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

    • Consider patient 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).
    • Recall the Phase III data leading to 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 supporting the FDA approvals of agents targeting FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements in patients with cholangiocarcinoma, and identify individuals who would benefit from this strategy.
