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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Acknowledge available clinical trial findings with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for patients with nonmetastatic EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and identify individuals for whom this novel approach would be warranted.
• Counsel patients with newly diagnosed metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC regarding available therapeutic considerations, explaining the relevance of mutation type, symptomatology, sites and extent of metastases, prior therapeutic exposure and other factors.
• Appreciate the biological rationale for dual inhibition of MET and EGFR in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC, and understand published data establishing the benefit of this strategy.
• Evaluate the documented efficacy of chemotherapy combined with EGFR-targeted therapy, and consider the current role of available approaches in both the front-line and relapsed/refractory settings for patients with EGFR-mutant metastatic NSCLC.
• Review published research findings with TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates for EGFR-mutant metastatic NSCLC, and optimally incorporate these agents into current treatment algorithms.
• Understand the biology of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, and evaluate how currently available therapies should be employed in the care of patients with these abnormalities.
• Recall the biological rationale for the evaluation of various novel therapeutic approaches for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Acknowledge available clinical trial findings with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for patients with nonmetastatic EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and identify individuals for whom this novel approach would be warranted.
• Counsel patients with newly diagnosed metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC regarding available therapeutic considerations, explaining the relevance of mutation type, symptomatology, sites and extent of metastases, prior therapeutic exposure and other factors.
• Appreciate the biological rationale for dual inhibition of MET and EGFR in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC, and understand published data establishing the benefit of this strategy.
• Evaluate the documented efficacy of chemotherapy combined with EGFR-targeted therapy, and consider the current role of available approaches in both the front-line and relapsed/refractory settings for patients with EGFR-mutant metastatic NSCLC.
• Review published research findings with TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates for EGFR-mutant metastatic NSCLC, and optimally incorporate these agents into current treatment algorithms.
• Understand the biology of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, and evaluate how currently available therapies should be employed in the care of patients with these abnormalities.
• Recall the biological rationale for the evaluation of various novel therapeutic approaches for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Infer how various clinical and biological factors affect the risk of prostate cancer recurrence after local therapy, and design appropriate treatment plans for individual patients with consideration of the potential benefits and risks of new and established forms of hormonal therapy.
• Evaluate the published research database supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents for the management of nonmetastatic prostate cancer, and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options.
• Explore available data with the use of treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), and effectively integrate these strategies into current clinical management algorithms.
• Appreciate the biological rationale for targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in prostate cancer, and evaluate available data with novel AKT inhibitors in combination with hormonal therapy for patients with mHSPC and PTEN deficiency.
• Assess the available research database supporting the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with metastatic prostate cancer harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern how to optimally incorporate these agents into current clinical management algorithms.
• Review available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of various forms of radioligand therapy for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and consider the current and future clinical role of these strategies.
• Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.

Faculty

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Infer how various clinical and biological factors affect the risk of prostate cancer recurrence after local therapy, and design appropriate treatment plans for individual patients with consideration of the potential benefits and risks of new and established forms of hormonal therapy.
• Appraise published research findings on optimal management approaches for patients with biochemical recurrence after local treatment for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate individuals regarding the potential benefits of FDA-approved systemic treatment options.
• Evaluate the published research database supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents for the management of nonmetastatic prostate cancer, and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options.
• Explore available data with the use of treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), and effectively integrate these strategies into current clinical management algorithms.
• Establish an evidence-based approach to the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic options for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, considering age, comorbidities, prior therapeutic exposure and other relevant clinical and biological factors.
• Assess the available research database supporting the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with metastatic prostate cancer harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern how to optimally incorporate these agents into current clinical management algorithms.
• Appreciate the biological rationale for targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway for prostate cancer, and evaluate available and emerging data with novel AKT inhibitors in combination with hormonal therapy for patients with mHSPC and PTEN deficiency.
• Review available and emerging Phase III data documenting the efficacy of various forms of radioligand therapy for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and consider the current and potential future clinical role of these strategies.
• Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
