2 Cancer of Ovary, Fallopian Tube and Peritoneum: FIGO staging Deliberations on October 7 th, 2012 in Roma at Fieri Di Roma FIGO GYNAECOLOGY ONCOLOGY COMMITTEE in collaboration with ESGO, UICC, AJCC, SGO, GCIG, IGCS

3 Cancer of Ovary, Fallopian Tube and Peritoneum: FIGO staging The process of the proposed changes to staging of Ovarian Cancer (OV), Fallopian Tube (FT) and Primary Peritoneal Cancer (PPC) started 3 years ago with a proposal that was sent to all relevant gynaecology oncology organisations and societies throughout the world and input was collated, evaluated and formulated into the staging that is presented below. All suggestions are based on the best AVAILABLE evidence. The committee acknowledges that there are areas that are not supported by strong evidence and have been careful to ensure that changes are not made without quality evidence. The new staging below was reached by consensus of all participating in the meeting on October 7th, 2012, some of whom were representatives of their organisations. The new staging was presented to the FIGO EXCECUTIVE BOARD on Friday 12th October 2012 and approved two weeks later. The proposal will now be presented to the boards of UICC and AJCC. Only once approval has been given from these organisations will FIGO be able to publish the new staging globally.

10 FIGO Stage I New Old FIGO TNM I Tumor confined to ovaries or fallopian tube(s) T1 Tumor limited to the ovaries (one or both) IA Tumor limited to one ovary (capsule intact) or fallopian tube T1a No tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface No malignant cells in the ascites or peritoneal washings Tumour limited to one ovary; capsule intact No tumour on ovarian surface No malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings IB Tumor limited to both ovaries (capsules intact) or fallopian tubes T1b No tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface No malignant cells in the ascites or peritoneal washings Tumour limited to both ovaries; capsule intact No tumour on ovarian surface No malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings

11 FIGO Stage I New Old FIGO TNM IC Tumor limited to one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, T1c with any of the following: Tumour limited to one or both ovaries with any of the following: Capsule ruptured, tumour on ovarian surface, malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings IC1 Surgical spill intraoperatively IC2 Capsule ruptured before surgery or tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface IC3 Malignant cells in the ascites or peritoneal washings

12 FIGO Stage II FIGO II New Old Tumor involves one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes with pelvic T2 extension (below pelvic brim) or primary peritoneal cancer (Tp) Tumour involves one or both ovaries with pelvic extension TNM IIA Extension and/or implants on the uterus and/or fallopian tubes/and/or ovaries Extension and/or implants on uterus and/or tube(s); no malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings IIB Extension to other pelvic intraperitoneal tissues Extension to other pelvic tissues No malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings IIC Pelvic extension (IIa or IIb) with malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings T2a T2b T2c

13 FIGO Stage III New Old FIGO TNM III Tumor involves one or both ovaries, fallopian tubes, or primary T3 peritoneal cancer, with cytologically or histologically confirmed spread to the peritoneum outside the pelvis and/or metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes Tumour involves one or both ovaries with microscopically Confirmed peritoneal metastasis outside the pelvis and / or regional lymph node metastasis

14 FIGO Stage III New Old FIGO TNM IIIA Metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes with T1, T2, or without microscopic peritoneal involvement T3aN1 beyond the pelvis Microscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond pelvis IIIA1 Positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes only (cytologically or histologically proven) IIIA1 (i) Metastasis 10 mm in greatest dimension IIIA1 (ii) Metastasis > 10 mm in greatest dimension IIIA2 Microscopic extrapelvic (above the pelvic brim) T3a, peritoneal involvement with or without positive T3aN1 retroperitoneal lymph nodes

15 FIGO Stage III New Old IIIB Macroscopic peritoneal metastases beyond the pelvic brim 2 cms in greatest dimension, with or without metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes Macroscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond the pelvis, 2 cm or less in greatest dimension. IIIC Macroscopic peritoneal metastases beyond the pelvic brim T3b/T3bN1 T3c/T3cN1 > 2 cms in greatest dimension, with or without metastases to the retroperitoneal nodes (includes extension of tumor to capsule of liver and spleen without parenchymal involvement of either organ) Peritoneal metastasis beyond pelvis, more than 2 cm in greatest dimension and / or regional lymph node metastasis

16 FIGO Stage IV New Old IV Distant metastasis excluding peritoneal metastases Distant metastasis (excludes peritoneal metastasis) IVA: Pleural effusion with positive cytology IVB: Note: Metastases to extra-abdominal organs (including inguinal lymph nodes and lymph nodes outside of abdominal cavity) Parenchymal metastases are Stage IV B Any T, Any N, M1

17 Stage Grouping FIGO T N M IA T1a N0 M0 IB T1b N0 M0 IC T1c N0 M0 IIA T2a N0 M0 IIB T2b N0 M0 IIC T2c N0 M0 IIIA T3a N0 M0 T3a N1 M0 IIIB T3b N0 M0 T3b N1 M0 IIIC T3c N0 M0 T3c N1 M0 IV Any T Any N M1

18 Notes 1. The primary site - i.e. ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum should be designated where possible. In some cases, it may not be possible to clearly delineate the primary site, and these should be listed as undesignated. 2. The histologic type of should be recorded. 3. The staging includes a revision of the stage III patients and allotment to stage IIIA1 is based on spread to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes without intraperitoneal dissemination, because an analysis of these patients indicates that their survival is significantly better than those who have intraperitoneal dissemination. 4. Involvement of retroperitoneal lymph nodes must be proven cytologically or histologically. 5. Extension of tumor from omentum to spleen or liver (Stage III C) should be differentiated from isolated parenchymal splenic or liver metastases (Stage IVB)
