- Identify and manage immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with immunotherapy-containing regimens.
- Assess the appropriate roles for new therapies in the current treatment landscape of relapsed or refractory advanced RCC in the veteran population.
- Integrate new therapeutic approaches into treatment plans for veterans with RCC within the VHA/MHS/DoD healthcare system.
Activity Description
This educational activity is designed to provide the healthcare team with the latest developments and critical insights into the management of advanced renal cell carcinoma. This education will support the healthcare professional in his/her practice setting with the essential tools to critically evaluate efficacy, safety, clinical effectiveness, and application of available therapies.
Statement of Educational Need
The treatment paradigm for advanced RCC has evolved rapidly in recent years with the arrival of next-generation TKIs and combination approaches with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Despite these advancements, patients continue to exhibit inferior outcomes. To provide optimal patient care, clinicians require in-depth education surrounding these novel treatments, including the most recent clinical data regarding the efficacy and safety of these agents, current guideline recommendations, appropriate management of potential AEs, and approaches to select among available options and combinations in the first-line setting and beyond for patients with advanced RCC. Therefore, clinician education is urgently needed to improve outcomes for patients with RCC.

The Evolving Treatment Landscape for Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome
StartActivity Details
1.0 Contact Hour(s)
Expires: June 2, 2023
Accredited By
Rush University Medical Center
Co-Provided By
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of hematologists/oncologists, community oncologists, hematologists/oncologists, oncology nurses and NPs, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with MDS.
Learning Objectives
After completing this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe approaches for MDS diagnosis, classification, and risk stratification using hematologic, morphologic, clinical, and cytogenetic assessments
- Outline available treatment approaches and associated outcomes for patients with MDS based on risk stratification, patient factors, clinical evidence, and available guidelines
- Evaluate the clinical data regarding the efficacy and safety of emerging therapies for the treatment of patients with higher-risk MDS
- Review factors that may impact consideration of clinical trial participation in patients with higher-risk MDS
Activity Description
Numerous new targeted therapies have emerged in recent years with early indications of benefit in patients with higher-risk MDS, particularly in combination with HMAs. These emerging options, which employ novel mechanisms of action and distinct molecular targets, may represent the first targeted therapies to improve outcomes in patients with higher-risk MDS. However, given the recent rapid emergence of data, clinicians are challenged to remain up to date on the latest evidence and the potential role of these therapies in the treatment landscape for patients with high-risk MDS. This education will support the healthcare professional in his/her practice setting with the essential tools to critically evaluate efficacy, safety, clinical effectiveness, and application. Clinicians will hear up-to-date information on the latest evidence and the potential role of these therapies in the treatment landscape for patients with MDS.
Statement of Educational Need
With the recent advances in targeted therapies for higher-risk MDS, the use of investigational agents is anticipated to expand over the coming years. The introduction of these new agents and combinations into the clinic will likely change the therapeutic landscape for MDS and given the highly variable nature of the disease, will likely create uncertainty over differences in patients who may benefit, efficacy of emerging agents, optimal sequencing and combinations, and safety of the new agents and combinations. To provide optimal patient care, clinicians must be prepared with a comprehensive understanding of the appropriate diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with MDS, current evidence-based recommendations for the management of the disease, and the clinical utility of agents that could significantly impact patient outcomes.

StartActivity Details
1.0 Contact Hour(s)
Expires: April 11, 2023
Accredited By
Rush University Medical Center
Co-Provided By
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of community oncologists, hematology/oncologists, oncology nurses and NPs, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Learning Objectives
After completing this program, participants should be able to:
- Utilize testing for prognostic and predictive markers to stratify risk and optimize treatment selection for patients with CLL
- Employ the latest evidence and available guidelines to select among available therapeutic options in the first-line setting or for relapsed/refractory disease, including considerations for optimal sequencing of therapies
- Describe the clinical data regarding efficacy and safety of emerging therapies and approaches for the treatment of patients with CLL
- Outline acute and long-term safety considerations and factors influencing adherence to CLL treatment and evidence-based strategies to manage these considerations
Activity Description
This education activity is designed to provide the healthcare team with the latest developments and critical insights into treating their patients with CLL. This education will support the healthcare professional in his/her practice setting with the essential tools to critically evaluate efficacy, safety, clinical effectiveness, and application.
Statement of Educational Need
With the recent advances in targeted therapies for CLL, the use of approved and investigational agents is anticipated to expand over the coming years. The introduction of new agents and combinations into the clinic have provided additional effective treatment options but have also created uncertainty over differences in patients who may benefit, efficacy of available and emerging agents, optimal sequencing and combinations, and safety among the available agents. To provide optimal patient care, clinicians must be prepared with a comprehensive understanding of the clinical utility of agents that could significantly impact outcomes for patients with CLL.
