From Testing to Treatment: Empowering Pharmacists to Overcome Barriers and Optimize Biomarker-Driven Care

This webinar is part 2 in a 3-part curriculum.

Program Description

Using the results from biomarker testing to guide treatment selection is a critical step in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. For oncology pharmacists, understanding how to interpret these results ensures that patients receive the most appropriate, safe, and effective biomarker-directed therapies. Building on the foundation established in the first webinar in this series, "Precision Matters: Foundations of Biomarker-Driven Care in NSCLC," this second webinar will offer oncology pharmacists additional guidance on how to navigate the complexities of biomarker testing and its application in clinical practice. The activity will cover testing pearls, including the logistical challenges of sending samples for testing and the clinical significance of accurately interpreting test results. Real-world implications of precision medicine testing in NSCLC will be discussed, with a focus on addressing common barriers to precision medicine implementation in oncology settings to offer pharmacists potential solutions to overcome these hurdles. By the end of this webinar, oncology pharmacists will be better equipped to advocate for appropriate biomarker testing, interpret complex results, and take on an expanded role in delivering targeted therapies to patients with NSCLC.
