CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the various oncogenic alterations identifiable in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase domain and determine how these may predict potential response to currently available EGFR-directed therapies.
    • Acknowledge the FDA approval of adjuvant EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy for localized EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel approach would be warranted.
    • Evaluate published and emerging clinical trial findings supporting the use of EGFR TKI therapy alone and in combination with other systemic treatments as first-line therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC and an actionable EGFR mutation and consider the effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
    • Develop an optimal approach to the management of EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC and CNS metastases, considering the implications of symptomatology, number of lesions and other relevant factors.
    • Describe mechanisms of tumor resistance to EGFR TKIs and discern how available and investigational therapies can be optimally employed in the protocol and nonresearch care of patients with progressive EGFR mutation-positive disease.
    • Evaluate the mechanism of action and published research data with FDA approved novel treatment approaches for patients with NSCLC and an EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, and consider how these therapies fit into current clinical management algorithms.
    • Recall the biological rationale for the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel therapeutic approaches for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC.
