Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Evaluate the available clinical data on biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint inhibitor–based therapy in NSCLC, specifically their relevance in treatment selection in early and advanced disease settings
  • Select optimal first-line treatment for individual patients with advanced or metastatic RCC, taking into consideration targeted and immune checkpoint inhibitor combination options, available clinical evidence, expert recommendations, and patient preference

  • Identify patients most likely to benefit from immunotherapy for unresectable stage III NSCLC following chemoradiation therapy
  • Incorporate investigational checkpoint inhibitors and clinical trial participation as part of therapeutic strategies for patients with NSCLC
  • Address factors that can influence response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in individual patients with NSCLC
