LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Appraise available findings from clinical research 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 appropriate clinical role of this approach. 
• 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 for 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 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.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program 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

• Appreciate the incidence and clinical implications of ESR1 mutations in endocrine-resistant metastatic breast cancer (mBC), and determine optimal strategies to effectively identify patients harboring these abnormalities.
• Understand the biological rationale for, mechanism of action of and pharmacologic similarities and differences between available and investigational oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs).
• Interrogate published research documenting the efficacy of oral SERD monotherapy for ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated mBC progressing on standard endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor to optimally integrate these agents into the care of appropriately selected patients.
• Review available research data evaluating the role of serial ESR1 testing using circulating tumor DNA as a means to inform early therapeutic switching for patients with hormone receptor-positive mBC receiving CDK4/6 inhibitor-based first-line therapy, and consider the potential role of this novel strategy in treatment.
• Evaluate available clinical trial data with oral SERDs in combination with other systemic therapies (eg, CDK4/6 inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors), and consider the potential role of these regimens in disease management.
• Appreciate side effects associated with available and investigational oral SERDs, and use this information to develop supportive care plans for patients undergoing treatment with this form of therapy.
• Assess ongoing clinical research studies evaluating novel applications of oral SERDs for ER-positive breast cancer, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Appraise available Phase III data documenting the comparative efficacy and tolerability of first- and second-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and consider the implications of these findings for clinical decision-making for patients with newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
• Appreciate the scientific rationale for the investigation of combined BTK and Bcl-2 inhibition, and review recently presented data documenting the safety and efficacy of this strategy for patients with CLL.
• Discuss available clinical research demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors for CLL, and consider the current and future role of these agents for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory disease.
• Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with covalent and noncovalent BTK inhibitors commonly employed in the treatment of CLL.
• Recall ongoing research studies attempting to further define the optimal role of BTK inhibitor-based strategies in therapy for CLL, and appropriately counsel patients regarding potential clinical trial participation.

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.
