P. Barton Duell, MD - Straight From the Experts: Clinical Conversations on Modernizing Hyperlipidemia Management With PCSK9-Targeting Agents
05/07/2023 Duration: 51minGo online to PeerView.com/EHE860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are causally related to the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)—justifying the guidance from multiple professional societies that emphasize the importance of lowering LDL-C to reduce cardiovascular risk. Despite the availability of nearly ten different classes of medications indicated to lower cholesterol levels, dyslipidemia is not appropriately managed for many patients, resulting in target LDL-C goals not being achieved. In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, experts discuss targeted therapies to optimize lipid management, including primary and secondary prevention of CV events, with PCSK9-targeting therapies (in particular, PCSK9 antibodies and novel small interfering RNAs). Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply current hyperlipidemia treatment

Jonathan D. Spicer, MD, PhD, FRCSC - Neoadjuvant, Adjuvant, or Both: How to Solve the Puzzle of Perioperative Immunotherapy, Individualize Treatment Plans, and Improve Cure Rates in Resectable NSCLC
01/06/2023 Duration: 48minGo online to PeerView.com/SQN860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. The immune checkpoint inhibitors have started to radically transform the perioperative treatment of resectable stage I-III NSCLC, with the goals of reducing the risk of recurrence and improving cure rates in these settings. Several important phase 3 clinical trials evaluating neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant immunotherapies have already yielded impressive data, leading to regulatory approvals and new standards of care, and additional studies have recently been reported to be positive, adding to the evidence base but also increasing complexity. What do these advances mean for thoracic surgeons, medical oncologists, and other multidisciplinary specialists, and what changes in practice are needed? What challenges and unanswered questions remain? This PeerView educational activity, based on a recent live symposium, brings together top experts to evaluate the new practice-changing resear

Natasha B. Leighl, MD, MMSc, FRCPC, FASCO - Refining Precision Decisions in NSCLC With Common and Less Common EGFR Mutations: Navigating Testing and Treatment Throughout the Disease Continuum
26/04/2023 Duration: 45minGo online to PeerView.com/DCG860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. The time has come for even more precision in testing and targeted treatment of NSCLC. EGFR-mutated lung cancer is a perfect example of this need. The term "EGFR-positive lung cancer” is no longer adequate or specific enough to characterize this complex molecular subtype of lung cancer. Increased granularity is needed for both biomarker testing and targeted treatment selection for patients with different types of EGFR mutations. New agents and combinations have become available for patients with common (eg, exon 19 deletion, exon 21 L858R) and uncommon (eg, exon 20 insertions) EGFR mutations, and more are on the horizon. Novel strategies for overcoming resistance to EGFR-targeted therapies are showing great promise as well. This PeerView Live educational activity, based on a recent live symposium, explores the latest advances and future directions in biomarker-driven, individuali

Neal K. Lakdawala, MD, Anjali Tiku Owens, MD - Loosening the Grip of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Updated Strategies for Timely Diagnosis and Disease-Modifying Treatment
06/04/2023 Duration: 56minGo online to PeerView.com/GYW860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease and has a mortality rate estimated to be about three times greater than that experienced by individuals of similar age without HCM. The FDA has recently approved a noninvasive, first-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor specifically indicated for the treatment of HCM—meaning timely diagnosis of patients with HCM may reduce or delay the need for invasive treatment. In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, expert panelists present practical skills and guidance to accurately diagnose HCM and apply recent treatment advances to patients with various clinical presentations of HCM. They begin by sharing the rationale for maintaining a high index of suspicion for HCM and review diagnostic strategies. The Clinical Consults portion of this activity features case examples to demonstrate current practices

Tricia Cottrell, MD, PhD, Lynette M. Sholl, MD - Gaining Confidence in Predicting and Assessing Response to Cancer Immunotherapies: Practical Strategies for Biomarker Testing and Pathologic Response Assessment
06/04/2023 Duration: 56minGo online to PeerView.com/GNU860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. With the continued expansion of the cancer immunotherapy arsenal, reliable biomarkers to identify patients most likely to benefit from specific agents or combinations have become crucial. Predictive biomarkers such as measurement of PD-L1 expression and assessment of MSI/MMR or TMB status have an established role in some tumor types and settings, but a number of challenges related to testing and interpretation of results persist, and significant improvements are needed. There is also a need for ways to assess response to immunotherapies as they transition to early-stage, curative-intent settings as part of perioperative multimodal management of solid malignancies. Recently, pathologic response assessment has emerged as a potential new gold standard for measurement of impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy. However, there has been limited guidance on how to define pathologic respons

28/03/2023 Duration: 52minGo online to PeerView.com/FSN860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. After many years of slow progress, the treatment arsenal has finally expanded and more hope is on the horizon for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Notable advances such as chemo-immunotherapy in the first-line setting and lurbinectedin in the second-line setting have now become guideline-recommended standards of care and propelled the treatment of SCLC forward. Further research efforts are focused on understanding the underlying biology and potential subtypes of SCLC, what biomarkers may be useful in refining treatment selection, and evaluation of novel therapeutic options and rational combinations. In this PeerView Live Candid Conversations & Clinical Consults symposium, based on a recent live symposium, leading experts weave together the latest evidence on standard-of-care therapies and the evolving data on new/emerging approaches to provide a big-picture overv
