Locally Advanced NSCLC in the Frail/Elderly: Podcast of Case Discussion with Drs. Hesketh and Kelly
Dr West
Here is the second of three cases covering issues in managing elderly and frail patients with lung cancer that I discussed with experts Paul J. Hesketh from Lahey Clinic and Karen Kelly from Kansas University Medical Center. Both major experts in lung cancer, they have a lot of experience and have been leaders in publishing on the understudied population of elderly and poor performance status patients with lung cancer. This particular case covers treatment options for a patient with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Here is the audio and video versions of the podcast, along with the figures and transcript.
