Dr. Minesh Mehta is a Professor of Radiation Oncology at Northwestern University, and he is also a world leader in the study and management of brain metastases. He was kind enough to join us for a webinar several weeks ago in which he discussed the evidence about the benefits as well as the acute and longer term risks of various treatments that might prevent the development brain metastases or treat them if they're identified. Here is the podcast of his presentation in both audio and video form. Along with them, you'll find below the transcript and figures associated with this program. dr-minesh-mehta-prevention-and-treatment-of-brain-mets-audio-podcast dr-minesh-mehta-prevention-and-treatment-of-brain-mets-transcript dr-minesh-mehta-prevention-and-treatment-of-brain-mets-figs We had a great Q&A session after this webinar, which we'll post as a separate podcast in the next week or so. I wanted to again express sincere thanks to LUNGevity Foundation for partnering with us and making this webinar possible. I hope you find it helpful.

He also covers side effect challenges with radiation and particularly when chest radiation is combined with chemotherapy. In addition to the audio portion, there are a few figures synchronized with the discussion in the video version, or you can just download the figures as a separate pdf file.
