Gynecologic Oncology Case Reports - Prolonged response of relapsed high grade serous ovarian carcinoma to the oral angiokinase inhibitor nintedanib in a patient with a germline BRCA1 mutation

Highlights

► Nintedanib is an anti-angiogenic agent that has demonstrated activity in relapsed ovarian cancer
► Our patient had prolonged response to nintedanib, allowing her to have potentially curative surgery six years after her diagnosis
► The relationship between angiogenesis and BRCA mutation is worth exploring in ovarian cancer
