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 hepatobiliary cancers.

    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 hepatobiliary cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recall recently presented clinical trial results with combined anti-PD-L1 antibody and anti-VEGF therapy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a high risk of recurrence after curative resection or ablation or those receiving transarterial chemoembolization for unresectable disease, and consider the potential role of these strategies in clinical practice.
    • Appreciate available Phase III data with first-line anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with anti-VEGF or anti-CTLA-4 antibodies for unresectable or metastatic HCC, and discuss how these regimens can be optimally integrated into patient care.
    • Discuss the evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibitors as initial therapy for advanced biliary tract cancers (BTCs), and counsel patients about the risks and benefits of these first-line approaches.
    • Assess key data sets supporting the FDA approvals of FGFR inhibitors for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an FGFR2 fusion or other rearrangement.
    • Evaluate clinical trial findings with HER2-directed therapies for HER2-positive BTCs, and assess the current and potential utility of these treatments for appropriately selected patients.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with approved and emerging systemic therapies for hepatobiliary cancers.
