Live CME/MOC-accredited webinar

Topics to Be Discussed

  • Module 1: Hepatocellular Carcinoma
  • Module 2: Biliary Tract Cancers

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

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

  • Consider age, performance status, degree of liver function and other clinical and logistical factors in the selection of first-line therapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • Appreciate Phase III data leading to the FDA approval of novel first-line treatment strategies for unresectable or metastatic HCC, and discuss how these can be optimally integrated into the clinical care of patients with this disease.
  • Evaluate the rationale for and available and emerging data with the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies for patients with HCC in order to determine the current and future roles of these novel regimens.
  • Establish an evidence-based approach to the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic options for progressive HCC.
  • Discuss the biologic justification for the evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with advanced biliary tract cancers, and review available and emerging data with the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based approaches.
  • Recognize the molecular heterogeneity of cholangiocarcinomas and other biliary tract cancers, and appreciate the biologic rationale for efforts to exploit documented abnormalities in patients with these diseases.
  • Assess key data sets supporting the recent FDA approvals of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors for previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an FGFR fusion or other rearrangement, and consider how these agents can be appropriately and safely integrated into clinical management algorithms.
  • Recall available and emerging data with investigational agents and strategies currently in clinical testing for hepatobiliary cancers, and where applicable, refer eligible patients for trial participation.
