Release Date: September 30, 2020
Expiration Date: September 29, 2021

This educational activity is jointly provided by AXIS Medical Education and
the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC).

This activity is supported by educational grants from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, Genentech, Astellas and Seattle Genetics, Inc.

Target audience

The target audience for this initiative includes medical oncologists, urologic oncologists, urologists, advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners, physician assistants, oncology pharmacists), oncology nurses, and other healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in treating patients with urothelial carcinoma.

Overview

In a recent survey of community cancer care professionals conducted by the Association of Community Cancer Centers, bladder was reported to be one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers after breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal. For many community oncologists, it is hard to stay abreast of clinical updates and changing treatment recommendations across all tumor types. This initiative will summarize recent clinical data for immunotherapies and emerging targeted therapies used to treat advanced and metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Strategies for identification and management of treatment-related adverse events, as well as effective solutions for improving multidisciplinary care coordination, will also be covered.  

Objectives

At the end of this educational initiative, for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, participants should be able to …

• Review available evidence for the use of checkpoint inhibitors and novel agents, including antibody drug conjugates and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors
• Explore strategies for identification and management of immune-related and FGFR inhibitor-associated adverse events
• Outline effective solutions for improving coordination and communication within the multidisciplinary cancer care team to improve patient outcomes
