AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (31.75 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (31.75 hours)

The treatment of solid tumors continues to evolve and clinicians must stay abreast of the current information and recent therapeutic advances. Many tumor types require multidisciplinary treatment; many therapies previously studied only in advanced and metastatic settings are now applied in early curative stages as well. Healthcare professionals who care for cancer patients in different stages of disease need to understand the basis for these therapies. Additionally, HCPs must apply the preclinical and clinical data supporting the development and integration of these new therapies into their clinical practice. This educational conference will interactively address current management controversies, updates, and novel therapies for multiple tumor types. It will bring together experts from multiple disciplines involved in the treatment of various solid tumors. The expected outcome is further integration of new cancer care developments into the clinical practice of surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and allied healthcare professionals who care for cancer patients.

1. Utilize an appropriate sequence for surgical, radiation and chemotherapeutic intervention into the treatment of head & neck cancer, gastrointestinal malignancies, melanoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, gynecologic cancer, and genitourinary cancers.
2. Describe and apply an optimal treatment approach when given patient scenarios representing a range of disease stages, clinical presentations and comorbidities.
3. Incorporate preventive, screening and symptom control modalities in oncology care.
4. Identify patients who will appropriately benefit from novel therapies in the treatment of solid tumors.
5. Utilize the different surgical, radiation, and systemic treatments including immunotherapies and molecular-targeted therapies for cancers at varying stages of disease.
