Data from recent clinical trials for first-line combination options using immunotherapies for ovarian cancer (OC) can be challenging for clinicians with no experience selecting patients for combinatorial treatment approaches or using combination therapies for their patients. During this podcast, Drs. Richard Penson and Ramez Eskander will educate clinicians on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of OC and the use of biomarker analyses to optimize patient selection.
