Target Audience

This program is intended for medical oncologists, pathologists, endocrinologists, surgeons, interventional radiologists, and other healthcare professionals who care for patients with lung or thyroid cancer.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Order appropriate assays or molecular tests to detect oncogenic gene fusions in patients with NSCLC and thyroid cancer
  • Appraise emerging clinical data supporting the use of TRK inhibition in NTRK fusion–positive NSCLC and thyroid cancer and RET inhibition in RET-altered lung and thyroid cancer
  • Refer eligible patients with NTRK fusion–positive and RET-altered NSCLC and thyroid cancer for ongoing clinical trials
