CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
    The treatment of hematologic cancer remains a challenge for many healthcare professionals and patients despite recent gains in the management of this group of diseases. Determining which treatment approach is most appropriate requires careful consideration of patient characteristics, physician expertise and available health-system resources. To bridge the gap between research and patient care, this program features one-on-one discussions with leading hematology-oncology investigators. By providing information on the latest clinical developments in the context of expert perspectives, this activity assists medical oncologists, hematologists and hematology-oncology fellows with the formulation of evidence-based and current therapeutic strategies, which in turn facilitates optimal patient care.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate recent data on therapeutic advances and changing practice standards in Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and integrate this information, as appropriate, into current clinical practice.
    • Individualize the selection and sequence of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory CLL, considering the clinical presentation and disease characteristics.
    • Consider current and emerging clinical research data in the formulation of therapeutic recommendations for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
    • Integrate new and existing therapeutic strategies into the best-practice management of Hodgkin lymphoma.
    • Review emerging clinical trial data on the efficacy and safety of brentuximab vedotin for Hodgkin lymphoma and other CD30-positive lymphomas, and use this information to prioritize protocol and nonresearch options for patients.
