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 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

    • Recognize the incidence of genetic abnormalities commonly identified in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and counsel patients regarding how these alterations may predict potential response (or lack thereof) to targeted therapy.
    • Review recent therapeutic advances related to the long-term clinical care of patients with NSCLC and an EGFR tumor mutation, and discern how this information should be applied in practice.
    • Assess other oncogenic signaling pathways (eg, ALK, ROS1, MET, RET) mediating the growth of tumors in unique subsets of patients, and recall published data with commercially available and experimental agents exploiting these targets.
    • Develop an understanding of the biologic basis for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced NSCLC and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
    • Appreciate available clinical trial data with and the current role of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with chemotherapy and/or anti-angiogenic agents for patients with metastatic NSCLC.
    • Evaluate recently published clinical trial data with the use of an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody in combination with etoposide/platinum chemotherapy as first-line treatment for extensive-stage SCLC, and identify patients appropriate for this novel approach.
    • Educate patients about the side effects associated with therapies commonly used in the management of lung cancer, and provide preventive strategies to reduce or ameliorate these toxicities.
    • Identify opportunities to enhance the collaborative role of oncology nurses in the comprehensive biopsychosocial care of patients with NSCLC and SCLC to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
