Video Summary

The webinar on Emerging Data in Platinum-Resistant Advanced Ovarian Cancer, hosted by IGCS and supported by ImmuneGen, provided insights into optimizing patient care in gynecological oncology. Dr. O'Malley and Dr. Martin discussed the use of platinum doublets and maintenance therapies in both platinum-sensitive and resistant settings. They emphasized the importance of early testing for biomarkers such as HRD and BRCA, as well as folate receptor alpha expression, to guide treatment decisions. The discussion also touched on the efficacy and management of Mervatoximab in patients with high folate receptor expression, highlighting the need for individualized approaches based on patient characteristics and treatment responses. The session concluded with a focus on patient education regarding potential treatment toxicities and the ongoing pursuit of improved therapeutic options in ovarian cancer care.
