CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of thyroid cancer.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appraise the efficacy and safety of multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors for radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory advanced thyroid cancer, and discern how these agents can be optimally employed in patient care.
  • Evaluate patient- and disease-related factors to appropriately select and sequence available therapeutic options for RAI-refractory thyroid cancer.
  • Recognize the spectrum and prevalence of potentially targetable genomic alterations in patients with thyroid cancer, and discuss the means by which these alterations contribute to tumor growth and proliferation.
  • Recall FDA-approved and guideline-endorsed diagnostic platforms for biomarker testing in patients with advanced thyroid cancer, and refine clinical testing algorithms by assessing the advantages and disadvantages of available assays.
  • Analyze available safety and efficacy research results with novel RET inhibitors for patients with RET-driven thyroid cancer, and appropriately integrate these agents into treatment algorithms.
  • Recall other validated biomarkers of response to targeted treatment for advanced thyroid cancer (eg, NTRK fusions), and counsel patients harboring these abnormalities about personalized therapeutic recommendations.
  • Use the results of genomic analyses to integrate available and emerging novel targeted therapies into treatment decision-making for patients with thyroid cancer.
