Session Summary

As the prevalence of dementia rises, healthcare professionals face the challenge of recognizing symptoms, performing appropriate differential diagnostic workups, and treating it early. The importance of this is highlighted through new drug approvals and the integration of biomarkers for treatment response assessment. Moreover, navigating the concept of meaningful treatment benefit in preclinical and early stages of dementia poses distinct challenges. By the end of this presentation, participants will learn to navigate these complexities, optimize patient care through early recognition and tailored interventions, and interpret emerging treatment paradigms and biomarker data effectively.
