Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical and gynecologic oncologists, gynecologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gynecologic cancers.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to
- Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for newly diagnosed and recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) in order to optimally incorporate these agents into the care of appropriate patients.
- Evaluate the biological rationale for and published research data with PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the current and future clinical implications of these findings for OC management.
- Appreciate available clinical research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC), and consider the role of this novel strategy in the care of patients with microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair-deficient and microsatellite-stable/mismatch repair-proficient disease.
- Understand the biological rationale for and available data with PARP inhibitors in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for patients with advanced or metastatic EC.
- Interrogate published efficacy and safety findings with anti-PD-1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy with and without anti-VEGF therapy for metastatic cervical cancer (CC), and consider the current and future role of immune checkpoint inhibition in treatment for patients with this disease.
- Recall published clinical research documenting the efficacy of HER2-targeted agents and regimens for patients with HER2-overexpressing OC, EC and CC, and consider the role of various approaches in the management of these diseases.
- Reflect on investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for OC, EC and CC, and, where applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
