CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Counsel patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations regarding available therapies, explaining the relevance of mutation type and other clinical factors.
    • Communicate the efficacy and safety of approved ALK inhibitors to appropriate patients with NSCLC.
    • Assess available research with approved RET inhibitors, and use this information to appropriately educate patients with newly diagnosed and progressive NSCLC.
    • Convey the clinical relevance of a positive KRAS G12C mutation test result to patients with NSCLC, and appreciate available research findings with approved agents demonstrating efficacy in these individuals.
    • Recollect other oncogenic pathways such as MET and HER2 mediating the pathogenesis of tumors in unique patient subsets, and recall published data with commercially available agents exploiting these targets.
    • Review recent therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in the treatment of NSCLC, and discern how these approaches can be optimally employed.
    • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with targeted agents, immune checkpoint inhibitors and other available novel approaches for NSCLC, and implement strategies to manage and mitigate them.
    • Recall new and emerging data with novel agents and strategies currently under investigation for metastatic NSCLC, and consider the role these may soon play in disease management.
