Managing Locally Advanced NSCLC: Summary from a Talk to Patients & Caregivers
Dr West
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

Here is the third portion of a talk I did at the Seattle-based non-profit Cancer Lifeline in May, and this section focuses on our current standards for managing unresectable locally advanced (stage III NSCLC).
