Scott Steele: So how long can women expect to be in the hospital after this?
Is it a pretty safe surgery to recover from? Chad Michener: Yeah, people do pretty well. And it really depends on how much is done in surgery. But I think, as a general rule, people will be usually home within three to 10 days.
And we generally try to start that three or four weeks after surgery. Is there a role for kind of preserving fertility or egg freezing or anything like that? And also, is there a role for genetic testing? Chad Michener: So fertility in younger women, we do try to preserve, in fact. Oftentimes, you can take one ovary out, do the biopsies for lymph nodes and things, and leave the other ovary. There are some other things you can do. So that would be that group.
The second question was genetic testing. And that becomes important for two reasons. And then secondly is we actually utilize that as part of our treatment now with a group of drugs called PARP inhibitors, and those are oral medications that are taken either with or most times following chemotherapy, and they have a specific function in patients with BRCA mutations or similar mutations.
And so it becomes an important part of the treatment paradigm for those patients as well. In fact, most people who have endometrial or ovarian cancer have a normal pap smear at the same time that they get diagnosed.
So they can have lots of disease scattered all over the abdominal cavity, and the ovaries can actually feel quite normal. And so you can have normal exam and then three months later show up with bloating, nausea, and then be diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Chad Michener: So the Holy grail would be screening, right? And so the research is been looking for a new marker for a long time. Inflammation of anything in the abdominal cavity or in the chest can cause that number to go up. On the treatment side, I think everything is going, as with most cancer, to targeted therapies, things other than chemotherapy.
And then with targeted therapy, most of our trials now contain not only chemotherapy but either PARP inhibitors, other targeted inhibitors, and actually sometimes immunotherapy or a combination of those. This one hits particularly close to home as my mother passed from it.
So, Chad, we are going to just kind of wind up with a few quick hitters for you. Chad Michener: Gee, I would say college football to watch.
