ForwardArchived Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: Uveal Melanoma: Treatment of Metastatic Disease
The management of metastatic uveal melanoma still presents a major clinical challenge among physicians. Since the most common site of metastasis is the liver, and efficient management of liver metastases can improve disease outcome, it is important for healthcare providers to be aware of the most current recommendations by the NCCN Panel. Uveal melanoma can also metastasize to sites other than the liver, and while existing treatment options are limited, recent exciting clinical trial results offer hope for these patients.
Target Audience
This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians/oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.
Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:
- Identify disease and patient characteristics indicative of poor prognoses for metastatic uveal melanoma.
- Outline treatment options for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma.
- Summarize existing challenges to the treatment of patients with metastatic uveal melanoma.
