abstractJapan Society of Gynecologic Oncology guidelines 2015 for the treatment of ovarian cancer including primary peritoneal cancer and fallopian tube cancer
The fourth edition of
the Japan Society of Gynecologic Oncology guidelines for the treatment
of ovarian cancer including primary peritoneal cancer and fallopian tube
cancer was published in 2015. The guidelines contain seven chapters and
six flow charts. The major changes in this new edition are as
follows—(1) the format has been changed from reviews to clinical
questions (CQ), and the guidelines for optimal clinical practice in
Japan are now shown as 41 CQs and answers; (2) the ‘flow charts’ have
been improved and placed near the beginning of the guidelines; (3) the
‘basic points’, including tumor staging, histological classification,
surgical procedures, chemotherapy, and palliative care, are described
before the chapter; (4) the FIGO surgical staging of ovarian cancer,
fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer was revised in 2014
and the guideline has been revised accordingly to take the updated
version of this classification into account; (5) the procedures for
examination and management of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer are
described; (6) information on molecular targeting therapy has been
added; (7) guidelines for the treatment of recurrent cancer based on
tumor markers alone are described, as well as guidelines for providing
hormone replacement therapy after treatment.
