Activity Description

This is a featured CE activity on the Center for Specialty Pharmacy Education (CSPE) website. CSPE is the educational hub of the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP). Most CSPE activities include the pathophysiology and clinical therapeutics of various disease states in which specialty pharmacy products and services are provided. CSPE also covers legal, regulatory and operational topics relevant to specialty pharmacy practice.
Lung cancer is the second most common malignancy in the US, but the most common cause of cancer-related deaths. The management of SCLC and NSCLC is complex and staying up-to-date on the screening, diaganosis and treatment options is crucial for the specialty pharmacist caring for these patients. This activity includes a patient case study to help thoroughly explore the challenges with this disease.

Learning Objectives

The target audience for this activity includes pharmacists. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Describe the epidemiology, risk factors, pathology, and etiology of lung cancer.
  • Discuss diagnosis and staging of both SCLC and NSCLC.
