AGENDA
Welcome and Introduction
Understanding the Pathophysiology of COVID-19
Recognizing the Risk of COVID-19 in Patients with Lung Cancer
Managing Patients with Lung Cancer During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Q&A Session and Concluding Remarks

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Patients with underlying health conditions such as lung cancer are at greater risk for infection or complications from COVID-19. Because of this increased risk, it is important that these patients are carefully managed, with telemedicine replacing in-person visits where possible. However, monitoring patients via telemedicine requires special attention, particularly because symptoms of COVID-19 infection are similar to common adverse events associated with lung cancer treatment.

This activity, “Lung Cancer and COVID-19 in the Outpatient Setting: What Clinicians Need to Know” will provide clinicians with the most up-to-date guidance on managing lung cancer during the current pandemic, including information on the pathophysiology of Sars-Cov-2, the risk of infection in patients with lung cancer, and strategies to manage patient care and counsel through telemedicine.
