This webinar is a recorded presentation of a live broadcast and includes the presentation, handout, and the audience QA.
Description:
The advent of targeted therapies based on predictive biomarkers has dramatically altered the role of the molecular pathologist in lung cancer patient care. This webinar reviews the new recommendations published in the revised 2018 CAP/IASLC/AMP lung cancer predictive biomarker guidelines (Lindeman et al., J Mol Diagn, 2018). This webinar, reviewing the evidence and logic behind the new recommendations, is designed for molecular pathologists, pathologists, oncologists, clinicians, trainees, and multidisciplinary tumor boards to help improve NSCLC patient care. Topics to be covered include recommendations regarding new predictive biomarkers; recommendations for testing for EGFR and ALK TKI resistance; and recommendations regarding new testing methodologies including the use of multiplexed genetic sequencing panels (e.g., NGS testing) to identify other treatment options beyond EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 as well as cell-free circulating DNA testing for EGFR resistance mutations. The revised 2018 CAP/IASLC/AMP lung cancer predictive biomarker guidelines will impact the daily practice of molecular pathologists and clinicians in the care of nearly 150,000 eligible lung cancer patients each year, regardless of whether in a community practice, a large reference lab, or an academic setting, and regardless of their level of expertise or experience.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the new recommendations for lung cancer biomarker testing, their impact on patient care, and appropriate methods of testing (pre-analytic, analytic and post analytic actions).
- Evaluate how the evidence published since the original 2013 guideline have been impacted by new observations and evidence since the first guideline.
- Explain how molecular pathologists would utilize the recommendations in clinical practice using a case-based learning approach.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint providership of American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP). The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The ASCP designates this enduring material for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
This continuing medical laboratory education activity is recognized by the American Society for Clinical Pathology for 1.0 hours of CMLE credit. ASCP CMLE credit hours are acceptable for the ASCP Board of Certification (BOC) Certification Maintenance Program (CMP). CMLE credit hours meet the continuing education requirements for the ASCP Board of Certification Credential Maintenance Program (CMP) and state relicensure requirements for laboratory personnel. Participants should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
To earn SAM credit, all learners must watch the webinar, achieve a minimum score of 80% on the online quiz, and complete an online survey.
This course is approved by the American Board of Pathology for 1.0 SAM credits.Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Participants must successfully complete the online modular exams (answering at least 80% of the questions in a topic module correctly).
* You may not submit SAMs and CME/CMLE credit for the same content.This webinar is part 1 of a five-part series aimed at breaking down barriers to NSCLC testing and treatment.Supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca
