CME: Best practice in the systemic treatment of advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer
Activity Description / Statement of Need:
In this online, self-learning activity:
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and the fourth most common cancer in women living in the United States, with approximately 66,000 cancers of the uterine corpus diagnosed every year and over 12,000 associated deaths. The vast majority of women are diagnosed with endometrial cancer after the age of 50, and risk factors are obesity, level of physical activity, increasing age, and the presence of a variety of comorbid, chronic health conditions. The costs associated with endometrial cancer may amount to tens of thousands of dollars per patient, depending on the stage of disease upon diagnosis. The five-year survival rate for patients with localized disease is 95%, but survival rates drop to 18% in patients with advanced disease, one in ten patients is diagnosed with distant cancer, representing an area of ongoing clinical need.
Target Audience:
HCPs including: medical, including gynecologic, oncologists; physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists who practice in oncology; and other clinicians who commonly encounter patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
Commercial Support Disclosure: This program is supported by an educational grant from Merck.
This activity is free of charge.
