BCOP Updates 2024: Updates in the Management of Ovarian and Endometrial Cancers
In recent years, there have been significant changes in the treatment landscape for ovarian and endometrial cancers. This presentation will focus on practice-changing updates, as well as future areas of interest. In ovarian cancer, the role of PARP inhibitors has shifted based on long-term follow-up data. We will review updated efficacy and safety outcomes, as well as current indications for PARP inhibitors. Approval of the novel therapy mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx has provided a valuable line of therapy in ovarian cancer in the recurrent platinum-resistant setting. We will review its mechanism of action, dosing, side effects, and monitoring, as well as the efficacy and safety data which led to its approval. In endometrial cancer, recent data has led to the approval of immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy; the role of immunotherapy in recurrent endometrial cancer and the results of NRG-GY018 will be reviewed, as well as long-term follow-up from the KEYNOTE-775 study. Lastly, the presentation will discuss ongoing studies in risk stratification and the role of molecular testing in endometrial cancer, which may in the future lead to a more tailored approach to adjuvant therapy.
