Notas del editor
Patients: 1) are so very grateful for their care, 2) want to continue to be an integral part of the annual meeting, and 3) want to make sure we’re ok.
The highlight was the bravery of the endometrial cancer survivor who stood up in that huge auditorium after the LBAs to express her gratitude (chills and tears).
Purpose: The Future of the Profession - leadership is important for the future of Gyn Onc; we are all leaders; “if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu”; “you can’t leave change to chance”; Ted Witherall - find your why/your shift (meàwe)/how to follow; Victor Dzau - physicians and scientists can influence our future through influential advisory groups (e.g. NAM); Shaughnessy Naughton – we, physicians and scientists, need to support science-based campaigns, we cannot afford to be above politics because politicians (i.e. Congress creates policies and laws we have to live with); gender equity (how to know your worth, negotiate and understand who you are negotiating with); authentic leadership (updating Simone’s maxims, leadership involves continuous quality improvement, and no is a complete sentence); Stephanie Blank’s Presidential Address – vulnerable and authentic – (more tears)!
Progress: Great mix of abstracts and presentations; Tumor Board- congratulations to Andrea and team for a great mix of questions and a touching tribute to Skip - all of us singing “All you need is love” (more chills and tears); finally, historic LBAs, GY018 and RUBY, highlighting cooperative group trials at SGO (and not waiting for ASCO) AND with concurrent NEJM publications – WAIT, WUT???? Yes!!! Congratulations to Matt and the Corpus Committee of GOG.
Mirv was already mentioned and UpRi (Upifitamab Rilsodotin, Dolaflexin ADC targeting NaPi2b) is in phase 3 trials (UP-NEXT) for ovarian cancer. And always look for NTRK gene fusions in ovarian cancer. While rare (only 2-3% positive), response rates with entrectinib are ~75%.
