Cancer of the uterine corpus, also called endometrial cancer, is the most common cancer of the female genital tract, with the American Cancer Society estimating that there will be 65,950 new diagnoses and 12,550 fatal cases in the United States in 2022. In this interview, Ritu Salani, MD, Director of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Health, touches base on a recent activity she led, Emerging Checkpoint Inhibitor-Based Strategies for Advanced Endometrial Cancer. In addition, she discusses updates since recording the activity and why it's important for health care professionals to participate in staying up to date with the evolving landscape of endometrial cancer treatment options.
Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) is a common and potentially life-threatening consequence of chemotherapy, as it may lead to serious infections for patients with cancer. These infections result in hospital stays, increased morbidity and mortality, and considerable financial burden. In this interview, Dr. Maura Abbott explains the importance of managing and educating patients about CIN.
Myelofibrosis is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the buildup of scar tissue in the bone marrow, leading to decreased erythropoiesis, progressive bone marrow failure, and anemia. Currently, the discovery of the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway's role in the pathogenesis of myelofibrosis is transforming the landscape with novel agents that improve patients' outcomes. However, correctly diagnosing and managing this disease using novel therapies and strategies remains challenging for clinicians.
An educational enduring online activity provided by i3 Health has demonstrated knowledge gains pertaining to up-to-date treatment and personalized health care plans for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently the American Cancer Society estimated that CRC would see 151,030 new cases, with 52,580 of these diagnoses being fatal, this year alone, making CRC the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. If found early, CRC can be and is often cured, with a 5-year survival rate ...
An educational live and enduring activity provided by i3 Health has demonstrated significant learning outcomes for the management and treatment of patients with myelofibrosis. Myelofibrosis, considered a form of chronic leukemia, is a rare type of myeloproliferative neoplasm. An estimated one-third of individuals who have myelofibrosis will not show any symptoms in the early stages of the disorder, which can last many years. However, as the disease develops, they will begin to exhibit symptoms s...
An educational live and enduring activity provided by i3 Health has demonstrated increased expertise and learning outcomes for treatment of patients with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men, seeing an average of 1 out of 8 men being diagnosed with it within their lifetime. The typical treatment for progressive prostate disease is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT); however, it is common for prostate cancer to become castration-resistant or resistant to ADT....

Follicular lymphoma, an indolent, difficult-to-treat B-cell malignancy, is complicated by evolving disease subtypes. Patient outcomes can be hampered by the failure of the multidisciplinary team to establish consensus on the optimal timing, schedule, and length of follicular lymphoma treatment. In addition, the rapid pace of research makes it difficult to stay abreast of the latest and most clinically relevant therapies. This educational gap in the treatment and management of follicular lymphoma...
Lung cancer is diagnosed in approximately 235,760 individuals in the United States each year, and 131,880 people die of the disease annually. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for 84% of these cases, has a dismal 5-year survival rate of 18%, and most patients will develop progressive disease within 5 months of their final cycle of first-line classical doublet chemotherapy. The use of tumor histology in determining optimal treatment strategies and relevant molecular biomarkers ha...

As the number of treatments for recurrent ovarian cancer expands, confusion may develop over which therapeutic strategy is best to use. Numerous patient factors need to be taken into account when deciding on a treatment plan, such as patient health status, predictive/prognostic markers, disease-free interval, number of lines and agents used previously, toxicities remaining from previous lines of therapy, and the extent of disease relapse. The new research constantly being conducted creates anoth...
