CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Acknowledge available Phase III data with and the FDA approval of lenvatinib as first-line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and discern how this agent can be optimally integrated into the clinical care of patients with this disease.
    • Evaluate Phase III data leading to the recent FDA approval of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab as first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed unresectable or metastatic HCC, and consider the current role of this novel regimen.
    • Recall available clinical trial data with approved and investigational systemic interventions, and where appropriate, apply this information to the current clinical care of patients with locally advanced or metastatic HCC.
    • Maintain an understanding of the side effects and toxicities associated with targeted agents and immunotherapeutic approaches used in the management of advanced HCC to facilitate early and effective responses to various adverse events.
    • Consider age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other clinical and logistical factors in the selection and sequencing of systemic therapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic HCC or locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAD).
    • Appreciate the efficacy and tolerability profile of nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) for treatment-refractory metastatic PAD, and optimally incorporate this agent into patient-care algorithms.
    • Appraise available Phase III data leading to the FDA approval of olaparib maintenance after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed PAD and a germline BRCA mutation, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these findings on clinical practice.
