WORKSHOP PART 23 OVERVIEW

WHEN | WHERE:
Saturday, August 6, 2022 | 11:00 am - 12:30 pm


EVENT DETAILS:
Participants will learn about how physicians utilize biomarker testing to optimize treatment decisions that are improving lung cancer survival through precision medicine. Precision medicine is a model that allows physicians to personalize treatment decisions for each person diagnosed with lung cancer. The personalized approach involves your primary care physician, surgeon, and oncologist working together to identify the best treatment that will more effectively target your specific type of lung cancer. Healthcare professionals will discuss how to improve access to biomarker testing and precision medicine in communities of color.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1.  To define the role of biomarker testing in transforming lung cancer to a treatable disease
2.  To translate how advances in immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and lung cancer treatment are improving lung cancer survival and quality of life
3.  To discuss why health equities, exist in cancer treatment
4.  To evaluate how policy leaders can improve access and equity to comprehensive biomarker testing
5.  To demonstrate how to obtain resources and support from non-profits and survivor advocacy groups
