Learn About Lung Cancer and What the Primary Care Physician Needs To Know on webcast.  This webcast will discuss Lung Cancer: What the Primary Care Physician Needs To Know. This activity will review the epidemiology, staging, and initial treatment of lung cancer. In addition, the approach to the incidental pulmonary nodule will be discussed.

Primary care providers and hospitalists are on the front line and are usually the first ones to suspect lung cancer in patients. Because of this, it is incumbent on all physicians and advance practice providers who see adult patients to be able to recognize the earliest signs of lung cancer and to initiate the workup. Our presenter, Dr. Jim Allen, will be discussing a lot of the exciting driver-directed medications used in lung cancer today. The reality is that the medical oncologists are generally going to be the ones to make decisions about which particular drug is best for each individual patient. Instead, his presentation will focus on what the non-oncologist needs to know.

What you’ll learn in this webcast

As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to:

  • Improve how quickly patients with suspected lung cancer are directed toward appropriate treatment by educating physicians on the correct tests to employ for diagnosis and staging.
  • Improve primary care providers’ correct selection of either thoracic surgeons or medical oncologists for initial referral of lung cancer treatment.
  • Improve the percentage of patients with lung cancer diagnosed at early, curable stages by increasing utilization of lung cancer screening CT scans.
