Recent data has led to a debate of the most effective maintenance strategy for advanced OC. Emerging data utilizing novel approaches to maintenance both further complicates the debate and sheds new light on novel effective strategies for maintenance therapy for advanced OC, leaving clinicians struggling to adopt appropriate strategies. In order to ensure that clinical decisions align with the latest emerging data regarding maintenance therapy in OC, Drs. Richard Penson and Kathleen Moore will educate clinicians on the role of biomarkers in OC, incorporation of genetic testing, and interpretation of results as part of clinical practice.

To help bridge this significant practice gap, educational interventions for both clinicians and patients are being offered nationwide, including this unique CME activity for health care providers titled, Now More Than Ever: A Mycophenolate REMS Escape Room Challenge. This interactive, escape room format provides engaging reminders to counsel and follow up with all persons of childbearing potential about the contraindication of mycophenolate in pregnancy. While these challenges are intended to be a fun way to learn and retain information, the subject matter underscores a serious health imperative.
