On Demand: New Horizons in Unresectable Stage III NSCLC: A Case-based Exploration of Evolving Data and the Emergence of Immunotherapy

Join our Expert Faculty, Drs. Joel W. Neal, MD, PhD and Victoria Sherry, DNP, CRNP, AOCNP as they discuss treatment principles across the continuum of care in unresectable, stage III NSCLC. During their presentations and discussion, they will examine the established treatment landscape for unresectable, stage III NSCLC as well as the emerging role of immunotherapy, and practical clinical considerations for anticipating, mitigating, and managing immune-related adverse events.

Target Audience

Academic and community medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, thoracic surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and oncology nurses.

Learning Objectives

  • Review the prevalence and pathophysiology of unresectable stage III non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and identify disease-specific clinical features relevant for chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and immuno-oncology (IO) decision making.
  • Examine the current landscape of approved therapeutics in unresectable stage III NSCLC, emphasizing how the historical paucity of effective treatment options and resultant deficits in real-world patient outcomes have galvanized the need for novel approaches.
  • Evaluate completed, ongoing, and planned clinical trial data for IO therapies in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, highlighting currently-approved IO regimens and emerging data across the treatment continuum.
  • Recognize the presentation and anticipated time-course of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and discuss evidence-based strategies for mitigation and management.
  • Design individualized, evidence-supported treatment plans for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, with a particular focus on IO therapies following concurrent or sequential CRT.
