EP. 7: Behind the Science: Behind Clinical Perspectives on Antimicrobial Stewardship

November 16th 2021

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the emphasis and urgency was placed on treating the novel coronavirus. As a result, many important initiatives such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) were put on hold. For example, studies have shown more antibiotics were prescribed during the first year of the pandemic. As the pandemic now begins to evolve into a new phase, clinicians can once again turn back again to the AMR issue. Clinicians offer insights into what medical community is doing right in this area where the challenges remain.

EP. 8: Behind the Science: Behind Recent Research in Pancreatic Cancer

November 15th 2021

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month and a good time to reflect on recent advancements in the treatment of patients with these difficult to treat tumors. Since pancreatic tumors rarely produce symptoms at earlier stages of the disease, patients typically present with disease that is in advanced stages when it is most difficult to control. Additionally, options for systemic therapies are limited. The editors at CancerNetwork® met with some thought leaders specializing in the treatment of pancreatic cancer to discuss recent research that has the potential to significantly impact care and ongoing trials that clinicians should be aware of.
