CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appreciate recently presented Phase III data supporting the efficacy of osimertinib as adjuvant therapy for patients with Stage IB to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR tumor mutation, and identify patients who may be appropriate for treatment with this novel approach.
    • Appraise the FDA approval of anti-PD-L1 antibody consolidation therapy for patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not experienced disease progression after standard platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy, and appropriately and safely integrate this strategy into clinical practice.
    • Recognize recent FDA approvals and other therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies and/or chemotherapy or chemobiologic therapy for newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC, and discern how these approaches can be optimally employed in patient care.
    • Review recent advances in the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors with or without chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, and consider how these regimens can be appropriately and safely integrated into treatment algorithms.
    • Recall the clinical relevance of other oncogenic pathways (eg, ALK, ROS1, HER2) in patients with NSCLC, and appreciate available clinical research data guiding the optimal selection and sequencing of therapies.
