Overactive bladder is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated, but fortunately there's a newer treatment option with the beta-3 adrenoreceptor agonists. This class demonstrates efficacy without anticholinergic adverse effects, enabling you to provide optimal, patient-centered care for residents of long-term care facilities. This PeerView educational activity is designed to help improve your ability to accurately recognize overactive bladder, apply appropriate diagnostic criteria, and incorporate newer treatment options. Expert faculty explain the clinically relevant ways in which the newer beta-3 adrenoreceptor agonists differ from traditional antimuscarinics, as well as how they differ from each other with regard to selectivity and safety. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Recognize the individual, clinical, and economic burdens of OAB specific to patients living in long-term care facilities; Engage members of the healthcare team to routinely screen long-term care residents for symptoms of OAB; Apply recommended diagnostic criteria to differentiate OAB from other urinary conditions with shared symptomatology; and Implement individualized OAB treatment plans that minimize risks related to cardiovascular health, cognitive impairment and dementia, and polypharmacy concerns.

As the therapeutic landscape for gynecologic cancers (ovarian, endometrial, and cervical) rapidly evolves, how can oncology nurses effectively support patients and integrate the growing clinical evidence for approved and emerging strategies? Nurses can rise to the challenge with this PeerView Live MasterClass & Nursing Practice Forum, based on a recent live event developed in collaboration with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. An expert panel showcases what nursing professionals should know about diagnostic testing, PARP inhibitors, immunotherapy options, and managing potential adverse events. Through the lens of patient case scenarios, they will also share personal reflections on supporting patients throughout their treatment process. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Review current efficacy and safety evidence of immunotherapy and PARP inhibitors in gynecologic malignancies such as endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancers; Implement nurse-guided strategies to integrate approved and emerging systemic therapy options into personalized management and education plans for patients with gynecologic cancers, including information on diagnostic testing, therapeutic expectations, safety considerations, and clinical trial opportunities; and Apply effective team-based safety strategies to promptly identify, mitigate, manage, and counsel patients on the spectrum of adverse events associated with systemic therapy for endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancers.

Sumanta Kumar Pal, MD, FASCO - Fine-Tuning the Wave of Innovation in RCC: Personalized Management Across the Disease Spectrum

Go online to PeerView.com/DGX860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Innovation in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has brought new opportunities to improve patient outcomes through personalized medicine. With multiple FDA approvals and promising agents being explored in a variety of settings, multitargeted TKIs and immune checkpoint inhibitors have earned their place in cancer care plans either as guideline-recommended therapy or through clinical trial enrollment. In this activity, which was based on a recent live event, a panel of expert oncologists combines a concise overview of essential research on approved and emerging RCC treatments with discussion of real-life patient cases to provide guidance on integrating validated strategies into everyday patient care. Learn how patient-, disease-, and treatment-specific factors affect therapeutic selection and sequencing—including when to consider adjuvant therapy, which patients may benefit from immunotherapy-based combination regimens in the frontline setting, and how to determine which strategies to recommend for patients with relapsed disease. Hear guidance on collaborative approaches to managing adverse events, insights on the use of emerging agents, and updates on clinical trials underway. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Evaluate treatment efficacy and safety of approved and emerging therapeutic regimens for patients with RCC; Select personalized therapeutic strategies based on current evidence and patient-, disease-, and treatment-specific factors for patients with RCC; and Integrate strategies to anticipate, mitigate, and manage various adverse events associated with treatments for patients with RCC
