Targeting EGFR Exon 20 Insertions in NSCLC: Current and Future Prospects
Program Overview
This activity begins by providing guidance on identifying EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and information on their therapeutic relevance. New and emerging therapeutic options are discussed, with an emphasis on the most recently presented and/or published clinical data. Learners will also receive privileged insights into the optimal management of potential adverse effects.
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, pathologists, pulmonologists, and other 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:
Analyze the predictive/prognostic significance of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Apply optimal diagnostic strategies for identifying NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertions
Assess clinical trial data regarding new and emerging treatment options for advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertions
Employ appropriate techniques to manage adverse events associated with EGFR inhibition
