Impact of HPV Vaccination• Prevention of primary infection with high-risk HPV
subtypes (especially HPV 16, 18)
• No impact on established chronic HPV infection, or pre-invasive disease, or invasive cancer
• Induction of herd immunity (♀♂) with viral transmission
• Reduction in HPV-associated non-cervical cancers
• Foster innovation to reduce barriers (cost, complexity)
• Drive low cost HPV screening and POC technology
• Development of expanded multivalent (n=16) vaccines

Summary: Cervical Cancer• Multivalent HPV vaccination to prevent infection in children, with an
emphasis on high-risk populations in the developing world
• Tailored multidisciplinary management of early-stage disease
• Integration of adjuvant chemotherapy in high-risk disease
• Improved PFS and OS following incorporation of bevacizumab with chemotherapy for metastatic or recurrent disease, but with an increased risk of fistula formation (in patients with prior radiation)
• Activation of the cellular immune response using novel vaccines
• Emergence of Immune checkpoint inhibition as an important strategy, in view of HPV-associated target antigens

Summary: Endometrial Cancer• Obesity can impact cancer risk and clinical outcomes across subtypes
• Potential role for metformin in obesity-associated cancers
• Importance of screening for MMR deficits (MSI, Lynch Syndrome)
• Not just “Type I and II”, but at least 4 distinct clinical and molecular entities (TCGA) have been established
• Angiogenic pathways, including FGFR2, of interest as potential targets
• Emergence of immune checkpoint inhibition as an important strategy, in hypermutated subtypes, including POLE and MSI-high
• Management of high-grade serous tumors remains challenging, with a need to address drug resistance and the DNA damage response

Summary: SBT and LGSC• The molecular and clinical biology of LGSC is distinct from HGSC
• SBT with invasive implants is probably best categorized as LGSC
• Overall mortality in advanced-stage LGSC is similar to HGSC
• Primary hormonal maintenance may delay recurrence (retrospective)
• SBT-LGSC can recur with high-grade features, retaining the molecular profile of LGSC (KRAS+ and TP53 wt)
• Targeting the RAS/RAFMEK/ERK pathway has modest activity; although combined network targeting is limited by toxicity
• The role of immune checkpoint inhibition in LGSC is unknown, but neoantigen production and mutational burden are low

APR-246: Restoring p53 Function
Basu B, et al. for EUTROC
• p53 tumor suppressor induces cycle arrest, senescence and/or apoptosis, in response to cellular stress
• TP53 mutations correlate with chemoresistance and outcomes across diverse tumors
• APR-246 is a small molecule pro-drug that stabilizes mutant p53 into wild-type conformation via active MQ
• APR-246 also depletes glutathione, inhibits thioredoxin reductase, increases ROS levels and ER stress

Summary: HGSC• The molecular and clinical biology of HGSC is distinct from LGSC
• The case-fatality ratio in advanced-stage HGSC has not changed, in spite of recent advances in treatment and supportive care
• Restoring tumor suppressor function of mutated p53 might be feasible
• Contemporary IV chemotherapy appears equivalent to modified IP chemotherapy with either cisplatin or carboplatin
• Fractionated weekly paclitaxel, with carboplatin, improves outcomes in the absence of bevacizumab
• Vascular disrupting agents, combined with bevacizumab, are under evaluation
• NACT with ICS offers a valuable platform for clinical research
• PARP inhibition has become widely utilized in the setting of recurrent disease, with questions about patient selection, timing, resistance, and combinations with other agents, including immunotherapy
• The role of immune checkpoint inhibition in HGSC is unknown, but likely to be complicated by multiple pathways of immunosuppression
