CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider available clinical research findings with the use of PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer, and counsel appropriate patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
    • Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for recurrent, platinum-sensitive and multiregimen-refractory ovarian cancer to optimally incorporate these agents into patient care.
    • Appreciate the biologic rationale for and published clinical research data with the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider clinical and research implications of these findings for ovarian cancer management.
    • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha and sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2b (NaPi2b) in ovarian cancer, and consider research findings with and the role of novel approaches to therapeutically exploit these potential biomarkers.
    • Describe the scientific rationale for the use of tumor treating fields (TTFs) as a therapeutic approach for ovarian cancer, and appraise the available efficacy and safety data with TTFs in combination with chemotherapy for recurrent advanced disease.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for ovarian cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
    • Incidence and detection of germline and somatic BRCA mutations and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer; role of BRCA and HRD status in treatment decision-making for newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.
