My Treatment Approach: Metastatic Endometrial Cancer

Drs Kathleen Moore and David O’Malley share their perspectives on the incidence and prognosis of mEC, including mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) disease, and then review a scenario of a patient with dMMR mEC who was treated with first-line carboplatin/paclitaxel.

Expert oncologists discuss the patient’s first-line treatment plan and comment on how they would have approached her care.

Comprehensive discussion on patient counseling, and treatment goals, and expectations for those beginning first-line chemotherapy for dMMR metastatic endometrial cancer.

Drs Moore and O’Malley discuss the second-line and higher targeted treatment options that they’d consider for patients with mEC who develop recurrent disease on or after chemotherapy.

Experts discuss ongoing clinical trials focused on moving second-line and higher targeted therapies, including immunotherapy, into the frontline setting for mEC, and then comment on how these advances might impact treatment paradigms and patient outcomes.

Shared insight into novel biomarkers and potential drug targets being explored for treatment of metastatic endometrial cancer.

Before closing out their conversation on endometrial cancer, Kathleen Moore and David O’Malley summarize unmet needs in the field and share a few clinical pearls on managing patients with the disease.
