Howard (Jack) West, MD

Harpole 1 EBUS EUS Staging picHere's the first of two podcasts from a webinar featuring expert thoracic surgeon Dr. David Harpole from Duke University.  He and the Duke team have been leaders in developing new techniques and leading and presenting national trials that have advanced the field of lung cancer surgery, so it's fitting to have him cover the leading advances of the past, present, and future in his own words.

The first part of his presentation focuses on advances in lung cancer staging that been shaped by and also in turn shape lung cancer surgery.

Advance directives are a powerful way to take control of healthcare choices. These documents allow you to outline preferences for medical care and specify end-of-life wishes. These documents can also be a way to appoint loved ones who you would like to help with these decisions, such as a healthcare proxy (someone to make decisions on your behalf, if you cannot). As cancer treatments can involve aggressive treatments and/or complex medical management, having advance directives ensures that your desires regarding treatment options and end-of-life care are clearly communicated.
