Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: Management of Recurrent/Metastatic Cervical Cancer and Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Cervix
The management of cervical cancer specific to histology, stage, and setting has changed tremendously, and a review of new/latest data is important and helpful for the practitioners in treatment decision-making. As immunotherapies are revolutionizing the treatment landscape, the systemic therapy section of the NCCN Guidelines® for Cervical Cancer has drastically evolved over the past few years to reflect new approvals and indications. Knowledge of this topic will guide the practitioners in appropriately prioritizing these new treatment options to further improve patient outcomes. The management of different histotypes of cervical cancer is also changing with emerging treatment options. The NCCN Guidelines for Cervical Cancer include distinct treatment guidelines for neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix, a rare type of cervical cancer. Clinicians can benefit from continued education on comparing treatment options to best manage different histological types of cervical cancer.
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians/oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.
Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:
- Review the relevant practice changing results from recent clinical studies for cervical cancer.
- Describe approaches for treatment decision-making for patients with stage IV/metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer and how to strategize systemic treatment options as first- and second-line therapies.
- Discuss the NCCN recommended treatment options for small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix.
