Significant improvements have occurred in the management of lung cancer over the past decade. One of the most widely studied approaches to the field of cancer, particularly lung cancer, is treatment strategies incorporating new agents and novel combinations. This is based on an extensive search of the literature in the public domain. Despite these advances, long-term survival benefit has remained elusive. With novel pharmacological agents and treatment strategies, the decision-making process for oncology healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of lung cancer is challenging, thereby requiring in-depth knowledge of current clinical and experimental data for the appropriate integration of new therapeutics into clinical practice. Because of this, healthcare professionals caring for patients with lung cancer need to understand the basis for treatment approaches likely to change clinical practice in the next few years, as well as the preclinical and clinical data supporting the development and integration of these therapies into practice. As such, this program has been developed to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the treatment of lung cancer. The didactic presentation will be combined with discussions on controversial topics in lung cancer management, thus allowing for an interactive exchange of critical clinical information.
