CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appreciate Phase III data leading to the FDA approvals of novel first-line treatment strategies for unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and discuss how these approaches can be optimally integrated into the clinical care of patients.
    • Establish an evidence-based approach to the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic options for patients with progressive HCC.
    • Discuss the biological justification for the evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced biliary tract cancers, and develop strategies to optimally incorporate anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies into patient care.
    • Recognize the molecular heterogeneity of cholangiocarcinoma and other biliary tract cancers, and appreciate the biological rationale for efforts to exploit documented abnormalities.
    • Assess key data sets supporting the recent FDA approvals of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors for previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an FGFR2 fusion or other rearrangement in order to optimally select and sequence these agents in the care of appropriately identified patients.
    • Develop an understanding of available clinical trial findings supporting the use of IDH1 inhibitors for advanced cholangiocarcinoma with an IDH1 mutation in order to determine the applicability of this strategy in current clinical practice.
    • Recall available and emerging data with investigational agents and strategies currently in clinical testing for hepatobiliary cancers, and appropriately refer eligible patients for trial participation.
