The Promise of Emerging Therapies for Patients with Desmoid Tumors

This activity is jointly provided by Global Education Group and PlatformQ Health Education, LLC, in collaboration with the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) and the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation (DTRF)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This activity is supported by an independent educational grant from SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc.

DATE OF RELEASE/EXPIRATION

This activity was released on December 12, 2023 and is valid for 12 months. Requests for credit must be made no later than December 12, 2024.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of sarcoma specialists, medical oncologists, and other members of the care team for desmoid tumors.

STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Desmoid tumors are challenging to manage due to the difficulty obtaining an accurate diagnosis and the scarcity of treatment options. Despite the benefits seen with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, there are no FDA-approved therapies yet for treatment of desmoid tumors. However, emerging therapies are showing clinical benefit and have the potential to improve the treatment armamentarium.

Join a panel of experts to discuss the best strategies to improve timely diagnoses of patients with desmoid tumors. Experts will review the recent shift away from extensive surgery to active surveillance and explore emerging treatments that have demonstrated promising results for patients with progressive disease. Panelists will also discuss the need for multidisciplinary review to determine if treatment is warranted and examine which patients are eligible for treatment with emerging options

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
  • Apply relevant strategies to address timely diagnosis in patients with desmoid tumors
  • Discuss patient selection for treatment based on safety and efficacy data
