Dr. Le, Radiation Oncologist from Stanford, on Radiation Options for Early Stage NSCLC
Dr West
Dr. Quynh Le, radiation oncologist and Professor at Stanford University, was kind enough to participate in our NSCLC Patient Education Forum. She spoke on the topic of emerging treatment options using radiation for early stage NSCLC. The new work she's describing on stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is looking promising enough that it's being considered increasingly as a very strong choice for people with localized lung cancer but who aren't good candidates for surgery or are disinclined to pursue it. In fact, much of the debate in the lung cancer community is about whether SBRT appears compelling enough to be considered as a viable alternative to surgery even in patients who are fine candidates for resection.

A Brief Tornado. I love the analogy Dr. Antonoff gave us to describe her presentation. I felt it earlier too and am looking forward to going back for deeper dive.
