CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF) and systemic mastocytosis (SM).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Use an understanding of disease biology and natural history to effectively counsel patients diagnosed with MF regarding their long-term prognosis.
    • Analyze how patient age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biological and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for primary and secondary MF.
    • Appraise available research findings informing the safety and efficacy of approved JAK inhibitors for patients with MF, including those with thrombocytopenia, anemia or compromised renal function.
    • Evaluate published research findings with JAK inhibitors for patients with MF and anemia to optimize therapeutic decision-making.
    • Assess available research findings with novel investigational strategies, and consider the future clinical application of these approaches for patients with MF.
    • Use an understanding of disease biology to appropriately classify SM, and effectively counsel patients diagnosed with this disease regarding their long-term prognosis.
    • Recall the rationale for targeting the KIT D816V mutation in SM, and appreciate the current role of selective kinase inhibitors of D816V-mutated KIT for patients with indolent and advanced disease.
