ISS VI:Cases from the Community: Investigators Discuss Available Research Guiding the Care of Patients with Ovarian Cancers

Supported by: This activity is supported by educational grants from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, GSK, ImmunoGen Inc, Merck, Mersana Therapeutics Inc, and Novocure Inc.

CME accredited by Research To Practice.

Date: Sunday, March 26, 11:45am-1:15pm, hot lunch buffet offered 30 minutes prior

Location: Ballroom B – Level 1 (Tampa Convention Center)

Description:

This CME symposium will focus on the current and future management of ovarian cancer. Dr. Neil Love and his CME group, Research To Practice (RTP), have invited four clinical investigators to serve as faculty for this program and one of these participating faculty will also serve as the program moderator. In addition, 3 US-based community-based general gynecologic and medical oncologists will participate in a one-on-one interview with Dr. Love during which they present current cases from their practices for which they would seek input or a second opinion from clinical investigators.  Excerpts from each video recorded interview will be selected for presentation during the program.

The agenda for the symposium will be divided into four modules. To begin each module, the moderator will introduce select video excerpts from the recorded case presentations and ask the other faculty members to comment on the treatment decision-making for the case presented. The faculty members will also be called upon to reflect on the own clinical experiences caring for similar patients and their interpretation of available data. Following these discussions, each faculty will deliver a presentation focused on reviewing relevant scientific knowledge, data sets and research related to the topics and cases under review.

To make the event even more relevant, both in-person and virtual attendees will be able to participate in surveys related to the topics and cases that will be discussed. Clinicians will also be encouraged to submit additional questions as well as their own cases via the networked iPads in the meeting room or via our Zoom virtual platform.
