Optimizing Treatment in Patients with ROS1 Rearranged NSCLC

To participate in this activity, please:

Greater understanding and implementation of molecular biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have led to improved patient outcomes. However, optimizing therapeutic strategies for patients with a molecular alteration continues to be challenging for the multidisciplinary team. Among these alterations, ROS1 rearrangements are rare, but have important clinical implications. Jonathan Dowell, MD, explores the significance of molecular alterations and ROS1 rearrangements in NSCLC. He also delves into the nuances and considerations of different targeted treatment options, patient characteristics, safety profiles of targeted therapies, and sequencing considerations to personalize treatment.

The didactic portion of this activity is also available as a podcast.  You may listen here.
