OVARIAN TUMORS
Introduction
It is the most lethal gynecological malignancy
>25,000 women in USA annually 14,000 deaths annually
Epidemiology
The etiologies of epithelial ovarian cancer are not
known Age The mean age at diagnosis is 59 years 15.7 per 100,000 women at age 40 years 54 per 100,000mwomen at age 79 years One women in 70 in the USA will develop ovarian cancer Ov ca is a disease of postmenopausal women, women with a family history of breast ca and ov.ca may be diagnosed with ov.ca up to 10 years earlier than the average women
Family history
The strongest risk factor A women with a single first-degree relative with ov.Ca has a relative risk (RR) of approximately 3.6 for developing ov.ca compared with general population Her life time risk approx. 5% 5-10% of ov.ca are linked to identifiable, inherited mutations in certain genes Families in which three or more first-degree relatives have ovarian or ovarian plus breast cancer are likley to have a cancer-susceptibility genetic mutation that is transmitted in an autosomal-dominant inheritance pattern
Family history
Three familial ovarian cancer syndromes:
The site specific ovarian ov.ca syndrome
# only ov.ca is seen # account for 10-15% of hereditary ov.ca The hereditary breast/ovarian cancer syndrome #associated with 65-75% of hereditary ov.ca
Family history`
In the hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome (HNPCC), affected individuals may have colon, endometrial, breast, ovarian or other cancers
HNPCC kindred's account for an additional 1015% of hereditary ovarian cancer The hereditary breast/ovarian cancer syndrome and perhaps less frequently the site specific ovarian cancer syndrome are linked to mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes
Ethnicity
Higher in white women Higher in north America and northern Europe than Japan Difference related to genetics, diet, or environmental exposure or a combination BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are more common among white women of Ashkenazi descent Incidence of ov.ca is higher in countries with higher in countries with higher per capita consumption of animal fat
Reproduction factors
Nulliparous
First childbirth after age 35 years Involuntary infertility Late menopause and early menarche RR (2.0-5.0) Pts. With prolonged period or uninterrupted
ovulation
Exogenous hormones
OCP decreased risk of epithelial tumors
RR 0.5 in 5 years or more users HRT
no relation
pressure, urinary and rectal symptoms Ascites , pleural effusion and shortness of breath cashecsia
