EDU 25 - Multidisciplinary Lung Cancer Tumor Board: A Case-Based Discussion Spanning Bread-and-Butter through the Gray Zone
MODERATOR(S)
Neal McCall, MD - UPMC Cancer Center
session DESCRIPTION
The management of locally advanced lung cancer increasingly relies on multidisciplinary collaboration. Advances in neoadjuvant and perioperative chemoimmunotherapy have significantly improved outcomes for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. Therefore, timely evaluation of medical operability, surgical resectability and the integration of genomic and molecular biomarkers is essential to guide patients toward appropriate operative or non-operative pathways. This session will provide a brief review of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer through the perspectives of a thoracic surgeon, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist, culminating in rigorous case-based, multidisciplinary discussion.
learning objectives
- Identify patients with clearly resectable and clearly unresectable lung cancer.
- Recognize the importance of integrating next-generation sequencing and molecular data into management decisions.
- Appreciate best-practices in delivering definitive chemoradiation for patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer.
