Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of community-based physicians and teams, including malignant hematologists or hematologic oncologists, medical oncologists, oncology nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other members of the CLL care team.
Program Overview
As targeted therapies have become the standard of care in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), it is increasingly important to refine therapy selection based on risk stratification. An in-depth analysis of community-based CLL practice patterns, registry data, and clinical guidelines can provide a benchmark for your own practice. Does your practice align with current evidence?
Hear from expert clinicians, Dr. Danielle Brander and Dr. Nilanjan Ghosh, as they explore current data and the patient and care-team factors that influence selection of therapy for CLL in the community setting. The panel will provide practical strategies to apply in your practice; which may can include improving timely testing, documentation, risk-stratification, treatment selection, and CLL management. Walk away with ready-to-implement actions to improve your team’s management of newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory CLL.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Apply the findings from the infomCLL study as they relate to prognostic and cytogenetic testing in patients with CLL/SLL
- Compare and contrast efficacy and safety data for guideline-recommended therapy options in the frontline setting
- Integrate targeted therapy into point-of-care decisions for patients with CLL
- Evaluate real-world patient-provider data to align on therapeutic goals, guideline-adherent practices, and delivery of quality care
