Interview: Dr. George Simon on Molecular Markers for Chemo Effectiveness in Lung Cancer
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

My friend George Simon, the Medical Director of the Thoracic Oncology Program at the Fox Chase Cancer Institute, is one of the leading experts in clinical research on the molecular correlates of the activity of chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer. We sat down together at the end of the recent World Conference on Lung Cancer to discuss some of this work and the general state of this growing field of research.

Here in audio version of the presentation, a pdf file of the figures, a transcript of our conversation, and the video version with the figures synchronized with the discussion.

Don't let the word "small" deceive you. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) casts a long shadow, impacting lives with its aggressive nature and the complexities of its treatment. But while the challenges are real, so is the progress. Breakthroughs in small cell lung cancer treatment offer hope. Immunotherapy plus chemo-radiation improves survival by 22 months. Screening catches it early.
