Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) treatment options and management strategies are evolving, and the multiplicity of clinical manifestations, both near- and long-term, makes diagnosis and management of the disease complex. The development of plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) further negatively impacts patients’ clinical outcomes and quality of life. These challenges necessitate an integrated, longitudinal management approach that encompasses the totality of the interprofessional, multidisciplinary te...

| Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) presents unique diagnostic and management challenges due to its multisystem involvement and complex neuro-oncologic manifestations. Despite recent advances, including the use of mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors, many neurology and neuro-oncology clinicians face difficulties translating novel and emerging clinical trial data into everyday practice, particularly in identifying candidates for mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors, managing ...

In this enduring CEC ONS Chapter installment, expert faculty will review emerging data on ADC use for HER2-neg MBC and share insights and strategies on the impact of AEs associated with ADC use and approaches to the management of AEs associated with ADCs in this patient population.

In this CEC Oncology recorded, case-based symposium, expert faculty will discuss diagnosis and disease challenges over a person’s lifespan; explore the integration of MEK inhibitors in the management of NF1-associated PNs in pediatric patients; and consider comprehensive interprofessional care plans that include disease monitoring, toxicity management, and individualizing disease treatment across the patient’s lifespan.

In this CE Concepts Grand Rounds podcast, expert faculty will explore the latest clinical trial data on novel treatment options for patients with resistant/recurrent (R/R) CLL/SLL, utilization of an evidence-based approach for personalizing treatment for patients with R/R MCL, and prioritization of patient adherence and active engagement through development of multidisciplinary frameworks to oversee and address adverse events. The faculty will also provide insight through case-based discussio...

The reduced incidence of cervical cancer over the past few decades was primarily due to robust screening guidelines and vaccinations. However, despite the proliferation of screening programs, the diagnosis of cervical cancer is associated with inefficiencies and inconsistencies and has not decreased cervical cancer incidence further over the past decade. Additionally, numerous health care disparities persist as unaddressed medical needs, particularly for individuals with marginalized sexualit...

The treatment paradigm in bladder cancer has fundamentally changed over the past decade, and the evolving, dense clinical trial landscape has given rise to barriers to optimizing patient care. This webcast will focus on emerging trial data for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs); sequence optimization, combinatorial therapy utilization, and identification of when and in which patients to use ADCs; and anticipation, recognition, and management of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) in patient...

Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and those with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer after the development of endocrine resistance, have limited treatment options. Black women are diagnosed more often with TNBC and feel the lack of treatment options more acutely, leading to greater outcomes disparities. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that may improve outcomes for patients. However, clinicians lack the ability to implement them into practice appropriatel...

Reducing barriers to adequate anticoagulation for patients with cancer improves outcomes for those with cancer-associated venous thromboembolisms (CA-VTEs). Advances in cancer treatments and the resulting improvements in patient survival have led to an increase in the number of patients with cancer who develop a VTE at some point during their treatment (around 15%). CA-VTE is associated with decreased survival, increased morbidity and hospitalization, and the potential delay or in...

Expert faculty will then lead attendees on an immersive, deep dive through the ...

This educational session will comprehensively evaluate the current state of the bladder cancer management paradigm and investigate the emergence of new data across the totality of the disease continuum, with a particular emphasis on evidence-based treatment sequencing and the role of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in subsequent lines of therapy for advanced disease. To conclude the session, activity attendees will get to apply the therapeutic principles they’ve learned to real-world clinical...
