Talk with Patients: Relapsed SCLC and Amrubicin
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

A few weeks ago, I gave a talk at a Seattle non-profit called Cancer Lifeline, at which I described some of the highlights of current lung cancer treatment and the direction of ongoing research. I recorded that lecture (which does include some stray sounds in the background), and I thought it would be helpful to make it available to people online.

The talk lasted over an hour, so we're breaking it up into pieces on a discrete topic. The first one is on SCLC and specifically relapsed disease, where I focused primarily on work with amrubicin.

Here is the slide set, the transcript, a link to the audio (mp3) version, and then the video podcast presentation. More topics to come.
