Molecular-Targeted Therapies in Lung Cancer: Practical Application of Clinical Trials Data

July 10, 2021

This accredited continuing education activity “Molecular-Targeted Therapies in Lung Cancer: Practical applications of clinical trials data”, is a half-day conference featuring leading experts in lung cancer who will provide a comprehensive overview of implications of actionable molecular alterations in lung cancer. The goal of this activity is to improve the knowledge and competence of learners to apply practice-changing clinical data and expert recommendations to optimize clinical outcomes for their patients with lung cancer. This program features in-depth discussions and analysis of the latest scientific findings and practice-changing advances (including the data presented at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting in June, 2021) in molecular testing and targeted-therapies for lung cancer. Expert faculty will utilize didactics, case-based presentations and related panel discussions, and aim to place molecular testing into clinical context and discuss how the results may effectively contribute to patient care. 

This educational activity will augment healthcare providers’ foundation of knowledge and clinical competence in several areas, including:

  • Role of different platforms, including next generation sequencing, in testing for actionable molecular alterations to identify targeted therapy options in lung cancer. 
  • Current and evolving paradigms in a biomarker driven precision oncology approach for management of lung cancer.
  • Trends, challenges, controversies, and limitations of precision oncology approaches and targeted therapies in management of lung cancer. 

Target Audience

  • Oncologists
  • Oncology Nurse Practitioners & Physician Assistants 
  • Oncology Pharmacists
  • Oncology Nurses
  • Residents/Fellow
  • Researchers

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Review the role, including advantages and disadvantages, of different testing methodologies available for detecting molecular alterations in lung cancer. 
  2. Interpret results of next generation sequencing and other biomarkers predictive of response to targeted therapies in lung cancer.
  3. Plan optimal molecular-targeted adjuvant and/or extended adjuvant strategies for patients with non-metastatic NSCLC.
  4. Integrate recent advances and available clinical data to optimally sequence molecular-targeted agents in the treatment of metastatic NSCLC. 
  5. Outline emerging research, the mechanism of action, and the role of novel molecular-targeted therapies in clinical investigation for patients with NSCLC .
