Low-grade Serous Tumors: Are We Making Progress?

Purpose of Review: This review provides an overview of the current clinical standard in low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC). The available evidence for surgery and standard treatments is elaborated. In addition, we discuss recent findings and novel treatments for LGSOC. Recent Findings: Two large multicenter trials studying MEK inhibitors in LGSOC have been presented in the last year. Binimetinib demonstrated an activity in LGSOC, especially in KRAS-mutated disease. Trametinib was associated with an improved progression-free survival in relapsed LGSOC. Based on the current results, MEK inhibitors could be an alternative treatment for LGSOC. Summary: Surgery is an important step in the treatment of LGSOC. Hormonal therapy and bevacizumab can be beneficial, next to chemotherapy. Targeted treatments, such as the MEK-inhibitor trametinib, seem to be efficient and should be introduced into clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
