2021 SGO Virtual Meeting Sunday March 21, 2021

I am happy to share with you Tweets that cover the work presented during the last full day session of SGO was on Sunday, March 21, 2021.

One session, Time to Return to the Drawing Board, reported clinical trial results that did not meet their aims. Understanding where a drug or treatment may have failed to provide the results expected is as important as those trials that meet aims.

 Atezolizumab

Falretuzumab

#SGOMtg
Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy/safety of farletuzumab in combo with carboplatin plus paclitaxel or carbo plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in women w/ low CA125 ( less than 3xs upper level

Dr. Herzog presents negative study of addition of farletuzumab (folate receptor alpha mAB) to chemo in pts with platinum sensitive #ovariancancer with CA-125 less than 3x ULN. No improvement in PFS or OS with the addition of the novel agent. #SGOMtg #gyncsm pic.twitter.com/dJq7g8fqSy

Gross resection and OS / NACT

Great study by @NiteckiRoni showing complete gross resection still remains integral to improving OS and ability to get R0 should inform surgical timing, not number of NACT cycles. @MDAndersonNews @SGO_org #SGO2021 #SGOMtg @RauhHainMD pic.twitter.com/uQAIl0KygU
