Dr. Shirish Gadgeel on Managing Locally Advanced NSCLC

Howard (Jack) West, MD

Our next podcast slide presentation comes from Dr. Shirish Gadgeel, medical oncologist at Wayne State University in Detroit. He came out to Seattle for a physician education program I run and was kind enough to stay for our NSCLC Patient Education Forum, where he spoke on our Current Standards of Care for Locally Advanced (Stage III) NSCLC.

Here's his presentation in audio and video formats, along with the transcript and copies of the slides.

One theme he notes is that developing management plans in this setting requires careful discussion and integration of the various specialties. Care is individualized by the details of the patient's cancer, the health of the patient, and sometimes the strengths of the treating center.

Dr. Gadgeel is planing to join us as a guest faculty member in early 2010, so there will be opportunities to have him cover particular questions about this topic and others.

While Dr. Ryckman described radiation oncology as "the perfect blend of nerd skills and empathy".  

I hope any...

My understanding of ADCs is very basic. I plan to study Dr. Rous’ discussion to broaden that understanding.

Here's the webinar on YouTube.  It begins with the agenda. Note the link is a playlist, which will be populated with shorts from the webinar on specific topics

An antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) works a bit like a Trojan horse. It has three main components:

  1. The antibody, which serves as the “horse,” specifically targets a protein found on cancer...
