Adjuvant treatment options for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following surgery are continually evolving, and new treatment options for different stages of RCC are being approved. It can be challenging for clinicians to remain up-to-date on these updates.
Clinical trials are continuing to investigate the role of induction chemotherapy prior to systemic therapy/radiation therapy for patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. New evidence regarding the addition of a PD-1 inhibitor to gemcitabine/cisplatin provides an emerging avenue of treatment for patients with recurrent or metastatic disease. It is important for clinicians to remain current on emerging treatment options for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Pharmacists play a critical role in patient education, monitoring, and management of treatment-related toxicities and would benefit from a comprehensive review of the novel treatments for indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
It is important to inform clinicians about this new section of the NCCN Guidelines for Neuroendocrine and Adrenal Tumors, which include recommendations for the evaluation, management, and surveillance of well-differentiated G3 NETs. Keeping clinicians abreast of updated treatment options may help improve clinical decision-making to better address patients’ medical needs.
Clinicians need to be knowledgeable about newer tools that can improve risk stratification, and they need to understand when these tools have the possibility to change management so that unnecessary testing can be avoided. In addition, clinicians should be educated about the heterogeneity among risk groups, so that nuanced discussions with patients can inform decisions surrounding active surveillance.

The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) are a set of step-by step evidence-based, consensus-driven recommendations to ensure that patients receive preventive, diagnostic, treatment, and supportive services that are most likely to lead to optimal outcomes.

It is important for health care professionals caring for pediatric patients with ALL to recognize aspects of optimal dosing and frequency, appropriate use in particular genomic alterations, mechanisms of resistance, and patient-specific counseling points to ensure efficacy and compliance of TKIs.
The standards of care in the first-line setting for the treatment of advanced or metastatic esophageal, esophagogastric junction and gastric cancer are evolving rapidly. There is a need to review the current landscape of treatment regimens and understand how to incorporate the new standards of care to effectively treat this patient population.

This program provides oncology nurses with comprehensive and clinically relevant information to optimize clinical care and patient education.

The NCCN 2022 Annual Conference is designed to fill real and important medical educational needs of cancer care providers to improve and facilitate quality, effective, efficient and accessible cancer care so patients can live better lives.
