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

    • Acknowledge available clinical trial findings with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors for localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR mutation, and identify patients for whom this novel approach would be warranted.
    • Explain the relevance of mutation type, symptomatology, sites and extent of metastases and other factors to patients with metastatic NSCLC with EGFR mutations who are considering therapeutic options.
    • Understand the biology of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, and evaluate how recently approved agents can be used in the care of patients with these abnormalities.
    • Communicate the efficacy and safety of approved and investigational ALK inhibitors to appropriate patients with NSCLC.
    • Recall the frequency of HER2 mutations in patients with NSCLC, and consider the current role of HER2-directed therapies.
    • Convey the clinical relevance of a positive KRAS G12C mutation test result to appropriate patients with NSCLC, and appreciate available clinical research findings with approved and investigational agents demonstrating efficacy in such individuals.
    • Assess available research with approved RET inhibitors, and use this information to effectively educate patients with newly diagnosed or progressive NSCLC.
    • Evaluate published clinical trial findings supporting the FDA approval of novel MET inhibitors for patients with metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have a mutation that leads to MET exon 14 skipping, and identify individuals who might benefit from treatment with these novel compounds.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with NSCLC and targetable tumor abnormalities, and provide information on availability and participation.
