Round Table with Drs. Blumenschein and Curran, Bulky Stage IIIB NSCLC
Here is the third and final case I discussed with two great experts in locally advanced NSCLC. Drs. George Blumenschein, medical oncologist from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, and Wally Curran, radiation oncologist from Winship Cancer Center at Emory University in Atlanta, joined me several weeks ago to discuss a series of challenging cases that illustrate the complexities and array of options in treating patients with stage III NSCLC.
This case is a woman with bulky stage IIIB NSCLC that involves lymph nodes above the collarbone (supraclavicular lymph nodes) on both sides, putting her in the outer reaches of what we could envision being treated for cure. Our discussion includes consideration of the potential approaches, including the potential value of chemo before or after concurrent chemo and radiation. It also covers the difficulty of assessing response after treatment, and the risk of radiation pneumonitis.

I don’t think the link to the podcast is working!
Apologies — neither the audio or video links are working. I’ll revise those links ASAP, or we’ll reload the files. They should be up properly very soon. In the meantime, the figures and transcript are available for anyone who wants them now.
Dr. West,
I can’t tell you how much this has helped us.
My husband has StageIIIb locally advanced NSCLC and having trawled the web for the last 6 months hoping to find out if all that was being done for him was ‘ok’ and not just shot in the dark style work, we now know where to come for reassurance. We were told we had one of if not ‘the’ best Lung Onc. in our country… but there are always doubts!!!
Thanks a million!
