The first of several podcasts we'll be adding here from our ASCO 2012 Lung Cancer Highlights program, co-sponsored with LUNGevity Foundation, is with Dr. Mark Socinski, Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, who discussed the updated results of continuation maintenance therapy with Alimta (pemetrexed) on the PARAMOUNT trial. Here is his summary of the presentation that now includes data on the overall survival in that study, which demonstrated a significant benefit for the recipients of continuation maintenance Alimta.
