CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider patient age, performance status and other clinical and biologic factors in the up-front and subsequent treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
    • Recall published research data and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing or combination of available therapeutic agents in the nonresearch care of patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL).
    • Recognize the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety of approved and investigational agents for the treatment of newly diagnosed and R/R mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) to determine the current and potential utility in clinical practice.
    • Incorporate new therapeutic strategies into the best-practice management of newly diagnosed and R/R Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
    • Develop an understanding of the biologic rationale for and appreciate available efficacy and safety data with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, and identify patients for whom this approach may be appropriate.
    • Design a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with current and recently approved systemic therapies in the management of FL, MCL, HL and DLBCL to support quality of life and continuation of therapy.
    • Recall new data with investigational agents and strategies demonstrating promising activity in various lymphoma subtypes, and discuss clinical trial opportunities with eligible patients.
