Addressing the Challenges of Ovarian Cancer

Interactive Video Lecture

Advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer is associated with poor prognosis, and most women with this disease are diagnosed at an advanced stage. In addition, a high rate of recurrence and diminished effectiveness of chemotherapy with each round of treatment helps make ovarian cancer the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women. The discovery of BRCA mutations and other homologous recombination repair deficiencies, and the subsequent approval of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition for ovarian cancer has changed the treatment paradigm for this disease, with emerging data, guideline updates, new global approvals, and expanded indications occurring frequently. This activity provides expert advice on how to recognize genetic factors that impact patient outcomes, incorporate PARP inhibitor therapy into clinical practice, and manage adverse events related to therapy for optimal treatment outcomes in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
