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 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).
    • Review published research data documenting the efficacy of EGFR-directed treatment for localized, locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC with an EGFR tumor mutation, and apply this information in the care of appropriately selected patients.
    • Recollect other oncogenic pathways (ie, ALK, ROS1, HER2, KRAS) mediating the pathogene¬sis of NSCLC in unique patient subsets, and recall published data with commercially available and experimental agents exploiting these targets.
    • Consider recent therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as mono¬therapy 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 progressive NSCLC, considering exposure to prior systemic therapy, performance status and patients’ personal goals of treatment.
    • Design an optimal approach to the long-term clinical care for small cell lung cancer, considering available clinical research findings and the implications of patient age, symptomatology, disease stage and other relevant clinical factors.
    • Reflect on investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for lung cancer, and, where applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
