Understanding the Current Paradigm and New Approaches in the Care of Patients with Ovarian Cancer — Nursing Video Interview

Faculty

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 ovarian cancer.

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 ovarian cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced OC, and counsel appropriate individuals regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
• Assess available clinical trial data with and newly adapted indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive and multiregimen-refractory OC in order to optimally and appropriately incorporate these agents into current management algorithms.
• Evaluate the biological rationale for and published clinical research data with PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the current and future clinical and research implications of these findings.
• Appraise relevant biological, patient- and treatment-related factors to individualize the selection and sequencing of therapy for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrent OC.
• Appreciate the side effects associated with various systemic therapies commonly employed for OC, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients.
