Stephen Liu, MD provides updates to our Lung Cancer Video Library. In this recent video, Dr. Liu discusses Emerging Molecular Targets For Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Radiation therapy can be very helpful in treating painful bone metastases or those at risk for causing a fracture due to compromise of bone strength. Dr. Vivek Mehta reviews the basics of this approach. Please feel free to offer comments and raise questions in our Discussion Forums. Transcript

Transcript One of the important points about patients with advanced lung cancer is that 30-40% of patients will develop bone metastases. I think it’s important to recognize this is not bone cancer, this is lung cancer that’s moved to the bone, and in 30-40% of patients at some point who have

Dr. Ross Camidge, University of Colorado, describes ALK rearrangements and the characteristics of patients who most often have them.

Dr. Ross Camidge, University of Colorado, describes ROS-1 rearrangements and compares them to ALK rearrangements in frequency of occurrence and response to treatment.

Dr. Ross Camidge, University of Colorado, addresses the question of whether to use a second generation ALK inhibitor as first line therapy or only after acquired resistance to crizotinib.

Dr. Ed Kim from the Levine Cancer Institute in Charlotte, NC summarizes the mechanism of next generation sequencing (NGS), how it can potentially be used, and its limitations in clinical practice today.

Dr. Mark Socinski, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, describes strategies for treatment of the elderly and frail patient with locally advanced NSCLC.

Dr. Nathan Pennell, Cleveland Clinic, discusses acquired resistance to Xalkori in ALK-positive patients, and second generation inhibitors designed to overcome that resistance, such as Zykadia and alectinib.

Dr. Jared Weiss, UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses the use of single agent vs. doublet chemotherapy in elderly patients.

For our 5th video in the GRACE Spanish Lung Cancer Library, Antonio Calles, MD joined GRACE to discuss the most appropriate treatment for elderly patients with advanced NSCLC, and whether age alters the recommendations.

For our 7th video in the GRACE Spanish Lung Cancer Library, Antonio Calles, MD joined GRACE to discuss the best treatment for frail patients with advanced NSCLC.

For our 16th video in the GRACE Spanish Lung Cancer Library, Brian Hunis, MD joined GRACE to discuss ALK rearrangements, what they are who has them.

For our 17th video in the GRACE Spanish Lung Cancer Library, Brian Hunis, MD joined GRACE to discuss first line therapy for NSCLC patients that have anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive.

For our 18th video in the GRACE Spanish Lung Cancer Library, Brian Hunis, MD joined GRACE to discuss acquired resistance to targeted therapies: biology and different clinical patterns.
