CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    These activities are intended for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of gynecologic cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Describe the biologic rationale for, published research data with, and ongoing evaluation of the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the management of ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer (EC) and cervical cancer (CC).
    • Appraise the clinical research findings supporting the FDA approval of anti-PD-1 monotherapy for PD-L1-positive, progressive metastatic CC, and counsel appropriate patients about the risks and potential benefits of this treatment approach.
    • Review available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and microsatellite stable recurrent EC, and identify patients who may be eligible for this strategy as part of a clinical research study or outside of a protocol setting.
    • Assess the recent FDA approval of pembrolizumab in combination with lenvatinib for patients with advanced EC that is not MSI-H/mismatch repair deficient who experience disease progression after prior systemic therapy but are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation therapy, and optimally integrate this novel regimen into current clinical management algorithms.
    • Recognize the incidence of tissue factor expression in patients with CC and other gynecologic cancers, and consider emerging pivotal research findings with and the potential role of tisotumab vedotin for recurrent CC.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for gynecologic cancers, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
