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 gynecologic cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for the use of FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for newly diagnosed and recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) in order to optimally incorporate these agents into patient care.
    • Appreciate the biologic rationale for and published clinical research with the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the current and potential clinical and research implications of these findings on OC management.
    • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha and sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2b (NaPi2b) for OC, and consider available and emerging research findings with and the potential role of novel approaches to therapeutically exploit these biomarkers.
    • Review the benefits observed with the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for advanced microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient endometrial cancer (EC), and integrate these agents into the care of appropriate patients.
    • Consider the biologic rationale for and available data with the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and select patients with metastatic EC ideal for treatment with this novel approach.
    • Evaluate published efficacy and safety findings with the use of anti-PD-1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy for metastatic cervical cancer (CC), and consider the current and future roles of immune checkpoint inhibition in the treatment of this disease.
    • Recognize the incidence of tissue factor expression in patients with CC, and assess the current and future roles of novel agents designed to exploit this therapeutic target.
    • Reflect on investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for OC, EC and CC, and refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
