    Extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. The recent addition of immunotherapy to the treatment landscape has changed the standard of care for ES-SCLC. In this interactive activity an expert will guide you through the latest evidence on checkpoint inhibitors for the management of ES-SCLC and offer expert insight into effectively and safely incorporating immunotherapy into your practice to improve patient outcomes.

  • Target Audience

    The intended audience for this activity is oncologists, as well as PAs and NPs, who manage patients with small cell lung cancer.

  • Learning Objectives

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

    1. Describe the mechanism of action of immune checkpoint inhibitors in SCLC and how this impacts their efficacy in managing SCLC
    2. Utilize an evidence-based approach to managing SCLC with current and emerging immunotherapies
    3. Proactively manage potential side effects of immunotherapies
    4. Employ a strong patient-provider collaborative approach, including shared decision making, to actively educate and engage patients with SCLC in their care
