Stage 3B 25% Stage 3C 23% Stage 4 11% Increased grade - decreased survival
Non Epithelial Ovarian Tumour Uncommon, 10% of all ovarian ca Germ Cell Tumours Sex Cord Tumours Metastatic Tumours Rare- Sarcomas, Lipoid cell tumours Tumour markers- AFP, HCG, PALP, LDH
Germ Cell Tumours Arise from primordial germ cell 1/10 as common as testicular tumours Most arise from undifferentiated germ cell in ovary 20-30% of all ovarian neoplasia 3% malignant, rapidly growing <20years, 70% Germ CT, 1/3 malignant
Germ cell tumours Dysgerminomas 30-40% Teratomas (Immature/Mature) Monodermal Endodermal Sinus tumour (YST) Embryonal carcinomas Choriocarcinoma Mixed form
Dysgerminoma Most common GCT 75% -10-30years, 5% <10years 20-30% of tumours in pregnancy 5% abnormal gonads 85% stage 1 10-15% bilateral 95% secrete PALP, LDH, 3% HCG
Dysgerminomas Treatment - Surgery+ Chemotherapy Staging, USO Fertility preservation Stage 1A -surgery alone Stage 1B or higher - surgery+chemo BEP chemo Prognosis- 90-100%,
Immature Teratomas 10-20% of ov tumours in <20years 50% occur 10-20years Malignant transformation- .5-2% in PMW Tumour markers negative Diagnosis- USS/ Histology Surgery- Staging +USO, Chemo - BEP >1A Survival - 70-80%
Endodermal Sinus tumours (Yolk sac tumours) 1/3 present before menarche median age 18years 10% mass 75% pelvic pain Secrete AFP Surgery + chemotherapy in all patients  Response rate 60%
Sex cord-stromal tumours 5-8% of all ovarian malignancy Granulosa-stromal cell tumour Androblastroma Gynandroblastoma ( attached slide) unclassified
Granulosa cell tumour Low grade malignancy 2% Bilateral Reproductive age, 5% prepubertal 25-50% endometrial hyperplasia 5% endometrial carcinoma 10% ascitis Mostly stage 1
GCT Recurrence 5-30years Haematogenous spread Secrete Inhibin Treatment-Surgery- USO/TAHBSO Chemotherapy no benefit recurrence BEP 90% 10 year survival, 75% 20 year survival
Sertoli-Leydig Tumour 3-4 decade 75% <40 years Low grade malignancy Produce androgens 70-85% - clinical virilization Surgery - USO/TAH+BSO, No chemo Survival 70-90%
Metastatic Tumours 5-6% of ovarian tumours Breast, GIT Tubal 13% Endometrial 5% Breast 24% Krukenburg 30-40% of metastatic ov ca (primary- stomach, colon, breast, biliary T)
