Improving Patient Adherence and Quality of Life in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC): Anticipating and Managing Treatment Related Adverse Events Associated with Emerging Combination Regimens

A continuing medical education activity sponsored by NAMCP and AAMCN.

Novel Treatment Approaches in the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC): What Managed Care Needs to Know About Emerging Combination Regimens is a 3-part live webinar series that will provide attendees with the latest information in the management of HCC

This is Part 2 of the series focusing on improving clinical and economic outcomes in HCC

This activity is an archive from the webinar held March 25, 2020

This activity is valid from April 1, 2020 to April 1, 2022

Description:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, accounting for about 90% of cases of primary liver cancer in the US. In 2019, it was expected that liver cancer accounted for approximately 788,000 deaths globally, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Prognosis is especially poor for those with unresectable HCC. Fortunately, new agents have recently been approved that provide new options for clinicians in the first-line setting. Additionally, targeted therapy and immunotherapy combinations have shown improved efficacy and safety in recent clinical trials. In this webinar series, attendees will learn about the latest data necessary to make appropriate formulary decisions and care for patients with HCC around these targeted and immunotherapy combination options, especially as more are approved and become available.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Identify challenges to patient adherence and quality of life in the use of targeted and immunotherapeutic agents, and their combinations, in HCC

• Examine adverse events commonly associated with targeted therapies and immunotherapies, both alone or in combination, used in HCC treatment

• Explore strategies to monitor and manage adverse events associated of emerging combination regimens in HCC in order to improve patient adherence and quality of life

• Review recent clinical data around the safety of targeted agents and immunotherapies and their effect on patient quality of life

• Assess how treatment strategies can be affected by adverse events based on patient’s individualized needs
