requency: 7.8

% in reproductive

age, 2.5-18

%

in postmenopausal

Usually detected by gynecologist, most incidentally in pelvic exam or imaging and less commonly present with acute or intermittent pain

Can

have gynecologic or non-gynecologic etiologiesGynecologic: ovarian(benign or malignant), tubal(hydrosalpynx , EP, …), paratubal, uterine( leiomyoma, anomalies, hemato or pyometra,…)Non-Gynecologic: GI, urologic, metastatic, retroperitoneal tumors ( LAP, sarcoma, neurologic tumors),…Slide14

Adnexal mass

The discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses is central to clinical management and surgical planning in adnexal mass

Characterizing

ovarian pathology is fundamental to

optimizing management

in both pre- and post-menopausal

women:

- Inappropriate

referral

to oncology services

- Unnecessary surgery

- Overly

radical

interventions compromising fertility in young womenFor adnexal masses highly suspicious for cancer, women should be referred a gynecologic oncologist and facility for optimal care.Failing to recognize cancer significantly impact on prognosisSlide15

Adnexal mass

Main purpose

of the diagnostic evaluation of adnexal tumors is to exclude the possibility of

malignancy

Prediction

of malignancy of an ovarian mass is critical for:

Management ( surgery vs observation)

Choice of surgeon

Center and

Surgical

technique

Accurate preoperative

evaluations are

pivotal for optimal managemenSlide16

Evaluation of pelvic masses

Clinical evaluation of patient (patient’s characteristics, risk factors, history and physical examination), imaging results and serum markers help us to separate masses into the categories of “

probably benign

”, “

uncertain

” and “

likely malignant

” which can guide appropriate management.Slide22

Tools

for Assessing

Risk of Ovarian Cancer in

a Mass

Tools as malignancy marker:

Clinical: - History

:

age , menopausal status, family history, Wt loss

,..

-

P/E

:

firm nodular adherent pelvic mass, evidences of advanced tumorParaclinical: - Imaging (Sono, CT and MRI): bilaterality, solid part, large tumor size( >10cm), mural nodules and vegetation, thick wall and septation, detection of omental or peritoneal nodularity and seeding, ascites, lymphadenopathy - Serum tumor markers: CA125, …Combinations of markersSlide23

Clinical evaluation

Risk factors:

Age:

most important independent risk factor of ovarian cancer, about 70% > 55y/o

Menopausal status:

risk of malignancy is much greater than premenopausal

Familial history of breast or ovarian cancer

: most important personal risk factor of ovarian cancer. Different from familial ovarian cancer syndrome

- lifetime probability of general population: 1.6%

- one affected family member: 5%

- woman with BRCA1 mutation: 41-46% by age 70 - woman with BRCA1 mutation: 10-27% by age 70 - woman with Lynch syndrome: 5-10% by age 70 ACOG Practice Bulletin No 174, Nov 2016 Slide24

Clinical evaluation

Detailed history and Symptoms:

Patient may present history and symptoms that can refine the differential diagnosis: genetic/familial high risk assessment, potential of pregnancy, acute onset pain, intermittent acute pain, fever, chills, vaginal discharge, secondary dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, AUB, bloating, early satiety,

wt

loss,…

Physical

examination:

irregular, firm, nodular, bilateral mass or associated with ascites are concerning for malignancy

ACOG

Practice Bulletin No 174, Nov

2016Slide25
Slide26

Imaging of mass

Ultrasonography:

-

TVS:

most commonly used for evaluation of adnexal mass

-

TAS:

distorted pelvic structures, mass extended beyond the pelvis or when TVS cannot be performed

Color Doppler ultrasonography

CT, MRI, PET:

not recommended for initial evaluation of adnexal massSlide27

TVS

Transvaginal

ultrasound has long been considered the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of adnexal

masses:

Available,

high quality

images,

detailed descriptions of

macroscopic appearance of

mass,

and

least expensive of all imaging modalities currently

available

Advantage: widespread availability, good pt tolerability, cost effectivenessMain limitation for distinguishing benign from malignant mass: low specificity, low PPV especially in premenopausal womenSlide28

Gray scale TVS

Recommended

modality for suspected adnexal mass

No alternative imaging modality has sufficient superiority to TVS to justify its routine use

High frequency gray scale TVS: high resolution images of mass that approximate it’s gross anatomic appearance

Image quality is operator dependent

High inter-observer agreement among experts

In

premenopause

: expert

sonography

reached the highest discriminative power with PPV of 0.45, and an

NPV of 0.99

.Slide29

MR Imaging

MRI:

limited data

May

have superior ability compared to TVS in correctly classifying malignant masses at the expense of lower detection

rate. Help

clarify malignant potential in patients in whom ultrasonography may be unreliable, MRI is the most appropriate test

Often

helpful in differentiating the origin of pelvic masses that are not of

ovarian origin

,

specially leiomyomaSlide30

CT

CT:

best use of CT is not to detect or characterize pelvic masses but to evaluate:

In cases in which extra-ovarian disease and abdominal metastasis suspected or needs to be ruled out, CT is the most useful technique

To evaluate an alternate primary cancer site when cancer is suspected based on

sono

, P/E or serum markersSlide31

Doppler technology

Doppler technology:

Evaluation of an adnexal mass by Doppler technology alone is not recommended. Doppler technology should be combined with a morphology assessment

Increase

the specificity of two dimensional gray scale

sonography

Overlapping range of values of resistive index,

pulsatility

scale, max systolic velocity between benign and malignant masses

In attempt to overcome this overlap: Three dimensional ultrasound of vasculature of

mass,

better discrimination than Doppler

sonoSlide32

What ultrasound finding suggest malignancy?

Findings should raise concern regarding malignancy are:

- Size: greater than 10 cm

- Papillary or solid component

- Irregularity

- Ascites

- High color Doppler flow

Many

research on different various

ultrasonographic

scoring systems to quantify cancer risk based on

morphology

Generally all

evaluated scoring systems were found to have an acceptable level of sensitivity and specificitySlide33

What ultrasound finding suggest benign disease?

Characteristics of benign masses: simple appearance with

-

Thin smooth walls

- Absence of

septation

, solid component

Absence of internal blood flow in Doppler

Highly likely (almost always) to be benign in any age group regardless of menopausal status and often regress

Malignancy rate in most series: 0-1%Slide34

Cutoff size of need for surgery of simple

masses

Cutoff size of need for

surgery of simple masses:??

Often

≥ 10 cm

Obstet Gynecol 2003;102:594. In 1148 unilocular cyst: 11, 0.96% were malignant (7/11 , sono did not detect macroscopic papillary projection or solid part seen at surgery) Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol 2013;41:80. ACOG Practice Bulletin No 174, Nov 2016 Slide35

Ultrasound finding suggest selected benign masses

Some ultrasound findings may be specific for selected benign masses (level II evidences, small descriptive studies):

Endometrioma

:

specificity 89%, sensitivity 83%, PPV 77%,

NPV

92%

Mature

Teratoma

:

98% accuracy in 155 case of

dermoid specificity 99%, sensitivity 58%Hydrosalpinx: specificity 99%, sensitivity 93%, Slide36

Ultrasonography-based morphology scoring systems

Generally

various models

all are

able

to distinguish

benign from malignant masses

in most instances

2014 systematic review and meta-analysis compared various morphologic (ultrasound scoring) malignancy prediction

models.

Hum

Reprod

Update 2014;20:449-62

Best performing models were: IOTA group logistic regression model 2(LR2): patient age + 5 sono findings: sensitivity 92% , specificity 83%IOTA simple rules model: including 10 ultrasound findings: sensitivity 93% , specificity 81% ACOG Practice Bulletin No 174, Nov 2016 Slide37

Ultrasound

based prediction model (LR2) developed by

the International

Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) study offers better

diagnostic performance

than CA125 alone.Slide38

Laboratory Testing

To evaluate likelihood of malignancy and need for

surgery of a mass

CBC, pregnancy test, STD, U/A, stool-OB,...

Serum markers:

CA125, HE4, markers of less common ovarian histopathology:

BhCG

, LDH, AFP,

Inhibin

,…

CA125

:

Specificity

and PPV are consistently higher in postmenopausalCutoff : Premenopause: 30 U/ml Postmenopause & hysterectomy: suggested 20 -26 U/ml - Epithelial ovarian cancer: - 83% CA125 ≥ 35 IU/ml - ↑ 50% in stage I - ↑ 90% in more advanced stagesSlide39

CA125

Best known ovarian cancer serum tumor marker

Biomarker

in epithelial ovarian cancer

Overall sensitivity in distinguishing

malig

: 61-90%, spec 71-93%

PPV: 35-91, NPV 67-90%. wide variation

Elevated only in ½ early stage, rarely elevated in germ cell, stromal and mucinous

Positive in many non malignant conditions:

myoma

, PID, ascites of any etiology, endometriosis, IBD, SLE,…Slide40

Limitations :

-

Low

specificity/ PPV in premenopausal years: Elevated levels in

benign

gynecological

diseases

- Low sensitivity/NPV:

in Stage I ovarian cancer 50%. CA 125 alone is not a sensitive marker for screening of pelvic mass - Elevated level in some other cancers - In premenopausal: Using > 35 U/mL as threshold 78% sensitivity and 78% specificityCA125Slide41

CA125

In

premenopause

women:

less

value in prediction, extreme values increase suspicious and concern for

malignancy, even

though benign conditions such as

endometrioma

can have CA125 of 1000 or greater

Threshold: ?, no evidence based threshold is currently available

Prior ACOG guidance used ≥ 200 for referral of

premenopause

Gynecologist should integrate CA125 with other factors in judging the need for referralSlide42

CA125

In

postmenopause

:

Both sensitivity and specificity of elevated CA125 for cancer diagnosis in setting of pelvic mass is higher after menopause

Elevated

CA125 + pelvic mass in post menopause: highly suspicious to malignancy & should be referred to

Gyn

Oncologist

In

post menopause: ↑ CA125 without ovarian ca is a risk factor

of

death from other

malignanciesCombinations of expert sonography with CA-125 serum measurement in postmenopause achieved the highest discriminative power: Combination of CA-125 & expert sono: PPV 0.89 and NPV of 0.97 Slide44

Dual Marker

: CA125+ HE4

1997

:

Maggino

et al.

examined

sens

and spec of CA125 at various cutoffs

At cutoff of

35:

sensitivity of

78.3%

, specificity 82%Increasing cutoff to 65: sensitivity decreased to 71.7% and specificity increased to 92.5%20% of EOC express little, if any, CA125In early stage ↑ to 50%So: not sufficient as single markerSlide45

Dual marker: CA125+HE4

2007

: Moore et al.

examined a panel of biomarkers.

Dual

marker of

HE4 + CA125:

highest sensitivity of various combinations, increased sensitivity of CA125 alone

HE4 is elevated in

> 50%

of tumors that do not express CA125

Addition of HE4 to CA125 enables higher detection of malignancies in:

1-

Patients with tumor that do not express CA125 and will be missed by algorithm CA125 alone2- Early stage disease compared with CA125 So it’s addition to CA125: ↑ sensitivity Slide46

Combination of different markers

Sonography

In postmenopausal

with adnexal mass seems to

improve

sensitivity and specificity of predicting adnexal malignancies. In

Readily available, useful in emergency evaluation of ovarian torsion suspicion for malignancySlide54
Slide55

When observation is recommended for a pelvic mass?Slide56

Observation with repeat imaging is recommended when:

1- Morphology of ultrasonography suggests benign disease

2- Less certain morphology with compelling reason to avoid intervention

3- Asymptomatic women+ normal CA125 + no TVS finding suspicious for ca

4- Simple cysts < 10 cm, likely benign on TVS by expert ( rare exceptions)

5- Suspected

endometrioma

6- Suspected mature

teratoma

7- Suspected

hydrosalpynx

8- Some women with substantial serious multiple comorbidities: repeat

imaging safer than immediate surgical intervention ACOG Practice Bulletin No 174, Nov 2016Slide57

Adnexal mass in postmenopausal patient

The adnexal mass in a postmenopausal patient poses an important diagnostic

and management

dilemma for primary care providers and gynecologists

.

Postmenopausal women

are at a significantly increased risk of gynecologic malignancy; yet

even in

this population the majority of adnexal masses are benign.

Evaluation and management

of these lesions centers on the identification of

malignancy,

while avoiding unnecessary intervention in

patients with benign lesions. Slide58

Repeat Imaging

Is recommended when the diagnosis is uncertain and cancer remains within the differential diagnosis

Ideal interval and duration

of ultra-sound follow: yet to be defined

In one study all monitored masses eventually diagnosed as malignancy: demonstrated growth by 7 m. (level II-III)

Some experts recommend limit observation time to

:(level III

)

- Stable mass without solid component:

1y.

-

S

table mass with solid component: 2y. Such-Burgmann E, Hung YY, Kinney W. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2014;211:623 Such-Burgmann E, Kinney W. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2015;213:816Slide59

What type of surgical intervention is appropriate?Slide60

Presumed benign adnexal masses: minimally invasive procedures are the

preferred route

of surgery

Regardless of size and approach: fertility preservation should be priority in adolescence and women who have not completed child bearing

If suspicious of cancer during endoscopy: conversion to laparotomy 0-1.5%

Rate of cyst rupture: equivalent in laparoscopy and laparotomy

Shortened hospital stay, decreased pain, decreased convalescence time

Conventional Vs robotic assisted: conventional is preferred , shorter operative time

ACOG

Practice Bulletin No 174, Nov 2016Slide61
Slide62

Which patient may benefit from referral to a Gynecologic Oncologist?Slide63

Consult or referral to Gyn

oncologist

Consultation or referral is recommended for women with one OR more following criteria:

Postmenopausal:

masses with elevated CA125, ultrasound findings suggestive of malignancy, ascites, nodular or fixed pelvic mass, evidence of abdominal or distant metastasis

Premenopausal:

masses

with elevated CA125, ultrasound findings suggestive of malignancy, ascites, nodular or fixed pelvic mass, evidence of abdominal or distant

metastasis

Pre or postmenopausal:

masses with elevated score on a formal risk assessment test such as RMI, ROMA,IOTA ultrasound-based scoring systems
