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.
In the first activity of this CME Outfitters podcast series on gynecologic cancers, expert faculty will present and discuss the very latest research on maintenance treatment of EC and how to assess its value for newly diagnosed patients and those with recurrent EC.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), PARP inhibitors, VEGF inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, and chemotherapy are all being used in various combinations for the treatment of endometrial and ovarian cancers. As these new combinations seek to further improve and enhance the efficacy of treatment, the risk of AEs increases. During this informational podcast, Dr. Richard Penson and Ms. Jennifer Filipi will educate clinicians on the prevention, mitigation, and management of AEs that arise from these new combination regimens.
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.
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.
During this podcast, sleep experts will be joined by a patient with narcolepsy who will share their experiences and insights. The candid discussion will include their diagnostic journey, experience with narcolepsy, and how their care team established treatment goals and measured treatment response over time. Additional patient case examples that require application of learned topics will also be discussed to better translate knowledge into practice.

Dr. Anne Marie Morse is the Director of Child Neurology and Pediatric Sleep Medicine at Geisinger, Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. She has significant clinical and research experience and interest in children, adolescents, and adults with sleep wake disorders, particularly central disorders of hypersomnolence. In addition, her research interests extend more broadly to include investigating the relationship between sleep and neurologic and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr Morse’s commitment to sleep health extends into the community. She has developed a school-based sleep education and surveillance program called Wake Up and Learn. This program was developed to provide education about sleep health and perform school-based sleep screening to improve recognition of pediatric sleep disorders in middle and high school students. It has now expanded to include learners in college, medical school, and medical residency programs with a clinical and health plan delivery, called Sleep to Be Well. Dr. Morse envisions a world where sleep can be acknowledged as the vital sign of health, wellness, and performance that it is designed to be.
