Week 4: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Tracheal Cancer: Therapeutics
Today I will be posting the syllabus of Week 4 of the Thoracic Oncology Course [Link is to the complete course syllabus] from The University Of Michigan via Coursera.
As I review each week’s syllabus, I’ll post that week’s syllabus.
The learning objectives for Week 4 are:
Learning Objectives
- Identify definitive treatment of stage I and stage III NSCLC with external beam radiation therapy
- Identify palliative treatment of metastatic lung cancer with radiation therapy
- Identify SBRT for various body sites and for oligometastatic lung cancer
- Recognize the role of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgical resection for early-stage NSCLC
- Recognize the role of systemic chemotherapy and combined-modality therapy in locally advanced NSCLC
- Distinguish potential benefits and risks of systemic chemotherapy for stage IV NSCLC
- Recognize the role of antiangiogenic therapy and immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC
- Identify the appropriate molecular diagnostic testing for advanced NSCLC
- Recognize role of EGFR and ALK targeted therapy in advanced NSCLC
- Identify promising molecular targets in NSCLC
- Identify therapy response monitoring with FDG-PET
- Identify the possible use of FDG-PET in adaptive treatment plans
- Identify reasons for lung resection
- Identify different levels of lung resection for early stage lung cancer
- Identify palliative options for tracheal tumors
- Identify surgical options for malignant pleural effusions
