    Abstract Objective: Patients with advanced ovarian cancer face a range of treatment options, and there is unwarranted variation in treatment decision-making between UK providers. Decision support tools that produce data on treatment outcomes as a function of individual patient characteristics, would help both patients and clinicians to make informed, preference- and values-based choices. However, data on treatment outcomes to include in such tools are lacking.
    Methods: Following a literature review, a questionnaire was designed for use in a Delphi process to establish which treatment outcomes are important to both patients and clinicians in decision-making for treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. Patient and clinician panels were established.
    Results: Following 2 Delphi rounds, consensus was achieved for 7/11 items in the patient panel and 8/11 items in the clinician panel. Consensus across both panels was achieved for inclusion of both overall survival and progression free survival as important items in the decision-making process, although there remained differences of opinion as to whether these should be presented as relative or absolute values.
    Conclusion: Information needs for treatment decision-making in ovarian cancer differ between and within patient and clinician groups. Whilst overall survival and progression free survival are universally accepted as important data items, decision support tools will need to be nuanced to allow presentation of a range of outcomes and associated probabilities, and in a range of formats, that can be tailored to the preferences of clinician and patients.

    Abstract Ovarian cancer is amongst the ten most common cancer types in women, and it is one of the leading causes of death. Despite the promising results of targeted therapies, including anti-angiogenic agents and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), the majority of patients will relapse and develop treatment resistance, implying that novel therapeutic strategies are required. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) refers to the process by which autologous immune cells are used to eliminate cancer. Examples include tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), T cells genetically engineered with T cell receptors (TCR), or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells. Recently, ACT has revealed promising results in the treatment of haematological malignancies, however, its application to solid tumours is still limited due to lack of functionality and persistence of T cells, prevalence of an exhausted phenotype and impaired trafficking towards the tumour microenvironment (TME). In this review we explore the potential of ACT for the treatment of ovarian cancer and strategies to overcome its principal limitations.

    Abstract Introduction: For patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, complete surgical cytoreduction remains the strongest predictor of outcome. However, identifying patients who are likely to benefit from such surgery remains elusive and to date few surgical outcome prediction tools have been validated. Here we attempted to externally validate a promising three protein signature, which had previously shown strong association with suboptimal surgical debulking (AUC 0.89, accuracy 92.8%), (Riester, M., et al., (2014)).
    Methods: 238 high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer samples were collected from patients who participated in a large multicentre trial (ICON5). Samples were collected at the time of initial surgery and before randomisation. Surgical outcome data were collated from prospectively collected study records. Immunohistochemical scores were generated by two independent observers for the three proteins in the original signature (POSTN, CXCL14 and pSmad2/3). Predictive values were generated for individual and combination protein signatures.
    Results: When assessed individually, none of the proteins showed any evidence of predictive affinity for suboptimal surgical outcome in our cohort (AUC POSTN 0.55, pSmad 2/3 0.53, CXCL 14 0.62). The combined signature again showed poor predictive ability with an AUC 0.58.
    Conclusions: Despite showing original promise, when this protein signature is applied to a large external cohort, it is unable to accurately predict surgical outcomes. This could be attributed to overfitting of the original model, or differences in surgical practice between cohorts.

    Abstract Purpose: A third of familial epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is explained by BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for BRCA1/2 heterozygotes associated with EOC have been created, but impact of combination with clinical and hormonal risk factors is unclear.
    Methods: We genotyped 300 cases and 355 controls and constructed modified PRSs based on those validated by Barnes et al. Model discrimination and EOC risk was assessed by area under the curve (AUC) values and difference between lowest and highest quintile odds ratios (ORs). We investigated model optimization using logistic regression to combine models with clinical and hormonal data.
    Results: Unadjusted AUC values ranged from 0.526 to 0.551 with 2.2- to 2.3-fold increase in OR between lowest and highest quintiles (BRCA1 heterozygotes) and 0.574 to 0.585 AUC values with a 6.3- to 7.7-fold increase (BRCA2 heterozygotes). The optimized model (parity, age at menarche, menopause, and first full-term pregnancy) estimated AUC values of 0.872 to 0.876 and 21- to 23-fold increase in OR (BRCA1 heterozygotes) and AUC values of 0.857 to 0.867 and 40- to 41-fold increase (BRCA2 heterozygotes).
    Conclusion: The combination of PRS with age, family history, and hormonal factors significantly improved the EOC risk discrimination ability. However, the contribution of the PRS was small. Larger prospective studies are needed to assess if combined-PRS models could provide information to inform risk-reducing decisions.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate decision making for patients with advanced ovarian cancer as a possible explanation of geographical variation in treatment patterns.
    Methods: We carried out a multi-centre observational study in multidisciplinary teams meetings for five major UK cancer centres. All patients presenting to five cancer centres with advanced ovarian cancer over a six-week period. The GO-MDT-MODe tool was used to provide a measure of participation and quality of case discussion for all cases of advanced ovarian cancer. MDT scores were correlated with surgical data extracted from national audit data. Data were recorded for overall MDT performance.
    Results: A total of 870 case discussions, including 145 cases of advanced ovarian cancer, were observed. MDTs varied in structure, format and time allocation between centres. Cluster analysis showed significant variation in quality and participation of discussion between centres (p < 0.0025) and this correlated with the proportion of patients in the wider cancer alliance undergoing surgery.
    Conclusions: We have shown that at least part of the variation in practice seen in the UK correlates with different behaviours within MDTs. Increasing time for discussion and encouraging participation from all staff groups may increase proportions of patients undergoing optimal treatment regimens.

    Abstract The study of social and popular movements continues to attract great interest, but little is known of political activity which takes place outside of traditional political structures. Tnis volume looks at informal political action which arises when conventional frameworks, such as those provided by welfare states, are in crisis or decline. At such times the usual expectations about politcal action may not apply, so what actually goes on?Greatly expanding the scope for research into collective action, this volume will be of great interest to students and researchers of politics and sociolog

    Abstract Objective: Our objective was to investigate whether trial evidence showing that neoadjuvant chemotherapy is non inferior to primary surgery for the primary treatment of advanced ovarian cancer could be extrapolated to groups of patients that were not included in the trials.
    Methods: Using a detailed retrospective cohort of all patients managed through a single tertiary hospital we carried out a propensity score analysis, principal component analysis, and cox proportional hazard analysis to compare survival in matched cohorts.
    Results: A propensity score analysis showed that for at least 41% of all patients with advanced high-grade serous cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy is non inferior to primary surgery (median survival primary surgery: 38 months, neoadjuvant chemotherapy: 35 months. P = 0.39). However, principal component analysis, supported by cox modelling, suggests that for some subgroups, including patients with subdiaphragmatic nodal disease, primary surgery may be associated with improved survival (HR 0.11, CI 0.026-0.48).
    Conclusions: We have shown that the findings of previous trials can be extrapolated to a wider population and that statistical modelling can be used to identify groups or patients who benefit from specific modalities of treatment.
