ForwardRecorded Presentation from the NCCN 2015 Congress Webinar Series: GU Cancers - Recognition and Management of Toxicities Associated with the Treatment of RCC
This educational initiative addresses healthcare professionals’ need to be educated on practice-changing developments in the management of advanced genitourinary cancers that have taken center stage in recent years. The expansion of treatment options has improved patient care but has presented numerous clinical challenges.
For example, despite significant improvements in responses and survival with the use of TKIs and mTOR inhibitors as first-line therapy in patients with RCC, progression is universal in these patients. This underscores the need to understand optimal second-line therapy, optimal sequence of therapies, and novel treatment approaches such as immunotherapeutics that are currently in various phases of clinical development.
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, urologists, and other healthcare professionals who manage patients with GU cancers.
Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the toxicities of current targeted therapies used in the treatment of advanced RCC and outline the strategies used to effectively manage these toxicities
- Employ appropriate patient education regarding toxicities associated with individual treatment plans

The ACCME/ANCC/ACPE defines “conflict of interest” as when an individual has an opportunity to affect CE content about products or services of a commercial interest with which he/she has a financial relationship.
ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC focuses on financial relationships with commercial interests in the 12-month period preceding the time that the individual is being asked to assume a role controlling content of the CE activity. ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC have not set a minimal dollar amount for relationships to be significant. Inherent in any amount is the incentive to maintain or increase the value of the relationship. The ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC defines “’relevant’ financial relationships” as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest.
All faculty for this continuing education activity are competent in the subject matter and qualified by experience, training, and/or preparation to the tasks and methods of delivery.
