Cases and Conversations™ in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma: Leveraging Landmark Evidence and Shared Decision-making to Chart Personalized Care Trajectories
Release Date: July 13, 2021
Expiration Date: July 13, 2022
Activity Overview
This online, on-demand virtual symposium brings together renowned experts in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment and clinical research. This symposium provides oncologists with expert perspectives on the pathobiology of RCC subtypes, the efficacy of novel and emerging treatment options for patients with RCC throughout the disease spectrum including immunotherapies and targeted agents, and the identification and management of treatment-related adverse events. Case studies will bring together the elements of clinical trial data and decision-making in clinical practice and provide oncologists with insight into how the experts approach treatment decisions for patients with RCC. An interview with the CEO from the Kidney Cancer Association (KCA) will review methods for patient advocacy as well as the resources available from the KCA.
This educational activity is an archive of a live virtual symposium held on Thursday, June 17, 2021.

Upon successful completion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:
- Review the pathobiology of RCC and how this provides the rationale for targeted therapies and immunotherapies, as single agents and in combination regimens.
- Discuss emerging evidence from clinical trials investigating treatment options for patients with advanced RCC and how these data impact treatment decision-making across lines of therapy for individual patients.
- Implement strategies for preventing and/or managing treatment-related adverse events associated with systemic regimens used to treat advanced RCC.
- Individualize systemic treatment selection for patients with advanced/metastatic RCC, taking into consideration biomarkers, disease characteristics, comorbidities, and patient preferences, and quality of life in addition to efficacy and safety data.
