Topics to Be Discussed

  • Significance of Biomarker Testing in Localized Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Historical Management Paradigm for ALK-Positive Disease
  • Emerging Role and Practical Application of ALK-Targeted Therapy in Localized NSCLC

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Convey the clinical relevance of a positive ALK testing result to patients with localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and establish an algorithm to most effectively identify disease harboring these abnormalities.
  • Assess the anticipated benefits, risks and long-term outcomes associated with available neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapeutic strategies for localized NSCLC with ALK alterations, and consider this information when counseling patients regarding current treatment recommendations.
  • Evaluate published clinical research data with ALK-directed therapy as adjuvant treatment for localized ALK-positive NSCLC, and identify patients for whom this approach may be warranted.
  • Recognize adverse events and other common side effects associated with ALK-directed therapy for patients with localized NSCLC, and understand the supportive strategies available to minimize and/or manage these toxicities.

CME and ABIM MOC credit links will be emailed to each participant within 3 business days of the activity.
