TARGET AUDIENCE
This educational activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.
OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Lung cancer is a devastating disease with broad impact on public health as it accounts for 13% of all new cancer cases in the United States and the most cancer-related deaths among both men and women. The last several years have seen an explosion in the emergence of new treatments, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies, that have transformed the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, although these therapies have been shown to improve survival, they have also led to changes in the prevailing treatment algorithms and new challenges in the management of this disease. In order to offer optimal patient care, clinicians must be well informed of these advances.
This CME program features roundtable discussions with leading lung cancer experts on the optimal clinical care of patients with metastatic NSCLC. By reviewing available clinical trial data in the context of expert perspectives, this activity will assist medical oncologists with the formulation of evidence-based strategies, which in turn will facilitate optimal patient care.
