CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists-oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of dermatologic cancers.
  
  OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
  Melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers — basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) — taken together, likely represent the most prevalent form of human cancer. The vast majority of skin cancer presents as minimally invasive BCC or SCC and is highly curable with local treatment alone. However, in rare instances these characteristically indolent lesions progress and necessitate systemic intervention with the support of limited randomized clinical evidence. In contrast, malignant melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, with a predilection toward distant metastases even when identified in the early stages. Thus, melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers are distinct entities, each posing unique challenges to the oncology community. Featuring information on the latest research developments along with expert perspectives, this CME activity is designed to assist medical oncologists and hematology-oncology fellows with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.
  
  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 benefits of approved systemic approaches.
  • Use biomarkers, clinical characteristics and mutational analyses to select individualized front-line and subsequent treatment approaches for patients with advanced melanoma.
  • Use available clinical trial evidence to safely and effectively incorporate targeted and immunotherapeutic approaches into the management of metastatic melanoma with BRAF tumor mutations.
  • Recall the underlying research database guiding therapeutic recommendations for patients with locally advanced or metastatic SCC of the skin.
  • Assess the rationale for and clinical trial data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for Merkel cell carcinoma, and optimally integrate available agents into current treatment algorithms.
  • Formulate a long-term clinical plan for the management of locally advanced or metastatic BCC, incorporating existing and investigational treatments.
