Jamie E. Chaft, MD - Marking New Milestones With Immunotherapy in Locally Advanced and Early Lung Cancer: Latest Data Informing Best Practices for Multimodal Management of Stage I-III NSCLC

Go online to PeerView.com/CBB860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. The immunotherapy revolution in lung cancer continues, as clinical practice and research build on achievements made in advanced NSCLC and aim to extend the benefits of immunotherapies to earlier stages. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is routinely used as consolidation following chemoradiation for patients with stage III unresectable NSCLC. Now, ICIs and rational combinations are starting to show promising activity as neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies for patients with resectable stage I-III NSCLC as well. Optimal approaches are still being determined, and many questions and controversies remain, but it is essential for oncologists, thoracic surgeons, and other multidisciplinary specialists to work together to make these therapies available to patients with earlier stages of lung cancer. This PeerView educational activity, based on a recent web broadcast, provides essential updates on the evolving science supporting the use of ICIs in multimodal treatment of unresectable and resectable stage I-III NSCLC. Multidisciplinary perspectives on how to make the most of immunotherapies and rational combinations in curative-intent settings are shared as well. Upon completion of this accredited CE activity, participants should be better able to: Characterize the rationale for using immunotherapy as a component of multimodal therapy in locally advanced or earlier stages of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Review key clinical trials and available efficacy/safety data on immunotherapies and immune-based combinations in locally advanced and earlier stages of NSCLC, Determine the best assessment and treatment approaches for diverse populations of patients with stage I-III NSCLC as part of clinical practice or clinical trials based on the latest evidence and recommendations, effective multidisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration and care coordination, and patient needs, values, and preferences.

Stephen V. Liu, MD - Tracking All the Targets in Genomically Altered NSCLC: Everything You Need to Know About Biomarker Testing and Treatment

Go online to PeerView.com/EYW860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Comprehensive biomarker profiling of complex and heterogeneous tumors such as non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is crucial for determining the best therapeutic approach for each patient. In metastatic NSCLC, the number of molecular alterations that have FDA-approved matched therapies has been rapidly growing. The first targeted therapy has received regulatory approval in the adjuvant setting of early-stage disease, and there are many more emerging targets against which novel therapies have shown great promise in clinical trials. Patients with lung cancer who have targetable genomic alterations can derive remarkable benefit from these therapies, and thus, broad biomarker testing is essential to identify these patients, as is making the best rational therapies available to them. Many barriers to biomarker testing and appropriate biomarker-driven treatment exist, and there are also significant disparities in lung cancer clinical care and research, but effective steps can be taken to overcome them. An essential component of modern lung cancer management is patient education, which allows patients to become well-informed participants in their care and participate in shared decision-making with their multidisciplinary clinical teams. This PeerView educational activity, based on a recent web broadcast and developed in collaboration with the LUNGevity Foundation, brings together leading experts in lung cancer, patients, and advocates who engage in candid conversations and clinical consultations focused on how to navigate the increasing complexity of biomarker testing and targeted therapy in lung cancer, and provide the best possible care to all patients. Upon completion of this accredited CE activity, participants should be better able to: Describe established, new, and emerging genomic alterations with potential for therapeutic targeting in NSCLC, Discuss the increasing importance of broad biomarker testing for clinical decision-making and the latest methods for identifying genomic alterations in NSCLC, Compare the mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety of precision therapies targeting established, new, and emerging molecular alterations in NSCLC, Implement best practices, collaborative strategies, and shared decision-making to ensure widespread biomarker testing, precision treatment, and equitable care of diverse populations of patients with NSCLC in the context of clinical practice or clinical trials.
