Here's the beginning of a new podcast with my friend, Dr. Gerard Silvestri, who is a pulmonologist at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston. He did a live webinar with us a few months ago, co-sponsored by GRACE and the LUNGevity Foundation, on the topic of pulmonary complications from lung cancer treatment, with the first part of his presentation focusing on chemotherapy-induced pneumonitis (lung inflammation), which we haven't spent a lot of time talking about.
Here's the first podcast from his presentation, in both video and audio podcast formats, as well as the transcript and figures from the program.
