Despite the impact on women’s health worldwide, significant unmet needs exist in the diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic cancers. Located in the female reproductive system, many have a reputation for being “silent,” as they are often detected in later stages when treatment options are limited.
However, the recent introduction of novel medicines — targeted therapies in particular — has led to improvements in patient care and uncovered new research opportunities, creating a competitive research environment. With investment in research on the rise, investigators face challenges in patient identification, site selection, and an ever-changing regulatory landscape.
Join Premier Research experts for this webinar on the challenges and opportunities within gynecologic cancer research.
