Abstract
Background . Ovarian cancer is the third most common cancer of the female reproductive system after cervical and uterine cancer and is diagnosed at stage III–IV in 2 out of 3 cases. Maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors signifcantly prolongs disease-free and overall survival. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate long-term remission in a patient with advanced ovarian cancer using maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors (olaparib). Description of the clinical case . A 54-year-old female patient with verifed stage IV ovarian cancer, peritoneal carcinomatosis and left-sided pleurisy received combined modality treatment, including 2 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel/carboplatin, cytoreductive surgery and 6 courses of postoperative chemotherapy with docetaxel/cisplatin. The patient was diagnosed with a somatic BRCA2 gene mutation (c.3708delA), which was detected by tumor DNA sequencing. The patient received maintenance therapy with olaparib for 38 months, resulting in no evidence of disease progression. Conclusion . This clinical case demonstrates the feasibility of using maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors in a patient with initially disseminated platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. Olaparib maintenance therapy provides stable long-term remission with no signs of adverse events and determined effect on quality of life of the patient.
