A. Unilateral ovary
B. Bilateral ovaries
C. Positive cytology
Stage II - Limited to pelvis
A. Extends to uterus or tubes
B. other pelvic organs
C. Positive cytology
Stage III – Spread to upper abdomen or regional lymph nodes
A. Microscopic spread
B. Macroscopic < 2 cm
C. Macroscopic > 2 cm
Stage IV - Spread outside peritoneum, pleura or parenchymal liver metastases Ovarian Cancer FIGO Staging System Stage Description Incidence Survival
I Confined to ovaries 20% 73%

Overall toxicity clearly favors paclitaxel regimen for all except neurotoxicity and arthralgia/myalgia
Differences in neurotoxicity related to taxane in each regimen should be reversible
Myelotoxicity worse with docetaxel and prevents use of what may be optimal dose of carboplatin
Paclitaxel/carboplatin remains the standard of care in order to maximize efficacy, minimize life-threatening toxicity Vasey PA, et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2004;96(22):1682-1691. DC = docetaxel-carboplatin PC = paclitaxel-carboplatin Regimen I (control)

Dasatinib Src kinase EGFR = epidermal growth factor receptor; Mab = monoclonal antibody; mTOR = mammalian target of rapamycin; PDGF-R = platelet derived growth factor receptor;
PKC-b = protein kinase C-beta;
VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor Rationale for Targeting VEGF in Treatment of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Human tumors
VEGF over-expressed in epithelial ovarian cancers, associated with
Ascites formation
Malignant progression
Poor prognosis
Preclinical models of solid tumors
Anti-VEGF therapy:
Slowing of tumor progression
Resolution of malignant effusions

(VEGF-TRAP) Podar K, et al. Blood. 2005;105(4):1383-1395. VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor
VEGFR = VEGF receptor Bevacizumab - Toxicity Proteinuria (usually G1 – G2)
Muco-cutaneous hemorrhage
Common – G1 epistaxis
Rare (possibly life-threatening) G2-G4 tumor site hemorrhage (primarily lung cancer trials)
Arterial thromboembolism
Uncommon (3% - 5%)
Risk factors: age > 65, prior arterial TE
Risk of venous thromboembolism not increased
GI perforation – wound healing
Perforation uncommon (2% - 4% in solid tumor population)
Wound dehiscence rate 1%
