Medical Oncologist: 
Tina, do you have a moment to discuss the treatment plan for the patient in room 7?

Nurse Practitioner:
Hi Dr. Jones. Yes, how can I help? 

Medical Oncologist: 
You may remember Linda; she was here a few months ago... age 57, diagnosed with stage IVB endometrial carcinoma with endometrioid histology and lung metastases.

Nurse Practitioner:
Oh yes, I remember her well! She was so sweet and was excited about her first grandchild being born. Do you have an update on Linda?

Medical Oncologist: 
We started treatment with carboplatin and paclitaxel 3 months ago. Unfortunately, a CT shows disease progression with worsening lung metastases. She is not eligible for curative surgery or radiation. I see in her chart that she has an ECOG of 0. Comorbidities include obesity and hypertension. 

Nurse Practitioner: 
Let’s review her biomarker status. That might help us understand her treatment options.

Medical Oncologist:
Yes, that’s a great idea. I would typically treat a patient like Linda with chemotherapy, but I would like the multi-disciplinary team to weigh in to see if she may be eligible for a biomarker-directed treatment option.

Nurse Practitioner:
I’ll look forward to hearing the outcome of the team’s discussion so we can move forward to the next steps of Linda’s treatment plan.

Explore more about a biomarker-directed treatment option for patients with certain types of advanced endometrial carcinoma.
