Dr. Alan Sandler from OHSU describes how acquired resistance to targeted therapies in lung cancer is similar to what is seen with chemo and comments on how he manages patients demonstrating gradual acquired resistance in advanced lung cancer.

Dr. William Pao explains the caveats of molecular testing in terms of differences in testing methods through different laboratories and the heterogeneity of molecular findings in different biopsies even within the same individual with lung cancer.

The second part of the webinar by Dr.

Dr. Geoffrey Oxnard conveys a central theme that the benefits of molecular oncology and optimal application of targeted therapies are dependent on a change in collecting tissue that works to obtain far more tissue than was historically required.

Here's the first of two podcasts from a webinar featuring expert thoracic surgeon Dr. David Harpole from Duke University.

Dr. Heather Wakelee from Stanford University expresses her practice pattern for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who would need a repeat biopsy to obtain sufficient tissue to perform molecular marker testing.
