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

    • Assess the anticipated benefits, risks and long-term outcomes associated with the use of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy in the management of Stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and consider this information when counseling individuals regarding current therapeutic recommendations.
    • Recognize the prevalence of EGFR alterations found in patients with localized NSCLC, and refine diagnostic algorithms in your practice to ensure more accurate identification of individuals harboring these genetic abnormalities.
    • Appreciate recently presented Phase III findings supporting the efficacy of adjuvant osimertinib for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC after complete resection, and consider the potential effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
    • Evaluate the tolerability and toxicity of osimertinib for patients with early-stage NSCLC, and understand the benefit/risk ratio associated with long-term treatment with an EGFR inhibitor in the curative setting.
    • Recall ongoing clinical trials evaluating EGFR-directed therapies for patients with localized NSCLC, and counsel appropriate individuals about availability and participation.
