Interview with Dr. Matthew Horton, Pathologist, Part 2: Neuroendocrine Lung Tumors & Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma
Dr West
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

This is a continuation of my discussion with Dr. Matthew Horton, a pathologist with a special training and a great expertise in lung pathology who works here in Seattle at a company called CellNetix.

This portion of our discussion covers the spectrum of neuroendocrine lung tumors, ranging from carcinoids to small cell lung cancer and large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas; we then turn to a discussion of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC), including everything from a little history to a look forward at a new interpretation of BAC. Below you'll find the audio and video versions of our discussion (the video with a few images of what we're talking about), and the associated transcript and figures.

Radiation therapy is primarily a localized treatment, meaning it precisely targets a specific tumor or area of the body, unlike systemic treatments (like chemotherapy) that affect the whole body.
