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 melanoma.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Identify patients after surgical removal of primary melanoma for whom adjuvant therapy should be considered, and counsel these individuals regarding the risks and potential benefits of existing and recently approved systemic approaches.
  • Consider age, performance status and other disease-related factors to guide the selection of first- and later-line therapy for patients with metastatic BRAF wild-type melanoma.
  • Use available clinical trial evidence to safely and effectively incorporate targeted and immunotherapeutic approaches into the management of metastatic melanoma with a BRAF tumor mutation.
  • Recognize the recent FDA approval of the combination of the BRAF inhibitor encorafenib and the MEK inhibitor binimetinib for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E/K tumor mutation, and consider how the availability of this strategy affects current therapeutic algorithms.
  • Identify adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies and other systemic treatments for melanoma, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize and/or manage side effects.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with other systemic therapies (eg, targeted therapy, other immunotherapies) for patients with advanced melanoma, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
