2022 Refresher - Lung

Major decreases in cancer mortality have been driven by improvements in the management of lung cancer. The explanation for these survival improvements is complex but largely driven by the increasing use of systemic therapies in early stage disease such as immunotherapy. Additionally, local ablative therapies in advanced stage disease are also improving outcomes. Translation of these practices into community based setting is important. This educational activity will help participants to better apply new treatment strategies so that patient outcomes can be enhanced. Additionally, it will provide insight into where current deficits in management remain and future studies to answer these questions.

 

Target Audience

The activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents, medical oncologists, physicists, radiation therapists and dosimetrists.

Learning Objectives

    Upon completion of this live activity, attendees should be able to do the following:

    • Explain the increasing use of immunotherapy with non-metastatic lung cancer.
    • Apply principles of when radiotherapy is appropriate (and when it is not) in advanced lung cancer.
    • Explore the evolving treatment options for locally advanced, resectable lung cancer.
