This is the third and final part of Dr. Weiss's presentation on "Highlights in Lung Cancer, 2011". After focusing on developments in relatively narrow subpopulations with distinct molecular markers in the first two parts of his webinar, Dr. Weiss closed with his coverage of a couple of issues with broader applicability: the new data supporting CT screening for higher risk people with a significant smoking history, and also some new data addressing the question of whether elderly patients are best served by receiving single agent or doublet chemotherapy.
Below you'll find the podcast of the program in audio and video formats, as well as the transcript and figures for this activity.
