Abstract

• Despite a high rate of complete surgical staging and six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, the risk of recurrence was 37%. • Recurrence rate was higher for homologous recombination deficiency (HRD, 70%) cases compared to proficient/unknown cases. • Shorter recurrence-free survival was seen among HRD cases compared to proficient/unknown cases. • Only 25% of HRD cases were due to germline BRCA mutations, with the remaining 75% identified as HRD by somatic testing. • Studying the role of PARP inhibitors in patients with early stage HRD ovarian cancer to improve outcomes is warranted.
