Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

GRACE is happy to present the 2nd in our series ASCO 2016 Lung Cancer Roundtable, Highlights and New Approaches in Lung Cancer.  Featuring Jack West, MD, Janet Freeman-Daily, Everett Vokes, MD, and Suresh Ramalingam, MD, this roundtable discussion, moderated by Dr. West, highlights the newest and most intriguing discussions from ASCO 2016.

Drs. West, Vokes and Ramalingam, along with patient advocate Janet Freeman-Daily, discuss the subject of whether online patient groups can help speed the development of new targeted therapies - a subject quite important to online groups such as our own community here at GRACE.

 

Stay tuned for more in this series.
