Proceedings from the First Annual Miami General Medical Oncology Symposium
Released April 2019

Proceedings from a weekend-long symposium featuring discussion of significant new data sets, promising treatment strategies and key interdisciplinary management considerations in the care of patients with breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, dermatologic, ovarian and select hematologic cancers. (Video Program)

CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied cancer professionals.

    OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
    The fact that community-based general medical oncologists are responsible for the management of such a breadth of diseases clearly establishes them as a unique entity and supports the mandate that, whether they are exposed to 1 patient with a particular tumor type throughout the year or 100, they must be properly equipped to deliver high-quality, state-of-the-art care for every case.

    Unfortunately, this can be a highly daunting task for many reasons, including simple lack of exposure to specific diseases and the often complex diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms that accompany clinical management. Although it is clear that many practical and logistical factors affect oncologists’ ability to stay abreast of notable clinical advances and to deliver optimal care, it is important to recognize that unprecedented progress in cancer research is playing a critical role. Fueled by an increased understanding of the biologic underpinnings of tumor development and progression, clinical research platforms largely focused on evaluating the potential benefits of novel targeted therapeutics and immunotherapies possessing unique mechanisms of action and safety profiles have led to improved outcomes in myriad large and rigorous clinical trials across many different tumor types. The successes yielded have provided medical oncologists and patients with many beneficial FDA-endorsed options, but the availability of so many new treatments in such a short period, coupled with the fact that many are indicated for less commonly occurring diseases, represents a particularly challenging situation for those practicing in the community.

    To bridge this gap, these proceedings from a weekend-long symposium feature discussion of significant new data sets, promising treatment strategies and key interdisciplinary management considerations in the care of patients with breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, dermatologic, ovarian and select hematologic cancers. By providing access to the perspectives of tumor type-specific experts from a variety of fields, this activity aims to ensure that those involved in the management of these diseases are empowered to deliver best-practice patient care.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Effectively apply the results of practice-changing clinical research to the care of patients with breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, dermatologic, ovarian and select hematologic cancers.
    • Appraise the clinical relevance of recent pivotal cancer research results published in peer-reviewed journals and/or presented at major oncology conferences.
    • Recall ongoing trials in breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, dermatologic, ovarian and select hematologic cancers, and refer appropriate patients for study participation.
    • Use an understanding of tumor biomarkers and single and multigene signatures to individualize the care of patients with cancer.
    • Educate patients with diverse hematologic cancers and solid tumors about the benefits and risks of new therapeutic agents and strategies.
    • Refine or validate existing cancer-specific treatment algorithms based on exposure to new data sets and the perspectives of tumor-specific clinical investigators.
    • Evaluate the mechanisms of action, tolerability and efficacy of promising investigational agents, and consider their potential implications for clinical practice.
