CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals 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 or adjuvant therapy for patients with nonmetastatic non-small cell lung cancer (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 appropriately integrate this strategy into routine clinical practice.
    • Review recent therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, chemobiologic therapy or anti-CTLA-4 antibodies for metastatic NSCLC, and discern how these approaches can be optimally employed in the management of this disease.
    • Develop a long-term care plan for patients with progressive NSCLC, considering exposure to prior systemic therapy, symptomatology, performance status and personal goals of treatment.
    • Appreciate available clinical trial findings informing the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
    • Design an optimal approach to the clinical care of patients with progressive SCLC, considering the implications of prior therapeutic exposure, symptomatology and other factors.
    • Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for lung cancer without actionable mutations, and consider the potential roles of these approaches and ongoing trial opportunities for eligible patients.
