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.

Breast

Collaborative Management of Patients with Advanced Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer

The standard treatment approach for ER+ breast cancer includes surgery, radiation, or both, along with chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, or combinations of these approaches. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors represent a new form of cytotoxic chemotherapy. The major side effect is hematologic toxicity, however, this differs from the hematologic effects associated with conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy. This educational program will provide advanced practitioners valuable insight into the science behind CDK inhibition, when CDKs are indicated, how to monitor for and manage side effects, as well as when and how to dose adjust.

Aggressive Lymphomas

Nuances in the Management of Aggressive Lymphomas

Treatment for both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma now includes chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and new immunotherapies. As research continues to shine the light on tumor genetics, clinical variability, and new treatment approaches, advanced practitioners (APs) need to translate this information to the bedside in the management of aggressive lymphomas. This educational activity will provide APs with the latest update on emerging treatments for aggressive, relapsed/refractory lymphomas, as well as potential adverse events and how to manage them, with the goal of optimizing treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes.

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.

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.

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.
