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 non-small cell lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Assess the anticipated benefits, risks and long-term outcomes associated with the use of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy for Stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and consider this information when counseling patients regarding current therapeutic recommendations.
    • Analyze the biologic basis for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for nonmetastatic NSCLC and evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy.
    • Appreciate available Phase III findings with the use of an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody following the completion of chemotherapy and surgery for resectable NSCLC, and consider the potential effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
    • Evaluate published clinical research data with EGFR-directed therapy as adjuvant treatment for localized EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and identify patients for whom this novel approach would be warranted.
    • Recognize adverse events and other common side effects associated with anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 antibodies for early-stage NSCLC, and understand the supportive strategies available to minimize and manage these toxicities.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational strategies for patients with localized NSCLC, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
