CINV

Management of Patients with Chemotherapy - Induced Nausea and Vomiting

The first 5-HT3 antagonist was approved in 1991 for the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), leading to moving more chemotherapy regimens to the outpatient setting and improving adherence to treatment. Since then, several 5-HT3 antagonists and NK-1 receptor antagonists have been added to the armamentarium. Despite advances, CINV is often inadequately prevented and/or managed. This learning activity reviews current evidence-based interventions for the prevention and management of CINV, including physiologic mechanisms associated with CINV, strategies to target the pathways involved in CINV, and recommended guidelines.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy: Advances and Updates

One of the greatest advances in oncology over the past decade has been the recognition of cell surface proteins that are shown to play a key role in tumor immunogenicity; mechanisms in which tumors are able to avoid immune surveillance and destruction. Although immunotherapy is a relatively new approach to anti-cancer treatment, it is being utilized across multiple tumor types. This program highlights the science behind immunotherapy, immune-related adverse side effects (irAEs), monitoring and managing irAEs, the role of biomarkers, and differentiating pseudo-progression from actual disease progression.

Skin

Management of Patients with Skin Cancers: Basal Cell Carcinoma and Melanoma

Novel, cutting-edge therapies are changing the treatment paradigm for both melanoma and advanced/metastatic basal cell carcinoma. While immunotherapies are increasing survival benefits in melanoma, they are associated with unique, potentially severe or even lethal immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Many advanced practitioners lack familiarity with newer immunotherapies and hedgehog inhibitors. This learning activity will equip APs with the knowledge needed to provide safe, state-of-the-art care for their patients with melanoma or basal cell skin cancer.

Infectious Complications

Best Practices in the Management of Infectious Complications for Patients with Cancer

Immune suppression increases the risk for developing infection and/or sepsis. As antibiotic resistant bacteria are becoming ubiquitous, managing infection becomes more complex. Optimizing preventive measures, early diagnosis and management of infection is of the highest priority in cancer care. This educational activity will enable advanced practitioners to hone their skills in risk assessment, recognition and early intervention in the management of infection, optimizing treatment in the era of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and understand the role of biosimilars and their reference G-CSFs in the prophylaxis and treatment of febrile neutropenia.

VTE

Management of Venous Thromboembolism for Patients with Hematologic Malignancies

Advanced practitioners (APs) are an integral part of the cancer care team. Therefore, it is imperative they are knowledgeable of risk factors associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the oncology setting, including signs or symptoms and management. Early intervention is crucial. APs must also be able to differentiate between anticoagulation drugs and select the appropriate treatment for their patient with VTE. This educational program will provide the AP with an overview of VTE risks in cancer patients, indications and contraindications for prophylaxis or treatment, antidotes/reversal agents, and patient monitoring.

CAR-T

Understanding the Mechanism of Action for Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) Therapy

Adoptive immunotherapy involves engineering the patient’s own T-cells by artificially equipping them with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) which then enable them to bind to certain proteins on the surface of malignant cells. Referred to as CAR-T cell therapy, this form of treatment has had stunning results in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoma. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which can be severe and involve multi-organ failure, is a major potential toxicity. This program will provide advanced practitioners with cutting edge information about adoptive CAR-T cell immunotherapy, mechanism of action, unique and potentially serious side effects, and how to monitor for and manage CRS.
