Statement of Need

Recent advances in the treatment of gynecologic cancers are promising, and education is needed to ensure that both oncology and primary care clinicians, including OB/GYNs, have a thorough knowledge of biomarkers, current and emerging therapies, and how the latest clinical trial data translates to real-world practice. In particular, the multidisciplinary healthcare team must develop strategies for treating endometrial cancer amid the expanding options, including utilizing molecular testing and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in front-line advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer.

In the third activity of this CME Outfitters podcast series on gynecologic cancers, expert faculty will present and discuss the very latest research on treatment of endometrial cancer (EC), including strategies that utilize molecular testing and ICI therapies.

Learning Objectives

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

  • Develop treatment strategies that utilize ICI therapies for newly diagnosed EC

Financial Support

Supported by independent educational grants from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals and Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.

Target Audience

Gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists, physician associates (PAs), nurses, nurse practitioners (NPs), and pharmacists
