Abstract

Expanded understanding of oncogenesis coupled with innovative drug development has enabled a platform for transformative therapy in oncology. The initial results of this expanded paradigm has been higher and more durable objective responses, delay in disease progress and in some cases, prolonged survival. Tremendous progress is also being made in annotating tumors with functionally relevant biomarkers, further illustrating the hope and promise of precision medicine. Herein we provide a detailed account of molecularly targeted agents applied to gynecologic malignancies along with their clinical experience of efficacy and toxicity.
