CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of cervical and endometrial cancers.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with cervical and endometrial cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand the importance of microsatellite instability (MSI) and mismatch repair (MMR) assessment in endometrial cancer (EC), and adapt current testing practices to optimally identify patients with MSI-high or MMR-deficient disease.
    • Recognize the benefits observed with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy for MSI-high or MMR-deficient EC, and integrate these agents into patient care.
    • Appreciate available research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent EC, and consider the potential role of this strategy in the care of patients with MSI-high/MMR-deficient and MMR-proficient disease.
    • Review the biologic rationale for combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and counsel patients about the effectiveness of this novel strategy for advanced EC that is not MSI high or MMR deficient.
    • Evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for metastatic cervical cancer (CC), and educate patients about the benefits and risks of these approaches.
    • Describe the scientific justification for, published data with and toxicity profiles of agents and strategies under investigation for EC or CC, and use this information to discuss clinical trial opportunities for patients.
