CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This live activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology nurses, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied cancer professionals involved in the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  
  PURPOSE STATEMENT
  By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with lung cancer.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate the benefits, risks and long-term outcomes associated with current local and systemic treatment modalities in the management of resectable and unresectable locally advanced NSCLC, and consider this information when counseling patients about therapeutic recommendations.
  • Analyze the biologic basis for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for nonmetastatic NSCLC.
  • Appraise the FDA approval of anti-PD-L1 antibody consolidation therapy for patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not experienced disease progression after standard platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy, and discern how this strategy can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine clinical practice.
  • Recognize immune-related adverse events and other common side effects associated with consolidation anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy for patients with Stage III NSCLC, and offer supportive strategies to minimize and manage these toxicities.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for localized or locally advanced NSCLC, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
