Last year, Dr. Ticiana Leal, Director of the Thoracic Medical Oncology Program at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, recorded a continuing medical education (CME)/nursing continuing professional development (NCPD)–accredited activity titled Harnessing Immunotherapy-Based Strategies for Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). With numerous developments in the field occurring since recording the activity, including new FDA approvals and clinical trial results, Dr. Leal sat down wit...
i3 Health has provided a continuing medical education/nursing continuing professional development (CME/NCPD)–approved activity, Update on Immunotherapeutic Strategies for Advanced Merkel Cell Carcinoma, that enabled the health care team to acquire significant gains in proficiency and knowledge for treating their patients with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of unknown origin that typically presents in older white and immunocompromi...
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening oncologic emergency typically associated with chemotherapy-induced tumor cell death in which potassium, phosphate, and nucleic acids are released into the bloodstream. The most effective management strategy is prevention; however, despite appropriate prophylactic measures, approximately 3% to 5% of high-risk patients receiving chemotherapy are affected.
In this interview, Amy Goodrich, MSN, RN, CRNP, a Nurse Practitioner and Research Nursing Manager at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, discusses a recent educational activity she co-led, Best Practices in the Management of Tumor Lysis Syndrome Associated With Emerging Cancer Therapies.
