Summary and conclusion

Systemic therapy in gynaecological cancer is being reshaped as a re­sult of an evolving understanding of the biology of cancer develop­ment, progression, and resistance. This also allows for the constant re-evaluation of long-established therapeutic platforms and para­digms as a means of challenging not only dogma, but also to separate treatments that are standard but ineffective, and to retain therapies that are effective and evidence informed.

It is requisite to base treat­ment decisions that directly impact patients upon sound evidence from well-designed clinical trials, and shy away from logical but un­substantiated therapies. This is an area of rapid change with tremen­dous promise for development of precision therapeutics, and the reader should assess updated information from validated national and international peer-reviewed guidelines on therapy to appropri­ately incorporated targeted agents into standard therapy (e.g. GCIG, NICE, NCCN).
