Improving the Identification and Management of Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

PCE On Demand Live Presentation

Although most patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are diagnosed early in their disease course when curative treatment is possible, those experiencing recurrence and metastasis historically faced a poor prognosis. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has improved survival in patients with advanced cSCC. In this activity, a skin cancer specialist discusses the signs and symptoms of advanced cSCC, guidance and supporting evidence for ICIs, and best practices to identify and manage immune-related adverse events (irAEs).

Physician Assistants: maximum of 1.00 hours of AAPA Category 1 CME credits Registered Nurses: 1.00 Nursing contact hours, includes 1.00 hour of pharmacology credit

Released: September 22, 2022
