CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.
  
  OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
  Traditional chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy have had a modest effect on long-term outcomes for patients with lung cancer. However, the advent of biologic and immunotherapeutic agents has led to recent improvements in disease-free and overall survival in select populations. In order to offer optimal patient care, including the option of clinical trial participation, clinicians must be well informed of these advances. Featuring information on the latest research developments, this program is designed to assist medical and radiation oncologists with the formulation of up-to-date strategies for the care of patients with lung cancer.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Review research data documenting the efficacy and safety of approved and investigational anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to determine the current and/or potential utility of each in clinical practice.
  • Appreciate emerging research data documenting the benefits and risks of sequential anti-PD-L1 therapy for patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not experienced disease progression after chemoradiation therapy.
  • Consider published safety and efficacy data with available and emerging therapeutic strategies, and appropriately incorporate targeted therapies into the care of patients with identified tumor driver mutations or alterations.
  • Formulate management strategies for small cell lung cancer, considering the contributory roles of local and systemic therapy in addition to current research evaluating novel immunotherapeutic and targeted approaches.
  • Educate patients about the side effects of recently approved novel agents and immunotherapeutic approaches, and provide preventive strategies to reduce or ameliorate these toxicities.
