Closing Gaps in Personalized NSCLC Care Through Implementation of High-Quality Precision Programs

October 16, 2026 – October 16, 2027

This activity is jointly provided by Global Education Group (Global) and GO2 for Lung Cancer.

This activity is supported by an independent medical educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Target Audience

The primary audience for this project is multidisciplinary healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and longitudinal care of patients with advanced mNSCLC, including those with HER2 (ERBB2)-mutations. This includes medical oncologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, oncology pharmacists, molecular pathologists, oncology nurses and navigators, and other team members integral to diagnosis, biomarker testing, treatment selection, and toxicity management, especially those practicing in community, under-resourced, and rural settings, where disparities in access to biomarker testing and targeted therapies remain most pronounced. 

Statement of Need/Program Overview

In this activity, faculty examine practical strategies for building patient-centered systems of care that ensure timely, equitable, and comprehensive biomarker testing for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a focus on HER2 (ERBB2)-mutant disease.

This activity explores best practices for integrating comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) into routine clinical workflows, reducing delays from biopsy to treatment, and implementing repeat biomarker testing at disease progression, recurrence, or the diagnosis of a new primary malignancy.

The faculty also discuss innovative approaches to extending expert care through multidisciplinary collaboration, Project ECHO, telehealth, and remote monitoring technologies to support patients receiving targeted and nontargeted therapies. Finally, participants will learn how to evaluate biomarker testing performance through meaningful data collection and quality dashboards that track key metrics, including time to biopsy, time to NGS results, and time to treatment, to drive continuous quality improvement and optimize patient outcomes.

By the end of this activity, learners will be equipped with practical, evidence-based strategies to strengthen precision oncology care pathways and improve access to timely, biomarker-guided treatment for patients with HER2 (ERBB2)-mutant NSCLC.

Educational Objectives

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  1. Describe the essential components of a patient-centered care model that ensures timely and consistent comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing for all eligible lung cancer patients.
  2. Discuss the streamlined care pathway that guarantees timely testing, result reporting for efficient time to targeted treatment, and repeat NGS testing at disease progression, recurrence, or new primary malignancy.
