Overview

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Appropriate management of lung nodules detected incidentally or through lung cancer screening can increase the rate of early-stage diagnoses and potentially improve treatment outcomes. Comprehensive lung nodule programs have the potential to benefit the patient, physician, and hospital system.

The target audience for this activity is: physicians (primary care and specialist), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. 

Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to:

• Describe interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication to advance the management of pulmonary nodules and improve outcomes.
• Recognize nodule characteristics that lead to suspicion of lung cancer or benignity.
• Identify management strategies for indeterminate nodular findings.
