Dr. Ralph Aye, Thoracic Surgeon, on Surgery in Management of NSCLC
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

As the next installment of the podcast series from the GRACE NSCLC Patient Education Forum, I'm pleased to offer a presentation by the Chief of the Thoracic Oncology Division at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle -- my own institution. Dr. Aye has been at the center of the program from the beginning, and whatever success our center has achieved in the field is a reflection on his steady leadership. He was one of the leading reasons I felt I would be happy at Swedish, and nearly seven years later, I can say that he's been one of my favorite aspects of working there. Not every lung cancer program is as collegial and collaborative in its multi-disciplinary approach.

He's also a terrific surgeon, and his talk is on the general principles of surgery for early stage NSCLC. Here's links to the video and audio only versions of his presentation, as well as the transcript and figures.

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.
