Mersana Therapeutics announces launch of Oncology FACETS

Mersana Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced the launch of Oncology FACETS: an educational platform for healthcare providers that will address clinically impactful topics in gynecologic oncology. Oncology FACETS is driven by a Steering Committee of experts in gynecologic oncology and offers content developed in collaboration with Mersana.

“Our goal is to create a destination where oncologists can find up-to-date, peer-reviewed educational content on emerging topics about ovarian, endometrial, cervical, and other gynecological cancers,” said Dr Thomas J. Herzog of the University of Cincinnati, who is serving as Steering Committee Chair. “We believe Oncology FACETS will provide a valuable resource for physicians seeking to keep pace with this field’s rapidly evolving science and data.”

Each Oncology FACETS educational module is led by a Steering Committee member. The first module is “Current and Emerging Biomarkers in Gynecologic Cancer,” led by Dr Rebecca C. Arend, a leading gynecologic oncologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The module is now available for download at OncologyFACETS.com.

Dr Arend noted, “Precision medicine is now at the forefront of the oncology field. Biomarkers are central to this movement, and their use in gynecologic malignancies promises to shape the treatment paradigm in the near future. This module is intended to both educate and facilitate peer-to-peer dialogue about this important topic.”

Oncology FACETS will release new modules on a regular basis. The next module, planned to be released in December 2022, will focus on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in gynecologic malignancies.

“We are proud to collaborate with this esteemed group of gynecologic oncologists to advance knowledge and patient care,” said Anna Protopapas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mersana. “Oncology FACETS is a natural extension of our commitment to driving innovation aimed at improving outcomes for women with gynecologic cancers.”
