COP Overview & Purpose

The Communities of Oncology Practice: Treatment Options for Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Head & Neck Cancer program is designed to update physicians in a practical context on the current status of first-line and salvage treatments for patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and head & neck cancer. Strategies pertinent to improving outcomes and ameliorating toxicities will be highlighted so that the physician is educated sufficiently on the various treatment options for thoracic malignancies in order to determine the optimal treatment plan for each patient. Emphasis will be placed on conveying the key findings from recent oncology meetings that will most directly impact optimal physician practice.
