CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of cervical and endometrial cancers.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with cervical and endometrial cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand the importance of microsatellite instability (MSI) testing for patients with endometrial cancer, and describe the benefits observed with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for MSI-high or mismatch repair deficient disease.
    • Review the biologic rationale for combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and counsel patients regarding the effectiveness of this novel strategy for advanced, recurrent endometrial cancer that is not MSI high or mismatch repair deficient.
    • Evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with metastatic cervical cancer, and use this information to educate patients about the benefits and risks associated with these approaches.
    • Recognize the incidence of tissue factor expression in patients with cervical cancer, and consider the current role of novel agents designed to exploit this therapeutic target.
    • Assess the toxicities associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and other novel agents used for the treatment of cervical or endometrial cancer, and offer patients supportive management strategies to minimize and ameliorate these side effects.
    • Describe the scientific justification for, published research data with and toxicity profiles of novel agents and strategies under investigation for endometrial or cervical cancer, and use this information to discuss clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.
