Topics to Be Discussed

  • Incorporation of Novel Agents and Strategies into the Management of Soft Tissue Sarcomas
  • Evolving Treatment Paradigm for Locally Aggressive Soft Tissue Tumors

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of desmoid tumors.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Recognize the histologic diversity of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), and appreciate the importance of appropriate assessment and accurate diagnosis to facilitate optimal treatment and long-term outcomes for patients.
  • Consider the influences of age, histology, extent of disease and other clinical and biological factors on the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with STS.
  • Explore the clinical trial database supporting the use of agents with established activity in various subtypes of STS, such as multitargeted tyrosine kinase, TRK, mTOR and EZH2 inhibitors, and use this information to identify patients for whom treatment with these strategies may be appropriate.
  • Appreciate the relevance of the MDM2-p53 pathway in STS pathogenesis and proliferation, and appraise the mechanism of action of, available data with and ongoing efforts evaluating novel agents directed at this potential therapeutic target.
  • Understand the incidence, risk factors, etiology and clinical presentation of desmoid tumors in order to optimally diagnose patients with this disease.
  • Evaluate the scientific rationale for targeting the gamma secretase complex and Notch pathway as a therapeutic approach for desmoid tumors, and review available research findings establishing the efficacy and clinical role of this novel treatment strategy.
  • Assess the biological rationale for the evaluation of colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor inhibitors for patients with tenosynovial giant cell tumors, and consider the current role of these agents in the management of this disease.
  • Recall new data with investigational agents and strategies demonstrating promising activity in STS and other connective tissue disorders, and, where applicable, refer eligible patients for trial participation.
