TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gynecologic cancers.

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2017, 22,440 new cases of ovarian cancer (OC) will be diagnosed in the United States and 14,080 individuals will die of the disease. For this reason significant financial and intellectual resources have been invested over the past few decades in attempts to better understand the natural history of the disease, identify genetic and other factors responsible for its proliferation and develop novel therapies with the potential to significantly improve outcomes for patients, ultimately culminating in — among other things — a number of clinical trials attempting to document the efficacy of various PARP inhibitors across multiple rational OC populations. Given the significant number of clinical and research questions created by the introduction of PARP inhibitors in the OC treatment milieu and the rapidly expanding database surrounding PARP inhibition in general, clinicians must be aware of emerging data and available protocols so that they may effectively counsel their patients.

These video proceedings from a CME symposium held during the Society of Gynecologic Oncology’s 2017 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer feature discussions with leading researchers with an expertise in gynecologic oncology. By providing information on the latest research developments and their potential application to routine practice, this activity is designed to assist gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists and other healthcare providers with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies for OC.
