  • HER2 Testing: The Evolving Role of Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
    Guest: Fernando López-Ríos, MD, PhD
    Guest: Christian Rolfo, MD, PhD
    Guest: Charlie Gourley, MD, PhD

    In this on-demand replay of a recent interactive webinar, renowned experts Prof. Fernando López-Ríos, Prof. Christian Rolfo, and Prof. Charlie Gourley review the latest data, guidelines, and patient cases as they explore best practices for HER2 testing and the evolving role of IHC in lung and ovarian cancers.

    Topics of conversation include the following:

    • An overview of challenges related to HER2 immunohistochemistry, guidance, and interpretation of the results
    • Targeting HER2 in lung cancer: where does IHC testing fit in?
    • Ovarian cancer: challenges and considerations for HER2 IHC testing

    Watch the on-demand video to gain expert insights on optimising IHC HER2 testing and interpreting results in lung and ovarian cancer.

  • Differential Diagnosis of Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis
    Host: Nathan A. Boggs, MD
    Host: Tracy George, MD
    Host: Lindsay Rein, MD

    The identification of KIT D816V mutation as a key driver for the expansion and accumulation of neoplastic mast cells in systemic mastocytosis (SM) has significantly improved the diagnosis, subclassification, and management of SM. Moreover, the advent of novel targeted therapies has dramatically changed the treatment landscape. However, challenges persist for community clinicians due to the low prevalence of SM and its vague and wide spectrum of clinical features. Expanded knowledge of the recommended pathology and laboratory evaluation for the diagnosis and subclassification of the disease is needed to shorten delays in diagnosis and delivery of optimal care. Tune in and find out more about the management of SM and the latest clinical evidence and guideline recommendations for the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and learn about the role played by pathologists in the identification and diagnosis of SM, which ultimately guides treatment selection.

  • Guideline-recommended treatment options for patients with CLL/SLL and MCL that have progressed following a covalent BTK inhibitor
    Host: Seema A. Bhat, MD
    Host: Jeremy S. Abramson, MD, MMSc

    This enduring activity, presented in collaboration with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN®), focuses on translating oncology clinical practice guidelines into practical strategies for treating CLL/SLL and MCL. Participants will learn how to integrate clinical trial data into guideline-concordant treatment plans for patients that have progressed following a covalent BTK inhibitor. The program highlights the importance of evidence-based approaches and the use of noncovalent BTK inhibitors for relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL and MCL. Attendees will also explore emerging data that could influence future treatment guidelines, and a case example of a patient with CLL/SLL relapsing after 2 prior lines of therapy, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL-2 inhibitor.
