The recent transformation of the bladder cancer therapeutic landscape includes the PD-1/PD-L1–targeting immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced/metastatic bladder cancer, erdafitinib for FGFR mutation–positive bladder tumors, and the antibody–drug conjugates enfortumab vedotin and sacituzumab govitecan in the post–immune checkpoint inhibitor setting. Utilizing these agents in localized disease settings has led to the emergence of novel bladder-sparing and perioperative approaches, including the first regulatory approval of adjuvant immunotherapy in high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer. In light of these developments, the challenge for urology professionals is how to best blend the diverse clinical evidence for these agents with the realities of real-world cancer care. This PeerView activity, developed in collaboration with the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, will guide le

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are swiftly transitioning from the metastatic to the early-stage setting and transforming the multimodal management of resectable stage I-III NSCLC. Remarkable data have emerged from several immunotherapy trials in perioperative settings and FDA has granted new regulatory approvals for both neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapy regimens, effectively establishing new standards of care in early-stage NSCLC. Still, many questions remain on how to transition these exciting advances to practice and improved patient outcomes in real-world setting. What are the pros/cons of neoadjuvant versus adjuvant immunotherapy, and how should the best approach be determined for each patient? What is the optimal timing and duration of therapy, and how should responses be assessed? What adverse events should be anticipated, and are perioperative complications hig

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a unique class of anticancer therapies showing promise in a broad range of solid tumors. ADCs targeting HER2 and TROP2 have already garnered regulatory approvals in some cancer types, with more trials under way, and therapies against other new targets, including HER3, are being explored as well. This PeerView educational activity based on a recent live symposium focuses on the implications of recent advances with ADCs and provides guidance for oncology nurses and other key members of the cancer care team on their clinical integration in a new era of targeted therapy across solid tumors. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the properties, mechanisms of action, latest clinical evidence, and current and potential clinical roles of validated and emerging HER2-, HER3-, and TROP2-targeted antibody-

Go online to PeerView.com/HCZ860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) changed the standards of care in the treatment of advanced solid tumors and are now rapidly transitioning into early-stage, curative-intent settings. New regulatory approvals have been recently granted for several ICIs as neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments for different cancers, and many more studies are under way. This shift is truly needed, as outcomes had plateaued in resectable cancers. To overcome the challenges of conducting ICI clinical trials in early-stage cancers and facilitate more rapid progress, the need for new surrogate measures of efficacy has been widely recognized. Pathologic response assessment of resection specimens after neoadjuvant therapy has emerged as one such new tool, and there is accumulating evidence supporting its relevance and advantages. However, some unanswered questions remain, and there has been a lack o

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating, progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting 10% of people over age 65 and increasing in global prevalence. Recent advances in disease-modifying therapies have opened the door to the possibility of treatment approaches that can slow or prevent disease progression and improve patient outcomes. Now, with several anti–amyloid beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibodies in late-stage development, there is hope for families, clinicians, and researchers. The greatest likelihood of treatment success lies in timely diagnosis and early intervention. In this activity, based on a live symposium held at the AD/PD 2022 International Conference on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases in Barcelona, Spain, an international panel of experts will discuss the importance of early recognition and diagnosis of AD and present the latest evidence on validated and emer

Cancer immunotherapy in the form of anti–PD-1, anti–PD-L1, and anti–CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies is swiftly expanding from metastatic to early-stage, curative-intent settings in an increasing number of solid tumors. Furthermore, it’s on the cusp of further explosive growth as other novel agents, including inhibitors of new checkpoints such as LAG-3 and TIGIT, are starting to emerge. Pathologists and oncologists play a crucial role in identifying patients who would benefit the most from the broadening arsenal of immunotherapies and assessing response to these therapies. While there are substantial gaps in biomarker testing, pathologic response assessment, and the use of immunotherapies in current practice, things will only become more complicated.

Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intensely pruritic, hyperkeratotic nodules symmetrically distributed on the trunk and extremities. PN is defined by intense pruritus lasting ≥6 weeks, history of repeated scratching, and subsequent development of pruritic, elevated, firm, and nodular skin lesions, in a vicious itch–scratch cycle. The intense itch associated with PN leads to sleep disturbances and reduced social participation and work productivity, resulting in a drastically reduced quality of life and psychosocial disturbances. Unfortunately, these issues experienced among patients with PN are further compounded by the lack of effective treatment options. In this activity, based on a recent live educational symposium, a panel of experts addresses real-world questions and dilemmas faced by providers and the PN patients for whom they ca

In the last two decades, there have been very limited advancements in the treatment of HR+, HER2- early breast cancer, and a particularly marked unmet need has existed for patients at the highest risk of recurrence. Fortunately, there is new hope of improved outcomes for these patients following the recent FDA approval of the first CDK4 and 6 inhibitor for the adjuvant treatment of patients with HR+, HER2-, node+ early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence and a Ki-67 score ≥20%. Shortly thereafter, guideline updates were released that recommended adjuvant CDK4 and 6 inhibitor therapy combined with endocrine therapy to a broader population of patients at high risk of recurrence. The emergence of this new therapeutic option along with varied indications and recommendations has resulted in much uncertainty about which patients should and should not receive adjuvant CDK4 and 6 i

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is defined by the presence of recurrent urticaria, angioedema, or both, for a period of 6 weeks or longer. There are several theories regarding the pathogenesis of CSU, none of which have been conclusively established. CSU is a self-limited disorder in most patients, with an average duration of disease of 2 to 5 years; although active CSU significantly impairs quality of life. Second-generation H1 antihistamines (sgAHs) in standard dose are effective in less than 50% of CSU patients. Increasing the dose of sgAHs improves treatment responses; however, every third to fourth patient will still remain symptomatic. Omalizumab, an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, may also be used for effective treatment, as well as cyclosporine. The current guideline-recommended treatment algorithm, though useful, is not perfect. The treatment of patients with CSU shou

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) comprise a critical component of the treatment arsenal for advanced/metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with numerous single-agent and combination options approved for use in the first-line setting. Despite the availability of a broad array of immunotherapy options, not all patients benefit from or have access to these agents, especially those in underserved populations and communities. Innovative solutions are needed to help address some of the challenges and improve access to level the playing field for more patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC. In this educational activity based on a recent web broadcast, experts provide useful clinical updates and multifaceted practical guidance for navigating the multitude of immunotherapy options for newly diagnosed patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC.
