Dr West

I’m doing a series of GRACEcast programs that are in the form of a round table discussion with 2-3  of my colleagues around the country.  In this format, I’ll present a few cases that include a sketch of who the patient is, their cancer history (extent and results of prior treatments), and the current issue(s).  I sometimes include images of their recent scans to give a sense of the issue.

If you’re interested in having your (anonymous) case discussed in a podcast with a couple of lung cancer experts, please send me (west@cancergrace.org) a brief sketch of your history, current question(s), and best ways to reach you (please don’t send scans yet — I may ask for images 1-2 key scans later, most likely sent via regular mail). It will be better to not include a long missive right now, and we can add details later. Because I’ll be looking for cases that have some controversy, don’t expect a clear answer of what to do, but rather a good discussion of the options: meanwhile, I’ll try to pin down my colleagues on how they would approach the situation.  Please also know that because we won’t have all of the details of a person’s situations, this isn’t meant to constitute medical advice, but at least it will offer some thoughts from the leading experts about how they would approach a similar situation.

So if you’re interested, please send an e-mail with “Potential podcast case” in the subject line, a concise summary to me at west@cancergrace.org, and we can hope to see your input lead to a good discussion of the most central topics in lung cancer care.   We probably won’t be able to cover everyone’s scenarios and questions, but I’ll try to incorporate as many broad, timely questions in lung cancer as possible.
