Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, the participants should be able to:

  • Advance Multidisciplinary Care in Lung Cancer: Make use of evidence-based strategies across surgery, radiation, medical oncology, pathology, radiology, nursing, and supportive care to optimize outcomes for patients with lung cancer.
  • Evaluate Innovations in Screening, Early Detection, and Risk Reduction: Assess advances in lung cancer screening programs, novel imaging, and the role of prevention strategies—including tobacco control and occupational risk mitigation—to reduce disease burden.
  • Implement Personalized Treatment Approaches: Apply current evidence on molecular testing, biomarker-driven therapies, and targeted treatments—including ADCs, TKIs, and immunotherapies—to tailor interventions for diverse patient populations.
  • Explore the Evolving Landscape of Immunotherapy: Critically evaluate emerging data on immune checkpoint inhibitors, combination strategies, bispecifics, and their management in special populations such as patients with autoimmune diseases, transplants, or brain metastases.
  • Enhance Management of Early and Locally Advanced Disease: Discuss best practices and evolving approaches for resectable and unresectable NSCLC, including neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and perioperative strategies, as well as advanced radiotherapy and ablative techniques.
  • Address Challenges in SCLC, NENs, and Rare Thoracic Tumors: Examine new diagnostic, molecular, and therapeutic developments in small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, mesothelioma, and thymic malignancies to improve patient care.
  • Integrate Novel Diagnostic and Monitoring Tools: Evaluate the utility of advanced imaging, multiomic analyses, liquid biopsies (including ctDNA and methylation), and digital pathology in staging, treatment response, and surveillance.
  • Improve Care Delivery in Resource-Limited and Diverse Settings: Identify barriers and implement solutions for equitable access to molecular testing, precision oncology, and advanced therapies in low- and middle-income countries and underserved populations.
  • Promote Shared Decision-Making and Patient-Centered Care: Model approaches to communication, survivorship planning, and addressing quality of life, emphasizing patient preferences, advocacy, and integrative care.
  • Foster Interactive Learning and Collaborative Problem-Solving: Apply new knowledge to complex clinical scenarios and enhance decision-making in lung cancer care by engaging in case-based discussions, polling, and multidisciplinary debates.
