CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  These activities have been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of gynecologic 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 gynecologic cancers.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Consider the FDA approvals of olaparib and niraparib as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer (OC), and counsel patients with and without BRCA mutations regarding appropriate treatment recommendations.
  • Recognize the toxicities associated with the various commercially available PARP inhibitors commonly used in the care of patients with OC, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize and ameliorate these side effects.
  • Understand the importance of microsatellite instability (MSI) testing for patients with endometrial cancer, and identify the benefits observed with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for MSI-high or mismatch repair-deficient disease.
  • Discuss the efficacy of pembrolizumab in combination with lenvatinib, recognize the toxicities associated with this combination in the management of advanced, recurrent endometrial cancer, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize and ameliorate these side effects.
  • Consider the potential role of the novel agent tisotumab vedotin in exploiting tissue factor expression in patients with cervical cancer.
  • Appraise clinical research findings supporting the efficacy of anti-PD-1 monotherapy for patients with progressing PD-L1-positive cervical cancer.
  • Assess the toxicities associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and other novel agents used to manage gynecologic cancers, and offer patients supportive management strategies to minimize and ameliorate these side effects.
