Expiration Date: August 31, 2024
Activity Description:
Ovarian cancer is a less common type of cancer but one of the deadliest. Diagnoses at a more advanced stage are typical and associated with significantly worse outcomes. Poor outcomes are exacerbated by healthcare disparities associated with ovarian cancer and patient-reported communication challenges.
A series of three succinct clinical cases – written by a practicing gynecologic oncologist – will allow you to choose appropriate testing, select treatment, and assess adverse events, with insight and guidance on decisions and management provided by expert faculty after each case.
Learning Objective:
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
• Apply current guideline recommendations for genetic testing and treatment to improve the health outcomes of women with epithelial ovarian cancer
• Identify key clinical trial information that can be utilized in the treatment decision-making process (endpoints, patient population, outcomes, adverse event profile, etc)
• Identify tools to improve clinician-patient communication and the care of women with epithelial ovarian cancer
