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 endometrial cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the importance of microsatellite instability (MSI) and DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency assessment for patients with endometrial cancer, and adapt current testing practices to optimally identify genetic abnormalities.
    • Review the benefits observed with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for MSI-high or MMR-deficient endometrial cancer, and appropriately integrate these agents into the care of patients.
    • Recognize the biologic rationale for and available data with the combination of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and select patients with metastatic endometrial cancer for this novel approach.
    • Design and implement a plan of care to manage side effects and toxicities associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapies for endometrial cancer in order to support quality of life and continuation of treatment.
    • Describe the scientific justification for and published research data with novel agents and strategies under investigation for endometrial cancer, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.
