Managing Ovarian Cancer Treatment Side Effects
Join us for the annual Ovarian Cancer Medical Update on Tuesday, January 21, 7:00pm-8:15pm. Chemotherapy and targeted treatments like bevacizumab, immunotherapy, and PARP inhibitors can be lifesaving and life-prolonging, but all come with a set of unique side effects. Please join us for an interactive discussion on common side effects of chemotherapy and other medications used to treat ovarian cancer. We'll also discuss some preventative strategies to minimize side effects while on treatment. We will start with a review of symptoms that patients may experience while on treatment with frequently used medications, followed by a question and answer session.
