Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Individualized Patient Care - Endometrial Cancer
Optimizing the Care of Endometrial Cancer - Minimally Invasive Surgery and Systemic Therapy
Minimally invasive surgical techniques for endometrial cancers, particularly robotic-assisted laparoscopy, have been shown to decrease surgical morbidity and improve 30-day postoperative outcomes for appropriately selected patients with endometrial cancer. Despite evidence of improved outcomes, disparities persist in awareness of and access to minimally invasive surgery. Additionally, multiple modalities of systemic therapy can be employed in the treatment of endometrial cancer. Education is required to keep clinicians informed of the appropriate regimens and treatment settings for using chemotherapy, hormone therapy, biologics, and/or immunotherapy.
Target Audience
This program is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.
Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe minimally invasive surgical techniques used for treating endometrial cancers.
- Discuss the impact of minimally invasive surgery on patient outcomes.
- Summarize how different types of systemic therapy can be utilized for treating endometrial cancers.

NCCN Medical Education Disclosure Policy
It is the policy of NCCN that every 12 months, all faculty, moderators, activity planners and all internal planning staff participating in NCCN continuing education activities are expected to disclose any financial relationships with a commercial interest as defined by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Standards for Commercial Support. In addition, all faculty presentations have been reviewed for adherence to the ACCME’s Standards for Commercial Support (the provider develops activities/educational interventions independent of commercial interests [SCS 1, 2 and 6] by experts on the topics).
Per the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, individuals who do not disclose relevant financial relationships will be disqualified from involvement in the CE activity as a content developer, planner, or presenter. A complete list of individuals’ relationships with external entities is available upon request.
Definitions
NCCN continuing education considers financial relationships to create a “conflict of interest” when an individual has both a financial relationship with a commercial interest and the opportunity to affect CE content about the products or services of a commercial interest with which he/she and/or a spouse or partner has a financial relationship.
NCCN continuing education considers “relevant financial relationships” as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest. NCCN does not set a minimal dollar amount for relationships to be significant. Inherent in any amount is the incentive to maintain or increase the value of the relationship.
Faculty Disclaimers
All faculty for this continuing education activity are competent in the subject matter and qualified by experience, training, and/or preparation for the tasks and methods of delivery.
