CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider relevant biological, clinical and logistical factors in the selection of first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAD).
    • Appreciate recently published efficacy findings with nanoliposomal irinotecan as a component of first-line therapy for metastatic PAD, and assess the potential role of this novel therapeutic strategy.
    • Develop an evidence-based strategy for the treatment of metastatic PAD in patients who experience disease progression on front-line chemotherapy.
    • Appraise available Phase III data leading to the FDA approval of olaparib maintenance after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed PAD and a germline BRCA mutation, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these findings for clinical practice.
    • Recognize side effects and toxicities associated with approved systemic regimens commonly employed in the management of PAD, and develop a plan to support quality of life and continuation of therapy.
    • Recall the biological rationale for and available and emerging data with other investigational agents or treatment strategies currently in clinical testing for PAD, and refer eligible patients for trial participation.
