Nederlandse onderzoekers stellen grote vraagtekens bij het traditioneel volgen van mensen met hoog erfelijk bepaald risico op eierstokkanker via gangbare methoden als uitstrijkje, CA 125 marker en scan. 6 jaar lang volgden de onderzoekers aan het Erasmus Medisch Centrum 383 vrouwen waarvan de helft belast met erfelijk BRCA1/2 gen met hoog risico op eierstokkanker. De uitkomsten waren zeer onbetrouwbaar maar lees onderstaand abstract maar.

Outcome of surveillance and prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy in asymptomatic women at high risk for ovarian cancer. Meeuwissen PA, Seynaeve C, Brekelmans CT, Meijers-Heijboer HJ, Klijn JG, Burger CW. Family Cancer Clinic, The Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Erasmus University Medical Centre Rotterdam, Room H585, Dr Molewaterplein 40, 3000 CC Rotterdam, The Netherlands. OBJECTIVE: Women at high risk of ovarian cancer are currently offered two options: either surveillance or prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The efficacy and outcome of surveillance remain unclear.

METHODS: We performed a retrospective study. Between 1994 and 2000, we screened 383 high-risk women, of which 152 were BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Surveillance consisted of annual gynecological examination, transvaginal ultrasound, and serum CA125 measurement. Exploratory or prophylactic surgery was performed in selected cases.

RESULTS: There were no screen-detected primary ovarian cancers. Abnormal results at surveillance were observed in 74 (19.3%) of women; in 47 (63.5%), the abnormalities disappeared spontaneously. Exploratory surgery was performed in 20 (27.0%) women in whom one malignancy was found (metastatic breast cancer in the ovary). A rising CA125 value prompted further (non-surgical) evaluation in three women with a history of breast cancer: recurrent breast cancer was diagnosed in two women; in the third, a chondrosarcoma was found. 133 women opted for prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, whereby two unexpected malignancies were found (fallopian tube cancer and metastatic breast cancer). One interval primary ovarian cancer occurred, presenting as papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum 14 months after prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Complications of prophylactic surgery were encountered in 15 (11.5%) women.

CONCLUSIONS: Ovarian cancer surveillance has limited sensitivity, and a high number of false positive findings. This can lead to unnecessary surgical interventions, possibly resulting in surgery-related complications. It is important to inform high-risk women of these limitations. For now, prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy remains the optimal risk-reducing strategy for women at high risk.

Abstract

In a French national cohort of unaffected females carriers/non-carriers of a BRCA1/2 mutation, long-term preventive strategies and breast/ovarian cancer risk perceptions were followed up to 5 years after test result disclosure, using self-administered questionnaires. Response rate was 74%. Carriers (N=101) were younger (average age ± SD=37 ± 10) than non-carriers (N=145; 42 ± 12). There were four management strategies that comprised 88% of the decisions made by the unaffected carriers: 50% opted for breast surveillance alone, based on either magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other imaging (31%) or mammography alone (19%); 38% opted for either risk reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) and breast surveillance, based on MRI and other imaging (28%) or mammography alone (10%). The other three strategies were: risk reducing mastectomy (RRM) and RRSO (5%), RRM alone (2%) and neither RRM/RRSO nor surveillance (6%). The results obtained for various age groups are presented here. Non-carriers often opted for screening despite their low cancer risk. Result disclosure increased carriers' short-term high breast/ovarian cancer risk perceptions (P ≤ 0.02) and decreased non-carriers' short- and long-term perceptions (P<0.001). During follow-up, high breast cancer risk perceptions increased with time among those who had no RRM and decreased in the opposite case; high ovarian cancer risk perceptions increased further with time among those who had no RRSO and decreased in the opposite case; RRSO did not affect breast cancer risk perceptions. Informed decision-making involves letting women know whether opting for RRSO and breast MRI surveillance is as effective in terms of survival as RRM and RRSO.
