CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program 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).
    • Acknowledge the FDA approval of adjuvant EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy for localized NSCLC with EGFR mutations, and identify patients for whom treatment with this approach would be warranted.
    • Assess the efficacy and safety of available and emerging therapies for patients with metastatic NSCLC with EGFR mutations, and use this information to select first- and later-line treatment.
    • Recollect other oncogenic pathways, such as ALK, RET and HER2, mediating the pathogenesis of NSCLC for unique patient subsets, and recall published data with available agents exploiting these targets.
    • Consider recent therapeutic advances related to 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 exposure to prior systemic therapy, performance status and personal goals of treatment.
    • Consider available immunotherapy-based approaches for patients with small cell lung cancer, and design an optimal approach for the clinical care of these patients.
    • Reflect on investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for lung cancer, and as applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
