🔬 IN THIS VIDEO:
This educational seminar was hosted by the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA) on April 9th, featuring two leading gynecologic oncology experts. Dr. Ann Klopp is a radiation oncologist at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ‪@mdanderson‬ specializing in gynecologic cancers. Dr. Ramez Eskander is a gynecologic oncologist at UC San Diego Health Moores Cancer Center ‪@UCSDHealth‬ focused on precision medicine approaches.

The discussion covers critical information for endometrial cancer patients and caregivers, including how genetic and biomarker testing shape treatment decisions, emerging targeted therapies, immunotherapy advances, and navigating clinical trial options. Both doctors answered live questions from attendees, addressing real patient concerns about diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.

This event was made possible with support from AstraZeneca and Merck.
