Practical Application of Immuno-Oncology in Renal Cell Carcinoma (6/26/2020)

The goal of this activity is to improve participants’ competence in and performance at applying practice-changing clinical data, expert recommendations, and guidelines to optimize the use of immuno-oncology–based combinations in the care of their patients with RCC.

Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Individualized Patient Care - Head and Neck Cancer
Health-related quality of life issues are paramount in head and neck (H&N) cancers, since these tumors affect basic physiologic functions (i.e., the ability to chew, swallow, and breathe), the senses (i.e., taste, smell, hearing), and uniquely human characteristics (i.e., appearance, voice).

NCCN Pharmacy Updates: Emerging Strategies in the Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism
Expanded indications for the use of the direct oral anticoagulants demand diligent monitoring. Health care professionals play a crucial role in the management of anticoagulation in cancer patients and anticoagulation monitoring clinics may need to rechannel resources to include these agents.
NCCN Pharmacy Updates: Treatment Advances for Pediatric B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas
This is a potentially curable malignancy and systemic therapy is the mainstay of treatment. Understanding the diagnosis, workup, and subsequent treatment for early stage and later stage disease will improve understanding and subsequently, education for patients and caregivers alike.
NCCN Pharmacy Updates: Establishing a Place in Therapy for Biosimilars in Oncology
Clinical oncology pharmacists have the opportunity to provide education on biosimilars and be a part of the multi-disciplinary decision-making process for incorporating biosimilars into practice sites. In addition, pharmacists will need training on reporting post-marketing surveillance data regarding immunogenicity, product variability and drift of biosimilars as use becomes widespread.
NCCN Pharmacy Updates: Novel Treatments for Neuroendocrine Tumors
While there is a brand new treatment option for neuroendocrine tumors, it requires a wide array of practical guidance to be given safely and effectively.  Practitioners need to be well versed in patient eligibility, patient preparation for treatment, dosing, administration, and management of side effects.
NCCN Pharmacy Updates: Assessment and Management of CAR T-Cell Related Toxicities
CAR T-cell products have the ability to completely change the treatment paradigm for hematologic malignancies.  These therapies are associated with life-threatening toxicities that require rapid intervention. Newly published consensus statements to better define and grade these toxicities should be incorporated into clinical practice.
NCCN Pharmacy Updates: New Targets in Breast Cancer Therapy
Triple-negative breast cancer continues to be labeled with a poor prognosis secondary to the fact that it tends to be more aggressive and poses a greater risk of recurrence. Because it lacks the receptors that many drugs have been designed to target, the standard of practices remains chemotherapy. Therefore, research has been focused on trying to identify other therapeutic targets for which we already have agents or are currently developing agents.
Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Individualized Patient Care - Prostate Cancer
Clinicians need up-to-date information about when and how to use molecular assays to inform individual patient risk; the side effects of ADT and management options for these side effects; and the results of recent clinical trials in the non-metastatic CRPC setting, so that patients can receive optimal care and delay the onset of metastases as long as possible.
