CancerNetwork® sat down with Ronnie Shapira-Frommer, MD, to discuss research that was presented at the Society of Gynecological Oncology (SGO) 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer.

Shapira-Frommer discussed multidisciplinary care in the treatment of various gynecologic malignancies and how the data at the meeting facilitate this approach.

Transcription:

We have to face patients’ cancer as a multidisciplinary team with the strength of each expertise, including surgical, radiotherapy, and medical oncologist joined together. This is unique for this field of treatment. Pushing forward with the preclinical studies and with the data [from the SGO Annual Meeting], we can move forward patient care in the best of their interest, and for us as well.
