CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    These activities are intended for medical oncologists, nurses, radiological oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Develop an understanding of published research with Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors as a component of front-line treatment for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and assess the current and potential roles of this therapeutic approach.
    • Appreciate the biological rationale for, available data with and current indications for the use of covalent BTK inhibitors for relapsed/refractory MCL, and discern how these agents can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine practice.
    • Discuss available clinical research demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors for MCL, and identify patients appropriate for treatment with this novel therapeutic strategy.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with covalent and noncovalent BTK inhibitors employed in the management of MCL.
    • Recall investigational therapeutic strategies and ongoing clinical trials attempting to further leverage the benefits of BTK inhibitors for the treatment of MCL.
