Expert Second Opinion: Investigators Provide Perspectives on the Best-Practice Management of Ovarian Cancer — Microlearning Activities — Microlearning Activity 2

Faculty

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows 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.
• Recognize the rationale for targeting FRα in ovarian cancer, and understand the mechanism of action of and available research findings with FRα-directed antibody-drug conjugates.
• Recognize adverse events associated with therapeutic approaches commonly employed for ovarian cancer, 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 ovarian cancer, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.
