Target Audience

This symposium is directed primarily to hematologists/oncologists, radiation oncologists, researchers, pharmacists, registered nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and fellows in training interested in new development in non-small cell lung cancer and head & neck cancer. No specific skill or knowledge other than a basic training in hematology/oncology is required for successful participation in this activity.

Statement of Need/Program Overview

This symposium is intended to improve care of patients with non-small cell lung cancer and head & neck cancer by accelerating adoption of new guidelines and evidence-based practice change. The format will include didactic lectures from known opinion leaders, question and answer sessions, and ample opportunity for participant interaction with faculty.

Learning Objectives

• Select NSCLC patients based on new molecular profiling for personalized chemotherapy
• Outline the clinical data on the use of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and EGFR-T790M–inhibitors in the treatment of NSCLC
• Identify strategies to overcome secondary or acquired resistance to EGFR-positive and EGFR-T790M–positive NSCLC
• Outline the clinical data on the optimal use of anti-PD-1 and PD-L1 antibodies in the treatment of NSCLC
• Outline the clinical data on the optimal use of anti-PD-1, PD-L1 antibodies and combination approaches in the treatment of NSCLC
• Outline the mechanisms of action of PD-1 and PD-L1 blockade in SCCHN with high mutational burden and implication of immune resistance in SCCHN
• Evaluate PD-1/PD-L1 interactions that contribute to better outcomes for patients with SCCHN
• Identify strategies in the treatment of NSCLC patients with ALK inhibitors
• Identify strategies to overcome secondary or acquired ALK TKI resistance in patients with NSCLC
