All Hands on Deck: A Focus on Current and Emerging Treatment Options in the Frontline Setting for Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma 41:21

32 weeks ago41:21

41:21

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a diverse collection of non-Hodgkin lymphomas that make treatment and patient-centered care challenging, and highlight the need for targeted therapies based on molecular and genetic profiling to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The role of CD30 expression further complicates patient care, because its variable expression among PTCL subtypes prevents establishing a uniform treatment approach. Though randomized clinical trial data is limited, these data can help refine treatment protocols and reduce the risk of relapse by identifying patients who may benefit from maintenance therapies or alternative treatment approaches. In this CEC Oncology recorded Grand Rounds, expert faculty will evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line PTCL treatments; explore the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic applications of CD30 expression in PTCL subtypes; and discuss strategies to expand collaborative learning and communication that can enhance clinician understanding and proficiency in making informed therapeutic decisions as a treatment team.

1:06:48

Patient prognosis for endometrial cancer (EC) is highly benefited by molecular profiling, and national and international guidelines robustly recommend its integration into practice. Characterization of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status identifies clinically significant molecular subtypes. This information assists clinicians in creating treatment plans tailored to specific tumor phenotypes and individual needs, including those patients with advanced and recurrent EC. Despite ringing endorsements and clear clinical applications, however, molecular profiling remains underutilized due to logistical challenges and a lack of clinician confidence. It is imperative that clinicians, in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team (MDT), become knowledgeable about this exciting technique and utilize it to enhance treatment decisions for patients. In this CE Concepts enduring webcast, expert faculty will guide learners through integration of appropriate, guideline-directed molecular profiling strategies in the EC risk assessment and treatment decision process. Faculty will also assess the latest efficacy and safety data for the treatment of EC with learners and develop guideline-concordant and patient-specific therapeutic plans for patients with newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent EC that incorporate MDT collaboration strategies.

1:02:15

All clinicians managing patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease or heart failure must be aware of the deleterious impacts of concomitant anemia and the established, emerging, and practice-changing role of intravenous (IV) iron therapies. The vicious cycle of cardiorenal anemia syndrome (CRAS)—the pathologic triad wherein the three conditions are each capable of causing and/or being caused by the other—can be effectively mitigated and managed with IV iron. Unfortunately, clinician hesitancy in prescribing IV iron, largely due to adverse effects associated with earlier formulations, must be overcome before the full benefit of IV iron in CRAS can be realized. Join Drs. Matthew Weir and Javed Butler as they address CRAS pathophysiology, examine applicable expert consensus guidelines, and review current evidence for treatment. Practical, case-based elements will be offered that provide learners with real-world examples of IV iron safety, efficacy, and the need for multidisciplinary (nephrologist-cardiologist-PCP) care.

Credit is no longer available, however, you can still access and learn from this podcast! This Medical Moments webinar will review all clinically relevant aspects of cancer-related anemia (CRA) management, including chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA). The activity will begin with a brief primer on iron metabolism and absorption principles, including the practical distinctions between absolute and functional iron deficiency, and the impact of that distinction on treatment approaches. An appraisal of the foundational pathophysiology of CRA will follow, with a central emphasis on the role of hepcidin in a hyperinflammatory disease state like cancer, and the resultant rationale for the preferential use of intravenous (IV) iron versus oral iron modalities in patients with cancer. Finally, the preeminent emphasis of the session will be an incisive exploration of completed, ongoing, and planned clinical trials of IV iron for CRA/CIA, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, as well as recently-reported pivotal trials, such as IRON-CLAD.
