Management of Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Presented by Fox Chase Cancer Center, the Temple Lung Center, and the Temple Health Office for Continuing Medical Education, this conference is designed as a forum for discussion of advances in technology and treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer. Multidisciplinary perspectives, including medical, surgical and radiation oncology, pulmonology and radiology will be presented.

The Potential for Bronchoscopic Interventions in Chronic Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis is a clinical diagnosis characterized by chronic cough and phlegm production. It is typically associated with cigarette smoking and puts individuals at risk for respiratory exacerbations, reduces health related quality of life, and mortality. Current treatment options are limited and are largely ineffective. This program will focus on the new bronchoscopic interventions that are under development for the treatment of chronic bronchitis.

Pulmonary Hypertension: An update on diagnosis, treatment and risk assessment
Pulmonary hypertension encompasses a broad scope of disease states. This program will focus on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) which begins as a vasculopathy within the small pulmonary arteries.

Clofazimine in the Treatment of Pulmonary Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) Disease
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), particularly Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), has become increasingly more prevalent in patients causing pulmonary dysfunction.
Course
Diaphragm Dysfunction
While respiratory muscle dysfunction is well-documented, it’s often an underdiagnosed cause of dyspnea, and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Sources range from focal diaphragm dysfunction to systemic neuromuscular disease, often with overlooked symptoms and delayed diagnosis. This CME activity is divided into three sections, with a focus on general approach and diagnostic modalities for patients with suspected respiratory muscle impairment, surgical interventions for unilateral diaphragm dysfunction, and evaluation and treatment of systemic neuromuscular diseases.
