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 (NSCLC).

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Lung cancer is a devastating disease with broad-reaching impact on public health, accounting for 14% of all new cancer cases in the United States and the most cancer-related deaths among both men and women. In the year 2018, it is estimated that approximately 234,030 individuals will be diagnosed and more than 154,000 will die from the disease. Today, however, many have renewed optimism that these trends have already started to change as recent research advances have led to an explosion in lung cancer genetic and biologic knowledge among scientists and clinicians working in this area of cancer medicine. Consequently, NSCLC currently represents one of the most rapidly evolving fields in oncology, as evidenced by a multitude of recent FDA approvals and the emergence of many pivotal data sets and novel agents potentially poised to disrupt traditional management algorithms.

Although medical oncologists have been routinely responsible for counseling patients with regard to therapeutic decision-making, oncology nurses play an integral role in the successful delivery of systemic anticancer therapy and the preservation of patient physical and psychosocial well-being. These video proceedings from the fourth part of a 6-part integrated CNE curriculum originally held at the 2018 ONS Annual Congress feature discussions with leading lung cancer investigators and their nursing counterparts regarding actual patient cases and recent clinical research findings affecting the optimal therapeutic and supportive care for each patient scenario.

PURPOSE STATEMENT
By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this CNE 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 NSCLC.
