Target Audience

This program is intended for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals who treat and manage patients with NSCLC.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Explain the rationale for testing, expression patterns of HER3 physiologically and pathologically in the progression of EGFR-mutated NSCLC, and outline molecular testing strategies for the detection of HER3 in advanced NSCLC
  • Examine the current treatment paradigm in EGFR TKI–resistant NSCLC and the need for new approaches and targets to overcome resistance
  • Review current and emerging clinical data of novel treatment strategies for EGFR TKI–resistant NSCLC (including HER3-directed antibody–drug conjugates) and where these therapies could fit in treatment in the near future
