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 non-small cell cancer (NSCLC).

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this CNE (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

    • Evaluate the benefits, risks and long-term outcomes associated with the use of local and systemic treatment modalities in the management of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and consider this information when counseling patients regarding current therapeutic recommendations.
    • Understand the biologic basis for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with chemoradiation therapy for patients with nonmetastatic NSCLC.
    • Appreciate the FDA approval of anti-PD-L1 antibody consolidation therapy for patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not experienced disease progression after concurrent chemoradiation therapy, and discern how this strategy can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine clinical practice.
    • Recognize immune-related adverse events and other common side effects associated with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors as consolidation therapy for patients with Stage III NSCLC, and offer supportive strategies to minimize and/or manage these toxicities.

    ACCREDITATION STATEMENT
    Research To Practice (RTP) is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Commission on Accreditation.
