CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Assess the anticipated benefits, risks and long-term outcomes associated with the use of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy in the management of Stage IB to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and consider this information when counseling patients regarding current therapeutic recommendations.
    • Evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, and appropriately identify patients who may benefit from adjuvant or neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibition.
    • Appreciate emerging Phase III findings with the use of an anti-PD-L1 antibody after the completion of chemotherapy and surgery for patients with resectable NSCLC, and consider the potential effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
    • Evaluate the clinical relevance of the various genomic abnormalities found in patients with localized NSCLC, and appreciate available and emerging data attempting to validate the efficacy of targeted therapy in these individuals.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for patients with localized NSCLC, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
