Integration of Immunotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: Current and Future Perspectives

We discuss the current efforts to incorporate immunotherapeutic agents with radiation therapy in the treatment of locally advanced NSCLC and the benefit of anti-tumor immune response in NSCLC along with chemo-radiation therapy. The audience should be able to understand the ongoing strategies to optimally integrate particle beam, immune modulation, and targeted agents in locally advanced disease along with the role of personalized therapy in locally advanced disease, how do we match treatment to patient?.

Target Audience

This course is designed to meet the interest of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation biologists and specialists.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the strategies used to incorporate immunotherapeutic medications with radiation therapy in patients with LA- NSCLC.
  • Describe how Investigators are attempting to incorporate immune checkpoint inhibitors with radiation therapy in patients with NSCLC.
