CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Assess the anticipated benefits, risks and long-term outcomes associated with the use of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy in the management of Stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and consider this information when counseling individuals regarding current therapeutic recommendations.
    • Analyze the available efficacy and safety data on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors as adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment in patients with non-metastatic NSCLC, and consider the potential effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
    • Recognize the roles of surgery and radiation therapy for the multimodal management of localized NSCLC within the context of evolving adjuvant and neoadjuvant paradigms in this disease.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with localized NSCLC, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
    • Evaluate the clinical relevance of the various genomic abnormalities found in patients with localized NSCLC, and appreciate ongoing research studies attempting to validate the efficacy of targeted therapy in these individuals.
    • Appreciate Phase III findings supporting the use of adjuvant osimertinib for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC after complete resection, and appropriately integrate this strategy in the adjuvant setting for eligible individuals.
