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 addition to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies, other emerging therapies for endometrial cancer (EC) are generating promising data, including novel immunotherapies, HER2 inhibitors, and bispecific antibodies.  Members of the multidisciplinary care team who care for patients with EC need to know about emerging therapies that are poised to change practice patterns.

In the second activity of this CME Outfitters podcast series on gynecologic cancers, Drs. Richard Penson and Matthew Powell will present and discuss the very latest research on emerging treatment options for EC.

Learning Objectives

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

  • Identify the role of agents with novel mechanisms of action (MOAs) in the treatment of EC
