Recognizing and Addressing the Elephant in the Room: Multidisciplinary Strategies to Mitigate Disparities in Ovarian Cancer Patients

Expert faculty for this 30-minute webinar will include perspectives from a patient, a medical oncologist, and an oncology nurse. This webinar will focus on both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors to both guideline-recommended genetic testing and access to appropriate treatment for testing. Strategies to increase patient shared decision-making, communication, and multidisciplinary collaboration will be explored.

Target Audience

Gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists, and other members of the healthcare team who manage patients with ovarian cancer.

Learning Objectives

  • Review risk factors to guideline‐recommended genetic testing and treatment in ovarian cancer, including access to care, race, comorbidities, socioeconomic factors, education, and insurance status.
  • Evaluate challenging ovarian cancer cases focusing on key health equity issues and strategies that the multidisciplinary team can employ to help mitigate modifiable healthcare disparities in their patients.

Supported through an independent educational grant from GlaxoSmithKline.
