  • Life’s Essential 8: Healthy Sleep With Narcolepsy
    Host: Lee Surkin, MD, FACC, FCCP, FASNC, FAASM

    This program aims to provide healthcare professionals (HCPs) with a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum in caring for individuals with Narcolepsy. This curriculum addresses unmet clinical needs, including improving the accuracy and timing of diagnosing Narcolepsy, understanding how Narcolepsy increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, and addressing how treating Narcolepsy can improve sleep, which is an important aspect of overall health. The main goal is to educate clinicians about the latest developments in this field in order to positively impact clinical practice and significantly improve the quality of life for individuals affected by Narcolepsy.

    This program covers best practices in:

    • Recognizing the symptoms of Narcolepsy, including the common ones and those that are less well-known
    • Exploring the relationship between cardiovascular disease and Narcolepsy
    • Addressing diagnosis and treatment of Narcolepsy in relation to the AHA Life Essential 8, which focuses on key aspects of a healthy lifestyle

  • Chairperson’s Perspective: CDK 4/6 Inhibitors: Practice-Changing Implications of Targeted Therapies in HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
    Guest: Joyce O'Shaughnessy, MD

    By 2040, the global breast cancer burden is expected to increase by 40%, resulting in more than 3 million new cases and 1 million deaths per year. Approximately 65% of cases among women less than 50 years of age and 75% of cases among women over 50 years of age are classified as HR+/HER2-. Although endocrine therapy is employed as standard-of-care treatment for many patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer, not all such patients respond to endocrine therapy, and many who do initially respond will relapse. CDK 4/6 inhibitors can help overcome mechanisms of endocrine resistance, decrease tumor cell growth, and act synergistically with anti-estrogens. Clinicians are faced with constant change in the breast cancer treatment landscape. Disease heterogeneity, drug resistance, and incorporation of genetic testing into the treatment formula for HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients are all things they must contend with. Understanding practice guideline recommendations and the evidence behind them will allow clinicians to better integrate CDK 4/6 inhibitors into their clinical practice.

    This Chairman’s Perspective activity features a highlight summary from a nationally recognized expert with relevant and timely information on HR+/HER2- BC, including the latest trial results and accumulating real-world evidence that demonstrates the efficacy and overall safety …

  • Advances in Minimally Invasive Screening for Lung Cancer
    Guest: Julie A. Barta, MD, ATSF
    Host: Peter J. Mazzone, MD, MPH, FCCP

    Lung cancer is most treatable when detected at early stages, yet fewer than 5% of eligible adults are screened using the recommended low-dose CT scan. Blood-based tests for early detection of lung cancer are in development. Join Dr. Peter Mazzone and Dr. Julie Barta as they discuss the latest data on these tests with potential to improve screening rates and outcomes in high-risk individuals.
