Second Biennial Current Paradigms in Cardiovascular Care of the Cancer Patient/Survivor 2021: What Healthcare Professionals Should Know
2021-10-02 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar/Web Conference
Program Information
Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the #1 and #2 causes of death in the United States. Both conditions involve many variables and their study is constant and diffuse. Cardio-oncology is a nascent field which focuses on preventing adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with active cancer; and improving the overall cardiovascular health of cancer survivors. This involves specific understanding of interactions between cancer and the cardiovascular system; as well as intrinsic knowledge of cancer therapeutic agents including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and newer targeted therapies which include immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and Car-T cell therapy. Furthermore, recent developments in the medical management of cardiac disease (such as SGLT-2 inhibitors and ivabradine) present new therapeutic options for affected cancer patients and survivors. With such rapid change, clinicians often find it difficult to remain up-to-date with the best means of identifying and treating patients. The purpose of this program is to familiarize primary care providers, hospitalists, oncologists, cardiologists, advanced practice providers, pharmacists and trainees with updated treatment of cardiac conditions seen in cancer patients and survivors.
Target Audience
This activity has been planned for Primary Care Providers, Hospitalists, Oncologists, Cardiologists, Advanced Practice Providers, Pharmacists, Nurses and Medical Trainees interested in learning about the field of Cardio-Oncology.
Accreditation / Designation
In support of improving patient care, Rush University Medical Center is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
Rush University Medical Center designates this live activity for a maximum of 7.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Rush University Medical Center designates this live activity for a maximum of 7.75 nursing contact hour(s).
Rush University Medical Center designates this knowledge-based live activity for a maximum of 7.75 contact hour(s) for pharmacists.
Educational Goal
To provide state-of-the art best practice information regarding the continuum of cardiac care for the oncology patient.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
1. Define the risks of cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction for patients who have undergone therapy for cancer.
2. Provide some knowledge of cardiovascular effects of newer cancer therapies; as well as the potential use of newer cardiac drugs for management of cardiovascular complications associated with cancer
therapy.
3. Implement strategies for early detection, correction of cardiac risk factors and close, as well as long-term cardiovascular monitoring in order to reduce the effects of cardiotoxicity (including arrhythmias, heart failure, severe hypertension, valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, and
autonomic dysfunction) for patients who are at risk for cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction.
4. Assess appropriate and effective treatment strategies and referral for patients who have (or are at risk for) long-term toxicity-related cardiac
dysfunction, including heart failure, valvular dysfunction, hypertension, and autonomic dysfunction.

Unapproved Uses of Drugs/Devices
In accordance with requirements of the FDA, the audience is advised that information presented in this continuing medical education activity may contain references to unlabeled or unapproved uses of drugs or devices.

National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program: Working Toward Health Equity 30th Anniversary Event
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) celebrates 30 years of success in serving people and saving lives through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). We congratulate our state, tribal, and territory programs, as well as their provider and community partners, on a job well done. Today, the NBCCEDP is the only nationwide cancer screening program in the United States—one that adheres to quality performance measures and clinically monitors those served by the program, from screening to treatment referral.
Reflecting on the past 30 years, while considering the burdens that still exist, CDC acknowledges that work is still needed to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to get the care they need to prevent and treat breast and cervical cancer. Moving forward, the NBCCEDP aims to accelerate efforts to improve cancer outcomes, reduce health disparities, and save women’s lives.
Sessions in this virtual meeting will focus on moving closer to health equity for improving breast and cervical cancer outcomes.

Addressing Social Risks in Cancer Care Delivery Virtual Workshop
2021-10-14 12:45 - 17:00, 2021-10-15 12:45 - 17:00, 2021-10-18 12:45 - 17:00 | Webinar/Web Conference
Overview
The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is conducting a virtual meeting to discuss research needs for addressing social risks in cancer care, with a focus on food insecurity, housing instability, and transportation barriers. This NCI-sponsored workshop will engage diverse stakeholders in panel presentations and participatory discussions to identify and understand research gaps, challenges, and opportunities to advance this scientific area.
Background
There has been increasing national attention on the social determinants of health and the important role they play in shaping health outcomes. Social risks are the adverse social conditions associated with poor health that may result in unmet social needs, such as food insecurity, housing instability, and transportation barriers. They can pose significant barriers to the delivery and utilization of cancer care and contribute to adverse cancer outcomes, including greater rates of treatment nonadherence, treatment delays, and decreased health-related quality of life. In 2019, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine proposed five system-level activities to strengthen the integration of services that address social risks and social needs into care delivery: Awareness, Assistance, Adjustment, Alignment, and Advocacy. Increasingly, healthcare delivery systems are implementing interventions to address patients’ social needs as part of routine clinical practice. However, there is limited evidence to guide the delivery of system-level efforts, especially in varied settings in which cancer care is provided. This workshop represents an opportunity to explore research needs and priorities for addressing social risks among cancer patients and survivors.
Meeting Goals

Describe the scope of research addressing social risks in the delivery of cancer care
Identify effective and promising approaches for addressing social risks in cancer care
Discuss challenges, gaps, and opportunities for future research in diverse cancer settings

Who should attend this workshop?
This three-day workshop will be free and open to the public. This workshop will bring together clinicians, researchers, community leaders, cancer patients, survivors, and advocates representing a broad range of experiences and expertise in this scientific area. We highly encourage you to register and participate in this workshop.

Global Genes Event - RARE Health Equity Summit
2021-11-17 08:00 - 2021-11-19 17:00 | Webinar/Web Conference
The RARE Health Equity Summit was developed in order to gain a better understanding of persistent gaps in diagnostic challenges for underserved/underrepresented patient communities and align next steps on how to address health inequities of the rare disease community.
This event connects stakeholders from the rare disease community, including our RARE Health Equity Leadership Council, to find ways to collaborate on how to address inequities in the care of patients with rare diseases, specifically focused on shortening the diagnostic odyssey, reducing racial disparities in care, and building more inclusive research programs.
