How do your colleagues incorporate the latest research and guideline recommendations into the clinical management of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)? With a median overall survival of only 15 months, GBM has long presented a challenge to the multidisciplinary management team. To maximize patient survival and QOL, clinicians who treat patients with this complex, diverse, fast-growing, and aggressive brain tumor must be prepared to quickly create personalized management plans that incorporate several new modalities, including tumor treating fields (TTFields) and efficacious systemic therapies, as well as clinical trial–based options. In a new event from PeerView and the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA), an expert panel will review the latest efficacy and safety data on multimodal GBM treatments, along with a clear rationale for selecting guideline-recommended treatments and strategies for incorporating these advances into clinical practice. This case-based activity has been designed to help clinicians hone their informed decision-making skills and personalize management plans and for the benefit of patients with GBM in a variety of settings. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Describe the biologic rationale and latest clinical evidence for the use of guideline-recommended treatment strategies, such as TTFields and multikinase and TRK inhibitors, for patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM, Identify patients with GBM who may benefit from participation in a clinical trial, and assess the applications of emerging approaches based on available data on their efficacy and safety, Develop personalized management plans for patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM, including within the context of clinical trials, based on the current clinical evidence, guideline recommendations, and patient needs and preferences.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a clinically complex disease that is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The mechanisms behind its pathophysiology are not yet fully understood, but HCM has multiple underlying drivers, including cardiac muscle hypercontractility. It is the most common genetic heart disease and follows an autosomal dominant pattern with a poorly defined prevalence, age-dependent penetrance, and widely variable outcomes, as no medications are specifically indicated for its treatment. Encouragingly, recent advances in precision medicine and emerging treatment strategies, such as targeted therapy with small molecules, have demonstrated improvements in imaging parameters and quality of life. In this engaging activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, leading experts examine the pathophysiology of HCM, current guideline recommendations, and patient-centered care, as they explore the latest evidence for myosin inhibitors. Compelling videos of patients with HCM are shown to articulate first-person perspectives on how this condition affects individuals and their families. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Differentially diagnose patients suspected of having HCM consistent with current guidance and recent advances in testing and technology to promote early recognition, Recognize the burdens that patients with HCM experience and the effects that diagnosis and treatments can have on their lifestyle, activity level, and emotional well-being, Select from among current and emerging therapeutic strategies based on their efficacy, safety, and ability to address the underlying pathophysiology of HCM, Collaborate with multidisciplinary and interprofessional care colleagues to personalize HCM management plans consistent with new recommendations, including imaging and genetic testing, medical therapies, sudden cardiac death risk assessment and prevention, and lifestyle considerations, such as referring patients to HCM centers.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are swiftly transitioning from the metastatic to early-stage settings and are expected to transform the multimodal management of patients with resectable stage I-III NSCLC. Remarkable data have emerged from several trials assessing ICIs and rational combinations as neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant therapies, but many questions remain and misperceptions persist. 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 duration of therapy, and how should responses be assessed? What adverse events should be anticipated, and are perioperative complications higher? This PeerView MasterClass, based on a recent live web broadcast, addresses these and many other essential topics. Watch this engaging discussion about new, practice-changing evidence, debates about implications and applicability to practice, and demonstrations of how to achieve better surgeon–oncologist partnerships to facilitate appropriate incorporation of ICIs into multimodal treatment plans for patients with stage I-III NSCLC. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Describe the mechanistic aspects of immune checkpoint inhibition, rationale for using immunotherapy as a component of multimodal therapy in earlier stages of lung cancer, and key clinical trials evaluating immunotherapy in these settings, Assess the real evidence and misconceptions related to the safety and adverse effects of checkpoint inhibitors when used in the treatment of patients with locally advanced and early-stage lung cancer as well as potential implications for surgical outcomes in these patients, Apply the latest evidence and guidelines for integrating immunotherapy into multimodal treatment plans in locally advanced and earlier stages of NSCLC, Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team to develop evidence-based, individualized treatment approaches for patients with stage III or earlier lung cancer in the context of clinical practice or clinical trials.

Patients with cancer often present to the ED in an acutely ill state with complications from their cancer or treatments used, but a broadening use of a new class of cancer immunotherapies has changed the types of complications experienced by these patients. This spectrum of unique toxicities, termed immune-related adverse events (irAEs), is less well known, and commonly, they are overlooked, misdiagnosed, and not appropriately managed in ED settings. Standard algorithms for diagnosis and treatment no longer apply, as irAEs require a distinct approach. Are you prepared to handle the new category of oncologic emergencies you are likely to increasingly encounter in your ED? This activity will help you get up to date and change your practice. Emergency medicine and oncology experts will join forces to provide practical, case-based guidance for timely and accurate recognition, triage, diagnosis, and management of irAEs associated with novel immunotherapies in patients with cancer who present to the ED. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Review the biologic reasons and mechanisms that drive the development of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) during or after treatment with cancer immunotherapies, Describe the spectrum of irAEs associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and combinations, including those most likely to be encountered by emergency medicine (EM) professionals in the emergency department (ED), Implement latest recommendations for identification, assessment, diagnosis/differential diagnosis, and management of irAEs in ED settings, Integrate team-based approaches to triage, evaluate, diagnose, and manage pertinent irAEs in the ED in collaboration with oncology professionals.
