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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Recall long-term outcomes with traditional treatment approaches for localized or locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), and recognize clinical and histologic features that increase the risk of recurrence after primary therapy.
  • Evaluate available research findings with immunotherapeutic agents as a component of neoadjuvant therapy for resectable cSCC in order to identify patients who may be appropriate candidates for this strategy.
  • Appreciate recently published Phase III data supporting the use of adjuvant anti-PD-1 antibody therapy after surgery and radiation therapy for patients with high-risk cSCC, and consider the potential clinical utility and practical application of this approach.
  • Use available clinical trial evidence to safely and effectively integrate immunotherapeutic approaches into the care of patients with advanced or metastatic cSCC.
  • Formulate a long-term plan for the management of locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC), incorporating targeted and immunotherapeutic strategies.
  • Recollect the rationale for and design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for cSCC and BCC, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand the biological rationale for combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with bacillus Calmette-Guérin for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and discuss available data with and the potential role of this novel approach.
  • Analyze the scientific justification for the use of perioperative immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic strategy.
  • Reflect on pivotal clinical trial findings with novel compounds with unique mechanisms of action, such as antibody-drug conjugates, for metastatic urothelial bladder cancer (UBC), and identify patients for whom treatment with these approaches would be appropriate.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer and UBC, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate factors, including age, comorbidities, bleeding history/risk, lifestyle and personal preferences, that influence the decision to initiate active therapy for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and counsel patients regarding personalized initial treatment recommendations.
  • Appraise available guidelines concerning the recommended duration of corticosteroid use as initial therapy for ITP, and identify patients who experience insufficient response or relapse after steroids for whom a change of treatment may be warranted.
  • Understand available efficacy and safety data with FDA-approved second- and later-line treatments for ITP, and consider this information in the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with persistent/chronic disease.
  • Recollect available research with novel agents and strategies, including those targeting the B-cell activating factor receptor, under investigation for ITP in preparation for their potential clinical availability.
  • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with available and investigational therapies used in the care of patients with ITP, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate them.

This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate patient-related factors that influence the decision to initiate active therapy for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and counsel patients regarding personalized initial treatment recommendations.
  • Appraise authoritative recommendations concerning the use of corticosteroids as therapy for ITP, and identify patients with relapse or insufficient response after steroids for whom a change of treatment may be warranted.
  • Understand the role and relevance of splenectomy in the management of ITP, and consider its use in the care of appropriately selected patients.
  • Understand efficacy and safety profiles of FDA-approved second- and later-line treatments for ITP, and consider this information in the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with persistent or chronic disease.
  • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with available therapies for ITP, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate them.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate patient-related factors that influence the decision to initiate active therapy for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and counsel patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Appraise authoritative recommendations concerning the recommended duration of corticosteroid use as initial therapy for ITP, and identify patients who experience insufficient response or relapse after steroids for whom a change of treatment may be warranted.
  • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with available and investigational therapies used in the care of patients with ITP, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate them.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate relevant biological, patient and treatment-related factors to personalize the selection and sequencing of therapy for individuals diagnosed with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC) harboring PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathway abnormalities.
  • Appreciate the pathophysiology, frequency and severity of hyperglycemia associated with the administration of various agents targeting the PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathway in HR-positive, HER2-negative mBC.
  • Recall strategies commonly employed to mitigate and manage hyperglycemia in individuals receiving treatment with agents targeting the PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathway, and use this information to appropriately intervene when this side effect is suspected or diagnosed.
  • Appraise the role of multidisciplinary specialists such as endocrinologists in the diagnosis and management of hyperglycemia associated with agents targeting the PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathway, and effectively collaborate with these clinicians to offer best-practice care for patients at high risk for or with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of this toxicity.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Review how biological factors and patient characteristics such as age, performance status, prior treatment, comorbidities and preexisting conditions influence the selection and sequencing of treatment for metastatic urothelial bladder cancer (mUBC).
  • Interrogate published efficacy and safety findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy as first-line treatment for mUBC, and consider the current role of this strategy in patient care.
  • Recall pivotal clinical trial findings with ADCs and tyrosine kinase inhibitors for previously treated locally advanced or metastatic UBC, and identify patients for whom these approaches would be appropriate.
  • Appreciate the frequency and severity of therapy-related adverse events commonly encountered by patients receiving guideline-endorsed agents and regimens for mUBC, and enact effective monitoring and management procedures.
  • Describe the scientific justification for and published research data with novel strategies under investigation for UBC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.
