Expert Second Opinion: Investigators Provide Perspectives on the Best-Practice Management of Ovarian Cancer — Microlearning Activities — Microlearning Activity 3

Faculty

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Appraise biological and patient- and treatment-related factors to individualize the selection and sequencing of therapy for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer (OC).
• Appreciate available clinical research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy for patients with platinum-resistant OC, and consider the current role of this novel therapeutic strategy.
• Understand the biological justification for the evaluation of selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators in combination with chemotherapy for patients with platinum-resistant OC, and recall available and emerging Phase III findings with this novel approach.
• Recognize adverse events associated with therapeutic approaches commonly employed for OC, and implement strategies to educate patients and manage complications.
• Describe the scientific justification for, published research data with and current research studies of novel agents and strategies for OC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.
