This webinar will explore the expected benefits, toxicities and potential indications for the combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy. Both are often used in the care of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, typically with non-overlapping indications for use. Topics will include the preclinical and clinical evidence and rationale for combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
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 assistants.
Upon completion of this activity, the participants should be able to: 
  • Understand the preclinical rationale for synergy in combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
  • Understand the unresolved questions around sequencing, dose/fractionation, abscopal effects, and sites of irradiation in combination therapy.
  • Understand pertinent clinical trial evidence for the safety and efficacy of radiotherapy and immunotherapy combinations.
  • Update key ongoing trials of RT-IO combo in the curative, oligometastatic and metastatic setting.
