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

    • Evaluate available and emerging data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based approaches as neoadjuvant, adjuvant or consolidation therapy for patients with nonmetastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
    • Acknowledge the FDA approval of adjuvant EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy for early-stage NSCLC with an EGFR mutation, and identify patients for whom treatment with this approach would be warranted.
    • Review published data documenting the efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors for metastatic NSCLC with an EGFR tumor mutation, and apply this information in the care of appropriately selected patients.
    • Assess the efficacy and safety of commercially available ALK inhibitors for patients with metastatic NSCLC with an ALK rearrangement, and use this information in selecting first- and later-line therapy.
    • Consider recent therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with other systemic therapies for metastatic NSCLC, and discern how these approaches can be employed in the management of this disease.
    • Develop a long-term care plan for patients with progressive NSCLC, considering prior systemic therapy, performance status and personal goals of treatment.
    • Design an optimal approach to the long-term clinical care of patients with small cell lung cancer, considering available research and the implications of age, symptomatology and other factors.
    • Reflect on agents and strategies currently under investigation for lung cancer, and appropriately refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
