Recorded Presentations from the NCCN 2012 Congress Webinar Series: Lung Cancers™: Use of Radiation Therapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This archived educational webinar series is designed to provide an in-depth analysis of the evidence and clinical decision-making that led to the development of the NCCN Guidelines® for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Small Cell Lung Cancer. Participants will learn how to implement the NCCN Guidelines recommendations into their practice and gain a clear understanding of the most up-to-date treatment recommendations for these cancers. As research continues in these areas and new information emerges, it is critical that clinicians are kept up-to-date and informed. This series will communicate the NCCN Guidelines in a direct and interactive way to community oncologists and other clinical professionals.
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, pathologists, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with lung cancer.
Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe newer radiation therapy techniques for patients with NSCLC (e.g., SBRT, image-guided RT)
- Identify which patients would most benefit from radiotherapy in the management of NSCLC
