Program Overview
Program Description
Endometrial cancer (EC), also known as uterine or corpus cancer, is the fourth most common gynecologic malignancy overall. In contrast to other solid tumors, the incidence of EC is rising. This is thought to be related to the increasing incidence of obesity, which is tightly linked to EC. Patients with EC who are diagnosed with early-stage disease can potentially achieve a survival rate of over 80%. Despite a high survival rate and potential cure for women whose EC is diagnosed early, racial minorities continue to have poor outcomes. In this activity, Shannon Westin, MD, MPH provides expert recommendations on how to manage patients with EC, including how to address and overcome healthcare disparities. Dr Westin also discusses how to stratify patients based on risk factors using tumor histology, and molecular testing recommendations using mismatch repair protein immunohistochemistry and gene mutation burden with microsatellite instability assays. In addition, this interactive video lecture uses patient case scenarios to illustrate an expert’s approach at formulating treatment recommendations for patients with advanced or recurrent disease and planning evidence-based approaches for mitigating side effects of novel therapies. Watch to the end to hear Dr Westin answer audience questions about prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
