Statement of Need

The reduced incidence of cervical cancer over the past few decades was primarily due to robust screening guidelines and vaccinations. However, despite the proliferation of screening programs, the diagnosis of cervical cancer is associated with inefficiencies and inconsistencies and has not decreased cervical cancer incidence further over the past decade. Additionally, numerous health care disparities persist as unaddressed medical needs, particularly for individuals with marginalized sexualities and genders. An exciting array of new immunotherapy options are further emerging for patients with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer, with promising potential to heighten treatment effectiveness. It is imperative that clinicians and the multidisciplinary care team are appraised on these novel therapies and are conscious of health care disparities and unique patient needs.

In this CE Concepts recorded webcast, expert faculty will guide learners on the implementation of recommended, inclusive, and universal screening techniques and programs for cervical cancer. Faculty will also evaluate the latest efficacy and safety data in different settings for the treatment of cervical cancer as well as incorporate actionable strategies to address disparities and the unique health care of individuals with marginalized sexualities and genders related to cervical cancer screening.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

  • Implement recommended, inclusive, and universal screening techniques and programs for cervical cancer
  • Evaluate the latest efficacy and safety data in different settings for the treatment of cervical cancer
  • Incorporate actionable strategies to address disparities and unique health care needs of individuals with marginalized sexualities and genders related to cancer screening
