CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical and gynecologic oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gynecologic cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for newly diagnosed and recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) to optimally incorporate these agents into patient care.
    • Appreciate the biological rationale for and published clinical research data with the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the implications of these findings for current and future OC management.
    • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha in OC, and determine optimal methods to test for and the current role of novel approaches to therapeutically exploit this newly relevant biomarker.
    • Consider available and emerging clinical research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC), and consider the current and future role of this novel strategy in the care of patients with microsatellite instability (MSI)-high/mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) and microsatellite-stable/mismatch repair-proficient disease.
    • Review the benefits observed with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy for MSI-high/dMMR EC, and integrate these agents into the care of appropriate patients with relapsed/refractory disease.
    • Recognize available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and select patients with metastatic EC for treatment with this novel approach.
    • Interrogate published efficacy and safety findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy with and without anti-VEGF therapy for patients with metastatic cervical cancer (CC), and consider the current and future role of immune checkpoint inhibition in the treatment of this disease.
    • Reflect on investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for OC, EC and CC, and refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
