Lova Sun, MD, MSCE, discusses resistance mechanisms against targeted agents for the treatment of thyroid cancer.

A medical professional outlines the goals and challenges of communicating with his patient, emphasizing the importance of setting realistic expectations for halting disease progression and potentially achieving some degree of disease reversibility, while also exploring the roles of first-line and second-line therapies in the management of chronic graft versus host disease.

Yi-Bin Chen, MD, presents a patient case, detailing the symptomology and pathology of graft versus host disease, such as dry eyes, dry mouth, and difficulty swallowing, while also addressing steroid dependence as an indication for initiating second-line therapy.

Lucia Masarova, MD, PhD, discusses some of the latest updates across myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Dr. Schiller will discuss the limitations of current treatment options for BPDCN in elderly transplant-ineligible patients and the emerging BPDCN research and data that they are most interested in to improve outcomes in this specific patient population.

Dr. Schiller will discuss how their treatment approach would differ for a 74-year-old BPDCN patient with only well-controlled type 2 diabetes as a comorbidity and an ECOG performance status of 0.

Dr. Schiller will discuss the red flag symptoms that increase suspicion of BPDCN, the process for diagnosis, and any challenges with differential diagnosis. Dr. Schiller will also provide strategies and resources to improve community recognition and diagnosis of this rare disease.

Dr. Schiller will discuss the limitations of currently available BPDCN treatments, the historical use of chemotherapy regimens and their potential to address unmet needs, and effective strategies for managing the financial burden and ensuring access to tagraxofusp for BPDCN patients.

Dr. Schiller will discuss the key factors that make the transplant ineligible BPDCN patient population more difficult to treat, the major goals of therapy for these patients, and how the mechanism of action of tagraxofusp suggests potential efficacy in BPDCN.

Dr. Schiller will discuss the key clinical and pathologic features that distinguish BPDCN from other malignancies, as well as the potential differential diagnoses that share a similar immunophenotype.

Discussing how various treatments for chronic GvHD impact quality of life in terms of disease response and side effects.

Exploring general principles and practices for monitoring and mitigating adverse events in patients with chronic GvHD treated with systemic agents, and determining when dose modification or treatment discontinuation is warranted.
