B.J. Rimel, MD of Cedars Sinai Medical Center discusses the SGO 2016 highlights and trends from SGO 2016.
Transcription:
I think that the array of options. For testing whether it be genetic panel testing with multiple multiple genes. Or is it a ray of immunotherapy auctions are probably the two strongest trends I see here at this meeting. There's a lot of work that remains to be done to see how that's going to play out for patients I think that clinicians and providers. And patients need to be aware of these options before we run headlong into these be aware of the risks the benefits. The potential outcomes both good and bad I think clinical trials are incredibly valuable as we start all the stuff out elements are really appreciate all the patients that devote themselves to being on a clinical trial.

I think that we're going to continue become more multi disciplinary then we have been. Gynecologic oncology is. Expanding in the types of people that are practicing it medical oncologist being included in our society pharmacist nurse. Shares position of. Students. Our frozen residents I think it's just an incredibly expanding field and I think that that's going to be a wonderful opportunity for us to draw on the experiences of other disciplines to help better treat our.
B.J. Rimel, MD of Cedars Sinai Medical Center discusses the high number of uterine and BRCA mutations from study focusing on endometrial cancer patients from SGO 2016.
Transcription:
There is another abstract by doctor ring that looked at and unselected cohort of individual cancer patients that have been panel tested and soon there some pretty remarkable findings from. Paper I specifically that there were urine cancers that had opposed. Surprisingly high number of mutations that were previously unknowns there there are some recommendations in their serious cancers which is really interesting more data will be very valuable and try to figure out what that means for patients.
B.J. Rimel, MD of Cedars Sinai Medical Center discusses the future clinical trials in ovarian cancer from SGO 2016.
Transcription:
In terms of future clinical trials. There we are selecting more clinical trials based on. Known genetic predispositions be RCA. The potential response to platinum potential response to part now being a sort of thing that we're looking at. So all of these panel testings are going to lead us down different pathways and so that does make us help a stratified patients for future study for clinical trials. Probably the direction I see that going on right now.
