CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiology oncologists, nurses, colorectal and general surgeons and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider relevant biological, clinical and logistical factors in the selection of first-line therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAD).
    • Appreciate recently published efficacy findings with nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) as a component of first-line therapy for patients with metastatic PAD, and assess the potential role of this novel therapeutic strategy.
    • Develop an evidence-based treatment strategy for patients with metastatic PAD who experience disease progression on front-line chemotherapy, exploring the importance of age, performance status and prior therapeutic exposure.
    • Appraise available Phase III data leading to the FDA approval of olaparib maintenance after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed PAD and a germline BRCA mutation, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these findings for clinical practice.
    • Design and implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with approved systemic regimens commonly employed for PAD to support quality of life and continuation of therapy.
    • Recall the biological rationale for and available and emerging data with other investigational agents currently in clinical testing for PAD, and refer eligible patients for trial participation.
