Statement of Need
Despite several decades of extensive research, the median survival
for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and
small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is approximately 1 year. Patients with
early-stage NSCLC can sometimes be cured with surgical resection
and chemotherapy, but the majority of patients present with advanced
disease, which makes local therapy impossible. Faced with these grim
statistics, investigators are seeking novel applications of imaging
techniques as well as predictive and prognostic markers that will allow
for early and more efficient treatment. Their extensive research has led
to steady advancements in recent years, including the development of
novel targeted and chemotherapeutic agents, enhanced approaches to
standard treatments (such as novel radiation regimens and multimodali-
ty therapies), and improvements in the adjuvant setting. This conference
will focus on the increased ability to diagnose and effectively treat
patients with lung cancer and will include overviews on imaging,
radiotherapeutic, surgical, chemotherapeutic, and biologic strategies.
Novel therapies and techniques currently undergoing development
will be emphasized. Results of recent research efforts, as well as the
design and rationale of ongoing studies and the optimization of these
techniques for today's clinical practice, will be presented and discussed.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists;
thoracic surgeons; pulmonologists; nurses; pharmacists; advanced
practitioners; physician assistants; and other health care professionals
interested in the treatment of patients with lung cancer.
Educational Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, attendees should be
able to:
1. Assess the results of recent studies using radiologic imaging and
radiotherapy for the treatment of patients with NSCLC.
2. Describe the standard of care for patients with early-stage NSCLC,
and discuss recent studies incorporating adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant
chemotherapy into treatment regimens for patients eligible for surgery.
3. Assess the efficacy of novel targeted approaches for the treatment of
NSCLC based on the results of recent clinical trials.
4. Evaluate the safety and efficacy of recent trials investigating
therapeutic strategies for patients with relapsed or progressive
NSCLC.
5. Assess the results from recent studies aimed at identifying markers
and patient characteristics that are predictive of response to specific
therapeutic agents.
6. Describe the various surgical options for treating your patients with NSCLC.
7. Evaluate the results from recent clinical trials investigating the use of
novel agents or regimens for the treatment of patients with SCLC.
8. Compare and contrast the safety and efficacy of current therapeutic
approaches to managing patients with unresectable malignant
pleural mesothelioma.
Method of Participation
Lectures, visual aids, case presentations, audience response system,
and discussion will be utilized to engage attendees and enhance the
learning process. All attendees will receive a comprehensive CD-ROM of
the program presentations approximately 4 weeks after the conference.
