Nurses at the Forefront of the Continuing Success Story of Immunotherapy in NSCLC: Best Practices for Guiding and Supporting Patients Through Treatment and Survivorship is organized by PVI, PeerView Institute for Medical Education.
Activity Release Date: April 28, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: May 27, 2024.
Activity Description:
In this activity based on a live MasterClass and Nursing Practice Forum, leading experts present concise learning modules combined with workshop-style demonstrations and case-based discussions to provide a practical framework for oncology nurses to facilitate optimal clinical integration of immunotherapies in advanced/metastatic and early-stage NSCLC, offering strategies to educate patients about this therapeutic class, mitigate acute and chronic immune-related adverse events (irAEs), and support patients through treatment and survivorship to help them achieve the best possible quality of life and outcomes.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
• Describe the mechanisms of action, safety and efficacy, and current and emerging roles of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and combinations in advanced- and early-stage NSCLC
• Collaborate with the interprofessional team to safely and effectively integrate ICI-based regimens into individualized treatment plans for eligible patients with advanced- and early-stage NSCLC
• Implement best practices for diagnosing and managing irAEs in patients with NSCLC receiving treatment with ICIs and combinations
• Provide education, guidance, and support to patients with NSCLC and their caregivers about ICI-based treatment options, importance of being vigilant about irAEs, and how to overcome challenges and optimize outcomes during treatment and survivors.
