Here is the second part of the presentation on "Lung Cancer Highlights, 2011" by Dr. Jared Weiss.  This section of his talk focuses on the striking story of the identification of the ALK rearrangement as a relevant target in lung cancer, along with an impressive treatment for this subgroup, and other new targets, such as ROS-1.  

Below you'll find the audio and video versions of the podcast, as well as the transcript and figures.

The third and final part of Dr. Weiss's presentation will focus on advances for broader populations: smokers and the elderly.  He'll cover the lung cancer screening trial known as the NLST, as well as an influential presentation of single agent vs. doublet chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.  Look for that here very soon.
