Annual Oncology Symposium: Thoracic Malignancies CME CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION Friday, May 2, 2014 Glaser Auditorium Swedish/First Hill 747 Broadway Seattle, Washington
Needs Statement The American Cancer Society s 2013 Cancer Facts & Figures estimated that 228,190 new cases of lung cancer (the most common type of thoracic cancer) were expected in 2013. This accounts for 14% of all cancer diagnoses. Though the incidence rate has begun to decline in the past few years, lung cancer still accounts for more deaths than any other cancer in both men and women and is the second overall leading cause of death in North America after heart disease. New improvements in radiation therapy platforms, surgical techniques, combined therapies and novelties in related fields have begun to improve survival rates; however, to continue to provide optimal, cohesive therapeutic care for thoracic cancer patients, it is necessary to rapidly disseminate knowledge of the latest advances to oncologists and other treating physicians and allied health professionals. Recent studies have shown that less than a quarter of patients diagnosed with localized lung cancer received testing in the guideline-recommended sequence, resulting in complications and unnecessary costs. Guidelineconsistent care is associated with better patient outcomes and fewer invasive tests. With lung cancer screening of high-risk patients becoming more common, it is essential for all treating physicians, including primary-care, to receive essential guidelines and recommendations to provide optimal patient care. National experts will present on the following topics where knowledge and competence are needed: lung cancer screening, small peripheral cancers, lung cancer in octogenarians, stage IV adeno carcinoma, immunotherapy, social media and cancer care, T4 spine/pancoast and modern palliation of lung cancer. Less common malignancies, arising from other intrathoracic organs such as the esophagus, the pleura or the thymus, will also be reviewed. Course Description Based on the target audience and the learners scope of practice, the goal of this symposium is to present a comprehensive approach to cancer treatment for patients with thoracic related malignancies. This multidisciplinary meeting will promote collaboration between surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology and primary care to achieve the best possible outcome for thoracic cancer patients. Intended Audience This conference is targeted towards all health-care workers in the Northwest Region who treat patients suffering from thoracic malignancies. This includes physicians, nurses, allied health professionals and residents. It is especially relevant for primary-care, internal medicine, pulmonology, medical oncology, radiology oncology and surgery (working with thoracic patients).
