Abstract

Background:

TCGA data using expensive multi-modality diagnostic platforms have shown that 50% epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) are estimated to be homologous recombination (HR) deficient (HRD). We developed a functional assay for HR using gamma H2AX-Rad51 immunofluoresence.[1]

Methods:

Primary cultures were developed in 50 consecutive EOCs from ascetic fluid and HR assay was performed.

Results:

50% patients were HRD based on the functional assay and show improved ex-vivo chemosensitivity to PARP inhibitor (PARPi) (PPV = 92%, NPV = 100%). HRD patients showed improved platinum sensitivity (53.8% vs 16.7%), survival (12 month OS - 41.7% vs. 11.5%) and optimal cytoreduction (80% vs. 62%) rates compared to HR competent (HRC) tumours which are less responsive and represent an unmet clinical need.

Conclusions:

Personalised surgical and chemotherapeutic strategies may be developed for HR stratified EOCs. Primary surgery may be the preferred approach in HRC due to poor chemoresponse; surgical expertise/environment should be optimised to ensure optimal surgical outcome. Intra-operative hyperthermic treatment and selective HR inhibitors may improve subsequent chemoresponse in HRC and are currently being investigated.
