Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) - An Update on Patient Management Strategies
SELF STUDY / ENDURING - ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETE ACTIVITY: 60 Minutes
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CLL) accounts for 15% of all adult leukemias. In this webcast, expert faculty will discuss the basics of CLL, differences in hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular response levels to treatment, and improvements that have been made in disease detection through BCR-ABL gene assessment. Faculty will review the mechanism of action of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and use in patients with relapsed disease. Participants will learn how treatment selection occurs through response assessment, how TKIs are used in CLL, and how to manage adverse events associated with TKI therapies.
Target Audience
This CME initiative was designed for oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, NPs, PAs, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with cancer.
Learning Objectives
1. Define what characterizes hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular response levels based upon guideline recommendations in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)
2. Identify how a FISH panel and quantitative BCR-ABL results are used to improve the sensitivity of disease detection and inform treatment selection
3. Summarize the mechanism of action of novel oral pharmacotherapies used for upfront and refractory treatment of CML
