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.

Bispecifics, or bispecific antibodies, are advanced immunotherapy drugs engineered to have two binding sites, allowing them to latch onto two different targets simultaneously, like a cancer cell and a T-cell, effectively...
The prefix “oligo–” means few. Oligometastatic (at diagnosis) Oligoprogression (during treatment)
There will be a discussion, “Studies in Oligometastatic NSCLC: Current Data and Definitions,” which will focus on what we...
Radiation therapy is primarily a localized treatment, meaning it precisely targets a specific tumor or area of the body, unlike systemic treatments (like chemotherapy) that affect the whole body.

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.
