    Course Description

    This interactive online course is part of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) Advances in Cancer Immunotherapy™ (ACI) program. Designed for oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, emergency physicians and all members of the cancer team, the ACI program focuses on recent clinical advancements, management of immune-related adverse events, underlying mechanisms of different immunotherapy options, clinical application for various disease states, and what to look for in the future. View all available ACI online offerings at www.sitcancer.org/acionline.

     

    This course, Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Microsatellite Instability or Tumor Mutational Burden-High Cancers, provides an overview of immunotherapy treatment for cancers with these characteristics. This course will help the learner understand what microsatellite instability (MSI)  and tumor mutational burden (TMB) terms mean, what meaures can be performed to identify MSI/TMB, various FDA-approved regimens for cancers that are MSI/TMB-high, and provide current clinical trial information.    Learners will have an opportunity to interactively apply what they've learned through two in-depth case studies. At the end of this course, participants will be better able to implement immunotherapy for the treatment of cancers with high or low microsatellite instability and/or tumor mutational burden.

    The presented cases are modeled on the interactive grand rounds approach. The questions within the activity are designed to test your current knowledge. After each question, you will be able to see whether you answered correctly and read evidence-based information that supports the most appropriate answer choice. The questions are designed to challenge you; you will not be penalized for answering the questions incorrectly. At the end of the activity, there will be a short post-test assessment based on the material presented.

     

     

    This activity is intended for oncologists, pulmonologists, and pathologists.

    • Have increased knowledge regarding the
      • Clinical trial data on the use of ICIs in patients with mNSCLC whose tumor does not contain an actionable mutation
    • Have greater competence related to
      • Identifying the necessary immunotherapeutic biomarkers to help guide first-line treatment decisions in patients with mNSCLC without actionable mutations
      • Choosing the most appropriate first-line ICI regimen for a patient with mNSCLC without actionable mutations
      • Management of adverse events in patients receiving front-line therapy for mNSCLC without actionable mutations
