This Seminar & Multidisciplinary Tumor Board program will pair insightful commentary on emerging systemic and locoregional options in HCC with clinical insights from different disciplines. Each Tumor Board segment will feature a case-centered discussion on the increasingly important multidisciplinary team-based management of patients across the HCC disease continuum. Hear an in-depth conversation on how the HCC management team can successfully collaborate to offer the best possible care to their patients. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be better able to: Assess the latest efficacy and safety evidence on available and emerging systemic treatments, including multikinase inhibitors, anti-angiogenic agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (as monotherapy or within a combination strategy) for patients with advanced HCC, Review ongoing clinical trials and recent data for innovative strategies, including tumor treating fields, and locoregional combinations with systemic therapies, across the HCC disease spectrum, Develop personalized treatment plans for patients with early- to advanced-stage HCC, inclusive of clinical trial enrollment when appropriate, that are based on the latest clinical evidence, practice guidelines, treatment history, and other patient- and disease-specific factors, Apply best practices for collaboration and coordination of care among the multidisciplinary HCC care team to optimize patient assessment and treatment and minimize treatment-related toxicities.

Are you integrating the latest optimal treatments into the management plans for your patients with esophageal/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer? The approval of the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab in the adjuvant setting has provided a new opportunity for patients to achieve longer disease-free survival, a goal that had not been attainable with conventional modalities. Despite guideline recommendations and clinical evidence demonstrating the role of immunotherapy in esophageal/GEJ cancer, many eligible patients are not receiving this game-changing treatment, and patients in other settings are not being enrolled in clinical trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors. By combining in-depth discussions on the latest data and key clinical issues with expert guidance on integrating immunotherapy into multimodal practice, PeerView’s Candid Conversations & Clinical Consults event is designed to help clinicians incorporate new standards of care into the treatment of their patients with esophageal/GEJ cancer. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how thoracic surgeons, oncologists, and other oncology team members can collaborate to bring practice-changing science into the clinic. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Identify appropriate patients with resectable esophageal/GEJ cancer who are candidates for adjuvant therapy with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, Apply multimodal treatment protocols for locally advanced or earlier-stage esophageal/GEJ cancer to incorporate novel immunotherapy options for eligible patients, either in the context of clinical practice or through clinical trial participation, based on the latest evidence, indications, guideline recommendations, and patient-centered factors, Collaborate with the broader multidisciplinary team to optimally integrate novel immunotherapy options into individualized treatment plans, including strategies to promptly recognize and manage potential immune-related adverse events, for patients with locally advanced or early-stage esophageal/GEJ cancer.

Novel medical technologies have revolutionized the therapeutic management of difficult-to-treat cancers. In particular, tumor treating fields (TTFields) therapy, which is a state-of-the-art, noninvasive modality that harnesses low intensity alternating electric fields to selectively disrupt tumor cell division and migration, has demonstrated clear benefits in terms of clinical efficacy and minimal toxicity in solid tumors. Approved for the therapeutic management of recurrent and newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) as well as unresectable, previously untreated malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), TTFields therapy in combination with other conventional cancer treatments is being explored in a number of ongoing clinical trials in patients with a range of solid tumors, including lung, pancreatic, gastric, liver, and ovarian cancers. This CME-accredited activity features a review of the latest advancements in cancer technology, along with expert insights and case discussions on the optimal integration and use of recently validated locoregional therapies, such as TTFields, in the clinic. The expert panel will also discuss key safety and efficacy data from recent pivotal clinical trials studying multimodal treatment strategies in GBM, MPM, and other solid tumor types. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Describe the mechanistic rationale and clinical evidence for validated locoregional therapies, such as tumor treating fields (TTFields), for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), Appraise new clinical evidence on investigational multimodal strategies with synergistic mechanisms of action (eg, TTFields in combination with systemic therapy, radiotherapy, or other modalities) across a range of solid tumor types, including lung, pancreatic, gastric, liver, and ovarian cancers, Integrate novel locoregional therapies into the therapeutic management of appropriately selected patients with GBM, MPM, or other solid tumors, including via clinical trial enrollment, Implement team-based strategies to minimize and manage adverse events associated with novel therapeutic modalities in patients with solid tumors.
