Title
Enhancing Oncology Nursing Care in Advanced NSCLC: Bridging Gaps in Rural and Underserved Communities
Link
Description
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. Practical strategies for overcoming the unique barriers to lung cancer care in rural and underserved communities will also be discussed. This enduring activity is a recorded session from Oncology Nursing Conference that took place on March 8, 2025.
Target Audience
This activity is designed specifically for nurse practitioners, nurses, and other nursing professionals who provide cancer care to patients from rural and underserved communities.
