Start Activity


Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for oncologists, gastroenterologists, pathologists, and other healthcare providers caring for patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA)

The goal of this activity is for learners to better understand biomarker testing in patients with CCA, mechanisms of action (MOAs) of emerging treatment pathways, and the efficacy and safety of new agents.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

  • Have increased knowledge regarding the
    • Biomarker expression within CCA
    • MOAs of novel agents in CCA
  • Have greater competence related to
    • Testing for biomarkers within CCA
  • Demonstrate greater confidence in their ability to
    • Understand the side effects of targeted therapies used to manage CCA
