DESCRIPTION

Novel cancer immunotherapies, specifically immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs), have recently emerged, redefining treatment paradigms in oncology. However, CPIs present significant complications, with pruritus and skin-related toxicities being among the most common adverse effects. These issues necessitate a new skill set for practitioners caring for cancer patients receiving this class of medication. This session aims to enhance dermatology practitioners' knowledge of the underlying science of cancer immunotherapies, common adverse events and skin-related toxicities, and current NCCN guidelines alongside other management strategies for CPI-induced adverse events.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.

Summarize the science of the novel cancer immunotherapies called checkpoint inhibitors and their mechanisms of actions.

2.

Discuss the current FDA-approved checkpoint inhibitor therapies and their uses in dermatology along with associated adverse events and dermatology-related toxicities.

3.

Apply the NCCN guideline recommendations for the management of checkpoint inhibitor-related skin toxicities.
