Gain cutting-edge knowledge on the latest advances in cancer care to understand the impact on the endocrine system and long-term treatment options for survivors. The Oncoendocrinology SIG looks to increase interest in a niche area of practice and encourage collaboration in clinical care and research development.
Topics we will be reviewing include:
Developing academic oncoendocrinology clinical, educational and research programs;
Managing incident endocrine conditions in children and adults with cancer;
Diagnosing and treating endocrine-related adverse events from immune, hormonal and targeted cancer therapies;
Managing the long-term endocrine aspects of childhood and adult cancer survivors;
Understanding the mechanisms through which cancer and its treatments are linked to endocrine and metabolic conditions.

Emily Gallagher, MD, PhD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Speakers:
Afreen Shariff, MD, Duke University
Tugce Akcan, MD, Stanford University
Description:
This is the first in a series of educational webinars on Oncoendocrinology topics targeted to trainees. This webinar will cover building a career in Oncoendocrinology, educational resources in Oncoendocrinology, and an interactive discussion of a case of immune checkpoint inhibitor hypophysitis.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about how to build a career in Oncoendocrinology, from trainee to thought leader
Learn about Oncoendocrinology educational resources available for trainees.
Describe a common irAE associated with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors through a case of immune Hypophysitis.
Collaborative webinar presented by Oncoendocrinology SIG and Transgender Research & Medicine SIG
Date: January 4, 2024 Time: 12:00 to 1:30 PM ET
Moderator: Ole-Petter R. Hamnvik, MB, BCh, BAO Case Presenters: Tugce Akcan, MD; and Ling Zhu, MB, BChir Expert Discussants: Ann Partridge, MD, MPH; Alexi Wright, MD, MPH; and Koen M. A. Dreijerink, MD, PhD
Description: As increasing numbers of transgender and gender diverse patients are seeking gender-affirming hormone treatment, more patients are needing to balance the risks and benefits of such treatment in the setting of known or newly diagnosed sex hormone-sensitive cancers (for example breast cancer and cancers of the reproductive tract). In this webinar, experts in oncology and gender-affirming care are discussing two clinical cases, providing their insights in the considerations that need to be made.
Learning Objectives:
Appraise current data on cancer risk with gender-affirming hormone therapy.
Summarize therapeutic approaches for gender affirmation in transgender patients who are diagnosed with sex-hormone sensitive cancers.
Contrast post-cancer diagnosis sex hormone management in cisgender people from management in transgender and gender diverse people.
