TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer.

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Lung cancer is a devastating disease with broad-reaching impact on public health as it accounts for 14% of all new cancer cases in the United States and the most cancer-related deaths among both men and women. Of importance, despite the many advances over the past few decades related to surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, death rates attributable to lung cancer have remained relatively unchanged. 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. Over the past several years major clinical trials in lung cancer have witnessed a host of promising successes, many of which are already being operationalized in clinical practice. Even so, these achievements will doubtlessly continue to be dissected in the upcoming years and will further challenge the collective understanding of the biology and optimal management of this disease.

These video proceedings from a CME symposium held during the IASLC 2019 North America Conference on Lung Cancer feature presentations and perspectives from leading lung cancer investigators as well as discussion of a case-based survey designed to document lung cancer investigators’ usual approaches to a variety of relevant clinical scenarios. This activity will help medical oncologists and other allied healthcare professionals find answers to the individualized questions and concerns that they frequently encounter and in turn provide high-quality cancer care.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Evaluate existing guideline recommendations regarding the optimal testing platforms and indications for their use in patients with metastatic NSCLC, and use this information to implement a comprehensive approach to biomarker assessment.
• Review recent therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or chemobiologic therapy for newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC, and discern how these approaches can be optimally employed in the care of patients.
• Consider emerging research data and recent FDA authorizations informing the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with other systemic therapies for patients with newly diagnosed or progressive small cell lung cancer.
• Review published research data documenting the safety and efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with metastatic NSCLC and an EGFR tumor mutation, and discern how this information should be applied outside of a research setting.
• Appraise available safety and efficacy data with approved targeted therapies for patients with metastatic NSCLC and an ALK rearrangement, and consider how these agents can be optimally incorporated into current clinical management algorithms.
• Communicate the clinical relevance of a positive ROS1 mutation test result to appropriate patients with NSCLC, and appreciate available research findings with approved and investigational agents demonstrating efficacy.
• Assess other oncogenic pathways (ie, BRAF, MET, NTRK, RET) mediating the growth of tumors in unique subsets of lung cancer, and recall emerging data with commercially available and experimental agents exploiting these targets.
