Instructions for CME/NCPD: Complete the pre-test, listen to the
audio and view the slides, complete the post test, complete the
evaluation form and hit submit. You will be asked to enter your name
and email address on the pre-test, evaluation and post-test. If you
close your internet browser without completing the post test, you
will have ONE more opportunity to complete. A score of 70% must be
achieved on the post test to receive continuing education credits.
If you do not pass the post test after two attempts, you will not be
eligible to try again. Once you complete the evaluation form and
score 70% or higher on your post test, you will automatically be
given your certificate.
To print or save your certificate, you will need to click on the
“download” button and either print or save.

Description:
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid line of
blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white
blood cells that build up in the bone marrow and interfere with the
production of normal blood cells. AML is the most common acute
leukemia affecting adults, and its incidence increases with age.
Although AML is a relatively rare disease, accounting for roughly
1.2% of cancer deaths in the United States, its incidence is
expected to increase as the population ages. The American Cancer
Society estimates that there were approximately 20,050 new cases of
AML and 11,540 deaths from AML in the United States in 2022. The
five-year survival rate has not improved in older patients despite
40 years of research. Fortunately for patients with AML, many new
treatments are now here. New options, which have the ability to
target certain types of mutations, have been approved in AML for the
first time since 1990. With so many new options becoming available
in the past few years, the treatment paradigm in AML, especially in
relapsed or refractory and high-risk disease and in maintenance
settings, has drastically changed. With that change comes a
knowledge gap among physician medical directors, oncologists,
practicing physicians and nurses. For this reason, it is critical
that these HCPs are educated and updated on these emerging options
and strategies for their implementation into the treatment paradigm,
which will ultimately improve patient outcomes in the AML patient
population.
Upon completion of this
activity, participants will be able to:
-
Assess the clinical and economic
burden of AML, including factors that contribute to poor
prognosis and increased costs
-
Analyze recent data on the efficacy
and safety of novel therapeutics in AML, including newer
targeted, cytotoxic, and antibody-based strategies, in a range
of patient populations
-
Summarize clinical,
molecular/genetic, and pathologic features of secondary AML and
cite efficacy and safety evidence surrounding the use of novel
therapeutics in these patients
-
Cite efficacy and safety evidence
surrounding the use of novel therapeutics in patients with
secondary AML
-
Outline the recommended treatment
algorithm for secondary AML and align treatment with patient
characteristics
-
Employ interventions such as
clinical pathways and site of care initiatives for optimal cost
management and improved outcomes in AML, including secondary AML
