CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in basic, translational and clinical cancer research or treatment.
  
  OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
  The past several years have seen an explosion in the emergence of new therapies that leverage the natural ability of the human body to attack and treat cancer. Known as cancer immunotherapies, these treatments are generating excitement all over the world as they have reshaped the management of lung cancer in previously unimagined ways. That being said, a number of controversies and questions remain with regard to the current application of these agents in clinical practice.
  
  These proceedings from a satellite CME symposium held during the 2019 AACR Annual Meeting feature discussions with leading lung cancer investigators about the use of immunotherapy in the clinical care of patients with this disease. By providing information on important developments, this activity will assist medical oncologists and other healthcare professionals to address existing management uncertainties and determine the current and future roles of immune checkpoint inhibitors in lung cancer.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  

  • Understand the biologic basis for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with chemoradiation therapy for patients with nonmetastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Appreciate the recent FDA approval of anti-PD-L1 antibody consolidation therapy for patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not experienced disease progression after concurrent chemoradiation therapy, and discern how this strategy can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine clinical practice.
  • Consider the available data and investigator perspectives regarding the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors as single agents or in combination regimens for patients with metastatic NSCLC with or without targetable mutations.
  • Recognize immune-related adverse events and other common side effects associated with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, and offer supportive strategies to minimize and manage these toxicities.
  • Recall emerging data with novel approaches using immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with NSCLC, and consider how these strategies may be applied in future clinical practice.
