CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appraise the efficacy and safety of approved and investigational ALK inhibitors, and determine how these agents can be integrated into the protocol and nonresearch care of patients with NSCLC with ALK rearrangements.
    • Describe mechanisms of tumor resistance to ALK inhibitors, and discern how available and investigational therapies can be optimally employed in current and future clinical practice for patients with advanced NSCLC with ALK rearrangements.
    • Consider the mechanism of action of, available data with and FDA approval of entrectinib for patients with NSCLC with ROS1 alterations, and discern how this agent can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine clinical care.
    • Develop an optimal approach to the management of NSCLC in patients with ALK or ROS1 rearrangements and CNS metastases, considering the implications of symptomatology, number of lesions and other factors.
    • Recall ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel therapeutic approaches for NSCLC with ALK or ROS1 rearrangements, and refer appropriate patients for participation.
