Program Overview
This program will provide expert faculty perspectives on the optimal integration of new classes of agents and treatment regimens into the management of MCL and DLBCL, and contextualize the role of prognostic and predictive biomarkers for risk stratification and personalization of patient care using clinical case studies to illustrate how to utilize precision medicine approaches for the selection and sequencing of therapy to achieve optimal efficacy and safety.
Goal Statement
The goal of this program is to improve the knowledge and competence of learners in selecting individualized treatments for patients with MCL and DLBCL.
Target Audience
This educational program is intended for medical oncologists and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with B‑cell lymphomas.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Order and interpret molecular profiling for appropriate patients with MCL and DLBCL to guide therapy selection
- Select treatment regimens for patients with MCL and DLBCL based on available clinical data, disease characteristics, and individual patient goals and preferences to optimize clinical outcomes
- Identify patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma who would likely benefit from enrollment on a clinical trial
- Mitigate, monitor, and manage adverse events associated with newer therapeutic regimens used in the treatment of MCL and DLBCL
