Locally Advanced NSCLC: Finally Progress

Overview

This live session of the IASLC Lung Cancer Grand Rounds webinar series features Dr. Nasser Hanna. Dr. Hanna will address treatment of patients with unresectable or inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For the past two decades, standard treatment has consisted of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.  No strategies - including utilizing newer chemotherapy agents - escalating radiation dosages, incorporating induction or consolidation chemotherapy, anti-angiogenics or EGFR targeted agents, has improved outcomes over concurrent chemoradiation therapy alone. The incorporation of checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of patients with stage III NSCLC offers the best hope for significant progress over the last two decades.

Goal & Purpose:

  • Identify and discuss recent data and current clinical research evaluating new approaches to stage III inoperable or unresectable NSCLC
  • Assess those clinical research findings that are most relevant to treating clinicians
  • Appraise the utility of immunotherapy in the management of stage III NSCLC and its potential role in current treatment algorithms
