Targeted and Immunotherapies in Advanced Gastric Cancer: Key Data on Treatment Selection and AE Management

PCE On Demand Live Presentation

Most gastric cancer is diagnosed at an advanced stage. In the past 5 years, novel treatments, including combination immunotherapy and targeted therapies, have demonstrated encouraging responses that may help address poor prognosis for these patients. However, with this progress comes the need for education on optimal treatment selection, sequencing, and treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) management to optimize patient outcomes. This activity provides expert advice on contemporary treatment for advanced gastric cancer, with a focus on supporting data and adverse event recognition and management with novel regimens.

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: August 15, 2022
