CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Formulate up-to-date disease-management strategies for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), considering the roles of local therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
    • Review the recent FDA approvals of atezolizumab and durvalumab, each in combination with etoposide and platinum-based chemotherapy, as first-line therapy for patients with extensive-stage SCLC, and consider how these regimens can be appropriately and safely integrated into clinical practice.
    • Consider the recent FDA approval of and available clinical trial findings with lurbinectedin for patients with SCLC who experience disease progression on or after platinum-containing therapy, and determine how to optimally integrate lurbinectedin into the clinical algorithm in this setting.
    • Assess ongoing clinical research evaluating novel agents and treatment strategies for metastatic SCLC.
