Gyn Onc Flashcards
Management of early stage cervical cancer in general
- Early stage cervical cancer.
Upfront surgery (cervical conization vs. modified radical vs. radial hysterectomy depending on stage) - ***Adjuvant chemoradiation if path indicates intermediate or high-risk of recurrence
Surgical management of stage I cervical cancer
IF IA1, conization w/ no further management if margins negative
IF IA2,
modified radical hysterectomy (removal of uterus, cervix, upper ¼ of vagina, and paramteria)
simple hysterectomy w/ lymphadenectomy (can get away with simple hysterectomy)
IF IB1, radical hysterectomy w/ lymphadenectomy
IF IB2, radical hysterectomy
First line for MMR deficient advanced endometrial
carbo/taxol/durvalumab w/ maintenance durvalumab until progression (DUO-E - PFS HR 0.42 in dMMR, OS immature)
*or dostarlimab w/ maintenace dostarlimab
Size threshold for surgery vs. CRT
4 cm (greater than 4 cm requires CRT)
CRT for cervical
weekly cisplatin w/ EBRT + brachytherapy
Indications for adjuvant chemoradiation in localized cervical
- positive margins
- node positive
- parametrial invasion
Metastatic cervical mgmt
IF PD-L1 positive, platinum/carboplatin + paclitaxel + pembro +/- avastin
IF PD-l1 negative, platinum/taxol and bev
endometrial cancer presentation
- pelvic pain
- change in bowel habits
*vaginal bleeding - discharge
endometrial cancer RF’s
- obesity
- HRT
- tamoxifen
- older age
- infertility
*endometrial hyperplasia
*PCOS
Management of complex atypical hyperplasia
hysterectomy
Lynch recommended endometrial cancer screening
- transvaginal US annually starting at age 30
*Risk reducing hysterectomy with BSO at 35 or after completing childbearing
endometroid significance with endometrial
- bread and butter, more common endometrial cancer
- nonendometroid is higher risk
Uterine serous cancer significance
- aggressive, “serious”
Stage 1A endometrial management in woman wishing to preserve fertility
- IF G1-2, hormone therapy with medrestol (oral progestin) can be used to preserve fertility
Stage II endometrial mgmt
upfront surgery / adjuvant full pelvic EBRT
Stage III-IV endometrial mgmt
- upfront surgery
- adjuvant chemo
*CRT also an option followed by chemo for Stage III
clear cell significance in endometrial
- aggressively behaving, requires systemic therapy
serous HER2+ endometrial cancer mgmt
- add herceptin to carbo/taxol
recurrent metastatic endometrial mgmt
IF treatment free interval of >6 months, retreat with carbo/taxol
Systemic therapy for uterine carcinosarcoma
ifosfamide or platinum-based therapy or taxol
low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma mgmt
- hormonal therapy medregstrol
leiomyosarcoma mgmt
surgery if resectable
stage IB cervical cancer mgmt
surgery with adjuvant brachytherapy (not full pelvic EBRT)
ovarian cancer presentation
- bloating
- pelvic or abdominal pain
- early satiety
- urinary symptoms
ovarian cancer RF’s
- obesity
- ## estrogen exposure (later pregnancy after age 35)
When germline BRCA testing is indicated in ovarian
All high grade ovarian
Ovarian cancer biomarker
CA-125
Stage I ovarian cancer mgmt
IF wishing to preserve fertility, salpingo-oophorectomy
general management of ovarian
upfront cytoreductive surgery w/ salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy w/ adjuvant chemo
management of ovarian in nonsurgical patient
upfront systemic therapy
When adjuvant chemo is indicated in ovarian
1) Stage IC or higher (positive ascites or peritoneal washings)
2) G3
3) clear cell histology
