New Webinar on Cancer Therapeutics and Their Risk to Corneal and Anterior Segment Health

A new webinar sponsored by the ASCRS Cornea Clinical Committee focuses on new cancer therapeutics and their effect on corneal and anterior segment health.

In “Antibody Drug Conjugates—An Emerging Class of Cancer Therapeutics Which Pose Risks to Corneal and Anterior Segment Health,” moderators Naveen Rao, MD, and Winston Chamberlain, MD, along with speakers Kamran Riaz, MD, Stella Kim, MD, and Farooq Asim, MD, discuss just what antibody drug conjugates are and what they’re used for. The faculty then reviews the possible complications and adverse reactions within the anterior segment that are associated with these drugs. They also provide a communication algorithm with the oncologist, including considerations for dose or frequency changes.

This webinar is approved for 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Access the educational program here.
