Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Eric Klein, MD With an urgent need to screen for cancer, clinical trials have shown that the multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test Galleri® can screen for more than 50 distinct cancer types in adults 50 and over and predict its origin. Questions have remained regarding the risk of cancer for those patients with a CSD MCED result, followed by a diagnostic evaluation that did not result in a cancer diagnosis and a second MCED test. Recent research was conducted to help address this gap, and now, Dr. Eric Klein joins Dr. Charles Turck to share the real-world outcomes following a Galleri MCED retest. Dr. Klein is a distinguished scientist at Grail and one of the elite investigators on the clinical studies that led to the development of the Galleri MCED test.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Yi Bin Chen, MD Guest: Olaf Penack, MD For the past several decades, standard treatment for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) has been systemic high-dose steroids.1 While essential in some ways to initially control aGVHD, steroids are not beneficial in the long run due to the immunosuppression and toxicities associated with high cumulative doses.1,2 So what can be done moving forward to improve first-line steroid response and minimize cumulative steroid exposure? Joining Dr Charles Turck to discuss the potential of nonimmunosuppressive steroid-sparing agents for the first-line treatment of aGVHD are Drs Yi Bin Chen and Olaf Penack.

Participants will learn how to integrate clinical trial data into guideline-concordant treatment plans for patients that have progressed following a covalent BTK inhibitor. The program highlights the importance of evidence-based approaches and the use of noncovalent BTK inhibitors for relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL and MCL. Attendees will also explore emerging data that could influence future treatment guidelines, and a case example of a patient with CLL/SLL relapsing after 2 prior lines of therapy, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL-2 inhibitor.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Vivek Kaul, MD The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) recently released a new guideline on when to use endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in managing early esophageal and gastric cancers. To learn more about when to use each approach, Dr. Peter Buch sits down with guideline co-author Dr. Vivek Kaul. Dr. Kaul is also the Segal-Watson Professor of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.
