      Target Audience and Goal Statement

      This activity is intended for oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, and other clinicians on the multidisciplinary cancer care team.

      The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to understand the role of immunotherapy for the management of early-stage solid tumors and how best to care for patients with these cancer types in clinical practice.

      Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

      • Have increased knowledge regarding the
        • Clinical trial data evaluating immunotherapy in early-stage solid tumors
      • Self-assess learning needs related to
        • The care of patients with early-stage solid tumors as part of the multidisciplinary team
