TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate the pathophysiology, incidence and signs and symptoms of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
  • Recall strategies to establish a positive diagnosis of LEMS, and use this information to facilitate the accurate and timely evaluation of patients with SCLC in whom this condition is suspected.
  • Develop an understanding of the clinical research database supporting the use of potassium channel blockers in the management of LEMS, including that associated with SCLC, and optimally integrate this treatment into the care of patients with this condition.
  • Appraise the role of multidisciplinary specialists such as neurologists in the diagnosis and management of LEMS, and effectively collaborate with these clinicians to offer best-practice care for patients with SCLC in whom this condition is suspected or diagnosed.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Review available research documenting the correlation between the presence of various biomarkers (eg, PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations, ESR1 mutations) and response to specific therapies, and develop optimal testing algorithms for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Recognize the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations in patients with HR-positive mBC, and employ evidence-based approaches designed to target these aberrations as appropriate for those with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory disease.
  • Understand the biological rationale for the development of agents targeting multiple components of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, and recognize available data with this strategy for patients with HR-positive, PIK3CA wild-type and PIK3CA-mutant mBC.
  • Evaluate available research findings with and ongoing studies evaluating novel PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor-based approaches, and consider the potential role of these strategies in clinical practice.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, surgeons and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gastroesophageal cancers.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate recently presented clinical research findings to determine their effect on the current management of gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and esophageal cancers.
  • Recognize available clinical research findings with immune checkpoint inhibitors as neoadjuvant, adjuvant or perioperative therapy for patients with resectable gastric, GEJ and esophageal cancers, and consider the current role of these approaches.
  • Describe published research data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with other systemic therapies in the management of metastatic gastric, GEJ and esophageal cancers, and optimally integrate these strategies into treatment algorithms.
  • Assess available data with monoclonal antibody therapy directed at claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with HER2-negative, CLDN18.2-positive gastric or GEJ cancer, and optimally incorporate this approach into management algorithms.
  • Review published research findings with established HER2-targeted therapies for patients with HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancers, and assess the current role of various agents and regimens.
  • Review the rationale for, available data with and ongoing research studies evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with gastroesophageal cancers in preparation for potential clinical availability or to enhance trial participation.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand how various clinical and biological factors, such as age and menopausal status, tumor size and grade and nodal involvement, affect a patient’s risk of recurrence, and use this information to personalize the selection of adjuvant systemic therapy for newly diagnosed hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
  • Consider available clinical trial findings with CDK4/6 inhibitors for localized HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and identify patients for whom adjuvant treatment with one of these agents would be appropriate.
  • Recognize adverse events and other common side effects associated with different CDK4/6 inhibitors for localized breast cancer, and tailor therapy for patients with preexisting medical conditions and relevant comorbidities.
  • Develop preventive and emergent strategies to reduce or ameliorate the various toxicities associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors.
  • Assess the similarities and differences among the various genomic assays with established prognostic and predictive utility in HR-positive localized breast cancer, and consider research findings informing the use of these tests.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Assess the clinical and biological factors that affect the consideration of systemic therapy for prostate cancer, and design appropriate treatment plans for individual patients recognizing the potential benefits and risks of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone or in combination with other commonly employed agents.
  • Compare and contrast the mechanistic similarities and differences between LHRH agonists and GnRH antagonists, and use this information to individualize treatment for patients with prostate cancer.
  • Evaluate the published research database supporting the FDA approval of oral GnRH antagonist therapy to optimally incorporate this novel form of ADT into current treatment algorithms for advanced prostate cancer.
  • Understand the significance of testosterone recovery following ADT for maintaining patient quality of life, and appropriately monitor testosterone when employing these agents for prostate cancer.
  • Identify the potential side effects, including cardiovascular-related events, associated with LHRH agonists and GnRH antagonists for patients with prostate cancer, and develop strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage these toxicities.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appraise available findings from clinical research investigating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody consolidation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in patients who have not experienced disease progression after standard platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy, and determine the appropriate clinical role of this approach. 
  • Review long-term data supporting the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy for patients with extensive-stage SCLC, and consider how these regimens can be appropriately and safely integrated into clinical practice.
  • Appreciate the biological rationale for the evaluation of maintenance treatment after chemoimmunotherapy induction for extensive-stage SCLC, and assess available research findings with and the current role of this therapeutic approach.
  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings with FDA-approved agents for patients with SCLC who experience disease progression on or after platinum-containing first-line therapy, and determine how to optimally integrate these therapies into current treatment algorithms.
  • Appreciate the incidence of B7-H3 overexpression in patients with SCLC, and develop an understanding of the rationale for, available data with and ongoing studies of B7-H3-directed antibody-drug conjugates for relapsed/refractory disease.  
  • Assess ongoing clinical research studies evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for the management of SCLC, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
