Half of the women in the US with migraine are never diagnosed. Of those who are, the journey to effective treatment may last a decade or longer. But newer and more effective targeted treatments are beginning to make a difference. Join Drs. Jessica Ailani and Dawn Buse as they discuss a novel approach to managing migraine and interview a patient whose migraine journey is unfortunately one traversed by many women.

Upwards of 47 million people in the U.S. suffer from migraines, often accompanied by widespread personal, professional, and social disabilities. Though a similar prevalence is initially observed between men and women, by mid-adulthood the prevalence of migraine is 3-fold greater in women than men. Newer agents, both injectable and oral and focused on modulating the calcitonin gene-related peptide pathway, have emerged and have proven highly effective in managing both acute and chronic migraine. Join Drs. Jessica Ailani and Dawn Buse as they provide an overview of the changing landscape of migraine therapy, especially as it impacts women across different life-stages.

The recent development and approval of two neuroactive steroids is likely to change the treatment paradigm for moderate to severe postpartum depression (PPD). These agents have a quick onset and function as GABAA positive allosteric modulators. Join Drs. Shulman and Deligiannidis as they address the burdens and impacts of PPD on mothers, babies, and partners, and deep dive into the pathophysiologic role and clinical findings associated with the use of neuroactive steroids in the management of PPD.

Early detection of cancer is essential to reducing the significant burdens associated with it. When cancer is detected at earlier stages, treatments can be initiated sooner, resulting in improved outcomes, reduced morbidity and mortality, and better quality of life. While the implementation of current screening guidelines has resulted in an overall reduction in cancer deaths, only 25 percent of cancers are diagnosed using traditional screening modalities, leaving much room for improvement. Blood-based multi-cancer early detection, or MCED, tests that can screen from four to greater than 50 types of cancers have been developed to complement the population-based screening of asymptomatic individuals. At the spring 2023 American Association for Cancer Research, also known as AACR, American Society of Clinical Oncology, or ASCO, and National Comprehensive Cancer Network, orNCCN, annual conferences, a multitude of data was presented on MCEDs, including real-world data, clinical trial data, novel MCEDs in development, MCED accuracy, and the inherent health equity challenges that their implementation will face. This educational activity has two parts. Dr. Candace Westgate delivers an MCED Primer designed to build primary care clinicians’ knowledge about the science of MCEDs and how to implement their use in primary care practice, followed by chapterized discussions between …

Effective triage tests are needed to lessen diagnostic uncertainty when assessing cervical cancer risk and selecting which patients will move on to colposcopy. An FDA-approved dual-staining cytology test is available that can help in decision-making for a wide range of patients. Join Drs. Warner Huh and Sarah Dilley as they address current 2019 ASCCP guidelines and anticipate potential updates to ASCCP’s guidance in 2023.
