Description:
Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogeneous disease that is typically treated with multimodal therapeutic approaches, which may include systemic therapies, radiotherapy, and surgery. Individualizing treatment strategies for patients with stage III NSCLC requires accurate clinical and pathological staging. The treatment journey of patients with stage III NSCLC has evolved rapidly over the last few years with improved staging approaches and approval of consolidation immunotherapy following concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT).

Pretreatment multidisciplinary team discussion is crucial in defining the most optimal treatment approach for each patient. This activity will feature a multidisciplinary panel of three expert faculty discussing the current standard of care and the quickly moving science that is changing the treatment paradigm for patients with stage III unresectable NSCLC. The discussion will center around the treatment of a typical case and focus on optimal treatment selection, the challenges faced, and each faculty’s insight on their approach to treatment.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

• Implement guideline recommended diagnostic and staging methodologies and utilize pretreatment multidisciplinary teams to individualize treatment plans for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC
• Evaluate the efficacy and safety data of current and emerging therapeutic approaches for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC
• Apply effective monitoring and management strategies for unique adverse events associated with chemoradiotherapy and consolidation immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment
