Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent subtype of lung cancer and carries a poor prognosis in its most advanced or metastatic stages, with a 5-year relative survival rate of just 9%. In the United States, rural counties are disproportionately affected, facing higher cancer-related mortality and worse treatment outcomes. These disparities are driven by challenges such as limited access to healthcare, under-recruitment in clinical trials, and shortages in the oncology workforce. These factors underscore the essential role oncology nurses play in delivering high-quality lung cancer care. This online, on-demand CE activity explores current and emerging therapies for advanced NSCLC, best practices for managing treatment-related adverse events, and approaches for enhancing communication and patient education.
