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

    • Acknowledge published and emerging clinical trial findings with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for localized and locally advanced NSCLC with an EGFR mutation, and identify patients for whom this novel approach would be warranted.
    • Evaluate the documented efficacy of chemotherapy with EGFR TKI therapy, and consider the current role of this strategy as first-line treatment for metastatic NSCLC and an EGFR mutation.
    • Appreciate the biological rationale for dual inhibition of MET and EGFR for NSCLC with an EGFR mutation, and understand data establishing the benefit of this approach in the front-line and relapsed/refractory settings.
    • Consider the rationale for targeting HER3 in NSCLC with an EGFR mutation, and review the structural components of and available research with novel HER3-directed antibody-drug conjugates.
    • Understand the biology of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, and evaluate how available therapies should be used for patients with these abnormalities.
    • Recognize common side effects associated with available and emerging agents with activity in NSCLC with an EGFR mutation, and develop supportive management strategies to minimize and/or ameliorate these toxicities.
