2017 NCCN Case Manager and Medical Director Program: Updates in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Lung Cancer
Join Gregory A. Otterson, MD, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute as he presents Updates in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Lung Cancer as part of the NCCN 2017 Oncology Case Manager and Medical Director Program Webinar Series.
Many therapeutic options exist for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the different options can seem overwhelming for patients who need educating about the options before making decisions. The NCCN Guidelines for Patients® are a valuable resource for educating patients about lung cancer. Case managers and other healthcare professionals involved in care planning and coordination need to be knowledgeable about all the treatment options and biomarker testing recommendations for patients with NSCLC and need to be aware that recommendations are rapidly changing so they can discuss the risks, benefits, and appropriateness with each patient. Healthcare professionals also need to be aware of new NCCN tools for quickly and accurately educating patients about the different therapeutic options based on efficacy, safety, quality and consistency of the evidence, and affordability (see the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology® with NCCN Evidence Blocks™ for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer). Informed shared decision making can enable patients to receive high-quality and cost-effective care that maximizes their survival while taking into account their values and preferences.
Target Audience
This program is designed to meet the educational needs of case managers, nurses in other roles (i.e., quality management and utilization review), medical directors at managed care organizations, reinsurers, TPAs, and case management and disease management companies who interact with, counsel, and refer patients with cancer to appropriate sources of care and/or make coverage decisions. Programs may also be of interest to nurses, nurse navigators/care coordinators, and physicians who work directly with patients in clinical settings as well as clinical pharmacists in managed care organizations and other settings.
Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:
- Educate patients by providing a broad overview of lung cancer.
- Discuss appropriate biomarker tests for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- Describe the different types of immunotherapy and targeted therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC.

The ACCME/ANCC/ACPE defines “conflict of interest” as when an individual has an opportunity to affect CE content about products or services of a commercial interest with which he/she has a financial relationship.
ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC focuses on financial relationships with commercial interests in the 12-month period preceding the time that the individual is being asked to assume a role controlling content of the CE activity. ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC have not set a minimal dollar amount for relationships to be significant. Inherent in any amount is the incentive to maintain or increase the value of the relationship. The ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC defines “relevant’ financial relationships” as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest.
All faculty for this continuing education activity are competent in the subject matter and qualified by experience, training, and/or preparation to the tasks and methods of delivery.
