New Systemic Therapies in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Program Overview
For over a decade, sorafenib was the only systemic agent available for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the past 2.5 years has added 6 additional agents. In this Clinical ForumSM, our multidisciplinary expert roundtable convenes to discuss their collaborative care strategies for first and subsequent line management of advanced HCC using case-based scenarios.
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of oncology providers, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who manage patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
Appropriately utilize multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the management of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on clinical evidence for their use
Incorporate immune checkpoint inhibitors in the management of advanced HCC based on their efficacy and safety data
Select appropriate therapy for patients with advanced HCC across multiple lines of therapy
