Virtual Tumor Board: Multidisciplinary Management of Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma
STATEMENT OF NEED
Sarcomas, which represent 1% to 2% of adult cancers, are a rare, heterogeneous group of neoplasms originating in the connective tissue. Soft tissue sarcomas, which begin in the muscle, tendons, fat, lymph, blood vessels, and nerves, encompass more than 80 histological subtypes.

A Class Act in Glaucoma Management: Differentiating Rho Kinase Inhibitors From the Pack
Medical management of glaucoma primarily focuses on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) by decreasing aqueous production, reducing episcleral venous pressure, and/or increasing uveoscleral and trabecular outflow. Recently approved agents have expanded treatment options beyond the traditional mainstays of prostaglandin analogues and β-blockers, engaging Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibition to improve outcomes for patients with glaucoma. In this CE monograph, experts in the field will review the clinic... |
