Tertiary Prevention of Ovarian Cancer After PARP Inhibitor Therapy / 肿瘤防治研究

ABSTRACT

The tertiary prevention approaches of ovarian cancer include whole-person care, training of the patients to cooperate with physicians in the periods of treatment and follow-up, training program of the qualified surgeons, and recognition of biological behavior changes of relapse after PARPi therapy. Surgery remains the cornerstone in the management of ovarian cancer, but the role of surgery after PARPi remains unknown. Recently, the US FDA withdrew the indication of three PARP inhibitors in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer with ≥3 lines of chemotherapy because of their ≥30% increased death risk. Thus, we should pay more attention to the biological recurrence and chemoresistance caused by PARP inhibitors and post-progression survival in ovarian cancer.
