CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This program is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, 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 documenting the efficacy of EGFR-directed treatment in localized, locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC with an EGFR mutation, and apply this information in the care of appropriately selected patients.
  • Communicate the efficacy and safety of approved and investigational ALK inhibitors to appropriately selected patients with localized and metastatic NSCLC.
  • Recollect other oncogenic pathways, such as ROS1, RET, MET, HER2, KRAS and NTRK, mediating the pathogenesis 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 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 research findings and the implications of age, symptomatology, disease stage and other factors.
  • Reflect on investigational agents and strategies in testing for patients with lung cancer, and as applicable, refer eligible candidates for clinical trial participation.
