Continuing Education
Right Test, Right Treatment, Right Time: Navigating Lung Cancer Diagnostics, Decisions, and Supportive Care
Best Suited For: Pharmacist, Nurse, Pharmacy Technician, Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant
CE Credits: 1 hours
Activity Description
This activity is designed to improve interdisciplinary competence in delivering timely, evidence-based lung cancer care by addressing persistent gaps in staging accuracy, comprehensive biomarker testing, and navigation across the diagnostic–treatment continuum. Participants will learn how to interpret and apply essential diagnostic tests, integrate staging and biomarker results into treatment planning, and implement workflow strategies that reduce delays in care. The program will also equip learners with current guidelines for supportive care and toxicity management across chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy regimens. Through a multidisciplinary panel discussion and case-based learning, pharmacists, technicians, nurses, physicians, and advanced practice providers will gain practical skills to ensure patients receive the right test, right treatment, at the right time.
CE Credit: 1 hour
Fee: This activity does not require payment to register.
