Description:
Community Practice Connections: Working Group for Changing Standards in EGFR-Mutated Lung Cancers: Real-World Applications of the Evidence for Nurses consists of a summary of clinical data on changing standards of care for patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer, as well as a series of interactive clinical vignettes and short video interviews with leading healthcare experts in lung cancer. The video interviews address decision points in the clinical vignettes, as well as questions commonly faced in the community oncology practice setting.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better prepared to:
• Explain optimal testing platforms to utilize that can inform clinical decision making in newly diagnosed and relapsed patients with advanced NSCLC
• Apply clinical trial evidence to optimize the initial treatment of advanced EGFR mutation?positive NSCLC
• Determine key resistance mutations and strategies to address relapsed disease, and to optimally sequence approaches beyond disease progression in advanced NSCLC
• Describe practical methods to proactively identify and mitigate the impact of treatment-related toxicities in the management of patients with advanced NSCLC
