The Future Is Now in Melanoma: Exploring Strategies for Innovative Care Based on New Science

Join the experts in Chicago as they discuss the new world of melanoma management, and find out how innovative strategies may change your practice.

LIVE DINNER SYMPOSIUM
Saturday, June 4, 2011 from 6:30 - 9:00 PM CDT

This live ancillary satellite symposium held in Chicago, IL on Saturday, June 4, will feature a panel of expert faculty addressing the impact of new data and innovative therapies on the management of malignant melanoma, focusing on key strategies for integrating relevant clinical science into daily practice. To that end, the sessions will highlight areas where recent data can and should be applied to practice, including opportunities to individualize care, practical insight on administering novel agents and assessing their efficacy, and the development of novel regimens for patients with metastatic melanoma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
• Apply updated clinical practice recommendations for patients with malignant melanoma, including individuals with advanced, unresectable disease
• Integrate novel immunotherapeutic options for disease management into existing protocols for patients with metastatic melanoma
• Recognize genetic and molecular biomarkers associated with treatment implications in malignant melanoma
• Demonstrate knowledge of the effi cacy and safety of targeted agents in advanced melanoma settings
• Identify patient populations with the potential to benefi t from rationally designed combinations of immunotherapy, modern chemotherapy, and targeted agents in the setting of malignant melanoma

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical oncologists and other professionals engaged in the management of malignant melanoma.
