Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

This pilot video slide presentation covers the development of our current standards for first line chemotherapy to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

These series will be called GRACEcasts (love it?), and we're in the process of developing a bunch of audio interviews with experts for an audio channel, and multiple video presentations, which are going to be about 10 minutes each, just little chapters at one time.

And you don't need to worry about getting all of the information in one viewing, because we'll plan to upload a copy of the slides and a transcript of the narration that you can download and review anytime.
