Molecular Markers in Lung Cancer: Dr. Charlie Rudin on the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium

Howard (Jack) West, MD

This is the first of a series of podcasts from the two hour special webinar we did in partnership with the LUNGevity Foundation at the Santa Monica "Targeted Therapies in Lung Cancer" meeting several weeks ago.  There, I was privileged to be joined by four excellent guest faculty members -- Dr. Charles Rudin from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Dr. Alice Shaw from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Dr. David Spigel from Sarah Cannon Cancer Center in Nashville, and Dr. Glen Goss from the University of Ottawa.  They each brought their rich experience and some differing perspectives on the complex and evolving topic of how to apply new work on molecular markers in lung cancer to clinical practice.

Below you'll find links to the audio and video versions of the podcast, along with the transcript and figures.

This program also includes additional discussion before and after his presentation, as the webinar featured both presentations by the guest faculty and a panel discussion about the most timely questions in the field.  It was a lot of fun for me and our panel, and I hope you find it both interesting and educational.

The next part will be Dr. Shaw speaking on their experience of broadly molecularly profiling their patients at Massachusetts General Hospital for markers and what they've learned from that work.

Hi app.92,  Welcome to Grace.  I'm sorry this is late getting to you. And more sorry your mum is going through this.  It's possible this isn't a pancoast tumor even though...

A Brief Tornado.  I love the analogy Dr. Antonoff gave us to describe her presentation.  I felt it earlier too and am looking forward to going back for deeper dive.

Dr. Singhi's reprise on appropriate treatment, "Right patient, right time, right team".

While Dr. Ryckman described radiation oncology as "the perfect blend of nerd skills and empathy".  

I hope any...

My understanding of ADCs is very basic. I plan to study Dr. Rous’ discussion to broaden that understanding.

Here's the webinar on YouTube.  It begins with the agenda. Note the link is a playlist, which will be populated with shorts from the webinar on specific topics

An antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) works a bit like a Trojan horse. It has three main components:

  1. The antibody, which serves as the “horse,” specifically targets a protein found on cancer...
