WEBINAR: Metronomic Chemotherapy: Hope vs. Hype
| Overview / Abstract: |
Metronomic chemotherapy has become quite popular with oncologists and general practitioners. There are some basic scientific data addressing its mechanism of action, however, the vast amount of data is purely retrospective in nature. These studies vary in drug dosage and protocols used making assessment between studies challenging. On top of this, there are no good surrogate markers for efficacy to help guide clinicians. Last, the use of metronomic therapy has opened our eyes to the challenges of compounding drugs with multiple publications demonstrating that not all compounders are created equal. This lecture will discuss the need for compounding with metronomic therapy due to the ultra-low dosing and the challenges of using compounded drugs without researching the source. The American College of Apothecaries (ACA) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. ACA has accredited this program for 1.0 contact hour (0.1 CEUs) of continuing education credit for pharmacists and technicians |
