CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for gynecologic oncologists, gynecologists, medical oncology fellows, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other healthcare providers 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

    • Assess potential biomarkers of response to PARP inhibition, appraise guideline recommendations and consensus statements regarding the indications for and practical implementation of genetic testing in ovarian cancer, and use the results of these assessments in long-term treatment planning.
    • Recognize homologous recombination deficiency as a unique biologic entity, understand how it is measured with commercially available assays, and consider the clinical implications for patients with ovarian cancer.
    • Evaluate available data with olaparib and with niraparib as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced ovarian cancer harboring a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA germline or somatic mutation, and provide appropriate counseling on personalized treatment recommendations.
    • Consider the current role of niraparib as maintenance therapy in the first-line setting for patients with advanced ovarian cancer without BRCA mutations, and identify individuals for whom treatment with this strategy may be appropriate.
    • Appreciate available clinical trial data with olaparib/bevacizumab as first-line maintenance therapy for patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer responding after first-line platinum/taxane chemotherapy with bevacizumab, in order to determine the role of this novel approach in clinical practice.
    • Compare and contrast the toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors commonly used in therapy for ovarian cancer, and understand the supportive management strategies available to minimize or ameliorate these side effects.
