Physicians’ Education Resource® (PER®), a worldwide leader in continuing medical education (CME), will conduct the live CME-accredited activity, Molecular Tumor Board in EGFR Mutation–Positive Lung Cancers: Integrating Clinical Data Into Patient Care, as a satellite symposium adjunct to the AACR Annual Meeting 2019. The symposium will take place on Monday, April 1, from 7-9 p.m. at the Atlanta Hyatt Regency in Georgia and will be chaired by David R. Gandara, M.D., professor of medicine in the division of hematology/oncology director of the thoracic oncology program, senior advisor to the director at the University of California Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center.

“Diagnosis, treatment and management of EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) continues to evolve as new evidence develops,” said Phil Talamo, president of PER®. “This activity will explore these recent advances and provide oncologists with expert advice on optimal treatment paradigms for patients with NSCLC and EGFR mutations by using an exciting case-based format.”

This cutting-edge symposium will consist of a panel of world-class experts in lung cancer will review recent practice-changing data and state-of-the-art approaches for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC, with an emphasis on examining the evidence and trial data and how to interpret and apply those data in their practice. Oncologists who attend this symposium will gain insights into the use of liquid-based and tissue-based testing methods to choose the best therapy for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC, learn about the latest clinical data on first-line treatment of patients with NSCLC and EGFR mutations, and approaches and strategies to manage treatments-related toxicities in patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC.
