Citing the findings from one recent research article that supports a treatment strategy for the shoulder region. 9) Given a case scenario the participant will DEVELOP three (3) structural and functional goals for patient care.”

Needs Assessment: This course was developed in cooperation with the academic faculty and scientists belonging to the California Cancer Consortium to provide an annual in-depth exposure and reviewof newadvancesin cancer drug development, biology, biomarkers, diagnosis, and therapy. The agenda and format was specifically designed to address knowledge gaps identified from prior course participant evaluations and unsolicited comments from practicing oncologists (from private practice, academia) as well as scientists involved in cancer clinical trials. This area of knowledge will be best addressed by an in-depth conference on systemic therapy of malignancies (both solid and hematologic), with ample time provided for interaction by attendees with expert faculty. It is expected that this course will enhance the clinical competence of clinicians and the healthcare team in managing the care of the cancer patient, and subsequently, improve patient outcomes. Course Description: This conference aims to provide up-to-date information to the clinician regarding new advances in cancer biology, diagnosis, and treatment. It will bring together the interprofessional team that include, respected opinion leaders, practicing clinicians and scientists engaged in clinical cancer research to discuss the latest cancer diagnostic and therapeutic advances. Topics focus on the major cancers and drug development areas, including signal transduction/CDK inhibition, angiogenesis inhibition, PI3K/mTOR inhibition, antibody-drug conjugates, and immunotherapy, among others. This annual conference also includes interactive roundtable discussion forums with participation of cancer care experts from the California Cancer Consortium, and features renowned professionals from academia, patient advocacy, government, payer, industry, and business realms of cancer care. Educational Objectives: After participating in this educational activity, you should be able to: • Identify signaling and immunotherapeutic pathwaysthat are involved in the growth and metastases of various tumortypes • Recognizespecificopportunitiesfortherapeutic intervention using an interprofessional team based approach • Describe recent advances in the molecular phenotyping of cancer and relate these to the optimalmanagement of patients with cancer • Based on recent clinicaltrials, assessthe efficacy of noveltherapeutic strategiesin the treatment of patients with cancer • Discuss newand emerging clinicaltrial designs that can test and validate new therapeutic strategies for cancer patients.
