Objective: To provide recommendations on systemic therapy options in consolidation or maintenance therapy for women with newly diagnosed stage II, III, or IV epithelial ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma including all histological types. Methods: Consistent with the Program in Evidence-based Program’s standardized approach, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and PROSPERO (the international prospective register of systematic reviews) databases, and four relevant conferences were systematically searched. The Working Group drafted recommendations and revised them based on the comments from internal and external reviewers. Results: We have one recommendation for consolidation therapy and eight recommendations for maintenance therapy. Overall, consolidation therapy with chemotherapy should not be recommended in the target population. For maintenance therapy, we recommended olaparib (Recommendation), niraparib (Weak Recommendation), veliparib (Weak Recommendation), and bevacizumab (Weak Recommendation) for certain patients with newly diagnosed stage III–IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma, respectively. We do not recommend some agents as maintenance therapy in four recommendations. We are unable to specify the patient population by histological types for different maintenance therapy recommendations. When new evidence that can impact the recommendations is available, the recommendations will be updated as soon as possible.

Background: This study aims to provide guidance for the use of neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapy in women with newly diagnosed stage II–IV epithelial ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Methods: EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library were investigated for relevant systematic reviews and phase III trials. Articles focusing on consolidation and maintenance therapies were excluded. Results: For women with potentially resectable disease, primary cytoreductive surgery, followed by six to eight cycles of intravenous three-weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin is recommended. For those with a high-risk profile for primary cytoreductive surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be an option. Adjuvant chemotherapy with six cycles of dose-dense weekly paclitaxel plus three-weekly carboplatin can be considered for women of Japanese descent. In women with stage III or IV disease, the incorporation of bevacizumab concurrent with paclitaxel and carboplatin is not recommended for use as adjuvant therapy unless bevacizumab is continued as maintenance therapy. Intravenous paclitaxel plus intraperitoneal cisplatin and paclitaxel can be considered for stage III optimally debulked women who did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, intraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy with bevacizumab should not be considered as an option for stage II–IV optimally debulked women. Discussion: The recommendations represent a current standard of care that is feasible to implement and valued by both clinicians and patients.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this present review was to provide evidence-based guidance regarding the provision of CRS with HIPEC in the treatment of peritoneal cancers. MethodsThe guideline was developed by Cancer Care Ontario’s Program in Evidence-Based Care, together with the Surgical Oncology Program, through a systematic review of relevant literature, patient and caregiver-specific consultation and internal and external reviews. Recommendation 1aFor patients with newly diagnosed, primary stage III epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma, HIPEC should be considered for those with at least stable disease following neoadjuvant chemotherapy at the time of interval CRS if complete or optimal cytoreduction is achieved. Recommendation 1bThere is insufficient evidence to recommend the addition of HIPEC when primary CRS is performed for patients with newly diagnosed, primary advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma outside of a clinical trial. Recommendation 2There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer outside the context of a clinical trial. Recommendation 3There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS in patients with peritoneal colorectal carcinomatosis outside of a clinical trial. Recommendation 4There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS for the prevention of peritoneal carcinomatosis in CRC outside of a clinical trial; however HIPEC using oxaliplatin is not recommended.Recommendation 5There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS for the treatment of gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis outside of a clinical trial. Recommendation 6There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS for the prevention of gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis outside of a clinical trial. Recommendation 7There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS in patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma as a standard of care; however, patients should be referred to HIPEC specialty centres for assessment for treatment as part of an ongoing research protocol. Recommendation 8There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS in patients with disseminated mucinous neoplasm in the appendix as a standard of care; however, patients should be referred to HIPEC specialty centres for assessment for treatment as part of an ongoing research protocol.
