Dr. Lecia Sequist on the Value of Repeat Biopsies with Ongoing Treatment of Lung Cancer
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

slide04 Here's a continuation of the webinar content by Dr. Lecia Sequist, who is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). At the time of her live presentation, she was unable to discuss some very new work that was about to be published on their experience at MGH in repeating biopsies on patients over the course of their ongoing treatment, and the interesting and sometimes treatment-changing results they found.

This second podcast includes her presentation on this very timely information that was, frankly, surprising to many in the lung cancer community, as well as to the investigators themselves. The presentation is in video and audio podcast forms, along with the associated transcript and figures.

Hi elysianfields and welcome to Grace.  I'm sorry to hear about your father's progression.

Hi elysianfields,
