CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of endometrial cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the importance of microsatellite instability (MSI) and mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency assessment for patients with endometrial cancer, and adapt current testing practices to effectively identify individuals with these genetic abnormalities.
    • Appreciate available and emerging research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, and consider the current and potential role of this novel strategy in the care of patients with MSI-high/MMR-deficient or microsatellite stable/MMR-proficient disease.
    • Review the benefits observed with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy for MSI-high/MMR-deficient endometrial cancer, and appropriately integrate these agents into the care of 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 endometrial cancer for this novel therapeutic approach.
    • Understand the biological rationale for and available and emerging data with PARP inhibitors in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer.
    • Evaluate published clinical research documenting the efficacy of HER2-targeted agents and regimens in patients with HER2-overexpressing endometrial cancer, and consider the role of various approaches in disease management.
    • Describe the scientific justification for, published research data with and current studies evaluating novel agents and strategies for endometrial cancer, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.
