Renal Cell Carcinoma CPG Mini Module - Planning Immunotherapy Regiments for Challenging Patient Populations​  

The SITC Cancer Immunotherapy Guidelines Webinars connect clinicians with leading experts in the field and provide education about the evidence- and consensus-based recommendations in the clinical practice guidelines. To complement the advanced live webinar series, three on-demand, mini modules will assist learners in applying lessons learned on specific topics within the use of immunotherapy in their own practices and locate additional resources to continue their education.   

This mini module begins with a case presentation on a patient with metastatic RCC and Crohn's Disease.  Presenter Michael B. Atkins, MD - Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center addresses the role of anti-PD1 monotherapy for patients with autoimmune conditions or high risk of ipilimumab toxicity as well as data from the HCRN GU16-260 study.  Dr. Atkins also discusses when to stop RCC therapy, using melanoma treatment as a model.  The mini module concludes with a panel discussion of factors to consider when discontinuing IO/TKI combination therapy and when re-starting immunotherapy in the event of RCC recurrence.

Run time: 12 minutes
