CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Assess the anticipated benefits, risks and long-term outcomes associated with adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy for localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and consider this information when counseling patients regarding therapeutic recommendations.
    • Analyze the biological basis for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with localized NSCLC, and evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy.
    • Evaluate published clinical research data with EGFR-directed therapy as adjuvant treatment for localized NSCLC with an EGFR mutation, and identify patients for whom this novel approach would be warranted.
    • Recognize adverse events associated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and EGFR-directed therapy for patients with localized NSCLC, and understand the supportive strategies available to minimize and manage these toxicities.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational strategies for localized NSCLC, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
