40. Advanced Endometrial Cancer

It is always nice to be able to say the phrase: "This cancer has an excellent prognosis." That is the case with endometrial cancer, which for the majority of sufferers, can be cured and carries an excellent survival. However, there are cases that unfortunately present late, and for these patients, the outlook is significantly more grim.Some oncologists have little experience treating advanced endometrial cancer; for those listeners, this episode is specifically for you! In our 40th episode, Josh will discuss the foundations of endometrial cancer treatment, a topic that is vital but very boring, much like Josh himself. Michael will discuss the new frontier of immunotherapy in dMMR endometrial cancer, something that is transformative and very exciting but also unfortunately irrelevant to the majority of patients, much like Michael.Links to studies discussed in this episode (subscription may be required):GOG0209: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7676887/RUBY: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2216334For more episodes, resources and blog posts, visit www.inquisitiveonc.comFind us on Twitter @InquisitiveOnc!If you want us to look at a specific trial or subject, email us at [email protected] courtesy of Taryn SilverMusic courtesy of Music Unlimited: https://pixabay.com/users/music_unlimited-27600023/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.
