The outcomes of large clinical trials such as EMPA-REG have demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors are effective, but they do more than lower blood sugar and improve A1c. Similar to statins a long time ago, SGLT2 inhibitors offer many advantages for patients with potential atherosclerotic endpoints. Learn from our expert multidisciplinary panel as they explore the various approaches to treatment that can improve outcomes and quality of life in your patients with cardiorenal comorbidities.

Steroids are one of the main treatments for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but prolonged steroid use can come with many endocrine side effects, like weight gain, insulin resistance, and adrenal insufficiency. To learn more about these endocrine complications and surveillance, a recent survey was conducted, and here to share the results with Dr. Charles Turck are study authors Drs. Nadia Merchant, Melody Shi, and Despoina Galetaki.

CAR T-cell therapy has been revolutionary in the treatment of blood cancers like chronic lymphocytic leukemia and multiple myeloma, and according to recent research, this therapeutic approach may also help patients with thyroid cancer. However, there are several challenges associated with applying this technology to target solid tumors in thyroid cancer, like tumor heterogeneity and resistance. Joining Dr. Matt Birnholz to talk about these challenges and how a research team is working to overcome them is Dr. Saad J. Kenderian, Assistant Professor of Oncology, Immunology, and Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
