Kurt A. Schalper, MD, PhD - Progress and Practicalities in Immunotherapy Biomarker Testing and Pathologic Response Assessment in Solid Tumors: What’s New and What You Need to Know and Do
25/05/2022 Duración: 01h26minGo online to PeerView.com/KCV860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Cancer immunotherapy in the form of anti–PD-1, anti–PD-L1, and anti–CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies is swiftly expanding from metastatic to early-stage, curative-intent settings in an increasing number of solid tumors. Furthermore, it’s on the cusp of further explosive growth as other novel agents, including inhibitors of new checkpoints such as LAG-3 and TIGIT, are starting to emerge. Pathologists and oncologists play a crucial role in identifying patients who would benefit the most from the broadening arsenal of immunotherapies and assessing response to these therapies. While there are substantial gaps in biomarker testing, pathologic response assessment, and the use of immunotherapies in current practice, things will only become more complicated. This PeerView Live educational activity, based on a recent symposium, will help you refine your current best practices and prepare you

Sarina Elmariah, MD, PhD, MPH - Addressing the Burden of Prurigo Nodularis: Expert Insight on Disease Pathogenesis and the Clinical Potential of Novel Therapeutic Options
25/05/2022 Duración: 42minGo online to PeerView.com/DTN860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intensely pruritic, hyperkeratotic nodules symmetrically distributed on the trunk and extremities. PN is defined by intense pruritus lasting ≥6 weeks, history of repeated scratching, and subsequent development of pruritic, elevated, firm, and nodular skin lesions, in a vicious itch–scratch cycle. The intense itch associated with PN leads to sleep disturbances and reduced social participation and work productivity, resulting in a drastically reduced quality of life and psychosocial disturbances. Unfortunately, these issues experienced among patients with PN are further compounded by the lack of effective treatment options. In this activity, based on a recent live educational symposium, a panel of experts addresses real-world questions and dilemmas faced by providers and the PN patients for whom they ca

Erika Hamilton, MD - How to Harness Adjuvant CDK4 and 6 Inhibition to Prevent Recurrences in High-Risk HR+/HER2- Early Breast Cancer: New Goals and Better Tools to Close the Gaps
23/05/2022 Duración: 59minGo online to PeerView.com/WFC860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. In the last two decades, there have been very limited advancements in the treatment of HR+, HER2- early breast cancer, and a particularly marked unmet need has existed for patients at the highest risk of recurrence. Fortunately, there is new hope of improved outcomes for these patients following the recent FDA approval of the first CDK4 and 6 inhibitor for the adjuvant treatment of patients with HR+, HER2-, node+ early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence and a Ki-67 score ≥20%. Shortly thereafter, guideline updates were released that recommended adjuvant CDK4 and 6 inhibitor therapy combined with endocrine therapy to a broader population of patients at high risk of recurrence. The emergence of this new therapeutic option along with varied indications and recommendations has resulted in much uncertainty about which patients should and should not receive adjuvant CDK4 and 6 i

Joseph Diaz, MD- Advances in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: Expert Insight on Translating Progress to Practice for Improved Symptom Control and Quality of Life
23/05/2022 Duración: 52minGo online to PeerView.com/HWY860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is defined by the presence of recurrent urticaria, angioedema, or both, for a period of 6 weeks or longer. There are several theories regarding the pathogenesis of CSU, none of which have been conclusively established. CSU is a self-limited disorder in most patients, with an average duration of disease of 2 to 5 years; although active CSU significantly impairs quality of life. Second-generation H1 antihistamines (sgAHs) in standard dose are effective in less than 50% of CSU patients. Increasing the dose of sgAHs improves treatment responses; however, every third to fourth patient will still remain symptomatic. Omalizumab, an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, may also be used for effective treatment, as well as cyclosporine. The current guideline-recommended treatment algorithm, though useful, is not perfect. The treatment of patients with CSU shou

Mark A. Socinski, MD - Expanding Options, Lingering Questions: How to Select the Right Immunotherapy for First-Line Treatment of Advanced NSCLC
23/05/2022 Duración: 01h10minGo online to PeerView.com/JBW860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) comprise a critical component of the treatment arsenal for advanced/metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with numerous single-agent and combination options approved for use in the first-line setting. Despite the availability of a broad array of immunotherapy options, not all patients benefit from or have access to these agents, especially those in underserved populations and communities. Innovative solutions are needed to help address some of the challenges and improve access to level the playing field for more patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC. In this educational activity based on a recent web broadcast, experts provide useful clinical updates and multifaceted practical guidance for navigating the multitude of immunotherapy options for newly diagnosed patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC.

19/05/2022 Duración: 01h12minGo online to PeerView.com/VHX860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition is now the standard of care for metastatic breast cancer harboring a germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, and studies continue to investigate PARP inhibitors as monotherapies or in rational combinations. Most recently, exciting results have revealed a potential role for PARP inhibitor therapy in earlier disease settings where there is a possibility for cure, heralding a new era of targeted therapy for patients with breast cancer. In order to maximize the benefits of these advances, it is crucial for the multidisciplinary breast cancer care team to keep current with the latest data and expert recommendations to effectively integrate PARP inhibitor therapy into clinical practice, as well as genetic counseling and biomarker testing to refine individualized therapy selection.

Elizabeth Eaman, MD - Cancer Screening and Preventive Care for Transgender Individuals: Patient and Provider Perspectives on Best Practices and Special Considerations
16/05/2022 Duración: 01h06minGo online to PeerView.com/YDT860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. It is estimated that there are about 1 million adults in the United States who identify as transgender, and this number may be higher depending on the surveys used, the questions asked, and the diversity of subcultures within the transgender community. Although being transgender is not in itself a medical condition, transgender individuals have unique healthcare needs and face barriers to screening and preventive care, particularly with cancer screening. Consequently, these patients may receive lower quality medical care than the general population as a result of stigma, discrimination, and providers’ lack of knowledge about gender identity. Additionally, transgender patients may only seek medical care as part of gender affirmation and avoid primary care health concerns, including screenings. This activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, will focus on improving cancer pre
