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, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of lymphoma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and determine the role of these agents in current and future clinical management.
  • Identify patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL for whom CD79b-targeted therapy would be appropriate.
  • Understand published clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies as a component of combination treatment regimens for DLBCL and FL, and employ this information as part of patient education discussions.
  • Appraise the biological rationale for, available research findings with and current clinical role of CD19-targeted antibody-drug conjugates for patients with R/R DLBCL and FL.
  • Develop an understanding of the biological rationale for, current clinical research database with and potential clinical role of investigational CD19 x CD3 bispecific antibodies in the management of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
  • Recall new data with other agents and strategies currently under investigation for various NHL subtypes, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and determine the role of these agents in current and future clinical management.
  • Identify patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL for whom CD79b-targeted therapy would be appropriate.
  • Understand published clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies as a component of combination treatment regimens for DLBCL and FL, and employ this information as part of patient education discussions.
  • Appraise the biological rationale for, available research findings with and current clinical role of CD19-targeted antibody-drug conjugates for patients with R/R DLBCL and FL.
  • Develop an understanding of the biological rationale for, current clinical research database with and potential clinical role of investigational CD19 x CD3 bispecific antibodies in the management of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
  • Recall new data with other agents and strategies currently under investigation for various NHL subtypes, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.

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, 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.
