    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha in ovarian cancer, and consider available research findings with and the potential role of novel approaches that therapeutically exploit this biomarker.

    • Appreciate the incidence of sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2b in patients with ovarian cancer, and discern how novel therapies targeting this biomarker may be beneficial in the treatment of progressive disease.
    • Compare and contrast the toxicities associated with novel agents under development for ovarian cancer, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize or ameliorate these side effects.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for ovarian cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
