PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This live virtual TeleECHO educational series focuses on neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), a complex and heterogeneous genetic disorder with associated morbidities that significantly impair health-related quality of life. Engage with key experts in the field to improve knowledge regarding the pathophysiology of NF1 plexiform neurofibromas (NF1-PN) that have guided the investigation of targeted therapies which are revolutionizing the therapeutic landscape for both children and adults with symptomatic inoperable NF1-PN. Delve into in-depth discussions on case studies that bring real-world practical advice and involvement of comprehensive multidisciplinary care teams into the optimal care for patients to improve both their quality of life and disease outcomes.

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of academic and community medical oncologists, neuro-oncologists, neurologists, surgical oncologists, neurosurgeons, advanced practice providers, and other healthcare providers who care for patients with NF1-PN.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon the completion of this program, attendees should be able to:
- Summarize key signs and symptoms of NF1-PN in adults
- Interpret clinical trial data on available and emerging therapeutic options for the treatment of NF1-PN
- Incorporate clinical practice recommendations for the use of systemic therapies for NF1-PN and mitigation of potential adverse events
