Agenda

Agenda

Each 1-hour session will include 5 topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for gynecologic cancers. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
  • Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
  • Review of available clinical research findings
  • Community oncologist case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

    Module 1: Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Monotherapy for Metastatic Endometrial Cancer

    Module 2: Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Combination with Other Systemic Therapies for Metastatic Endometrial Cancer

    Module 3: Current Indications for and Future Role of Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Antibodies in Cervical Cancer

    Module 4: Investigative Approaches with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for Ovarian Cancer

    Module 5: Other Novel Agents and Strategies in Gynecologic Cancers

CE Information

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 immune checkpoint inhibitors in the management of ovarian cancer (OC), endometrial cancer (EC) and cervical cancer (CC), and identify patients who may be eligible for this strategy as part of a clinical research study or outside of a protocol setting.
  • Recognize the importance of microsatellite instability (MSI) testing for patients with OC, EC and CC, and identify the benefits observed with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for MSI-high (MSI-H) disease.
  • Appraise the clinical research supporting the FDA approval of anti-PD-1 monotherapy for progressive PD-L1-positive metastatic CC, and counsel appropriate patients about the risks and potential benefits of this approach.
  • Recall available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for MSI-H and microsatellite-stable recurrent EC, and appreciate ongoing research attempting to further define the role of these agents in this disease.
  • 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 have experienced disease progression after systemic therapy but are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation therapy in order to 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 the potential role of novel agents designed to exploit this therapeutic target.
  • Review the mechanisms of action, emerging efficacy data and toxicity profiles of novel targeted agents under investigation in OC, CC and EC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.

CME Credit Form
CME and ABIM MOC credit form links will be emailed to each participant within 5 business days of the activity.
