Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma: Combination, Sequential Strategies, & Immunotherapy (3/30/2017 in New York, NY)

New York, TX US
March 30, 2017

The advent of targeted therapies has significantly transformed outcomes for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), yet cure remains elusive. Due to improved efficacy and decreased toxicity, many patients are healthy enough to consider second, third or further lines of therapy after progression in the front line setting. Clinicians managing advanced RCC are challenged by a variety of factors, including the need to keep up with new data on all treatment options, select therapies on an individual case basis, use the optimal sequence or combination of therapies, and effectively manage side effects of all agents.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for US-based oncologists, NPs, urologists and other healthcare professionals involved in treating patients with renal cell carcinoma.

Upon completion of this course, the participants should be able to:

  • Review clinical data on established and emerging therapies for patients with advanced RCC
