CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, pathologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of lung cancer and other solid tumors.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recognize the spectrum and prevalence of potentially targetable genomic alterations across various solid tumors and the means by which these contribute to tumor growth and proliferation.
    • Recall FDA-approved and/or guideline-endorsed platforms for biomarker testing in patients with advanced solid tumors.
    • Refine clinical testing algorithms in practice by weighing the advantages and limitations of available assays, including their capacity to accurately identify various genomic abnormalities.
    • Explore available data with established and investigational tumor driver mutations and biomarkers in various solid tumors, and use genomic analysis results to integrate.
