ATLANTA, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- OncoLens– an innovator in multidisciplinary cancer care, and provider of a comprehensive, integrated treatment planning platform, was engaged by ACCC to power and disseminate via the OncoLens network, the Project ECHO® eight-part webinar series. The series kicked off with a Cardiology session on September 20, 2022, that exceeded attendance goals by 58%. A Gastroenterology session followed on October 18, 2022, with over 50% of the participants from the first session returning. Health care providers can register, at no charge, for the five remaining sessions— Rheumatology, Neurology, Hepatology, Dermatology, and Pulmonology.
Each session is designed to cover a different topic with Key Opinion Leaders discussing irAE monitoring and management strategies for approved cancer immunotherapies as well as for immunotherapies that have newly expanded indications for cancer treatment. During the session, health care participants, from multiple disciplines, are welcome to submit unidentified clinical cases and will receive guidance from expert faculty. At the end of each session, participants will be able to:
- Apply evidence-based practices for the monitoring and management of irAE in patients receiving cancer immunotherapies
- Improve coordination and communication with non-oncology specialists and with patients/caregivers to manage irAE in patients receiving cancer immunotherapies
- Review strategies for providing equitable care for underserved patients receiving cancer immunotherapies
"We are proud to support the Project ECHO® webinar series designed by ACCC and BU_CME," said Anju Mathew, Chief Executive Officer of OncoLens. "This is another example of how partnerships across global nonprofits, leading medical education institutions, and innovators in multidisciplinary cancer treatment address health and community issues by providing care strategy education."
