HER2-Mutant Non–small lung cancer (NSCLC): Closing the Gap Between Detection and Optimal Treatment is organized by i3 Health.
Dates Available:
February 9, 2026 - February 8, 2027
Statement of Need:
Non–small lung cancer (NSCLC) is a biologically diverse type of lung cancer driven by a wide array of molecular alterations. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) alterations occur in approximately 4% of patients with NSCLC and include gene mutations, gene amplifications, and protein overexpression. HER2-targeted therapies, including antibody-drug conjugates and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, have shown promising efficacy for patients with limited treatment options. Testing for HER2 alterations is crucial in order to identify patients who may benefit from targeted therapies, and interprofessional collaboration is critical to optimizing timely diagnosis and personalized management throughout the care continuum (Ismail et al, 2025). In this activity, Maria E. Arcila, MD, Attending Physician and Deputy Chief of the Molecular Diagnostics Service in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Helena A. Yu, MD, Attending Physician and Thoracic Medical Oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, will explore strategies for closing the gap between detection and optimal treatment in NSCLC with HER2 alterations.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
DISCLOSURE OF RELEVANT FINANCIAL INFORMATION WITH INELIGIBLE COMPANIES
i3 Health endorses the standards of the ACCME that require everyone in a position to control the content of a CME activity to disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies that are related to the content of the CME activity. CME activities must be balanced, independent of commercial bias, and promote improvements or quality in health care. All recommendations involving clinical medicine must be based on evidence accepted within the medical profession.
A conflict of interest is created when an individual has an opportunity to affect CME content about products or services of an ineligible company with which he/she has a financial relationship, which therefore may bias their opinions and teaching. This may include receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, stocks, or other financial benefits.
i3 Health will identify, review, and mitigate all relevant financial relationships that speakers, authors, or planners disclose prior to an educational activity being delivered to learners. Disclosure of a relationship is not intended to suggest or condone bias in any presentation but is made to provide participants with information that might be of potential importance to their evaluation of a presentation. i3 Health does not endorse any products or services.
Relevant financial relationships exist between the following individuals and ineligible companies:
The i3 Health planners, reviewers, and managers have nothing to disclose.
Maria E. Arcila, MD, discloses that she has served on an advisory board or panel for Biocartis and that she has served as a consultant for AstraZeneca and Biocartis.
Helena A. Yu, MD, discloses that she has served on an advisory board or panel for AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Cullinan, Daiichi Sankyo, Janssen, SystImmune, Taiho, and Takeda; and that she has received grants/research support from AstraZeneca, BeOne, Cullinan, Daiichi Sankyo, Janssen, Kumquat, Pfizer, SystImmune, and Taiho.
Linda Ahn, NP, has no relevant financial relationships to disclose.
Katherine D. Gray, MD, has no relevant financial relationships to disclose.
Or Kalchiem-Dekel, MD, has no relevant financial relationships to disclose.
i3 Health has mitigated all relevant financial relationships.
