program overview
Program Description
Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths among women, with a 5-year survival rate of only 30% in patients with advanced disease—the most common stage at diagnosis. One treatment approach that is improving these sobering odds is frontline maintenance therapy with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi's), which improves progression-free survival in women with Stage III-IV ovarian cancer following complete or partial response to frontline platinum-based chemotherapy. This is especially true for women with BRCA mutations or homologous recombination deficiency. In this interactive eCourse, two experts in gynecologic oncology explain key evidence supporting the role of PARP inhibition in frontline maintenance therapy, and use video vignettes to demonstrate the importance of collaborative management by the multidisciplinary team.
Format
Interactive, video-enhanced slide lecture
