Topics to Be Discussed

  • Current Management Approaches for Advanced Biliary Tract Cancers (BTCs)
  • Emerging Management Approaches for Advanced BTCs

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, general and gastrointestinal surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of biliary tract cancers.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Apply clinical research findings in the formation of evidence-based therapeutic approaches for the treatment of unresectable and metastatic biliary tract cancers (BTCs).
  • Discuss the biological justification for the evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with advanced BTCs, and develop strategies to optimally incorporate anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based approaches into the treatment of these diseases.
  • Recognize the molecular heterogeneity of cholangiocarcinomas and other BTCs, and appreciate the biological rationale for efforts to exploit documented abnormalities in patients with these diseases.
  • Assess key data sets supporting the FDA approvals of FGFR inhibitors for previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an FGFR2 fusion or other rearrangement to optimally select and sequence these agents in the care of appropriately identified patients.
  • Develop an understanding of available clinical trial findings supporting the use of IDH inhibitors for patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma and an IDH1 mutation to determine the applicability of this therapeutic strategy in current clinical practice.
  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings with HER2-directed therapies for HER2-positive BTCs, and contemplate the current and future utility of these agents and regimens in the care of appropriately selected patients.
  • Recall available data with investigational agents and strategies currently in clinical testing for BTCs, and refer eligible patients for trial participation.
