Program Overview
Overall care for patients with advanced NSCLC can be optimized when clinicians are up to date with the latest immunotherapies, understand how PD-L1 levels affect response to immunotherapy, and are able to select the optimal treatment for each patient. Coordination among multidisciplinary team members and communication with patients for clinical decision-making are critical for improving patient outcomes.
Join thoracic oncologists Dr. Julie Brahmer and Dr. Hossein Borghaei to review practice-changing data on the efficacy and safety of new and emerging treatment strategies with checkpoint inhibitors. The panel will also discuss recent therapy approvals, selection of patients based on PD-L1 and mutational status, minimizing immune-related adverse events, and improving patient quality of life.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Evaluate efficacy data from practice-changing clinical trials on immune checkpoint inhibitors for first-line treatment of NSCLC
- Outline adverse events associated with immunotherapies and approaches to mitigate these effects
- Discuss the effect of PD-L1 expression on outcomes in patients with NSCLC treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors
- Outline strategies to individualize treatment plans for patients with NSCLC through multidisciplinary care and shared decision-making
