The panelists review their management of patients with lung cancer during the pandemic, including the impact of delayed procedures and telemedicine on patient outcomes.

Course Objectives

At the end of this webinar, the learners will be able to:

Enhance communication and interdisciplinary collaboration to overcome the clinical and logistical problems limiting next generation sequencing (NGS) testing in the community setting
Facilitate continuity of care for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are at higher risk of COVID-19 complications
Illustrate the application of telehealth and web-based platforms for evaluation and follow-up of patients with suspected or confirmed NSCLC during the pandemic
Diagnose and stage patients with lung cancer in a timely fashion during the pandemic to avoid upstaging/progression while ensuring staff safety
Describe the existing prioritization models for the clinic visits, imaging, diagnosis, and treatment of patients suffering from lung cancer during the pandemic
