CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical and gynecologic oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of ovarian and endometrial cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced ovarian cancer (OC), and provide appropriate counsel regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
    • Assess available clinical trial data with and newly adapted indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive and multiregimen-refractory OC in order to optimally and appropriately incorporate these agents into current treatment algorithms.
    • Evaluate the biological rationale for and published research data with PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the current and future clinical and research implications of these findings for OC management.
    • Appreciate available clinical research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC), and consider the current and future role of this novel strategy in the care of patients with microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair-deficient and microsatellite-stable/mismatch repair-proficient disease.
    • Recognize available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and select patients with metastatic EC to receive this novel approach.
    • Understand the biological rationale for and available data with PARP inhibitors in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for patients with advanced or metastatic EC.
    • Evaluate published clinical research findings documenting the efficacy of HER2-targeted agents and regimens in patients with HER2-overexpressing EC, OC and other gynecologic cancers, and consider the role of various approaches in the management of these diseases.
    • Describe the scientific justification for, published research data with and ongoing studies of novel agents and strategies for OC and EC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.
