Patients with advanced (Stage III or IV) ovarian cancer (OC) have a poor prognosis. The standard treatment options of surgery and chemotherapy extend life beyond diagnosis for 5 years or more in only approximately 45% of patients. This study was aimed at describing the standard of care in eight Western countries and estimating how many patients who are diagnosed with high-grade serous or endometrioid OC could potentially be eligible for first-line poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance therapy. The results highlight the poor prognosis for these patients and suggest that a significant proportion (79%) would potentially be eligible for first-line PARPi maintenance treatment.
