Development of Ismail’s Guide wheel on the Management of Less Common Ovarian Cancers

We developed Ismail’s Guide wheel on the Management of Less Common Ovarian Cancers as an extension to Ismail’s Guide wheel on the Management of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Including Fallopian Tube and Primary Peritoneal Cancer. The former mainly discusses the adjuvant therapy for patients with less common epithelial ovarian cancer such as clear-cell carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma along with non-epithelial OC such as malignant sex cord-stromal tumors, malignant germ cell tumors and carcinosarcomas while the latter also discusses the primary therapy for those types of tumors. This guide wheel comprises of an amalgamation of the recommendations by international health organizations including the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO), the British Gynecological Cancer Society (BGCS), the National Institute of Care and Excellence (NICE), the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG), the European Society of Gynecological Oncology (ESGO), the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the Korean Society of Gynecologic Oncology (KSGO), the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). Ismail’s Guide wheel on the Management of Less Common Ovarian Cancers serves as a quick, feasible reference for physicians when counseling patients diagnosed with those less common ovarian cancers regarding the expected course of treatment bearing in mind the significance of individualizing treatment to each patient’s unique case.
