Impact of Prevention: Updates in Vaccine Development
Healthcare providers (HCPs) encounter significant challenges in vaccine acceptance. A critical need exists among primary care providers (PCPs) to remain abreast of the continuously evolving vaccination landscape. As such, PCPs need to be able to evaluate the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, provide well-founded recommendations for vaccine measures, and apply appropriate strategies to address vaccine hesitations.
Supporting the Family Caregiver
The role of the treatment team in supporting the family caregiver. What you will learn from this module: Learn the physical and emotional needs of the caregiver managing the patient at home. Understand the stress and challenges loved ones face while caregiving. Realize that oftentimes the oncologist’s focus is solely on the patient and not on the loved one who is caregiving. Understand that a caregiver for a patient might be someone outside of the family- like a close friend. This can be due to the lack of family members, dysfunctional family dynamics, or ages of family members (young and old).
Communicating with Family, Friends and Coworkers
Advising Patients How To Communicate Information to Others about their Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment. What you will learn from this module: Learn about cancer patients feel isolated from their usual social community. Understand a cancer patients frustrations with lay people who insist on giving them advice how to manage their cancer. Learn about some metastatic breast cancer patients feeling angry when questioned by acquaintances if they “really have cancer.” Learn about the assumptions society makes regarding physical appearance of someone with cancer. Learn about the societal stigma associated with some cancers. Understand that barriers can exist within certain races regarding sharing cancer information with anyone, even family.
Enhancing Patient Care for CAR T-Cell Therapy in NHL: Comprehensive Solutions for Your Community
In this Build Your Own Case Study | Enhancing Patient Care for CAR T-Cell Therapy in NHL: Comprehensive Solutions for Your Community, learn from expert faculty about the most recent clinical updates and emerging real-world efficacy and safety data of CAR T-cell therapies in NHL. Build Your Own Case Study will guide participants through an interactive learning progression, as they go through two patient scenarios and make selections at critical decision points. Participants will be provided with patient clinical presentation and other relevant factors including age, time and aggressiveness of relapse, social history, genetic profiling/molecular testing results, cytogenetic risk factors, disease subtype, comorbidities, and prior therapies in order to make appropriate treatment decisions. Expert faculty will discuss participant selection of treatments, sequencing considerations, and drug-related toxicities. The activity will conclude with a discussion on how to develop strategies to assist patients with coordinated care and long-term disease management after the receipt of CAR T-cell therapy. This ancillary educational activity is derived from the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting, originally held on May 31, 2024
Weight Management as a Treatment for T2D: Novel Pharmacological Approaches
Healthcare providers (HCPs) encounter significant challenges when treating patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). HCPs should be cognizant of when to change or intensify treatment and be aware of options that are non-optimal. As such, HCPs need to be equipped with current professional guidelines, the latest clinical evidence on new and emerging therapies for T2D, and strategies for engaging patients in shared decision-making to effectively prioritize weight management and promote comprehensive T2D care.
The Importance of Being Honest
Of everything we do for our patients, the most important thing we can give them is honesty. What you will learn from this module: Learn that being honest with patients about their disease and its prognosis is very important for patients to know so they can plan out the remainder of their lives. Honesty doesn’t take away hope; it helps the patient move through phases of hope. 50% of the time, doctors do not disclose the patients’ actual prognosis. Patients do not understand or know the difference between palliative chemotherapy and active chemotherapy treatments, unless they are told.  Teaching patients to be optimistic for as long as it is realistic, while having an end of life plan in place should be our mantra. Avoidance of honesty may be linked to an oncologist’s feelings of believing they have failed the patient by not being able to save or sustain their life.
