Managing Locally Advanced NSCLC: Summary from a Talk to Patients & Caregivers


Here is the third portion of a talk I did at the Seattle-based non-profit Cancer Lifeline in May, and this section focuses on our current standards for managing unresectable locally advanced (stage III NSCLC).   This covers theissues of sequential vs. concurrent chemo with radiation and the important issue of whether additional consolidation chemo after the radiation is feasible and advisable.  It also covers the emerging key trials being done in this treatment setting.

Here is the presentation in video format, the audio version, transcript, and a pdf file of the figures.
