Actionable Opportunities for Molecularly Classified Endometrial Cancers

Statement of Need

Multiple clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of endometrial cancer (EC) recommend consideration of molecular testing, particularly for high-grade tumors. Yet despite its prognostic value, molecular classification is not always a part of standard risk assessment in EC. Clinical uptake has been highly variable, particularly in limited-resource areas, even though recent data shows molecular classification has value in therapeutic decision-making and is prognostic for treatment response in EC. Lack of clinical uptake has resulted in overtreatment of some EC patients and undertreatment of others.

During this informational podcast, leading national endometrial cancer experts, Drs. Richard Penson and Matthew Powell, will discuss molecular classification of EC and the clinical data supporting its value in EC care.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

Identify the therapeutic implications of molecular classification on immuno-oncology therapeutic approaches for advanced or recurrent EC

Financial Support

Supported by a joint educational grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals and Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.

Target Audience

Primary Audiences: Medical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists, physician assistants (PAs), nurses, nurse practitioners (NPs), and pharmacists working in oncology settings
Secondary Audiences: Gynecologists and primary care physicians (PCPs)
