OvarianCancer
Ovariancancerisa diverseset of cancers that include germ celltumors, sex-cord stromal tumors, epithelial tumors, and other rarer types. In adult women, about 90% of ovarian tumors are epithelial, including: serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell and, undifferentiated. Epithelial tumors may be further subdivided by grade with tumors of borderlinemalignancy orlow malignantpotential beinganimportantsubset.These tumors areusuallynotcountedinnationalstatisticsonovariancancerbutareofteninepidemiologic studies.Ifincluded,borderlinetumorsshouldbeevaluatedseparately.
Invasiveserousisthemostcommontypeofovariancancerandusuallypresentsasahigh­grade tumor. With the recent observation that some (if not the majority) of high-grade serousovariancancersmay arisefromthefimbriated endofthe fallopiantube,some pathologistshaveproposedaTypeI/IIanalogysimilartoendometrialcancer(7174).TypeI
cancers are those arising within the ovary and include low-grade serous, mucinous, endometrioid,and clearcell tumors, while TypeII cancers are the high-grade serous andpossiblyhigh-gradeendometrioidcancers,whicharelikelytocomefromthetube.
Recently, these authors suggested that lumping the Type I cancers together may be too simplisticandthattheyshouldbesubdividedintoatleastthreesubtypes:(i)endometriosis­related cancers including endometrioid, clear cell, and seromucinous carcinomas, (ii) low­gradeserouscarcinomas,and(iii)mucinouscarcinomasandmalignantBrennertumors(75).
Consistently observed risk factors for epithelial ovarian cancer include a protective effect of pregnancy, breast-feeding, and oral contraceptive use. A popular theory to accountforthesefindingsisthattheseeventsleadtoabreakinmonthlyovulationsand, therefore, repeated disruption and healing of the surface of the ovary (incessant ovulation),leadingtoovariancancer(76).Withthenewappreciationfortheimportanceof
thefallopiantubes,theeffectofovulation onfimbriae,including exposuretothe cytokine­richfollicularfluid,mustbeconsidered(73).
An alternative theory to incessant ovulation is that ovarian cancer may arise from
excessivegonadotropinstimulationoftheovary(77). Classicanimal models forovarian
cancer have involved disruption of ovarian–pituitary feedback, either by prematurely destroyingoocytesusingradiationorchemicaltoxinsorbytransplantingtheanimal’sovary to its spleen, leading to enhanced metabolism of ovarian hormones before they can exert feedback inhibition (7880). A role for gonadotropins was indicated by observations that ovarian tumors did not develop in rodents who were hypophysectomized before the experimentaltreatment,orwho were given estrogen, which inhibited gonadotropin release (81,82).Gonadalstromaltumorsinvariablydevelopedinmicewithatargeteddeletionofthe geneforthegonadotropindownregulator,α-inhibin,unlessthemicewerealsoincapableof secretinggonadotropins(83,84).
Thereissomesupportingepidemiologicdata,includingthatovariancancerincidencerises
sharply between the ages of 45 and 54, and remainselevated for the remainderof a woman’s life, paralleling gonadotropin levels over this period. In addition, the strong
protectiveassociationbetweenoralcontraceptivesandovariancancerduplicatestheeffectof exogenousestrogenintheanimalmodels(85).However,thetumorsintheseanimalmodels were stromal, not epithelial, and there does not appear to be a strong and consistent associationbetween use of fertility drugs and ovariancanceras might be predicted by the gonadotropintheory(8688).Finally,cohortstudies donot suggestthatlow anti-mullerian hormone levels (a signal of decreased ovarian reserve) increase the risk of ovarian cancer (89).
Anothertheory gaining credibility is that ovarian cancer may relate to inflammatory processesinvolvingtheovary(90). Apostulateofthis theory is thatpelvicinflammatory disease(PID)shouldincreasetheriskforovariancancer,and,indeedameta-analysisof13 case-controlledstudiessuggestedthatPIDmayincreasetheriskforborderlineovarian tumors(91). Becauserecall biascould haveaffectedtheconclusion fromthe case–control
studies,cohortstudiesareimportant.Atleasttwocohortstudiessuggestedanincreasedrisk forovariancancer(92,93)forwomenwithPID,whileathirddidnot(94).BesidesPID,other causes of ovarian inflammation may result from incessant ovulation or vaginal or uterine contaminants that reach the ovary. One such contaminant might be talc used in genital hygiene,whichhasbeenfairlyconsistentlyidentifiedasariskfactorforovariancancer (95,96).TalcusedingenitalhygienewasdeclaredapossiblecarcinogenbytheInternational AgencyforResearchonCancer(9799).
Besidestalc,anotherpelvic“contaminant”mightbemenstrualproducts,whicharebelieved toflowoutofthefallopiantubesduringmenstruationtoexplainendometriosis(100).Indeed,
priorendometriosisisariskfactorforovariancancer,especiallytheendometrioidand clearcelltypes(101,102).Thepelviccontaminationtheorymightexplainwhytuballigation
decreasestheriskofovariancancer(103).
Thetheorythatchronicinflammationmaybethepathwaytoovarian(andothercancers)has prompted interest in anti-inflammatory drugs as a means of possible prevention. There is reasonable evidence that aspirin use may reduce ovarian cancer risk (104,105). Risk may also be decreased by statin use, another drug with possible anti-inflammatory effects (106).
Anothertheorysuggestedisandrogenexcessandprogesteronedeficiency,butthisdoesnot explaintheobservationsontalc,tuballigation,oranti-inflammatorydruguse(107).Noneof thesetheoriesaccommodatetheobservationfromearlierstudiesthatahistoryofchildhood
mumps decreases the risk for ovarian cancer, or the recent observation that puerperal mastitis may lower the risk (108,109). This observation, as well as other described risk factors,areaccommodatedby a theory involvingimmuneeffectsrelatedto the surface glycoprotein and tumor marker, human mucin 1 (MUC1) (110). MUC1 is a high–
molecular-weight protein expressed in a highly glycosylated form at low levels by many types of normal epithelial cells, and in an underglycosylated form at high levels by most epithelialadenocarcinomas,includingendometrial,breast,andovariancancer(111).
In cancer patients, anti-MUC1 antibodies may correlate with a more favorable prognosis (112,113).Interestingly,anti-MUC1antibodiesarefoundinhealthyindividuals,especiallyin womenduringpregnancyandlactation,leadingtothehypothesisthatanaturalimmunity
againsttumorMUC1mightdevelopandaccountforthelong-termprotectiveeffectof pregnancyorbreast-feedingontheriskofbreastcancer(114).Thishasledtothebroader
theory that women who develop ovarian cancer may have had relatively fewer acute inflammatoryevents,suchasmumps,atuballigation,mastitis,andothersthatmaylead to anti-MUC1antibodies.They mayalsohavehadan excessof chronicinflammatoryevents, such as incessant ovulation, endometriosis, and talc use that may downregulate MUC1 immunity,therebyleadingtotheemergenceofaMUC1-expressingcancersuchasovarian. The observation that anti-MUC16 (CA125) antibodies may be raised by mastitis suggests thatimmuneeventsrelatedtoCA125shouldbeconsidered(109).
Finally,thereareseveralgeneticriskfactorsemergingforovariancancer.Havingamotheror sister with the disease increases a woman’srisk for ovarian cancer approximately two- to threefold(115).SpecificgeneticfactorsincludemutationsoftheBRCA1andBRCA2and theDNAmismatchgenes(116).Althoughthesegeneticfactorsaremorelikelytobefound infamiliesinwhichanumberofrelativeswereaffectedwithbreastorovariancancer,they maybefoundinupto44%ofwomenwithnosignificantfamilyhistory(117,118).Genome- wide association studies (GWAS) have found small but significant increases in risk with genetic variants located at 9p22 (in the BNC2 gene), 8q24, 2q31, 3q25, and 17q21 (16,119,120).
OtherGynecologicNeoplasms
Other than clear cell adenocarcinomas of the vagina associated with maternal use of diethylstilbestrol,vaginalcarcinomaisprimarilyadiseaseofwomenolderthan50yearsof age. Vulvar cancer has an age-incidence distribution similar to vaginal cancer. HPV infection appears to play a role in both vaginal and vulvar cancers (121124). In a population-based case–control study, HPV was detected in more than 80% of the tumor blocksfrompatientswithinsituvaginalcancerandin60%ofthosefrominvasivevaginal cancers(122). For vulvar cancer, two types have been defined (121,122,124). The first,
whichaffectsyoungerwomen,isassociatedwithHPVandhasapreinvasivestage.The second type occurs in older women and arises in areas with nonneoplastic epithelial disorders such as lichen sclerosis. Risk factors known to exist for cervical neoplasms also pertain to vulvar and vaginal neoplasms, including sexual history and smoking
(122,125127). Dietary studies suggest that alcohol may increase the risk while vegetable intakemaydecreasetherisk,butvalidationofthesestudiesisneeded(128,129).
Trophoblasticneoplasmsincludecomplete and partialhydatidiformmoles, invasive moles, andchoriocarcinoma.Theepidemiologyofhydatidiformmoleisprobablybetterunderstood than that of other trophoblastic diseases, and it is likely to be relevant because of the associationbetweenmolarpregnancyandsubsequentinvasivemoleorchoriocarcinoma.The
prevalenceofmolarpregnancyis10timesmorecommoninAsia,Indonesia,andother developing countries than in the United States (130). The risk of having a molar pregnancyincreaseswith maternal age, but it is less certain whether adolescents are at
increased risk (131133). A previous hydatidiform mole is a strong risk factor and subsequent pregnancies have a 1% risk of being a choriocarcinoma (134). The peculiar cytogeneticpatternsofcompleteandpartialhydatidiformmolesarediscussedinChapter15 andmayindicatetheimportanceofaberrantgermcellsintheoriginofthesedisorders.
Berkowitzetal.(135)suggestedthatdeficiencyofthevitaminAprecursor,carotene,orof
animalfatsnecessaryforitsabsorption,mightbeafactorinthecauseofthisdisease.
VitaminAdeficiencycausesfetalwastageandaberrancyofepithelialdevelopmentinfemale animals,anddegenerationofseminiferousepitheliumwithpoorgametedevelopmentinmale animals (136138). Geographic regions where molar pregnancy is common have a high incidenceofnightblindness(139).
Paternal blood group combinations may influence the risk of a molar pregnancy.
MotherswithgroupAbloodandfatherswithgroupAor0haveanincreasedriskcompared with all other blood group combinations (140142). Oral contraceptives are associated withanincreasedrisk of hydatidiform mole that increases with duration of use. Tenor moreyearsofuseareassociatedwithamorethantwofoldincreaseinrisk(143).Smoking doublesthe riskofhydatidiform mole andquadruplesthe risk with 10 or moreyearsof
smoking (140,144,145). The roles of alcohol, asbestos, and infections (HPV, adeno­associatedvirusandtuberculosis)havealsobeenconsidered(146,147).
CancerPrevention
Cancerpreventionmayoccuratthelevelofprimaryprevention(theidentificationand modification of risk factors for disease), secondary prevention (the detection of the diseaseatearlier,moretreatablestages),ortertiaryprevention(effectivetreatmentof clinicaldisease).Thissectionaddressesprimaryandsecondarymeasuresofprevention.
Methods of primary prevention are by no means certain, but suggestions include the following:
1. Forcervicalcancer,HPVvaccineshaveprovenbenefitsandshouldbeadministeredin
adolescenceorearlierinbothgirlsand boys. Use of barrier methods of contraception, avoidance of tobacco, and maintenance of a diet high in folates, B vitamins, and β­carotenemaybebeneficial.
2. Forendometrialcancer,maintenanceofidealbodyweight,avoidanceofahigh-fatdiet,
andavoidanceofunopposedestrogentherapyduringmenopausemaybebeneficial.
3. For ovarian cancer, use of oral contraceptives, if not medically contraindicated,
breastfeeding,andavoidanceoftalcingenitalhygienemaybebeneficial.Womenknown to carry a predisposing mutation should undergo prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy afterthey have completedchildbearing.Because of thelinkbetween tubal and ovarian cancer, it has been proposed that women undergoing hysterectomy who would not otherwiserequireoophorectomyshouldhavetheirtubesremoved(148). Aclinicaltrial hasbeeninitiatedtoevaluatewhetherwomenwhohaveaknowngeneticriskcansafely delayoophorectomybyfirstundergoingbilateralsalpingectomy(149).
Table7.5MeasuresofValidityforaScreeningProcedure
SecondaryPrevention
Detecting disease at a stage when it is more curable may prevent cancer deaths.The
secondarypreventionofcervicalcancerissuccessful,and screeningprogramsforthe other gynecologiccancersmayeventuallybedevised.
To be successful, a screening program must be directed at a “suitable” disease with a “suitable”screeningtest(150).Asuitablediseasemustbeonethathasseriousconsequences, as most cancers do. Treatment must be available so that when such therapy is applied to screen-detected (preclinical) disease, it will be more effective than when applied after symptomsof the diseasehave appeared. Thepreclinical phase ofthe disease mustbe long enoughthat the chancesaregood thataperson will bescreened.There mustbea suitable screeningtestasdefinedby simplicity,acceptabilitytopatients,lowcost,andhighvalidity (definedbythemeasuresinTable7.5).
TestDefinitions
Sensitivity
The sensitivity of a test is defined as the proportion of people with a true positive screeningresultofallthosewhohavethedisease.
Specificity
The specificity of a test is defined as the proportion of people with a true negative screeningresultofallthosewhodonothavethedisease.
PredictiveValue
Thepredictivevalueofapositivetestisdefinedastheproportionoftruepositivesoutof all those who screened positive. The alternate formula shown in Table 7.5 reveals that
predictivevalueisafunctionofsensitivity,specificity,anddiseaseprevalence.Thisfunction implies that a positive screening test is more likely to indicate disease in a high-risk populationthaninalow-riskpopulation.Positivepredictivevaluecannotbecalculatedfrom a case–control study, because the ratio of cases to controls is set by design and does not reflectdiseaseprevalenceinthegeneralpopulation.
ScreeningStrategies
Cervical cytology represents one of the most effective screening tests for cancer ever developed;controversies relate to how to makeitmore efficient. Guidelines suggestedby the American Cancer Society are that the interval between screenings may be safely lengthenedto 3 years in women who have at least threeconsecutivenegative screens and are at otherwise low risk (e.g., no history of immunosuppression) (151). Similar
guidelines were proposed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in 2000,althoughthelessfrequentintervalsweretobeatthediscretionofthephysician(152). Ananalysis of the potentialeffects ofextendingscreening intervals fromannuallyto once every 3 years concluded that an average excess risk of three cases of cervical cancer per 100,000womenscreenedwouldresult(153).However,toavertoneadditionalcaseofcancer byscreeningwomenannuallyfor3yearsratherthanonceevery3yearswouldnecessitate approximately280,000additionalPaptestsand15,000colposcopicexaminations.
HPV testing, which involves detection of HPV DNA in a cervical swab, can greatly improvethesensitivityofthetraditionalPaptesttoidentifyhigh-gradeCINinwomen ages30to69years.Ina studyof10,154 womenaged30to69years,theHPVtesthada
muchhighersensitivity(95%)thanthePaptest(55%),andsimilarspecificity(95%forHPV testingand97%forthePaptest).UsingHPVtestingtogetherwiththePaptestincreasesthe sensitivity to 100% (154). A cost–benefit analysis revealed that the maximum number of liveswouldbe saved when combined HPVand Pap test screening was performed every2 yearsuntildeath(155).FurtherdiscussionofthistopicisfoundinChapter8.
Screeningforendometrialcancerinasymptomaticwomeninthegeneralpopulationis not justified, but endometrial biopsies or assessment of the endometrial stripe by transvaginal ultrasound may be appropriate for perimenopausal or postmenopausal
womenat risk for endometrial cancer,including those who are obese, areexposed to unopposed estrogen, use tamoxifen, or come from families with both colon and endometrialcancer(i.e.,familieswithLynchsyndrome).
Thereisnoeffectivescreeningtestforovariancancer(156).Alargerandomizedtrialof
annual screening with CA125 with transvaginal ultrasound showed no benefit (157). A similar trial in the United Kingdom showed no clinically meaningful benefit. Though the searchforascreeningbiomarkerforovariancancerisongoing,nobiomarkerstodatehave performed better than CA125 alone (158,159). However,new advances in proteomic and metabolomicmeasurementwithbetterreproducibilityonsmallersamplevolumesthanbefore opennewopportunitiesfordiscovery.
