Advanced Practice Provider EoE Program (Live/Virtual) | October 2025-Q and A

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Snyder discusses Mayo Clinic's multidisciplinary approach to eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE), emphasizing telehealth's role in long-term patient follow-up for those distant from academic centers, despite licensing challenges. The Cytosponge, a minimally invasive tool, offers an alternative to repeated endoscopies. Treatments can reverse mucosal changes, though submucosal fibrosis remains difficult to assess. For topical steroid therapy, various budesonide preparations exist, with the FDA-approved oral suspension preferred, but coverage issues persist. A strong nursing team is crucial in educating and coordinating care, enhancing patient receptiveness to multidisciplinary management, particularly for busy individuals seeking effective, streamlined treatment.
