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 ovarian cancer.

    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 ovarian cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand the importance of genetic testing for women with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer (OC), and counsel patients regarding the clinical relevance of related testing results.
    • Appreciate published research findings with the use of PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced OC, and use this information to explain personalized treatment recommendations to patients.
    • Evaluate available clinical trial results with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive and multiregimen-refractory OC.
    • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha in OC, and consider emerging research findings with and the potential role of novel agents attempting to exploit this biomarker for patients with advanced disease.
    • Assess the toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors and other novel agents used for OC, and offer patients supportive management strategies to minimize and ameliorate these side effects.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with OC, and counsel appropriate individuals about availability and participation.
