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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Assess available clinical evidence documenting the efficacy and safety of various local and systemic management approaches for desmoid tumors, and determine the current indications for these strategies.
• Appreciate Phase III efficacy and safety findings with novel gamma secretase inhibitors for patients with progressing desmoid tumors in order to optimally incorporate available agents into management algorithms.
• Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of adverse events associated with novel gamma secretase inhibitors, and recall the supportive care strategies available to minimize and manage these toxicities.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Appraise available findings from clinical research studies investigating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody consolidation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in patients who have not experienced disease progression after standard platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy, and determine the role of this approach for appropriate individuals.
• Review long-term data supporting the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy for patients with extensive-stage SCLC, and consider how these regimens can be appropriately and safely integrated into clinical practice.
• Appreciate the biological rationale for the evaluation of maintenance treatment after chemoimmunotherapy induction for extensive-stage SCLC, and assess available research findings with and the current role of this therapeutic approach.
• Evaluate available clinical trial findings with FDA-approved agents for patients with SCLC who experience disease progression on or after platinum-containing first-line therapy, and determine how to optimally integrate these therapies into current treatment algorithms.
• Appreciate the incidence of B7-H3 overexpression in patients with SCLC, and develop an understanding of the rationale for, available data with and ongoing studies of B7-H3-directed antibody-drug conjugates in individuals with relapsed/refractory disease.
• Assess ongoing clinical research studies evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for the management of SCLC, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Develop an understanding of the clinical relevance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in urothelial bladder cancer, and recognize the rationale for its use in detecting molecular residual disease (MRD).
• Outline optimal approaches for ctDNA-based assessment of MRD, and determine the appropriate timing of and platform for testing ctDNA status in patients with urothelial bladder cancer.
• Appreciate published datasets documenting the clinical utility of ctDNA testing in risk stratification, surveillance and therapeutic decision-making for patients with urothelial bladder cancer, and consider the current and potential role of this strategy in personalizing treatment recommendations.
• Recall ongoing research examining ctDNA-based assays to assist with clinical decision-making in urothelial bladder cancer, and appropriately refer patients for study participation.

• Evaluate available clinical trial findings with FDA-approved agents for patients with SCLC who experience disease progression on or after platinum-containing first-line therapy, and determine how to optimally integrate these therapies into current treatment algorithms.
• Appreciate the incidence of B7-H3 overexpression in patients with SCLC, and develop an understanding of the rationale for, available data with and ongoing studies of B7-H3-directed antibody-drug conjugates for relapsed/refractory disease.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand validated biomarkers of response (eg, RAS mutations, microsatellite instability [MSI]/mismatch repair [MMR] deficiency, HER2 overexpression, BRAF V600E mutations, KRAS G12C mutations) found in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), and consider the implications for molecular testing and clinical care.
• Evaluate the biological rationale for the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for MSI-high/MMR-deficient localized and advanced CRC, and counsel patients regarding evidence-based and guideline-endorsed treatment recommendations.
• Optimize neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapy for patients with localized and locally advanced CRC, considering the influence of various clinical and biological factors, including MSI/MMR status.
• Appreciate published datasets documenting the clinical utility of circulating tumor DNA-based molecular residual disease testing in risk stratification, surveillance and treatment decision-making for patients with CRC, and consider the current and future role of this strategy in personalizing treatment recommendations.
• Formulate a plan to guide the selection and sequencing of therapies for metastatic CRC (mCRC), taking into account the patient’s tumor sidedness, biomarker profile, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of treatment.
• Appreciate published research documenting the efficacy of targeted therapeutic approaches for patients with mCRC and various actionable genomic alterations in order to personalize treatment recommendations.
• Appraise the rationale for combining multikinase inhibitor and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for microsatellite-stable/MMR-proficient mCRC, and recall available Phase III findings with this novel approach.
• Recall ongoing trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for patients with mCRC, and use this information to refer candidates for study participation.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand validated biomarkers of response (eg, RAS mutations, microsatellite instability [MSI]/mismatch repair [MMR] deficiency, HER2 overexpression, BRAF V600E mutations, KRAS G12C mutations) found in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), and consider the implications for molecular testing and clinical care.
• Evaluate the biological rationale for the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for MSI-high/MMR-deficient localized and advanced CRC, and counsel patients regarding evidence-based and guideline-endorsed treatment recommendations.
• Optimize neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapy for patients with localized and locally advanced CRC, considering the influence of various clinical and biological factors, including MSI/MMR status.
• Appreciate published datasets documenting the clinical utility of circulating tumor DNA-based molecular residual disease testing in risk stratification, surveillance and treatment decision-making for patients with CRC, and consider the current and future role of this strategy in personalizing treatment recommendations.
• Formulate a plan to guide the selection and sequencing of therapies for metastatic CRC (mCRC), taking into account the patient’s tumor sidedness, biomarker profile, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of treatment.
• Appreciate published research documenting the efficacy of targeted therapeutic approaches for patients with mCRC and various actionable genomic alterations in order to personalize treatment recommendations.
• Appraise the rationale for combining multikinase inhibitor and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for microsatellite-stable/MMR-proficient mCRC, and recall available Phase III findings with this novel approach.
• Recall ongoing trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for patients with mCRC, and use this information to refer candidates for study participation.
