Statement of Need

Patient prognosis for endometrial cancer (EC) is highly benefited by molecular profiling, and national and international guidelines robustly recommend its integration into practice. Characterization of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status identifies clinically significant molecular subtypes. This information assists clinicians in creating treatment plans tailored to specific tumor phenotypes and individual needs, including those patients with advanced and recurrent EC. Despite ringing endorsements and clear clinical applications, however, molecular profiling remains underutilized due to logistical challenges and a lack of clinician confidence. It is imperative that clinicians, in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team (MDT), become knowledgeable about this exciting technique and utilize it to enhance treatment decisions for patients.

In this CE Concepts enduring webcast, expert faculty will guide learners through integration of appropriate, guideline-directed molecular profiling strategies in the EC risk assessment and treatment decision process. Faculty will also assess the latest efficacy and safety data for the treatment of EC with learners and develop guideline-concordant and patient-specific therapeutic plans for patients with newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent EC that incorporate MDT collaboration strategies.

Learning Objectives

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

  • Integrate appropriate, guideline-directed molecular profiling strategies in the EC risk assessment and treatment decision process
  • Assess the latest efficacy and safety data for the treatment of EC factoring in updates to guidelines
  • Develop a guideline-concordant and patient-specific therapeutic plan for patients with newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent EC utilizing MDT collaboration strategies
