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 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 (TKI) therapy for localized NSCLC with EGFR mutations, and identify patients for whom treatment with this approach would be warranted.
    • Review published and emerging research data documenting the efficacy of EGFR TKIs as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy for metastatic NSCLC with EGFR tumor mutations, 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 ALK rearrangements, and use this information to select these drugs as first- and later-line therapy.
    • Recollect other oncogenic pathways, such as ROS1, RET, MET, HER2 and KRAS, mediating the pathogenesis of NSCLC for unique patient subsets, and recall published data with commercially available and experimental 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.
    • Design an optimal approach to the long-term clinical care of patients with small cell lung cancer, considering available clinical research findings and the implications of age, symptomatology and other clinical factors.
    • Reflect on investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for lung cancer, and as applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
