PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This live virtual TeleECHO educational series focuses on neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), a complex and heterogeneous genetic disorder with associated morbidities that significantly impair health-related quality of life. Engage with key experts in the field to improve knowledge regarding the pathophysiology of NF1 plexiform neurofibromas (NF1-PN) that have guided the investigation of targeted therapies which are revolutionizing the therapeutic landscape for both children and adults with symptomatic inoperable NF1-PN. Delve into in-depth discussions on case studies that bring real-world practical advice and involvement of comprehensive multidisciplinary care teams into the optimal care for patients to improve both their quality of life and disease outcomes.

- Interpret clinical trial data on available and emerging therapeutic options for the treatment of NF1-PN
- Incorporate clinical practice recommendations for the use of systemic therapies for NF1-PN and mitigation of potential adverse events
