Overview:
Date & LocationFriday, April 12, 2019, 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM EST, Zuckerman Research Center, 417 East 68th Street, New York, NY
SpecialtiesSpecialties – Diagnostic Radiology, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, ENT, Head and Neck Oncology, Industry, Internal Medicine, Interventional Radiology, Neurology, Neuro-Oncology, Neuroradiology, Neurosurgery, Nuclear Medicine, Nurse Practitioner, Nursing, Pathology, Physician Assistant, Radiation Oncology, Surgical OncologyOverviewThis course aims to improve patient care and outcomes through evidence-based discussion of clinical practice guidelines and emerging therapies in order to assess and update current practices to promote earlier diagnosis and treatment of pituitary diseases. The multidisciplinary nature of the course will allow for dissemination of knowledge across the variety of practitioners caring for pituitary patients, and for the patients themselves.
After completion of this didactic and case-based educational activity, participants will be up to date on the latest developments in ongoing basic and translational science as well as the clinical management of patients with pituitary conditions. Participants will be able to review available and emerging medical therapies for Cushing’s and acromegaly, discuss new therapies for aggressive and malignant tumors, understand decision making involved in surgical intervention for pituitary tumors, get an overview on potential surgical complications, describe the role of radiation therapy for pituitary tumors, review neuro-ophthalmological findings in pituitary disease risks, discuss treatment of immunotherapy-related pituitary dysfunction, and assess advances in neuroimaging and tumor markers that may predict tumor behavior and clinical outcomes.
This course is intended for endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, radiation oncologists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, neuro-oncologists, family medicine and internal medicine physicians, physicians in training and other allied health professionals who treat and manage patients with pituitary diseases. We also invite patients with pituitary disease and their caregivers to attend this educational activity and participate in our interactive afternoon breakout sessions.
We are pleased to offer the Update on the Treatment of Pituitary Diseases: Emerging Therapies Course via live simulcast. Attendees registered for the live simulcast option will receive detailed instructions via email prior to the start of the course. This will include information on how to engage with the faculty (through an online Q&A) as well as information on how to claim CME credit – active participation throughout the live simulcast is encouraged.
The live simulcast option is available for MSK employees who work outside of the New York City area only, including Bergen, Westchester, Basking Ridge, Monmouth, Rockville Centre, Commack and Hauppauge. MSK employees within the New York city area are welcome to attend this course in person at Zuckerman Research Center.
