CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Acknowledge the FDA approval of adjuvant osimertinib for localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an EGFR mutation, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel approach would be warranted.
    • Counsel patients with metastatic NSCLC and an EGFR mutation regarding available therapeutic considerations, explaining the relevance of mutation type, symptomatology, sites and extent of metastases and other factors.
    • Understand the biology of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, and evaluate how recently approved agents should be employed in the care of patients with these abnormalities.
    • Communicate the efficacy and safety of approved and investigational ALK inhibitors to appropriate patients with NSCLC.
    • Convey the clinical relevance of a positive ROS1 mutation test result to appropriate patients with NSCLC, and appreciate available clinical research findings demonstrating efficacy with approved and investigational agents.
    • Assess available research evidence with approved RET inhibitors, and use this information to educate appropriate patients with newly diagnosed or progressive NSCLC.
    • Evaluate published clinical trial findings supporting the FDA approval of novel MET inhibitors for metastatic NSCLC harboring a mutation that leads to MET exon 14 skipping, and identify patients who might benefit from these compounds.
    • Recognize common side effects associated with the various targeted agents employed in the management of NSCLC, and implement supportive management strategies to minimize and ameliorate these toxicities.
    • Recall other oncogenic pathways (eg, KRAS G12C, HER2) mediating the growth of tumors in unique patient subsets, and consider published and emerging data with commercially available and investigational agents exploiting these targets.
