CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of melanoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Identify patients after surgical removal of primary BRAF-mutant melanoma for whom adjuvant therapy should be considered, and counsel them about the risks and potential benefits of various systemic approaches.
    • Consider patient age, performance status and other disease-related factors in the selection of first- and later-line therapy for BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma.
    • Use available clinical trial evidence to safely and effectively incorporate targeted, immunotherapeutic or combination therapy into the management of metastatic melanoma with a BRAF tumor mutation.
    • Identify adverse events associated with targeted therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors and combination approaches for melanoma, and offer supportive strategies to minimize and manage side effects.
    • Recall available and emerging data with investigational strategies for BRAF-mutant melanoma, and where applicable, refer eligible patients for trial participation.
