2nd Annual Chicago GYN Oncology Updates

May 13, 2022

Chicago GYN Oncology Updates will celebrate the 2021-2022 theme of the SGO presidency of Dr. Diane Yamada, “Building Bridges and Breaking Barriers” by providing access to the most important educational and scientific updates for women’s healthcare professionals from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer. It will include information and resources for members of the entire gynecologic cancer care team who provide treatment and care in the areas of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. This highly interactive activity will provide participants with distillations of advances in the fields of ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and cervical cancer including options for treatment for women with ovarian cancer after progression on PARP inhibitors and appropriate use of new therapies such as antibody-drug conjugates and immunotherapy/antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor combinations. Information on appropriate use and applications of genomic testing in GYN sarcomas will also be presented. The most recent updates on efforts to improve health equity will be presented. In addition, the critical importance of clinical research will be highlighted with presentations of Chicago area investigator-initiated trials in order to foster ongoing collaborations.
