PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This case-based online activity will help gynecologists and medical oncologists improve the timeliness of screening for women at risk for cervical cancer and the accuracy of diagnosis; and recognize the limitations of currently available regimens for recurrent and metastatic disease. The education will also seek to expand awareness of the integral role that the immune system plays in the pathology of cervical cancer and how IO agents in late-stage development for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer potentially could be integrated into practice once available.

This initiative is intended for gynecologists and medical oncologists who would screen for cervical cancer and treat patients with gynecologic malignancies, including cervical cancer.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Overcome barriers to timely screening and diagnosis of women with cervical cancer
- Review the current systemic therapies for the patient with recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer and their limitations
- Discuss the immune dysfunction that contributes to the tumorigenesis of recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer
- Explain the evolving data for the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer
