ovarian cancer</h2><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1"><h3>Review question</h3><p>At what carrier probability should women with ovarian cancer (with or without breast cancer) be offered genetic testing?</p><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.1"><h4>Introduction</h4><p>Up to 20% of ovarian cancers arise due to an inheritable cause; this is a significant minority. Identifying this significant minority is a clinical priority as it could have treatment implications for the patient and could enable risk reduction strategies in affected relatives. These causes of inheritable ovarian cancer are not always because of a single gene mutation (such as in the <i>BRCA</i> gene) but can be due to a complex interaction of a combination of small changes in the individuals DNA. Therefore, it is not always easy to illicit the underlying inheritable source.</p><p>Testing all ovarian cancer patients for an inheritable cause is one strategy to find those who have a germline cause for their cancer. However what test to do, how to interpret the results and the impact such testing would have on the provision of genomic services are all uncertain. Therefore, it may be that limiting testing to a probability that would increase the yield of positive results and make the interpretation of those results more reliable is preferable. This review question looks at the effects of applying various probabilities as a threshold for germline testing on the clinical outcomes.</p></div><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.2"><h4>Summary of the protocol</h4><p>See <a href="/books/NBK604392/table/niceng241er9.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng241er9tab1">Table 1</a> for a summary of the Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome (PICO) characteristics of this review.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figniceng241er9tab1"><a href="/books/NBK604392/table/niceng241er9.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table 1" class="img_link icnblk_img" rid-ob="figobniceng241er9tab1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/corehtml/pmc/css/bookshelf/2.26/img/table-icon.gif" alt="Table Icon" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="niceng241er9.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK604392/table/niceng241er9.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng241er9tab1">Table 1</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Summary of the protocol (PICO table). </p></div></div><p>For further details see the review protocol in <a href="#niceng241er9.appa">appendix A</a>.</p></div><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.3"><h4>Methods and process</h4><p>This evidence review was developed using the methods and process described in <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/process/pmg20/chapter/introduction" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">Developing NICE guidelines: the manual</a>.

However, there was a large body of evidence on the number of women with ovarian cancer who carry germline pathological variants (prevalence) of genes associated with ovarian cancer. This was reported both overall and within subgroups such as histological type of cancer, age at onset and family history of cancer. Pathological variants were seen in all of the subgroups analysed, suggesting that genetic testing could be useful in all cases of ovarian cancer.</p><p>There was a lack of evidence on incidence of other (non-ovarian) cancers and the rate of uptake of risk reducing treatments.</p><p>
<b>
<i>Prevalence of germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants in ovarian cancer overall, by histological subtype, age of onset and family history</i>
</b>
</p><p>There was low quality evidence that the overall prevalence of <i>BRCA1/2</i> pathological variants was around 13-17%. When grouping by histological type of ovarian cancer the highest prevalence of <i>BRCA1/2</i> pathological variants was around 22% in women with high grade serous cancers (low to high quality evidence).</p><p>Low quality evidence suggested that age of ovarian cancer onset was also associated with risk of <i>BRCA1/2</i> pathological variants, with the highest prevalence seen in the 40 &#x02013; 50 year group, followed by the 50 &#x02013; 60 year group. Very low quality evidence suggested that positive family history of breast or ovarian cancer was associated with a relatively high prevalence of <i>BRCA1/2</i> pathological variants (26%) when compared to those without a positive family history (6%).</p><p>
<b>
<i>Prevalence of germline MMR deficient pathogenic variants in ovarian cancer</i>
</b>
</p><p>Moderate quality evidence indicated that overall prevalence of <i>MMR</i> deficient pathological variants was 0.8% in unselected populations with ovarian cancer.</p><p>
<b>
<i>Prevalence of germline BRIP1, RAD51C, RAD51D, PALB2, ATM, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 pathological variants in ovarian cancer</i>
</b>
</p><p>Low quality evidence indicated that around 3% of women with ovarian cancer had germline pathological variants of <i>BRIP1, RAD51C, RAD51D, PALB2</i>, or <i>ATM</i> genes.</p><p>
<b>
<i>Prevalence of germline BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51C, RAD51D or BRIP1 pathological variants in ovarian cancer</i>
</b>
</p><p>One study reported a prevalence of around 18% for pathological variants of <i>BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51C, RAD51D</i> or <i>BRIP1</i> in women with ovarian cancer (moderate quality). In this study there was low to moderate quality evidence that women with high-grade serous cancer had a relatively high prevalence of pathological variants (around 20%) as did those with positive family history (46%).</p><p>See <a href="#niceng241er9.appf">appendix F</a> for full GRADE tables.</p></div><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.7"><h4>Economic evidence</h4><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.7.1"><h5>Included studies</h5><p>Five economic studies were identified which were relevant to this review (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng241er9.ref5" rid="niceng241er9.ref5">Eccleston 2017</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng241er9.ref7" rid="niceng241er9.ref7">Hurry 2020</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng241er9.ref8" rid="niceng241er9.ref8">NICE CG164 2013</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng241er9.ref6" rid="niceng241er9.ref6">Moya-Alarcon 2019</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng241er9.ref9" rid="niceng241er9.ref9">Manchanda 2024</a>, in publication).

Identifying pathogenic variants has the potential to reduce the incidence of these other cancers through risk reducing treatments, but this will also depend on the rate of uptake of these treatments. The number of people carrying pathogenic variants (prevalence) was also a critical outcome, because this informs the choice of testing strategy, such as testing all women with ovarian cancer or testing particular high-risk subgroups.</p></div><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.11.2"><h5>The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The quality of the evidence was assessed using GRADE and ranged from very low to high quality. Evidence quality was downgraded predominantly because of inconsistency and imprecision. One of the included systematic reviews was considered at serious risk of bias because it did not address heterogeneity or the impact of risk of bias on its results.</p><p>Evidence was lacking for outcomes of other (non-ovarian) cancer incidence and rates of uptake of risk reducing treatments. Due to the gaps in the clinical evidence and the issues with evidence quality, the committee also drew on their experience when drafting the recommendations.</p></div><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.11.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><p>The committee, based on the clinical and health economic evidence, agreed to recommend pre-test counselling and genetic testing to any woman diagnosed with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer. In the context of genomic testing, this means pre-test counselling, consent and genetic testing being undertaken at the point-of-care by a member of the gynaecological oncology multidisciplinary team rather than genetics services (mainstreaming). They agreed that detection of pathological variants could benefit the woman through risk reducing treatment and may directly inform her care, for example poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for those with <i>BRCA</i> mutations. There are also benefits for the woman&#x02019;s relatives who have the option of risk reducing treatment if they are also found to carry the pathogenic variant.</p><p>The committee also discussed various carrier probability thresholds but decided against recommending any particular threshold and took a pragmatic view that the overall prevalence of pathogenic variants was high enough to justify testing for any woman diagnosed with any invasive epithelial ovarian cancer.</p><p>The committee, based on expertise, decided to recommend pre-test counselling and genetic testing in specific subtypes of tumours seen in ovarian-cancer related syndromes such as ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour, small cell carcinoma of the ovary hypercalcaemic type, ovarian sex cord stromal tumour with annular tubules, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the ovary and ovarian gynandroblastoma. These are associated with pathogenic variants that increase the risk of ovarian cancer. They noted that these ovarian cancer histotypes are rare and that genetic counselling and genetic testing would help identify these pathogenic variants whilst not adding significant costs. The committee noted that people with such non-epithelial ovarian cancer would usually be referred by gynaecology oncology MDT if no previous mainstream genetic testing has been taken place.</p></div><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.11.4"><h5>Referral criteria</h5><p>Based on discussions of genetic testing of people with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer, the committee made a referral recommendation with a list of criteria for genetic counselling and genetic testing that healthcare professionals in primary care and secondary care can apply. These criteria include anyone who has a diagnosis of ovarian cancer as outlined in above (invasive epithelial ovarian cancer or the specific subtypes of tumours seen in ovarian-cancer related syndromes) and have not already had mainstream genetic testing. Mainstream genetic testing refers to pre-test counselling, consent and genetic testing being undertaken at the point of care by a member of the gynaecological oncology multidisciplinary team rather than genetics services.</p></div><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.11.5"><h5>Cost effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>There were five existing economic studies on the cost-effectiveness of <i>BRCA</i> genetic testing in women with breast or ovarian cancer.</p><p>Only one economic analysis explicitly assessed the cost-effectiveness of offering genetic testing at various carrier risks. All other studies compared offering genetic testing with no genetic testing or using family history/clinical criteria for genetic testing in people with ovarian or breast cancer, without explicitly mentioning what the carrier risk was. However, the committee was able to approximate carrier risks from the population descriptions provided in these studies.</p><p>The committee discussed the economic analysis that was undertaken for the NICE Familial Breast Cancer Guideline CG164 (2013). This analysis was directly applicable to the NICE decision-making context and had potentially serious methodological limitations. The committee noted that the analysis is outdated. It was also highlighted that some cancer incidence data was based on assumptions. The committee discussed that there is more recent effectiveness and cost data. The committee acknowledged the findings and found it encouraging that overall, the cost-effectiveness of offering genetic testing to women with ovarian or breast cancer was within NICE cost-effectiveness threshold values. Particularly so when considering the costs and outcomes to eligible first- and second-degree relatives.</p><p>The committee acknowledged another UK study which found that <i>BRCA</i> genetic testing for women with epithelial ovarian cancer, the subsequent testing and management of their first and second-degree relatives, if the index patient or first-degree relative were positive, was cost-effective. In this study the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was well below the lower NICE cost-effectiveness threshold. Also, the probability of genetic testing being cost effective was approaching 100% at &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY threshold. This evidence was directly applicable to the NICE decision-making context and only had minor methodological limitations.</p><p>The committee also discussed another UK study which found that offering genetic testing to women with ovarian cancer was not cost-effective. This study was directly applicable to the NICE decision-making context and had only minor methodological limitations. The committee discussed that in this study genetic testing also included somatic <i>BRCA</i> testing of all ovarian cancer patients (not necessarily how genetic testing would be done in clinical practice). Also, currently only <i>BRCA</i> testing is undertaken in people with ovarian cancer diagnosis. This analysis, however, did include a panel of genes.</p><p>The committee also discussed that the inclusion of PARP inhibitors was the main driver of the results. They have also noted that if genetic testing is not offered to women with ovarian or breast cancer then more PARP inhibitors will need to be given in future, due to people being identified late with more advanced stage ovarian cancers. This would result in even greater pressure on the NHS.</p><p>The committee also noted that there is uncertainty in some model inputs. For example, the impact of PARP inhibitors on overall survival. As a result, the committee was more inclined to use the results of the analysis which excluded PARP inhibitors and found that genetic testing was cost-effective in women with ovarian cancer.</p><p>The committee also acknowledged evidence from Canada which found that <i>BRCA</i> testing for people with ovarian or breast cancer and the subsequent testing and management of their first and second-degree relatives if the index patient or first-degree relative were positive was potentially cost-effective. The committee noted that this evidence was only partially applicable to the NICE decision making.</p><p>The committee acknowledged the Spanish study which suggested that <i>BRCA</i> testing for women with ovarian cancer and their eligible relatives might not be cost-effective, since it exceeds NICE&#x02019;s upper cost-effectiveness threshold of &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY. However, this study&#x02019;s partial applicability to NICE&#x02019;s decision-making context, together with potential serious methodological limitations (such as non-discounted QALYs, unclear data sources and lack of sensitivity analyses), limited the committee&#x02019;s ability to draw firm conclusions from this study.</p><p>The committee noted that offering genetic testing to people with invasive epithelial ovarian cancers aligns with current practice and that the economic evidence supports this approach. Moreover, genetic counselling is an integral component of genetic testing for pathogenic variants and the implementation of this recommendation will not require additional resources. Also, in their evaluations of the cost-effectiveness of genetic testing, all included economic studies considered genetic counselling as part of the strategy under evaluation.</p><p>The committee discussed that genetic testing for women diagnosed with rarer non-epithelial ovarian cancers may be less cost effective. However, the committee explained that there will be very few women with these other rarer cancers and decided to recommend genetic testing and counselling in these women too.</p><p>The committee acknowledged that most of the economic evidence relates to <i>BRCA</i> genetic testing. However, implementing the recommendation in this area will mean testing for other genes included in the panel as well. The committee explained that <i>BRCA</i> genes are the most prevalent and determine the cost-effectiveness of genetic testing. Even though panel testing costs may be higher, the overall costs of genetic testing have substantially decreased over time. This suggests that the costs used for <i>BRCA</i> genetic testing in the included older economic analyses may be comparable to those of panel testing. Consequently, the reported cost-effectiveness will likely be improved since additional pathogenic variants would be identified for similar testing costs.</p></div></div><div id="niceng241er9.s1.1.12"><h4>Recommendations supported by this evidence review</h4><p>This evidence review supports recommendations 1.3.1 and 1.4.5 in the NICE guideline.</p></div></div><div id="niceng241er9.rl.r1"><h3>References &#x02013; included studies</h3><ul class="simple-list"><div id="niceng241er9.rl.r1.1"><h4>Effectiveness</h4><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="niceng241er9.ref1"><p id="p-238">
