CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, nurses, radiation oncologists, general surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recognize the frequency with which patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progress on first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy and optimally select and sequence available therapeutic options to maximize quality and quantity of life.
    • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with available agents commonly used for the treatment of relapsed/refractory metastatic NSCLC, and implement strategies to manage and mitigate them.
    • Appreciate the biologic rationale for combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with agents targeting the VEGF axis in patients with NSCLC progressing on first-line immunotherapeutic based approaches, and assess published research findings with and ongoing studies evaluating this therapeutic strategy.
    • Appreciate the incidence of various potentially targetable cell surface proteins (eg, TROP2, CEACAM5) in patients with progressive, metastatic NSCLC, and recognize published clinical trial data with and ongoing studies of investigational antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) directed at these emerging targets.
    • Describe the scientific rationale for the use of tumor treating fields (TTFs) as a therapeutic approach for patients with NSCLC, and appraise the available and emerging efficacy and safety data with TTFs in combination with chemotherapy or immunotherapy for patients with recurrent metastatic disease.
    • Recall ongoing trials evaluating the potential role of novel therapeutic approaches for progressive metastatic NSCLC, and counsel appropriate individuals regarding enrollment.
