Go online to PeerView.com/GQW860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Patients with early-stage lung cancer frequently experience disease recurrence within 1 year of receiving curative-intent surgery, representing a significant unmet medical need. Individualized management of patients with NSCLC is based on a number of considerations, including the molecular profile of the patient’s tumor and the benefits and limitations of therapeutic options in the context of the latest evidence. Continued advances with targeted therapies have sparked substantial interest in expanding their use into earlier disease settings, and adjuvant EGFR-targeted therapy has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in early-stage NSCLC, leading to the first regulatory approval of osimertinib as adjuvant therapy after resection in patients with NSCLC whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. In addition, results from studies in the neoadjuvant setting are emerging now, as perioperative use of EGFR-targeted therapy continues to demonstrate improved outcomes. Thoracic surgeons are key members of the multidisciplinary care team, playing an essential role in collaborating and coordinating with other specialists to determine the best treatment plan, including incorporating EGFR-targeted therapy into multimodal management strategies. This PeerView educational activity, based on a recent live symposium, focuses on the latest clinical evidence supporting the use of EGFR-targeted therapy in perioperative settings and provides practical guidance for optimally integrating targeted therapies in practice or clinical trials. Multidisciplinary discussions on the latest practice-changing data highlight important implications of utilizing EGFR-targeted therapy as part of multimodal treatment for surgeons and the broader lung cancer care team. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss the role of EGFR mutations in NSCLC, advances in EGFR-targeted therapy in earlier disease settings, and the importance of identifying patients who might benefit from these therapies in perioperative settings; Identify patients with early-stage resectable NSCLC who are candidates for adjuvant EGFR-targeted therapy or investigational targeted approaches according to the latest evidence and guidelines; and Implement multidisciplinary and patient-centric strategies to integrate EGFR-targeted therapy into multimodal treatment plans for eligible patients with early-stage resectable NSCLC

Nathan A. Pennell, MD, PhD, FASCO - Fine-Tuning Biomarker Testing to Identify and Target RET Fusions as Uncommon But Actionable Genomic Alterations in NSCLC
Go online to PeerView.com/JBE860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Less common genomic alterations such as gene fusions represent actionable and important therapeutic targets in a substantial proportion of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although they are relatively rare, it is essential to conduct appropriate biomarker testing to identify these alterations because highly effective targeted therapies have become available that can significantly improve patient outcomes versus older targeted therapies or cytotoxic agents. RET fusion–positive NSCLC is one such example. Next-generation, more selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy and improved safety in patients with tumors exhibiting RET fusions. However, testing for these fusions and other less common alterations as well as interpreting reports of testing results can be challenging, which can lead to missed opportunities to offer the best possible therapy to patients who could benefit from them. This educational activity is designed to help professionals involved in the testing and treatment of patients with NSCLC develop their knowledge and skills to bridge the current gaps in the care of patients with lung cancer. Expert faculty provide practical guidance on how to select the correct biomarker testing approach and platform to identify gene fusions and other less common alterations in NSCLC, implement the testing in-house or externally, and decipher the results or interpret the information in send-out testing reports. The experts also share tips and case-based examples of effectively collaborating with multidisciplinary and interprofessional colleagues to identify suitable candidates for the latest targeted therapies matched to the results of biomarker testing and, consequently, positively impact the outcomes of these patients. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the role of gene fusions and other less common alterations in NSCLC, importance of appropriate biomarker testing to identify patients with these alterations, and clinical evidence supporting the use of matched targeted therapies to optimize patient outcomes; Implement team-based strategies to identify patients with NSCLC for biomarker testing, select appropriate tests to capture all actionable genomic alterations, and interpret testing results to guide treatment selection; Apply the latest evidence and guidelines to individualize targeted therapy for patients with lung cancers harboring uncommon gene fusions and other alterations; and Educate patients about the role of biomarker testing in lung cancer, risks and benefits of targeted therapies, and importance of selecting optimal therapy based on biomarker testing results and patient needs, values, and preferences.
