The Spotlight on Lung Cancer enduring education series, based on sessions from CHEST 2024, is an on-demand, accredited activity for pulmonologists, thoracic oncologists, and other clinicians treating lung cancer. It includes four modules focused on key clinical topics: managing slow-growing subsolid lung nodules, using immunotherapy and molecular genotyping in treatment, incorporating biomarkers into risk assessment, and diagnosing and staging multifocal lung cancer. Each session includes practical case discussions, expert guidance, and assessments to support clinical application.

Course Objectives

Discuss the (limited) role of PET scan and advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy/transthoracic needle aspiration in the evaluation of subsolid lung nodules.
Understand the toxicities of immunotherapy and molecular-based medications and how to manage them.
Examine the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer classifications and definitions of the various subtypes of multifocal lung cancer, emphasizing their unique behaviors and contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the disease.

This activity is supported by an independent medical educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, and Pfizer, Inc.
