Transforming the Care of Patients with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Optimizing Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

PCE On Demand Live Presentation

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are recommended for various patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Healthcare professionals (HCPs) must be familiar with current expert recommendations for use of ICIs as results of biomarker testing, and PD-L1 levels can influence choice of therapy. Once ICIs are used, HCPs need to be aware of the potential for immune-related adverse events (irAEs). In this video lecture, an expert discusses strategies for optimizing ICIs in advanced NSCLC including individualizing therapy decisions and managing adverse events
