CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of gynecologic cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Review available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with microsatellite instability (MSI)-high and microsatellite-stable recurrent endometrial cancer, and appreciate ongoing research attempting to define the role of these agents in the treatment of this disease.
    • Consider the FDA approval of pembrolizumab in combination with lenvatinib for patients with advanced endometrial cancer that is not MSI high or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) who have experienced disease progression after systemic therapy, in order to optimally integrate this novel regimen into clinical management algorithms.
    • Recognize the recent FDA approval of dostarlimab for patients with dMMR advanced endometrial cancer after disease progression on or after a prior platinum-based regimen.
    • Appraise available and emerging research findings supporting the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for progressive advanced cervical cancer, and identify patients appropriate for treatment with these agents in or outside of a clinical research study.
    • Consider emerging pivotal research findings with and the potential clinical role of tisotumab vedotin in therapy for recurrent cervical cancer.
    • Design and implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the management of endometrial and cervical cancer in order to support quality of life and continuation of therapy.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with endometrial and cervical cancer, and counsel appropriate individuals about availability and participation.
