What’s New With HER2: Charting New Paths in NSCLC Care - Module 1: HER2 in NSCLC: Actionable Insights and Testing Recommendations
STATEMENT OF NEED
With the identification of oncogenic drivers and the development of targeted therapies, comprehensive molecular assessment has become a cornerstone of non"small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) management. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) alterations, which include gene mutations, gene amplifications, and protein overexpression, are emerging therapeutic targets. While testing can be used to guide treatment decisions, the heterogeneity of HER2 alterations and th... |

What’s New With HER2: Charting New Paths in NSCLC Care - Module 2: Current and Emerging Treatments for HER2-Mutated NSCLC
STATEMENT OF NEED
In recent years, the discovery of oncogenic drivers and development of targeted therapies have transformed the treatment of advanced non"small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Alterations in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which include gene mutations, gene amplifications, and protein overexpression, are therapeutic targets. Several HER2-targeted therapies are under investigation in NSCLC and have demonstrated clinical benefit, with trastuzumab deruxtecan re... |

Exploring the Connection Between the Microbiome and Allergy Development
Jenifer R. Lightdale, MD, MPH, introduces the role of the gut microbiome in immune system development and allergen sensitization. She briefly reviews the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA), with a focus on the latest guidelines and recommendations for reintroduction. Dr. Lightdale builds upon these topics by discussing the evidence supporting probiotics for the treatment of CMPA, summarizing the clinical data supporting the use of extensively hydroly... |

Nutrition and Depression: Advanced Clinical Concepts
Depression is an increasingly common, complex, inflammatory condition that co-occurs with a host of other conditions. This course will examine how we can combat depression through nutrition, starting with an exploration of the etiology of depression –taking a look at the role of neurotransmitters, the HPA axis and cortisol, gene expression (epigenetics), upregulation and downregulation, and the connections between depression and immunity and depression and obesity.We will then turn our atte... |
