A Focus on Current and Emerging Treatment Options in the Frontline Setting for Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma

Activity Description

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a diverse collection of non-Hodgkin lymphomas that make treatment and patient-centered care challenging and highlight the need for targeted therapies based on molecular and genetic profiling to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The role of CD30 expression further complicates patient care, because its variable expression among PTCL subtypes prevents establishing a uniform treatment approach. Though randomized clinical trial data is limited, these data can help refine treatment protocols and reduce the risk of relapse by identifying patients who may benefit from maintenance therapies or alternative treatment approaches.

In this CEC Oncology Grand Rounds series, expert faculty will evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line PTCL treatments; explore the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic applications of CD30 expression in PTCL subtypes; and discuss strategies to expand collaborative learning and communication that can enhance clinician understanding and proficiency in making informed therapeutic decisions as a treatment team.

Target Audience

Academic and community-based hematologist/oncologists, oncology nurses, oncology nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician associates (PAs)

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

• Evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of first-line peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) treatments
• Identify the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic applications of CD30 expression in PTCL subtypes
• Implement multidisciplinary strategies to enhance patient outcomes and therapeutic decision-making in PTCL
