CE Disclosures and Faculty Information

• OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
  Cancers of the genitourinary (GU) system affect hundreds of thousands of individuals within the United States each year. Among these, tumors of the bladder, kidney and renal pelvis are among the most prevalent and are therefore the topic of extensive ongoing clinical research. As such, the clinical management of these diseases is currently in a state of evolution, necessitating rapid and consistent access to learning opportunities for clinicians who provide care for these patients. Featuring information on the latest research developments along with expert perspectives, this CME program is designed to assist medical oncologists, urologists and radiation oncologists with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies for the care of patients with GU cancers.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Develop an evidence-based approach to the sequencing of systemic therapies for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), incorporating cytokines, multikinase inhibitors, anti-VEGF antibodies, mTOR inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
  • Appreciate the recent FDA approvals in advanced RCC, and develop strategies to optimally integrate these agents into the management of this disease.
  • Recognize toxicities attributable to diverse molecular-targeted treatments for RCC, and offer preventive or emergent interventions to minimize or ameliorate these side effects.
  • Recall the unique mechanism of action of, available clinical trial data with and clinical indications for the use of atezolizumab in patients with relapsed/refractory advanced urothelial bladder cancer, and use this information to guide nonprotocol treatment planning.
  • Recognize immune-related adverse events and other common side effects associated with approved and developmental immunotherapeutics in order to offer supportive management strategies.
  • Recall available and emerging data with novel anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies currently under investigation for bladder cancer and RCC, and, where applicable, refer eligible patients for trial participation or expanded access programs.
