  • Overview

    Advances in immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy are transforming the way clinicians treat and manage metastatic UC and RCC. Given the approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of metastatic UC and RCC in recent years, and more emerging evidence, it can be challenging to understand how to best incorporate these therapies into current treatment strategies.

    This activity will review the latest clinical advances, emerging data, and guideline recommendations for immunotherapy for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma.

  • Learning Objectives

    At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

    1. Assess evidence supporting the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma
    2. Analyze the role of first-line maintenance treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors in metastatic urothelial carcinoma
    3. Compare survival data for sequential immunotherapy and standard of care chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma
    4. Develop evidence-based treatment sequencing strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors for the first-line and subsequent treatment of advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma

  • Target Audience

    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, urologists, surgeons, pharmacists, physician assistants, oncology nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of genitourinary cancers.
