Challenges and Opportunities with Checkpoint Inhibition for First-Line Management of Advanced NSCLC
Program Overview
Immunotherapy has radically transformed the landscape of frontline treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without actionable mutations. Join us for this live event to hear our expert panel offer privileged insights into evidence-based guidelines for biomarker testing, the latest data pertaining to therapeutic options for NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression, and strategies to address immune-related adverse events. A patient with history of advanced NSCLC will be on the panel to augment these insights with “teaching moments” from his treatment journey.
This activity is intended for medical oncology, pathology, and pulmonology clinicians who are involved in the management of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
Employ evidence-based biomarker testing for patients with NSCLC
Select first-line checkpoint inhibitor therapy for patients with NSCLC based on scientific evidence and therapeutic indications
Apply evidence-based strategies for the management of immunotherapy-related adverse events in patients with NSCLC
