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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Assess the clinical and biological characteristics of the various histologic subtypes and molecular subgroups of endometrial cancer, and consider the implications for prognosis and therapeutic decision-making.
  • Evaluate the importance of microsatellite instability (MSI) and mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency assessment in the management of endometrial cancer, and adapt current testing practices to optimally identify patients with corresponding genetic abnormalities.
  • 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, and educate patients with MSI-high/MMR-deficient or microsatellite-stable/MMR-proficient disease about this novel strategy.
  • Understand the biological rationale for and available data with PARP inhibitors in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer.
  • Recognize available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and select patients with metastatic endometrial cancer for this novel approach.
  • Recognize adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor-based approaches used in the treatment of endometrial cancer, in order to educate patients and manage complications.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical and gynecologic oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of ovarian and endometrial cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer (OC), and appropriately counsel patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for and published research data with PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies for advanced OC, and consider the clinical and research implications of these findings.
  • Recall the mechanism of action of and current research findings with antibody-drug conjugates directed at FRα, and optimally integrate these agents into the care of patients with recurrent OC.
  • 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 optimally incorporate this novel strategy into 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.
  • Recognize available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and select patients with metastatic EC for treatment with this novel approach.
  • Evaluate published clinical research documenting the efficacy of HER2-targeted agents and regimens for HER2-overexpressing OC and EC, and consider the role of various approaches in the care of patients with these diseases.
  • Describe the scientific justification for, published research with and ongoing studies of novel agents and strategies for OC and EC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.

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

  • Understand available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer (OC), and as appropriate, counsel patients 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 to optimally and appropriately incorporate these agents into management algorithms.
  • 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 and research implications of these findings for OC management.
  • Appraise relevant biological and patient- and treatment-related factors to individualize the selection and sequencing of therapy for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrent OC.
  • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα) in OC, and determine effective methods to test for this newly relevant biomarker.
  • Understand the mechanism of action of and current research findings with antibody-drug conjugates directed at FRα, and optimally integrate these agents into the care of patients with recurrent OC.
  • Appreciate side effects associated with various systemic therapies commonly employed in the management of OC, and use this information to develop supportive care plans for patients undergoing treatment with these agents.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for OC, and as appropriate, counsel patients about availability and participation.
