| STATEMENT OF NEED / PROGRAM OVERVIEW | ||||||||||||
|
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) encompasses a heterogeneous group of cancers derived from renal tubular epithelial cells and is the most common form of kidney cancer observed in the United States. About 70% of patients have clear cell RCC and approximately one-third of these present with advanced (or metastatic) disease. The natural history of disease for patients with advanced RCC can vary widely from a few months to many years depending on the clinical, pathologic, laboratory, and radiographic features of disease, as well as the response to therapy. The five-year overall survival rate is approximately 12%. Health-system pharmacists (HSPs) often serve as patient care providers in acute and ambulatory care settings and frequently act as the intermediary between physicians and patients; a position that provides unique insights into treatment-specific needs of patients with advanced RCC. This activity will 1) educate HSPs the rationale for consideration of IO combination therapies in the treatment of RCC, 2) increase knowledge of when immunotherapy should be considered as a treatment option for patients with RCC, and 3) apply strategies for early detection and management of treatment-related adverse events in RCC patients. | ||||||||||||
