In this activity, an expert in venous thromboembolism (VTE) reviews the latest clinical science and guidelines pertaining to cancer-associated VTE prophylaxis and treatment. This video-based program also focuses on strategies to help learners prepare for the practical integration of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in cancer-associated VTE and illustrates how this development can lead to clinical improvements in the prevention and management of VTE in the cancer setting. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Use established clinical tools to assess the risk for VTE in patients preparing to receive anticancer therapy, Summarize current evidence and guidelines on VTE treatment and prophylaxis including the use of direct oral anticoagulation in patients with cancer, Apply updated evidence on the use of DOACs as initial VTE therapy and/or thromboprophylaxis in the cancer setting.

In this activity, recorded from a live event at the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, a panel of kidney cancer experts offers case-centric discussion of key evidence that supports clinical decision-making through multiple lines of therapy in advanced RCC, as well as practical instruction on how to effectively and safely integrate novel targeted and immunotherapeutic strategies in an increasingly complex RCC treatment landscape. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Summarize the latest evidence and ongoing investigations with novel approaches, including new multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), immune checkpoint inhibitors, and combination therapies, in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), Select optimal frontline treatment options among TKIs and combination approaches (dual checkpoint inhibition or targeted agents plus immune checkpoint inhibitors) for individual patients with advanced RCC based on relevant patient- and disease-related characteristics, including in the context of clinical trial enrollment, Recommend targeted agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors optimally to patients with pretreated advanced RCC through multiple lines of therapy, with considerations of prior treatment history and patient comorbidities, Employ effective strategies to prevent and/or manage treatment-related complications with multitargeted TKIs and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with RCC.
