ABSTRACT
Since the previous 2013 and 2016 recommendations for clinical practice (RPC) Nice/Saint-Paul-de-Vence for gynecological cancers, the management of ovarian cancer has become more complex with the evolution of the quality criteria recommended for surgery and the integration of molecular biology for the decision of medical treatments, especially for high grade epithelial ovarian cancers. Surgical indications have become more precise both in the first line and in the context of relapse. Treatments with PARP inhibitors is a major advance in medical management with significant efficacy in maintenance after response to platinum-based chemotherapy. The benefit already known in the case of late relapse has also been demonstrated in first-line treatment with progression-free survival never observed in this pathology with patients with very long responses, especial ly in the case of BRCA gene abnormalities (somatic or constitutional). In 2021, medical and surgical strategies in front line including PARP inhibitors associated or not with bevacizumab as a maintenance complement after platinum chemotherapy are guided by both response to platinum agents and molecular profiling including BRCA (somatic or constitutional) genetic status and homologous recombination pathway (HRD) abnormalities, that should be early tested. On behalf of the GINECO national oncologist group, we have updated the guidelines for high grade ovarian epithelial cancer (excepted rare tumors) in order to allow rapid dissemination of the latest advances to the medical community and improve daily practice.
