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 OC, and counsel patients about the clinical relevance of test results.
    • Appreciate published research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced OC, and use this insight to explain personalized treatment recommendations to patients.
    • Evaluate available clinical trial results with and approved indications for PARP inhibitors and agents targeting folate receptor alpha for patients with recurrent OC.
    • Recognize the rationale for targeting sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2b in OC, and consider available research findings with and the potential role of novel approaches to therapeutically exploit this biomarker.
    • Describe the scientific rationale for the use of tumor treating fields as a therapeutic approach for patients with OC, and appraise the available efficacy and safety data with this strategy in combination with chemotherapy for recurrent, advanced disease.
    • Assess the toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors and other novel agents for OC, and offer patients supportive management strategies to minimize and ameliorate these side effects.
