Virtual Tumor Board®: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Treating Cancer-Related LEMS

05/04/2022

7:30 PM - 8:30 PM EDT

Overview

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune disorder leading to neuromuscular dysfunction, and approximately half of the cases of this disease are associated with malignancy. As such, optimal management of LEMS requires careful coordination among a variety of disciplines and specialties in health care to prevent progression of both LEMS and the underlying cancer.

This live Virtual Tumor Board® webcast is specifically designed to meet the needs of busy clinicians who treat patients with cancer and LEMS by providing a framework for diagnosis and treatment. Following presentations on current and emerging principles for detecting and managing LEMS, the faculty will discuss a series of challenging cases to highlight key issues and solutions in the real-world setting from the perspective of different specialties in cancer care.
