Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael B Atkins

Michael B. Atkins, MD, and Robert Figlin, MD, discuss results from the EVEREST clinical trial as well as new data on TKIs, immunotherapy, and HIF-2 inhibitors. They also discuss adjuvant therapy and how depth of response differs between immunotherapy and TKIs, and look ahead to what the future holds.

Patients with severe asthma, uncontrolled symptoms, and exacerbations are at risk of losing lung function over time. Despite the availability of numerous treatments, many patients with severe asthma remain uncontrolled. Evolving insights into the pathophysiology of severe asthma have led to the development of biologic therapies that target epithelial alarmins, and their use is not restricted by phenotype/endotype or biomarkers. In this activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, our experts will review the latest clinical data, including key insights from medical congresses up to and including ATS 2022, with respect to novel and emerging therapies and other factors that impact the selection of treatment for patients with severe asthma who continue to have uncontrolled disease despite treatment. You will achieve greater insight into the most up-to-date evidence on the pathophysiology of severe asthma, particularly with regard to the role of epithelial alarmins in the development of severe asthma. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss the rationale for the use of therapeutic options that target epithelial alarmins, including TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25, for the treatment of severe asthma; Employ the latest pathophysiologic insights into the role of epithelial alarmins to the treatment of patients with severe asthma; and Develop treatment plans for patients with severe asthma, particularly those whose disease remains uncontrolled despite treatment, based on the latest clinical evidence with regard to novel and emerging therapies.

Michael B. Atkins, MD, talks with Robert A. Figlin, MD, about the importance of sequencing therapies for patients with BRAF-positive metastatic melanoma. Data from the DREAMSeq trial, which Dr Atkins updated at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, show a significant survival advantage at two years for patients who receive ipilimumab plus nivolumab prior to receiving a BRAF/MEK inhibitor. But not all patients fit that paradigm. Listen as Dr Atkins shares which patients he starts on immunotherapy and when he thinks is the best time for crossover to a targeted agent.

Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/G6aozfdBiuk Big business is pushing yet another unhealthy, addictive habit on our teens and young adults.  We can now add tanning's carcinogenic UV radiation to tobacco's cancer-triggering smoke, vaping's addicting nicotine, and alcohol's liver damaging metabolites. Community medicine and public health investigators at the University of Colorado reviewed the advertising and business practices of 94 tanning enterprises across  America.  They found that advertising preferentially targets the young with low, introductory pricing and packages that encourage overuse. Nineteen states ban indoor tanning salon use for those under 18 years, but tanning beds are also found in many health clubs and apartment complexes with little or no oversight.  Over 80,000 cases of potentially deadly melanoma surface each year, and tanning in salons but also on the beach could make you or your child one of the next victims. One last point to consider: a preliminary study from Georgetown University's Cancer Center suggest that indoor tanning may well be addictive.  It's disgusting that business once again preys on human frailty to make blood money.
