In a time of rapid advances and ever expanding treatment options, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up to date with all the evidence-based recommendations, trial data, and emerging therapies.
This tool has been designed to help navigate the different treatment lines of non-driver NSCLC, enhanced by leading expert opinion, learning resources, and relevant data summaries.
This activity is supported by an education grant from Eli Lilly and Company.
Expert videos and a scientific summary titled: Simplifying the sequencing of treatment in NSCLC patients with no actionable mutations are also available here.
