It is essential that all members of the NSCLC care team understand the necessary processes and are equipped to apply current research on genomic targets to testing for mutations/drivers in appropriate advanced NSCLC patients.
This tumor board will discuss how to select the most appropriate therapy for patients with lung cancer using a case-based format.
The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) address all aspects of management for NSCLC. These NCCN Guidelines Insights focus on recent updates to the NCCN Guidelines regarding targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and their respective biomarkers.

Many new options exist for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in addition to traditional platinum-based chemotherapy. Pharmacists should be aware of the new data and recommendations for immunotherapies and targeted therapies, and how they relate to improvements in clinical efficacy and quality of life. It is also important to be aware of the potential for unique and potentially severe adverse events that can occur with these therapies; therefore, pharmacists should educate patients about the possibility of adverse events and the need to report symptoms to their health care teams to avoid severe complications.

Cancer immunotherapy is a rapidly growing and dynamic field, particularly for diseases such as lung cancer where immune checkpoint inhibitors are an important component of treatment.
