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 ovarian cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced OC, and appropriately counsel patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Appraise biological and patient- and treatment-related factors in order to individualize the selection and sequencing of therapy for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrent OC.
  • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα) in OC, and understand the mechanism of action of and available research findings with FRα-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
  • Appreciate available clinical research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy for patients with platinum-resistant OC, and consider the current role of this novel therapeutic strategy.
  • Understand the biological justification for the evaluation of selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators in combination with chemotherapy for patients with platinum-resistant OC, and recall available Phase III findings with this novel approach.
  • Assess the incidence of cadherin-6 expression in OC, and understand the structural components of, mechanism of action of and available data with novel ADCs directed at this target.
  • Review published clinical research findings documenting the efficacy of HER2-targeted agents and regimens in patients with HER2-overexpressing OC and other gynecologic cancers, and consider the role of ADCs and other approaches.
  • Describe the scientific justification for, published research data with and current research studies of other novel agents and strategies in OC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.

• Recent Data Defining the Optimal Use of Hormonal Therapy for Patients with Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer — Dr Taplin 

• Role of Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors for Patients with Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer — Dr Oh 

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

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

  • 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.  
  • Discuss the biological rationale for and available data with perioperative androgen deprivation therapy in combination with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor for patients with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer, and review the potential clinical role of this novel strategy.
  • Appraise published research findings on optimal management approaches for biochemical recurrence after local treatment for prostate cancer, and appropriately counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of FDA-approved systemic treatment options.  
  • Evaluate the published research database supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic prostate cancer, and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options with patients.  
  • Explore available data with treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and effectively integrate these strategies into clinical management algorithms.  
  • Understand the potential side effects, including cardiovascular events, of hormonal agents commonly employed in the management of prostate cancer, and develop strategies to prevent, miti­gate and manage these toxicities.  
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel hormonal agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and 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.
  • Appraise the scientific justification for, available data with and potential clinical role of oral selective estrogen receptor degraders as adjuvant treatment for patients with localized HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
  • 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, 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 and radiation oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, general and breast surgeons and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Assess available Phase III data with HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy as a component of neoadjuvant therapy for patients with high-risk localized breast cancer, and consider the current clinical role of this novel treatment approach.
  • Evaluate current research evidence with HER2-directed ADC therapy for patients with HER2-positive localized breast cancer and residual disease after neoadjuvant treatment.
  • Appraise available research data and relevant clinical and biological factors guiding the selection of first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Review published research supporting TROP2-directed ADC therapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for triple-negative mBC, and use this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
  • Evaluate published clinical research findings with TROP2-directed ADC monotherapy for HR-positive and triple-negative mBC, and optimally incorporate these agents into clinical care.
  • Assess the biological rationale for the evaluation of HER2-directed ADCs for HER2-low and HER2-ultralow mBC, and identify patients appropriate for this treatment approach.
  • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with FDA-approved ADCs in the care of patients with breast cancer, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate these complications.
  • Recall ongoing trials evaluating the potential role of novel ADC-based strategies in the localized and metastatic settings, and appropriately counsel patients with breast cancer regarding enrollment.
