GYN ONC Flashcards
risk of vulvar SCC with untreated lichen sclerosus
2-5%
Fertility sparing management options for EIN
Need to have bx proven by hsc dc
LVNG 52 mg IUD
megace 40-200 mg/day
Provera 10-20 mg/day or cycline 12-14d/month
depo 150 mg IM every 3 months
vaginal progesterone 100-200 mg/day or cyclin 12-14d/month
serial EMB q3-6 months x2 years
Regression 80-90%
50% will have recurrence once medical therapy is stopped
risk of progression to cancer is 8% per year
Uterine CA staging
Stage 1A: <1/2 myometrium
Stage 1B : >1/2 myometrium
Stage II: cervical stromal involvement
Stage IIIa: uterine serosal or adnexal involvement
stage IIIB: vaginal or parametrial involvement
Stage IIIC: positive nodes; IIIC1: pelvic nodes; IIIC2: para aortic nodes
stage IVa: bladder and/or bowel mucosa
stage IVb: distant mets
what is comprehensive staging for uterine CA
remove uterus, adnexa (BSO), pelvic/para aortic nodes, pelvic washings
minimally invasive approach is standard
Chance of nodal spread that varies with stage and grade
3-5% with well differentiated, superficial disease
20% with poorly differentiated deeply invasive disease
When to do nodal dissection and peritoneal cytologies
at the time of hyst for preop dx of EIN
All cases of endometrial cancer
Especially when:
1) grade 2 or 3
2) more than 50% myometrial invasion
3) papillary serous or clear cell histology
4) tumors with lymphovascular space invasion
who can you medically manage endometrial cancer for
1) well differentiated grade 1 endometriod adeno verified by hsc d&c
2) no myometrial invasion
3) no extrauterine involvement
4) premenopausal
have to have consult with gyn onc
Surveillance after surgery after endometrial CA
H&P
pelvic, vaginal, rectal exam every 3-6 months x2 years, then every 6 mo for 3 years, then annually
no vaginal or pap smears
No annual CXR
CT/PET scan of chest, abdomen, pelvis should be used if concerned about recurrence
Tamoxifen use and endometrial CA
premenopausal women not known increased risk of uterine cancer with tamoxifen use, do not require additional monitoring beyond routine gyn care
associated with endometrial proliferation, hyperplasia, polyp formation, invasive carcinoma, or uterine sarcoma
borderline tumor staging procedure
hysterectomy, BSO, pelvic washings, omentectomy, diaphragm stripping, remove any visible disease
if you remove cyst and final pathology shows borderline, then you should consult gyn onc regarding possible reoperation to remove affected adnexa with possible staging vs surveillance
relapse rates of borderline with fertility sparing surgery
15% with unilateral oophorectomy
30% with unilateral cystectomy
Relapse is typically borderline not malignant
management of AGC (Atypical glandular cells)
Everyone gets colposcopy and ECC
endometrial sampling if : 35 and older, younger than 35 with risk factors for EIN/endometrial CA (obesity, chronic anovulation)
Colpo results for AGC/AIS
1) AIS or AGC/favor neoplasia
2) CIN2-3
3) <CIN2, no AIS
4) negative workup
1) CKC, ECC
2) manage via general guidelines - ckc preferred
3) co testing annually for 3 years
4) cytology and HPV in 12 and 24 months, then repeat co test in 3 yrs
if CKC and neg margins, fu in 12 and 24 months with cytology and HPV
if pos margins, hyst or repeat CKC (wants kids)
raloxifene and ospemifene and uterine cancer
raloxifene: not indicated in premenopausal women, does not increase risk of uterine cancer or bleeding
ospemifene: no increased risk at 52w of use, used for dyspareunia
Low risk vs high risk for radiation or now
Low risk:
grade 1/2, <50% myometrial invasion, <2 cm
High risk:
grade 2/3, outer 1/3 myometrial invasion (>50%), LVSI
if >70, radis if 1 RF, if 50+, 2 RF, all ages with all three
VAginal brachytherapy > whole pelvic radiation
what chemo regimen for endometrial CA
paclitaxel and carboplatin
Lynch syndrome genes
AD, defects in mismatch repair system
MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, EPCAM, PMS2
results in microsatellite instability
which cancers does lynch syndrome put you at risk for
Colon- 18-61%
Endometrial - 16-61%
Ovarian 5-10%
also gastric, small bowel, hepatobiliary, renal, ureter
colon cancer screening with lynch syndrome
colonoscopy q1-2 years at 20-25 yo, or 2-5 years before earliest diagnosis in family. Whichever is first
endometrial cancer screening with lynch syndrome
EMB every 1-2 years, beginning at 30-35yo (or 10 years before earliest lynch associated CA)
monitor for signs of AUB
consider hyst/bso when in mid 40s or done with childbearing
chemoprevention for colorectal CA for lynch
600 mg ASA daily x2 years decreases colorectal CA
BRCA 1 and BRCA2
associated cancers
inheritance
AD. Tumor suppression genes that encode proteins that function on DNA repair
BRCA1 or BRCA2: breast cancer 45-85%
BRCA1: ovarian cancer 39-46%
BRCA2: ovarian cancer 10-27%
Ovarian cancer is usually high grade serous or endometrioid
Breast cancer screening for BRCA carriers
25-29: clinical breast exam q6-12 mo, annual MRI with contrast
30+: annual mammogram and MRI, alternating every 6 months
ovarian CA screening for BRCA
TVUS or CA125 may be reasonable for short term surveillance at 30-35 yo until risk reducing surgery
other associated Cancers with BRCA1/2
Brca1: high grade histology for endometrial cancer
Brca2: pancreatic, melanoma, prostate
BRCA1 vs BRCA2
BRCA2: more associated with hormonal positive breast cancer. Tamoxifen more likely to reduce risk of in breast cancer. Onset of ovarian cancer also later
