CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider patient age, performance status, liver function and other clinical and logistical factors in the selection of first- and later-line therapy for unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    • Consider the FDA approval of olaparib as maintenance therapy for patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAD) with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA mutations and without disease progression on a first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimen.
    • Apply clinical trial data with approved and investigational systemic interventions for patients with localized, locally advanced or metastatic PAD to establish an evidence-based approach to selecting therapy.
    • Appraise available and emerging data with investigational agents currently in clinical testing for HCC, PAD, and biliary tract cancers, and appropriately refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
    • Evaluate the data with approved and investigational agents targeting FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements in patients with cholangiocarcinoma, and identify individuals who would benefit from this strategy.
