Nonmelanoma Skin Cancers, Immunotherapies, and Role of Dermatology Clinicians: A Care Team Forum®
Program Overview
The advent of immunotherapy has transformed dermatologic care, offering hope to patients with advanced NMSC. As the treatment armamentarium expands, clinicians must carefully weigh evolving data in order to optimize outcomes in BCC and CSCC.
Join us for this live webstream to hear our interprofessional expert panel offer privileged insights into evidence-based strategies for the identification of high-risk disease, selection of checkpoint inhibitors, and the management of immune-related adverse events. Uniquely, this panel discussion also features an experienced patient who will augment these insights with teaching moments from their treatment journey.
This activity is intended for dermatology and medical oncology clinicians (MD/DO/NP/PA) and all of those who manage patients with advanced nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC).
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
Identify high-risk patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) based on current staging systems, risk factors, and guidelines
Select appropriate checkpoint inhibitors in the management of patients with advanced NMSC
Integrate the unique roles and responsibilities of the interprofessional care team when managing patients with advanced NMSC
