Target Audience

This educational program is intended to reach oncologists and other healthcare professionals working in the field of cancer immunotherapy involved in the care of patients with lung cancer.

Learning Objectives

  • Select optimal immune checkpoint inhibitor–based therapy for appropriate patients with NSCLC in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings, considering PD-L1 expression and expert recommendations
  • Evaluate the impact of immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings on agent sequencing and treatment decisions for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC
  • Identify patients most likely to benefit from immunotherapy for unresectable stage III NSCLC following chemoradiation therapy
  • Incorporate investigational checkpoint inhibitors and clinical trial participation as part of therapeutic strategies for all eligible patients with NSCLC, considering known racial-related and age-related disparities in care
  • Address factors that can influence response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in individual patients with NSCLC
