CME credits: 0.25 Valid until: 16-04-2026 Claim your CME credit at https://reachmd.com/programs/cme/second-line-chemotherapy-options-in-metastatic-pdac/33136/ Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, also known as PDAC, is a lethal disease that is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage with an extremely poor prognosis. Advancements in treatment regimens have improved survival rates, but early diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes, and awareness of risk factors is vital for early diagnosis. Cytotoxic chemotherapy is the cornerstone of treatment for advanced or metastatic cases, although molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapies may benefit select patients. Treatment selection depends on several factors, including patients' performance status and comorbidities, which should be considered alongside the efficacy and safety profiles of the different chemotherapy regimens. This two-part programme provides an overview of the different first- and second-line chemotherapy options. Complete both modules, answer pre- and post-test questions and start earning CME credits.

Guest: Jordan Orange, MD, PhD Guest: Joshua Milner, MD Guest: Eric Silver, MD Guest: Steven Lobritto, MD On this episode of Advances in Care, host Erin Welsh explores the story behind the GUARDIAN study, where thousands of newborn babies have been screened against rare disease by sequencing their genes, and looking for more conditions than any of the current standard screening panels. First, she hears from Dr. Jordan Orange, Physician-in-Chief at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, about why genetic testing is a promising way of not only catching treatable rare diseases in infants, but also expanding health equity and medical resources to marginalized populations. Erin also hears from Dr. Josh Milner, a pediatric immunologist who treated a patient with a rare form of SCID, or severe combined immune deficiency, also known as bubble boy disease that was detected in the GUARDIAN screening panel. SCID is a disease that typically occurs in 1 of 50,000 babies. But GUARDIAN caught two cases within the first 10,000 babies involved in the program, indicating that the rate of the disease might be higher than expected, and that the most accurate way to detect is through genetic screening. Dr. Steven Lobritto, a pediatric gastroenterologist, also weighs in on how genetic screening can help identify Wilson's disease, a copper storage …

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Franklyn Rocha, MD, a fellow neurologist and with an unusual locum tenens practice. He is a clinical neurophysiologist and neurohospitalist consultant and Chief Executive Officer/Owner of IRD Neuroanalysis, Inc. Dr. Rocha does in-person neurology consults at Harbor-UCLA Hospital near his home but primarily works as a telemedicine physician from the first floor of his townhouse! Dr. Rocha is also a new father of a healthy, bouncing, baby boy. Prior to his son's birth, Frank had been thinking a lot about fatherhood. He published an essay on KevinMD.com about how difficult it can be for physician fathers to be physically present with a newborn. He cites academic demands, peer pressure from other physicians, lack of paid paternal leave, and the tradition of putting patients first as formidable obstacles that discourage new physician fathers from taking parental leave. It's clear that Frank intends to be a successful physician and entrepreneur, but he also didn't want to miss out on the unique experience of fatherhood. During our 30-minute podcast, Frank explained how owning his own business and working telemedicine allowed him to spend nearly four months of parental leave with his wife and newborn son. For physicians with the added challenge of a special needs child, parenting demands are even greater. For these physicians, David Hirsch's “Special Father's Network” offers valuable resources. To learn more about Dr. Rocha, please visit his Linked-In profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklyn-rocha-cabrero-m-d-67287a27/Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Evan Glazer, MD, a colleague at Regional One Health in Memphis, TN, part of the University of Tennessee Health Science (UTHSC) system. Dr. Glazer is a practicing surgical oncologist and Associate Professor of Surgery at UTHSC. He also received Memphis Magazine's 2024 Innovator Award. During our 25-minute conversation, Dr. Glazer described the extensive training that led to his current position as a surgical oncologist at Regional One Health. He completed four years of college, four years of medical school, five years of general surgery residency, two years of a research fellowship on liver and pancreas cancer, and then two years of clinical fellowship at the Moffit Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, a total of 17 years of training! Dr. Glazer is now a Board-Certified Surgical Oncologist. Dr. Glazer explained that in the US, general surgeons provide most surgical cancer care. However, some cases are complex and require additional skills, which is where a surgical oncologist can step in. Surgical oncologists routinely operate on cancer patients, which gives them a level of experience and expertise not always possessed by general surgeons.  Dr. Glazer explained how advances in neuroimaging, including CT, MRI, and PET scans, have aided surgeons by better identifying anatomical structures that vary from patient to patient. Collaboration between medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and others can lead to optimal clinical results. Cancer is not always a "death sentence" as it used to be. To learn more, please watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite streaming device! To contact Dr. Glazer, please call Regional One Health: 901.545.7100.Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Ronnie Laughlin, breast cancer survivor and author of “An Atypical Journey: Facing Breast Cancer Alone in the Middle East with God and My Tribe.” She also wrote the companion guide, “My Appointment Notebook,” to help people navigate the health care system when challenged with a breast cancer diagnosis.  During our 30-minute conversation, we discussed how Ronnie handled the diagnosis of breast cancer, which she received while living alone in Saudi Arabia in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown. She toughed it out during her chemotherapy, employing the determination and resilience that made her a Division 1 basketball player years ago.  Her competitive nature and resolve were buttressed by strong Catholic Faith. Ronnie believes that her life experiences prior to her breast cancer diagnosis were God's “perfect preparation” that endowed her with the necessary skills to successfully navigate her illness.  Ronnie explained that she wrote her books to help other people with breast cancer better understand how it affects their bodies and provide strategies to succeed with treatment. Ronnie's advice to those affected by breast cancer or other life threatening illness? “Keep moving forward and keep a positive attitude.” You can find Ronnie Laughlin's books on Amazon.  For more information, check out her website: ronnielaughlin.comAnd social media:Instagram: @ronnielaughlinFacebook: V.ronnielaughlin.comauthorPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.
