    An Introduction to Ovarian Cancer

    Before 2016 the prognosis for patients with ovarian cancer was poor, and treatment options were limited. However, the introduction of bevacizumab followed by PARP inhibitors transformed outcomes in patients with BRCA1/2 mutation. Anti-angiogenic agents, immuno-oncology agents, combinations of these agents and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy are currently being investigated and show promise for the future.

    Expert video highlights and insights from the conference hub and comprehensive peer-reviewed articles from our journal portfolio provide updates on the ever-changing landscape.

    Maintenance Treatment for Recurrent Ovarian Carcinoma – Evidence Supporting the Efficacy and Safety of PARP Inhibitors
    Robert L Coleman, Jonathan A Ledermann

    European Oncology & Haematology. 2019;15(1):29–40 DOI: https://doi.org/10.17925/EOH.2019.15.1.29

    Worldwide, ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer and the eighth most common cause of cancer death in women.1 The GLOBOCAN study estimated there were 239,000 new cases in 2012 and 152,000 deaths due to this disease. There are nearly 600,000 women living within 5 years of an ovarian cancer diagnosis.1 In the EU, age-adjusted ovarian […]

    Gynecological malignancies can be difficult to treat. Ovarian cancer carries with it the worst prognosis of all gynecological cancers. Approximately 75% of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced disease which is curable only in a minority of cases, resulting in a 5-year overall survival rate of only 20–30%. However, survival at all […]
