Dr. Govindan on Lung Cancer: Past, Present, and Future Directions
Dr West
My friend and colleague, Dr. Ramiswamy Govindan, is one of the national leaders in lung cancer, and he was kind enough to participate in our NSCLC Patient Education Forum. There, he spoke in some general terms about what patients might expect from chemo/radiation for locally advanced lung cancer (which could include limited SCLC as well as stage III NSCLC), but he also used the occasion to talk about general guidelines about where we've come from and where we're going with cancer treatments. He also covered his impressions on diet, supplements, managing toxicities, and other practical aspects of receiving cancer treatment.
Here is the link to the audio and video versions of the podcast, as well as the figures and transcript.

Hi app.92, Welcome to Grace. I'm sorry this is late getting to you. And more sorry your mum is going through this. It's possible this isn't a pancoast tumor even though...
A Brief Tornado. I love the analogy Dr. Antonoff gave us to describe her presentation. I felt it earlier too and am looking forward to going back for deeper dive.
