This webinar, presented in collaboration with the Japan Lung Cancer Society (JLCS), the Taiwan Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (TASLC), and the International Association for the study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), examines the evolving treatment landscape for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations and a comparative discussion of thoracic oncology practice in Japan and Taiwan.

This webinar reflects our shared commitment to advancing thoracic oncology through international collaboration, knowledge exchange, and regional perspectives.

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of researchers and healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat patients with lung cancer including medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, advanced practice nurses and physician associates.
Upon completion of this activity, the participants should be able to:
  • Describe the biology and clinical significance of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Summarize current and emerging treatment strategies for NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, including amivantamab-based regimens and novel targeted therapies.
  • Discuss approaches to toxicity management and supportive care in the context of evolving treatment options for EGFR exon 20 insertions mutations.
  • Compare the thoracic oncology landscapes in Japan and Taiwan, including differences in healthcare systems, reimbursement models, and access to care.
  • Evaluate access to molecular testing and targeted therapies across regions and how these factors influence treatment decision-making.
