Activity Overview
This online, on-demand virtual symposium brings together renowned experts in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this educational program, these experts use a combination of didactic presentations and case-based discussions to examine biomarker testing, then move through targeted therapy updates across key biomarker-driven subtypes, with a focus on adverse event recognition and management strategies relevant to the practicing nurse. Case conversations give the audience practical takeaways to support adherence to novel therapies, guide clinical trial conversations, and navigate the nuanced toxicity profiles of next-generation agents.
This educational activity is an archive of the live symposium held on August 20, 2026.
Target Audience
This educational activity is directed toward oncology nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, and other advanced practice providers who manage patients with NSCLC.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:
- Describe testing indications, key biomarkers, and the nursing role in comprehensive molecular testing for patients with NSCLC
- Apply best practices for adverse event prevention, monitoring, and intervention for patients with NSCLC receiving targeted therapy
- Implement strategies to explain biomarker testing, manage expectations with new therapies, and support shared decision-making for patients with NSCLC
