CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This program is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate various clinical, biological and patient-related factors, such as age, site or bulk of disease, performance status, comorbid conditions and receipt of prior therapy, and use this information to personalize treatment recommendations for newly diagnosed extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
  • Review long-term data supporting the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy for patients with ES-SCLC, and consider how these regimens can be appropriately and safely integrated into clinical practice.
  • Appreciate the biological rationale for the evaluation of maintenance treatment after chemoimmunotherapy induction, and recognize available research establishing the benefit of this approach.
  • Recognize adverse events associated with available first-line and maintenance therapies for ES-SCLC, and develop strategies to manage and mitigate these complications.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel first-line and maintenance strategies for ES-SCLC, and as appropriate, counsel patients about availability and participation.
