CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appreciate the prevalence and relevance of HER2 amplification/overexpression in various gynecologic cancers, and consider the implications for biomarker assessment and clinical management.
    • Evaluate published research findings with established HER2-targeted therapies for patients with HER2-positive gynecologic cancers, and assess the current role of various agents and regimens.
    • Recall available data with novel HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates for HER2-positive ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancers, and optimally integrate these agents into the care of appropriately selected patients.
    • Appraise the side effects associated with various HER2-directed therapies commonly employed in the care of patients with gynecologic cancers, and use this information to develop supportive therapeutic plans for those undergoing treatment with these agents or regimens.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel HER2-directed agents and strategies for advanced HER2-positive gynecologic cancers, and counsel appropriately selected patients about availability and participation.
