Rare tumours: some recent data and ideas Part two – endometriosis associated cancer David G. Huntsman BC Cancer Agency Vancouver General Hospital University of British Columbia Canada Research Chair in Molecular and Genomic Pathology
Clear cell and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma represent around 20% of cases in North America
Clinical disease heterogeneity Treated as one disease despite different clinical presentation and survival
MP10 In retrospective cohorts expect up to a 20% misclassification in chart based pathology
Impact of histotype changes • 300 cases centrally reviewed in 2002 • Reviewed again by same pathologist using 2014 WHO criteria : 54% concordance • New histotypes showed 98% concordance with second reviewer and stronger associations with outcome and biomarkers <<< = F Kommoss 2002 << F Kommoss 2014 = B Gilks 2014
Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary • 2 nd most common ovarian carcinoma subtype in NA (12%) and more frequent in Asia • Do not respond to standard ovarian chemotherapy • No other treatments available • May respond to radiotherapy • Molecular basis little understood • Weird cousins of renal CCC
ARID1a mutations • Common in OCCC, Endometrioid of ovary and uterus and MSI positive gastric cancers • Found in cancer types without tp53 mutations • Occur in precancerous lesions but may not be initiating events • Not prognostic • Apart from association with PIK3Ca mutations no reproducible evidence that ARID1a mutant ovarian cancers are different from non mutant cases of the same type • Specific targeting of ARID1a mutant cancers has been challenging

Endometrioid carcinomas • Almost all are low grade yet some progress to higher grade cancers • Stage 1 low grade endometrioid carcinomas of ovary have a very good prognosis • Higher grade endometriod carcinomas and recurrent low grade need new treatment approaches • POLE mutations in 5% of cases, MSI in >20% • Beta catenin mutations in 50% of cases • Often present with synchronous uterine carcinoma
Synchronous uterine and ovarian carcinomas • Up to 50% of low grade endometrioid carcinomas • Most are low grade and T1a • Due to excellent prognosis are considered to be separate primaries • Genomic and data molecular studies low resolution and interpreted as supporting separate primaries • Data to be shown non-validated comparisons of somatic mutations

Copy number plots showing clonality
Data and Conclusions • Clonal relationships between the endometrial and ovarian cancers seen in but one of 20 cases studies so far • Analysis of endometriosis and normal endometrium should inform whether these are metastatic cancers or whether a mutant field defect leads to both uterine cancer and ovarian cancer through endometriosis • Are these true metastasis?
Endometriosis: the main risk factor for CCC and ENOC • First described by Sampson in 1925.
Pearce et al Lancet Oncology 2012 • 13,226 controls, 7,919 cases including 674 CCC and 1220 endometrioid

Conclusions • Adjacent atypical endometriosis can have a near complete complement of mutations -final transformation events may not be mutations • So far no explanation for why endometriosis can lead to two such distinct cancers • Are there more sensitive clonal marks for tracking relatedness • Is there a screening window ? • What about endometriosis not associated with cancer?
Deep infiltrating endometriosis • Will other clinically relevant forms of endometriosis have somatic mutations as have been seen in endometriosis associated with cancer ? Is endometriosis a partially competent neoplasm

Endometriosis, CCOC and ENOCa ? How do two such different cancers arise from the same precursor?
How do different cancers arise from the same precursor? Do distinct mutations drive distinct oncogenic pathways ?
ENOCA and CCC: commonly mutated genes
Summary of specific genomic findings • No single feature exclusive to endometrioid or CCC discovered • No feature seen exclusively in ARID1a wild type cancers seen • KMT2B (MLL4) the most commonly mutated “new” gene of interest
Landscapes: Can the genomic landscape inform our understanding of the pathogenesis of these cancers • Higher level view of cancer genome enables identification of signatures that point to mutational process • ENOCa and CCC compared to GCT and HGSCa
Copy number changes GCT<<ENOCa<CCC<<HGSCa
