Medical Crossfire®: Navigating the Advent of Novel Targeted and Immunotherapeutic Approaches in Cholangiocarcinoma
Saturday, January 16, 2021
Live, Interactive Virtual Webcast!
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST
Overview
The past year brought new advances for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma, which is a rare biliary tract malignancy and an aggressive disease. While surgical and locoregional therapies for early-stage disease can yield significant survival improvements, patients with unresectable advanced cholangiocarcinoma have a poor prognosis, with 5-year overall survival rates between 5% and 10%. The use of systemic chemotherapy, biliary stenting, or locoregional treatments have had limited benefit; but novel targets based on understanding of tumor biology and pathophysiology have already shifted treatment paradigms for patients with biomarkers, such as mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), and other mutated genes.
The Medical Crossfire®, one of PER’s signature educational formats, is a live webcast program in which a panel of distinguished experts engage in spirted discussions and debates on novel approaches in cholangiocarcinoma. In this activity, 3 key thought leaders explore the latest data regarding unmet needs, advances in pathophysiology, and emerging therapeutic strategies for the management of cholangiocarcinoma across lines of care. This dynamic discussion will help place new developments into clinical context to help you optimize care for your patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
Benefits of Attending
- Learn about novel targets for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma guided by advancements in understanding pathophysiology and tumor biology
- Obtain expert recommendations for best practices in diagnosing, managing, and treating patients with cholangiocarcinoma
- Gain insights into how the experts handle challenging, real-world clinical cases in cholangiocarcinoma

Target Audience
This educational program is directed toward all attendees of the 2021 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, including a global audience of medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, hepatologists, pathologists, and gastroenterologists interested in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment and management of patients with cholangiocarcinoma are also invited to participate.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Explain the biologic rationale that has informed recent clinical development of targeted and immunotherapeutic approaches for cholangiocarcinoma
- Integrate key genomic and molecular testing strategies that allow for cholangiocarcinoma tumor characterization and inform decision-making for patients with these tumors
- Apply practice-changing evidence on novel immunotherapies and targeted therapies to clinical scenarios encountered in cholangiocarcinoma management
- Promulgate multidisciplinary approaches to identify and mitigate the impact of treatment-related toxicities in the care of patients with cholangiocarcinoma
