CME: REThink Treatment of NSCLC: Optimizing Care Through Early Genomic Testing and Targeted Treatment Medical Education on ReachMD

Overview
This program discusses rapidly evolving advances regarding early genomic profiling for NSCLC patients including detection of RET fusion/alterations and efficacy/safety of approved selective RET-targeted therapies for RET-positive NSCLC. Learners will be better prepared to integrate these options into individualized treatment plans in their clinical practice and address associated adverse events (AEs).
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the interprofessional team, including medical oncologists, thoracic oncologists, pathologists, pulmonologists, clinical pharmacists, oncology nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients with lung cancer.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Employ genomic testing for all NSCLC patients to identify those with actionable alterations who may benefit from a selective RET inhibitor
- Assess new and emerging outcomes data, evidence, and updated guidelines for targeted therapies to inform frontline treatment strategies for RET-positive NSCLC
- Prepare management strategies for any associated AEs in patients with RET-positive NSCLC
