Statement of Need

There are multiple factors influencing treatment decisions in a changing treatment landscape, including guidelines, experience, evidence, progonosis, lifestyle, side effect concerns, and preferences. And as treatments evolve, patients and families require timely and up-to-date education about treatment and possible adverse events prior to initiation. As the amount of detailed data on maintenance immunotherapy regimens in 1L mUC can be overwhelming to some patients, it is imperative that clinicians are able to condense the data enough to make it palatable but so that it still informs patients, and to focus on management strategies.

The final episode of this CMEOCast podcast series on providing the best care for patients with mUC focuses on helping clinicians stay abreast of the evolving evidence for maintenance immunotherapy regimens, providing patients with education that will empower them to be stakeholders in their care, and considering patient perspectives and preferences as a part of shared decision-making, in order to choose the optimal evidence-based course of treatment.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:

• Evaluate the efficacy and safety data for maintenance immunotherapy regimens in 1L MUC to employ it in discussions with patients in order to choose the optimal, evidence-based course of treatment.

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Pfizer Inc. and EMD Serono, Inc.

Target Audience

Oncologists, PAs, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists
