Description

Genomic profiling is widely recognized as a key way to identify strategies for treating hematologic (and other) cancers. However, there is a significant disconnect between scientific evidence and hematologist/oncologist knowledge, confidence, and practice. As a wealth of new information continues to emerge, it is essential that healthcare professionals have a strong foundational understanding of genomics and its practical applications. 

Target Audience

This activity is intended for hematologists, hematologists/oncologists, medical oncologists, nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who provide care for patients with blood cancers in the academic and community settings.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the activity, participants should be able to:

• Review genomic principles, terminology, technologies, and applications  
• Describe available genomic tests for diagnosis of hematologic malignancies and relevant premalignant conditions
• Interpret test results and select appropriate therapeutic agents to manage specific hematologic malignancies          
• Develop strategies to discuss key aspects of genomic testing with patients and caregivers

Two Foundations Modules

• Patient Points: Explaining the Importance and Implications of Testing
• Clinical Applications: Overview of Genomic Tests and Their Use in Guiding Clinical Decisions

One Clinical Applications Interactive Adaptive Learning Module

• Lymphoma Adaptive Learning Module

This module includes a downloadable Glossary of Terms that can be used as a resource for the various types of genomic testing.
