CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of cancer.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with HER2-altered solid tumors.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appreciate the spectrum and prevalence of HER2 alterations across various solid tumors and the means by which these contribute to tumor growth and proliferation.
    • Consider the scientific justification for the use of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) as a therapeutic approach for patients with HER2-altered solid tumors, and recall the mechanisms of antitumor activity of commercially available and investigational HER2-targeted agents.
    • Appraise available clinical research data with novel HER2-directed ADCs for patients with HER2-altered solid tumors, and consider the current and potential role of this approach in routine clinical care.
    • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with HER2-targeted ADCs employed in the care of patients with cancer, and use this information to develop supportive management plans.
    • Recollect ongoing clinical research attempting to further define the role of novel HER2-directed ADCs in treating various tumor types, and counsel appropriate patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
