Targeted Therapies in Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancers.

Low grade serous carcinoma of the ovary has been delineated as a separate entity from its counterpart high grade serous carcinoma of the ovary. Molecular profiling has helped to further characterize this disease process and has led to new and exciting treatment options. Surgery has always been a cornerstone of management both in primary and recurrent disease settings. Chemotherapy has been a long-standing backbone of adjuvant treatment, but its efficacy continues to be questioned. Hormonal therapy for upfront and recurrent disease is an effective treatment option with a high response rate and minimal side effects. Newer therapies including MEK, CDK 4/6, and PI3KCA inhibitors have emerged as exciting options for recurrent disease. Ongoing clinical trials will hopefully lead to additional therapeutic opportunities based on novel biomarkers in this disease.
