WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Provider and Caregiver Connection: Addressing Patient Concerns While Managing Glioblastoma is organized by Physicians Education Resource, LLC (PER) and will be held during Sep 29, 2017 - Sep 29, 2018.
The target audience for this medical event is directed toward radiation, surgical, medical and neuro-oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, and physician assistants involved in the treatment and management of patients with GBM. Pharmacists, researchers, fellows, and other healthcare professionals interested in the treatment of GBM may also participate. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Overview :
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains one of the most challenging problems to address in all of oncology. Survival outcomes are modest at best, and there have been numerous obstacles to the development of effective strategies to manage GBM. This educational activity has the dual objectives of updating healthcare providers on the latest advances influencing patient care, as well as bringing greater attention to the patient perspective along the continuum of care (eg, screening, diagnosis, information gathering, initiation of treatment, disease progression, eligibility and enrollment in clinical trials, palliation). This will be accomplished through a combination of didactic presentation (featuring audio clips of experts providing their perspectives on the state of the art in GBM management) and a patient panel discussion.
Conference Objectives :
At the conclusion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:
• Discuss current and emerging evidence concerning strategies and technologies for the treatment and management of patients with GBM
• Explain the mechanism of action of therapies and technologies that have been applied to the management of GBM
• Apply practical aspects related to integrating Tumor Treating Field therapy and other novel approaches into evolving treatment paradigms for patients with GBM
• Incorporate skills that promote effective communication and coordination of care between the provider and the patient/caregiver in the management of GBM
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
