Urgent Gynaecological Cancer ReferralNICE GuidelinesRefer Urgently:
with clinical features suggestive of cervical cancer on examination. A smear test is not required before referral, and a previous negative result should not delay referral
not on hormone replacement therapy with postmenopausal bleeding
on hormone replacement therapy with persistent or unexplained postmenopausal bleeding after cessation of hormone replacement therapy for 6 weeks
taking tamoxifen with postmenopausal bleeding

Urgent Gynaecological Cancer ReferralRefer Urgently:
with an unexplained vulval lump or with vulval bleeding due to ulceration
Consider urgent referral for patients with persistent intermenstrual bleeding and negative pelvic examination
Refer urgently for an ultrasound scan patients: with a palpable abdominal or pelvic mass on examination that is not obviously uterine fibroids or not of gastrointestinal or urological origin.
If the scan is suggestive of cancer, an urgent referral should be made. If urgent ultrasound is not available, an urgent referral should be made

Ovary - Case History 1
65 yo woman presents with 3 month history of abdominal bloating, and pelvic pain, with symptoms suggestive of IBS. Prior to this she had been well.
Q1. What are the most important investigations
![Page 7: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ovary - Case History 1
Q1. What are the most important investigations?
• Ultrasound scan abdo/pelvis• CA125 measurement• Clinical examination• Bowel investigations
![Page 8: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ovarian Cancer:
the recognition and initial management of ovarian cancer
Full guideline April 2011
Developed for NICE by the National Collaborating Centre
for Cancer
![Page 9: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ovarian Cancer: Nice Guidelines
• Focuses on areas of uncertainty• GPs are often criticised for delays in
diagnosis• Relatively rare cancer (5th commonest)• Symptoms often none specific
![Page 10: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ovarian Cancer: Nice Guidelines
‘tests’ should be carried out in primary care if a woman (especially if 50 or over) reports having any of the following symptoms on a persistent or frequent basis;
• persistent abdominal distension• feeling full (early satiety) and/or loss of appetite• pelvic or abdominal pain.• increased urinary urgency and/or frequency.
![Page 11: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ovarian Cancer: Nice Guidelines• Consider carrying out ‘tests’ in primary care if a woman
reports unexplained weight loss, fatigue or changes in bowel habit.
• Advise any woman who is not suspected of having ovarian cancer to return to her GP if her symptoms become more frequent and/or persistent.
• Carry out appropriate tests for ovarian cancer in any woman of 50 or over who has experienced symptoms within the last 12 months that suggest irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS), because IBS rarely presents for the first time in women of this age.
![Page 12: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ovarian Cancer: Nice Guidelines
BUT WHAT TEST SHOULD WE DO?
![Page 13: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ovarian Cancer: Nice Guidelines
• Clinical evidence and Health economic evaluation was performed.
• Initial test should be CA125• If this is raised then perform an
ultrasound• If both are ‘positive’ refer to secondary
care (Sequential testing)
![Page 14: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ovarian Cancer Management
What can you tell the patient?
• Laparotomy – what this entails• Risks and additional procedures• Any Chemotherapy pre op or post op?• Types of chemotherapy
![Page 15: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Case History 2
The previous patient comes to the surgery with her 45 year old daughter who has had 3 episodes of abdominal bloating in the last month related to food but no change in bowel habit.
Q2. Would you measure her CA125 level?
![Page 16: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Case History 2CA125 levels – pitfalls• Not elevated in up to 50% of stage 1 ovarian
cancers• Can be raised for other reasons
• Benign ovarian cysts eg endometriosis• Fibroids• Connective tissue disorders• Heart failure/liver failure• Other malignancies eg breast or lung
![Page 17: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Case History 2
Consequences?• Unnecessary investigations• Unnecessary interventions

EORTC Study Overview
• Randomized trial, standard primary debulking surgery followed by chemotherapy was compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by debulking surgery in women with bulky stage IIIC or IV ovarian cancer.
• Starting treatment with chemotherapy allowed more patients to undergo optimal tumor debulking during the subsequent operation.
• However, the outcomes were the same regardless of the timing of the debulking operation.
• Primary chemotherapy is an option in the management of bulky ovarian cancer.
![Page 23: Gynaecological Cancer Update for GPs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815e7c550346895dcd03ef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
EORTC Study Overview
• Surgical Effort – how far should we go?
• Is Chemotherapy the important factor?
• Is ability to debulk related to the inherent tumour biology.
• Is perioperative morbidity greater with upfront debulking surgery.

Endometrial Cancer Case History?
A 70 year old woman presents with 3 episodes of heavy post menopausal bleeding.
Q1 What are the referral options? Q2 What investigations will be
performed?

Endometrial AdenocarcinomaPre-operative Imaging
•TV USS useful as diagnostic/screening tool •One stop PMB clinic is the gold standard•MRI is the method of choice for radiological staging once diagnosis established•Best for prediction of depth of myometrial invasion and cervix involvement

Endometrial Adenocarcinoma
Management
• Consider laparoscopic approach• Role of lymph node removal uncertain (ASTEC)• Role of brachytherapy – (PORTEC 2)
