Introducing the latest episode of the Spot Diagnosis Podcast: Update on Psoriasis.
Psoriasis was the focus of our second Spot Diagnosis episode over five years ago. Since that time, the treatment landscape has expanded considerably, with the development of new oral agents and biologic therapies.
In this episode, we are joined once again by Associate Professor Peter Foley who provides a comprehensive update on current treatment strategies and provides a suggested treatment approach to three clinical scenarios.
We would like to thank our Institute Partner, Melbourne Pathology, for their support of the Spot Diagnosis Podcast and our sponsor for this episode, Leo Pharma.
