  • Overview

    Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a rare heterogeneous disease characterized by clonal expansion and accumulation of neoplastic mast cells in one or more organs (most commonly bone marrow with or without skin involvement). Most patients with SM have non-advanced disease (indolent and smoldering subtypes) for which there are currently no FDA-approved therapies that address the underlying pathogenesis of the disease. Given its rarity, many clinicians are not aware of the unique clinical features, disease burden, or the recent updates to the World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic and subtyping criteria for SM, resulting in long delays in diagnosis and suboptimal care in clinical practice. Taken together, these practice gaps highlight a need for evidence-based, up-to-date continuing education activities for clinicians on optimal diagnosis and management of non-advanced SM.

  • Target Audience

    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the interprofessional team, including hematologists/oncologists, pathologists, nurses, pharmacists, immunologists, allergists, dermatologists, as well as other clinicians involved in the management of patients with non-advanced systemic mastocytosis.

  • Learning Objectives

    After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

    • Discuss the clinical features, disease burden, and recommended workup for the diagnosis and subtyping of systemic mastocytosis
    • Evaluate current and emerging approaches for the management of non-advanced systemic mastocytosis
  • Accreditation Statement

    In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) and TotalCME, Inc. GLC is jointly accredited by the American Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.


    This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive 1.25 Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credits for learning and change.
