Faculty
This educational activity is designed for European gastroenterologists, surgical, radiation, and medical oncologists, and other healthcare providers involved in the management of patients with PCA.
After successful completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Identify risk factors for PCA and discuss reasons for poor outcomes and treatment resistance, including genetic diversity and role of PCA stroma
- Recognize imaging criteria for resectability of PCA
- Establish and implement multimodality treatment strategies for resectable, borderline resectable, and unresectable/locally advanced PCA, and discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach
- Select the most appropriate therapy for individual patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the first-line setting and beyond progression
- Assess supportive care measures to ameliorate disease symptoms and treatment-related adverse events throughout the course of PCA management
- Describe the potential role of genomic profiling and evaluate novel treatment approaches in PCA including targeted therapy for DNA repair defects, stromal targeting agents, agents targeting abnormal metabolism in PCA cells, and immunotherapeutic strategies
This educational activity is supported by grants from Celgene, ERYTECH, RAFAEL Pharmaceuticals, and Shire.
Continuing Education
Expert Practice in Pancreatic Cancer: Maximizing Patient Care With Innovation and Collaboration held in Vienna, Austria on 28–29 September 2018 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 7 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.
Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EACCME credit to AMA credit can be found at www.ama-assn.org/go/internationalcme.
Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognized by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
