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 renal cell carcinoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate recently presented data with adjuvant anti-PD-1 antibody therapy for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) at high risk for recurrence after nephrectomy, and consider the potential role of this treatment strategy.
    • Effectively apply evidence-based research findings and other clinical and biologic factors in the best practice selection of first-line therapy for patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC).
    • Recall the underlying research database supporting the FDA approval of anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 combination therapy as first-line treatment for mRCC, and develop strategies to appropriately integrate this approach into patient care.
    • Appraise available clinical trial data evaluating combinations of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with multikinase inhibitors for previously untreated mRCC, and counsel patients regarding the risks and benefits of these novel regimens.
    • Develop a rational therapeutic approach to the sequencing of systemic therapies for patients with advanced RCC who experience disease progression on first-line treatment, incorporating multikinase inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, immunotherapeutic agents and other therapies.
    • Recognize side effects and toxicities commonly associated with approved and investigational agents and regimens for RCC, and use this information to develop supportive care plans for patients.
    • Recall available and emerging data with other investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for RCC, and where applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
