Program Overview
The management of patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) requires multi-modality treatment through multidisciplinary approaches, especially for more complex cases, including high-risk and recurrent disease. In addition, recent advances in immunotherapy can improve outcomes for patients with advanced BCC and advanced cSCC. Treatment options for patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease can be optimized when clinicians are up to date with the latest immunotherapies and guidelines. In the case of resectable disease, the use of immunotherapies can also be considered upon multidisciplinary consultation. In this three-module on-demand educational series, learn more about how to integrate evidence-based multi-modality therapies for BCC and cSCC, the efficacy and safety of immunotherapies to select the most appropriate therapy for each patient as well as the latest guidelines for BCC and cSCC management and adverse events associated with immunotherapy. A live-online and on-demand activity with expert commentary from Dr. James Grichnik, Dr. Lilia Correa, and Dr. Nikhil Khushalani will discuss clinical controversies, highlight modules 1-3 and review expert multidisciplinary approaches.
Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Evaluate current practice gaps in BCC and cSCC to align multidisciplinary therapeutic goals
- Apply guideline-based treatment goals and multidisciplinary approaches to the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic BCC and cSCC
- Review the rationale for effective use of immune checkpoint inhibitors as part of the BCC and cSCC treatment algorithms
- Outline adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and approaches to mitigate them
